Matching rose gold bands of love for the happy bride and groom.
“Orchids are my favorite flower, so deciding to use the Valentine Cuff by Diann Valentine for my big day was a very natural decision,” says Dunnie of her fabulous and non-traditional bouquet choice.
A sweet mother-daughter moment to remember.
“It was very magical and special from start to finish,” says Dunnie. “I am so thankful to God for allowing me to have my dream wedding.”
“What I love most about her is her silliness and determination,” says proud groom Ibrahim.
“It was unexpected, but I always lived with an open heart, so when he came into my life I was ready to give our love the opportunity to grow,” says Dunnie.
“She is everything I’ve always wanted in a woman and partner, so it was a very natural decision for me to ask her to marry me,” says the groom.
“I’m happy to be his wife because he is so loving,” says Dunnie. “He works to always make sure the people in his life are well taken care of and he is also so supportive of everything that I do.”
Dunnie’s bridesmaids were pretty in pink in these gorgeous gowns from OYATO.
Could this be any cuter? This adorable wagon moment was the work of Angela’s Fantasy Creations and it’s a real winner. We’re melting!
“My husband selected the groomsman attire,” says Dunnie. “He wanted them to look classic and timeless.”
A gorgeous oversized portrait of the happy couple helped to set the mood for fairytale romance. (Another amazing detail from Angela’s Fantasy Creations!)
The couple tied the knot at the Greystone Mansion Formal Garden in Beverly Hills, California. “We both wanted an outdoor ceremony so we researched for months to find the right location,” says Dunnie. “When we visited Greystone in person we knew instantly that’s where we wanted to get married.”
Please stand for the cutie pies!
The flower girl charmed the crowd as they prepared to greet Dunnie on her way down the aisle.
“My daddy walked me down the aisle,” says Dunnie. “He raised me and has always been a great father to me.”
“The ceremony was very short and sweet,” the bride shares. Aww!
“Ibrahim’s uncle officiated because he’s been very supportive of our love and relationship,” say Dunnie.
“We had amazing weather on our wedding day,” says the groom. “We were very blessed.”
“I don’t like the spotlight very much,” says Ibrahim on how it felt to be the groom on his big day. “I am used to being the behind the scenes but it was nice that everything pretty much went as planned.”
“We both decided to speak from our hearts on that day,” says Dunnie. “Looking into his eyes at the altar, it was like he was the only person there. My heart was over flowing with love for him.”
Make way for the newlyweds! (What a romantic ceremony setting…sigh…garden weddings get us every time.) Wedding planners Mr. Ronnie Dampier and Ms. Jalisa Greene teamed up with Dunnie and Ibrahim to make their dream wedding a reality. Now this is what we call a dream team! #Success
Dunnie and Ibrahim and their family looked like royalty on the big day. We love it!
“When I first saw her at the grocery store I knew I wanted her,” admits Ibrahim. “After we spoke for the first time, I then knew for certain.”
“She really is more than words and describe,” says Ibrahim. “She is everything to me!”
For their first dance as husband and wife the couple chose to sway to ‘Beneath Your Beautiful’ by LaBrinth and Emile Sande. (And, notice the gorgeous outfit change!)
African dancers entertained guests at the couple’s lavish reception party.
“We had a red velvet cake that was accented with bling and orchids with a beautiful bling H for the topper in honor of our new last name,” Dunnie explains. “It was made by Eb’s Delites.”
Let’s take another look at that lovely cake.
