Christa and Isaac moved to California to pursue important dreams: for Christa, to live there and work with a dance company and for Isaac, to be close to family. They thought those dreams were important enough until they found the most romantic dream – each other. Now, […]

Engagement sessions are just as important as picking a wedding date. But why, you ask?

LaTravia + Kerron = PVAMU Love
…when girl meets boy…
It all began, spring 2009 at Prairie View A&M University in Dr. McNeil’s, Business Statistics class. As I (LaTravia) sat in class talking with my good friend Morgan, in walks Kerron. I’d always found him attractive, but never did I muster the courage to make conversation. After about 2-3 class lectures and our girl talk conversations about him, Morgan helped to make the connection that blossomed into unconditional love.
Upon Kerron’s spring 2010 graduation, he relocated to Virginia after accepting a career opportunity. We spent this time in a long distance relationship – Sometimes arguing over absolutely nothing, but realizing it was just our frustrations of longing to be together. As time drew closer to my fall 2010 graduation, we talked more and more about my relocating to Virginia. With much prayer and faith on December 19, 2010 (the day after graduation) we took the longest road trip together to Virginia to begin our lives, together.

Gradually, they found their way into each other’s hearts […]
