Black Wedding Moment Of The Day: This Bride and Groom's Baby Joy Was Everything At The Altar

We now pronounce you man, wife and adorable baby bump.
By Lauren Porter · Updated October 26, 2020

I married the woman of my dreams yesterday and I am still living in that dream. My wife is simply perfection. Her beauty is incomparable. Baby you make being pregnant look stunning and effortless. I love you so much @tieraopegbemi #tierawedsdavid2016 📷 by @temi.coker

Wedding days are all about the celebration of love and when you’re a bride with a growing baby bump it’s also a celebration of the wonderful new life that’s being expected!

In our Black wedding moment of the day, this bride and her groom can’t help but experience the joy that is the little one they have created. 

The bride walked down the aisle not once but twice in a Nigerian ceremony as well as a traditional white affair rocking two gorgeous looks with her eight month baby bump at the center of it all. 

Bridesmaids gang! 14 bridesmaids, 14 personalities, 2 weddings, and 1 union. I seriously love each of these girls and couldn't have done it without them! My weekend was full of laughter, bickering, and all but I wouldn't change a thing! Im still reminiscing on this weekend!

Completely in love with the glow that is new wife exuded, the groom couldn’t resist not only helping his Mrs. with her dress but touching her growing belly throughout their wedding shoot.

Not only did they bride and groom slay the day but their respective bridal parties shut it down in the most glorious way possible and we’re here for it. 

 

Congratulations to the newlyweds and soon-to-be parents!
