Dana Dillon-Townes and Nonye Onyewu met while studying at Virginia Tech. The two were friends first, but their love blossomed over Sunday dinners at another student’s home. This summer, after nine years together, the couple tied the knot in a fabulous affair.
The couple said “I Do” at St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Portsmouth, Virginia on July 31, 2010. The reception was held at the Portsmouth Renaissance Hotel and the wedding was planned with the help of Antonia Christianson, www.antoniachristiansonevents.com
One of the perks of working at L’Oreal is you get to hire the experts you work with to primp you for your wedding. Dana’s friend Siddeeqah Raoof, the testing director for Redken, came down to Virgina from New York to make sure Dana’s hairstyle was perfect.
“I really like it now,” Dana says of being married to Nonye. “It’s like having your best friend around all the time.”
