Black Bride Moment of the Day: The Most Woke (and Beautiful) Wedding on the 'Gram

Black pride meets bridal bliss on this couple's unforgettable wedding day.
By Lauren Porter · Updated October 27, 2020
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

I love, love its such a beautiful thing shared by so many people all over the world! When you see something that speaks hate you must not stay silent I don't believe in violence but I had to take a moment out of my day to share my sympathies and condolences to everyone who has lost someone due to all of this sillyness #blacklivesmatter #alllivesmatter

Love–it brings out the best in people.

Full smiles, fly attire and feelings of pride and joy. For one couple spotted on Instagram, they gave us all that and then some. 

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Lokko, who have just stopped the world with their woke wedding photos. 

Bridal Bliss: Elo and Lauren’s Glam Wedding Will Stop You In Your Tracks​

Both the bride, groom and their respective bridal parties brought all types of beauty in breathtaking images with their Black pride on display for all to see. 

 

Saturday was a blessing and the atmosphere was filled with such love! However love moves one to remember their neighbour. - I in the past have been a victim of police brutality, so have so many of my peers. We are just fortunate that the UK dosen't condone all officers being armed. - Love transcends colour! So this is not a racial incitement. Just a prompt to those who do not agree, that #blacklivesmatter. 'If the peacekeepers are not peaceful then how can there be peace?". #alllivesmatter #lokkedin #theroyalwedding #london suit 🎩: @ozwald_boateng

Tying the knot in London, the showstopping “I Do’s” didn’t end with raised fists in gorgeous attire–you can tell that the love these two newlyweds share is true. 

Yesterday will forever stand because love is eternal. God is love. ❤ The woman in this pic some years back would follow me to my cleaning job, almost every Monday and Thursday evening. Even as I carried the black bags to the waste storage and scrubbed the toilets, she would still look at me like I was the man! - I told her I was born to be an influencer on a world stage and she stuck by me until it began to manifest. We had to delay the big day last year but delay dont mean denial. The joy, miracle and spectacle that was yesterday was right on time. Love's time, God's time. @cassiex1x @lajetfete #Lokkedin #TheRoyalWedding 📷📸: @smedleyshots Suit🎩: @Ozwald_boateng
