Reception

Our Wedding

James and Philana were first introduced during high school while traveling together on a bus to a basketball game. By the end of the trip, James presented Philana with a small keepsake, asking her to place it in her locker so that it would be the first thing she saw each morning and would serve as a reminder of him. At the time, neither could have foreseen how that simple gesture would mark the beginning of a lifelong journey.What began as a meaningful friendship gradually deepened over the years into a profound partnership. As soulmates, they have remained steadfastly committed to one another, to the family they have built, and to their shared growth—both as individuals and as a couple.It is with great joy that we invite you to join us on our wedding day as we unite in marriage before God. Your attendance would mean the world to us as we celebrate this sacred milestone in our story.We look forward to sharing this special occasion with you.With warmest regards,James &amp; Philana
