The Little Details
It was important for Dawn to support minority vendors. She bought her wedding gown from the Black-owned Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier.
“I had a really great experience,” she remembers. “When I tried on my dress and I saw the look on my sister’s face it hit me like, ‘This is my dress.’ It felt like me, very relaxed. It was so comfortable I wore it the whole night.”

“It’s about enjoying life and moving forward with each other,” Dawn says of enjoying the rest of her days with Derrin.
Dawn and Derrin’s wedding was coordinated by David Watkins of The Watkins Project.
