Being A Bride
“I did not have many expectations for being a bride,” said Nakita. “I took a lot of time to plan this surprise, and I was just excited for it to all finally unfold.”
03
Will You Be Mine?
“I’ve actually had two proposals,” admitted the bride. “The first was not romantic in the least. We were headed to get breakfast, and as i walked in the room he asked, “ Yes or No?” I said, “Yes or no what?” I was clueless, because it came completely out of thin air.. Needless to say, he was turned down. The second proposal was on my birthday April 15, 2014. He took me to a Jazz club in our town, and proposed over dinner.”
