Briefly tell us about your wedding experience and how the both of you felt on your big day. 

 Our wedding experience was spectacular! We started it off with a  Welcome Party to set the tone for the weekend. Lots of tequila + Tacos! The vibes were flowing and you could feel the great energy exuding off of all of our guests. The ceremony accompanied our favorite 90s R&B songs while overlooking the scenic views of the beach. Our vows to one another were heartfelt and truly told our love story. At the reception, we brought it back to college, dancing the night away! We ended our weekend with a Sunday Funday at our resort’s pool. 

Khalia: I felt like a princess! It was so magical and felt amazing to finally marry the love of my life. 

Brandon: I was ecstatic! It’s hard to believe that the year and a half of preparation all came down to this moment! 

Wedding song, and the significance of the song: 

“Find Someone Like You” – Snoh Aalegra. We wanted our first dance to be a song that embodied us as a couple. This song speaks to us and we were so grateful to dance with one another cherishing our fondest memories of falling in love. 

What are you most looking forward to as a married couple? As a married couple, we are looking forward to building a lasting legacy with one another. We aim to grow closer together spiritually, emotionally, and financially. As a married couple we can’t wait to continue traveling the world and creating new memories.
