Jessica and Tiesha’s black tie wedding at Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland was a day they’ll never forget.
“Our day was perfect!” they shared. “The best memory was the love that was felt throughout our wedding day, the love that we could feel in the room, and the fact that our wedding guests danced all night.”
The pair, who first met through a mutual friend at Fells Point, were instantly drawn to each other. Tiesha was first struck by Jessica’s beauty and how fun it was to be around her. Jessica thought Tiesha was cute, fun, and intriguing.
Growing in love and supporting each other through good times and bad times, they each knew they found the one. On March 3rd, 2021, celebrating their third anniversary as girlfriends, Tiesha proposed during a lunch picnic on the beach. It was intimate and romantic, everything Jessica had hoped for in a proposal.
Their classic black-tie wedding at Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland was a beautiful testament to their love story and an exciting beginning to their future together. Captured by Muna Coterie member, Shot By Hendrix, and expertly planned by Bird of Paradise Events, Jessica and Tiesha relished every second of their wedding.

Describe your first date.
Our 1st date consisted of going to get Jessica candles and an impromptu dinner date.
When did you know you found the one?
Tiesha felt a deep connection with Jessica early on, specifically during a challenging time when Jessica stood by her side after the passing of Tiesha’s mom. This support was a crucial moment that solidified Tiesha’s belief that Jessica was the one for her.
On the other hand, Jessica found her certainty during their first Valentine’s Day together.
Tiesha’s attention to detail and the intentional effort she put into making the day special left a lasting impression on Jessica. The small, minute details Tiesha observed and incorporated into their celebration took Jessica’s breath away, making her realize that Tiesha was the one she wanted to spend her life with.
Tell us your proposal story.
In fulfilling Jessica’s desire for a private proposal, I meticulously organized a trip to Los Cabo, Mexico. Originally, the proposal was set to take place during dinner at one of the La Blanc resort’s restaurants. However, the overwhelming anticipation and sheer excitement prompted an impromptu change of plans.
So, March 3rd, 2021 marked our third-year anniversary as girlfriends. The significance of the day added an extra layer of meaning to the proposal. Unable to contain my eagerness until dinner, I decided on a more intimate setting – a private picnic on the beach and asked Jessica to be my wife over lunch on the beach.
Wedding Style: Describe your wedding attire.
Tiesha wore a custom suit by Garcon Couture, New York. The suit adorned their wedding date 9.9.23 and the back of her vest had their personalized monogram. Jessica found her perfect dress which accompanied a cathedral veil, fit for the princess she was. Guests were informed to wear all-black formal attire.
What is your best memory from your wedding?
The best memory was the love that was felt throughout our wedding day, the love that we could feel in the room and the fact that our wedding guests danced all night. Our day was perfect!
