On May 15, 2016, Daryl and Raven joined one another in holy matrimony and danced the night away at The Sterling Ballroom, Doubletree Hilton Tinton Falls, NJ. A romantic wedding, full of laughter, the radiant love Raven and Daryl share shined so very bright on their big day!
Facebook friends since 2009, this beautiful couple met at a church function. Darryl proposed to Raven on Easter of 2015 at Allaire State Park. A gorgeous Sunday evening, in Raven’s mind they were just taking nice pictures by nice old vintage barnyards. In Daryl’s mind it was the perfect location to pop the big question, so what originally was suppose to be Easter pictures – turned into their Engagement photo session.
With a vintage wedding style in mind, Raven and Daryl planned their perfect day – their vision of what the day meant for the two of them as they embarked on their new adventure in life as husband and wife. Nothing quite set the sentiment for how romantic their wedding day was like the tears of awe that streamed down Daryl’s face when he heard his beautiful bride singing herself down the aisle. To see him so vulnerable and emotional is a moment Raven will forever cherish.
Before their vows, the bridesmaids were living it up in the bridal suite with custom robes embossed with their nicknames and the year they met the Bride; as well as jewelry for the wedding, a hanky, and a clutch which they loved to hold all their important things throughout the wedding night. While the Groomsmen were prepping for their hilarious speeches filled with love for Raven and Daryl, they got pimped out in matching socks and ties.
Once the reception was underway, DJ Reem at TotalXperience TNT really got the party started – right after Raven and Daryl shared their first sweet dance as husband and wife to Shine by BJ the Chicago Kid. With Yamean Studios and Shannon Davis Photography catching all the glorious wedding moments on video and in photographs, the guests really had the time of their lives celebrating Raven and Daryl.
A joyous occasion filled with nothing but love, we would like to thank the happy couple for allowing us to be a part of their amazing celebration. Raven and Daryl, we truly hope your life together is just as amazing as the day you stood before God and said: “I do.” That you continue to “get one another” through it all!
