Natisha and Sean-Michael both grew up in Antigua, went to the same college, and knew of each other through mutual friends for years. However, they first officially met in Texas in 2017 after Sean-Michael invited Natisha to celebrate his 25th birthday with him in Dallas. At the time, Sean-Michael was living in Minnesota and Natisha was living in Texas.
Once Sean-Michael left Texas, the two continued talking every day! They eventually planned their first date together in NYC, and decided to officially begin a long-distance relationship. The lovely couple became husband and wife earlier this year in a gorgeous, all-white wedding ceremony in Miami, Florida.

Briefly tell us about your wedding experience and how the both of you felt on your big day. Include your most memorable moment.
Groom: I was very nervous the morning of the wedding. I remember being dressed at the venue and finally taking a few seconds to breathe and relax. Seeing my wife for the first time I was just speechless; all I could do was smile. My most memorable moment was the surprise gift that Tish gave me during the ceremony. My father passed away a few years ago and Tish gifted me with a pin which had my father’s picture. She wanted my father with me on my wedding day. It was one of the most thoughtful things anyone has ever done for me
Bride: I was very calm the day of the wedding and felt at peace. Most memorable moment was walking down the aisle and seeing the expression on his face. I am eternally grateful for Sarsha Lepeche. She did an excellent job with my makeup, and made sure my dress was on point throughout the entire wedding.
