Real Weddings {California}: Talisha Graves & Eric Dawkins!

Wedding song:

I was so surprised to see Eric singing "It's Whatever," as I walked down the Aisle. I was clueless! "It's Whatever," our engagement now Wedding Song was written for me by the love of my life Eric Dawkins.

From Bride:

One of my biggest fears was from the many stories I've heard from both bride and grooms, that it went by like a flash, they were so caught up in the details and they really didn't get to enjoy themselves…The best advice anyone could have ever given me was to "take it all in, connect"…and I/we did! I Felt present in every moment. I can close me eyes and relive it as if it were yesterday. I saw faces as I walked down the aisle that simply filled me with joy… We had so much fun!!! The presence of God was everywhere!

Favorite detail:

"OMG!! Everything was picture perfect, from Eric singing and his Dad (Bishop Dawkins) and our Uncle (Elder Warren Campbell) performing the ceremony to the most gorgeous day (it rained Friday and Saturday before the wedding)…the decor was beautiful, the food was delicious, the cake was not only gorgeous, but mouthwatering, DJ Darius set the party off, our friends and family had a ball! If I can say, it was THE BEST wedding I have ever attended! We had so much freakin fun..the presence of God was EVERYWHERE!!! We literally planned our wedding in 3 weeks from start to finish!…nothing but the Grace of God!"- Tish

First Dance:

Luke James our dear friend and lil' brother surprised us by performing "I Want You"
