God directed Syneathea and Chris’s steps and both were wide awake and open to walking down those paths, bringing them to meet at a church revival. Just one year after Syneathea received a message in prayer about meeting her other half, the two came together and had a beautiful courtship. The very happy couple enjoyed every single moment of their big day which you can see in every shot in the gallery. A must see to bring a smile on any face.

Tell us about how you met and all about the proposal!
A year prior to meeting my husband, I was in church on the prayer line and the preacher told me that God was going to bless me with a husband who was going to knock the socks off of my feet. He was going to show and give love like I did. This man who is now my husband was going to sweep me off of my feet. So I spent a year wondering in my mind what he was going to look like, if he was going to be funny, would he know how to dance and where I would meet him? I couldn’t wait to meet the individual that God gifted me with in the next year. God told me when I was going to meet him and what he was going to be like and he is everything that God told me, on a hot sunny day in a revival service at Highway and Hedges Church of God In Christ.
Wedding Style
My wedding dress was simple ivory and age appropriate. My shopping day was calm, not stressful and I knew I had found my dress as soon as I tried it on in the store. I went shopping with my mom and God sister, Ashleigh. It was a great day! Everything went quick and smooth. My mother chose my dress and it was perfect for me.
Culture
Since I was a young girl, I always wanted rum cake to give out on my wedding day as a favor. Since my husband is Carribean, I was able to incorporate that as my favor. Ironically, my best friend remembered that I wanted this so she had my Aunt bless me with this as a bridal shower gift. I cried like a baby when my Aunt Sharon gave me my bridal shower card stating that she was gifting me the rum cake. Seeing them remember the small desires of my heart, I was so thankful.
Memories
One of my best memories is my husband crying throughout our entire wedding ceremony. Also, seeing him dance his heart out since I didn’t know he could dance until the day of our wedding at our reception. And laughing so much because I really enjoyed my day. It was the best day ever. My birthday and wedding day all in one. I really had a blast.
