Here We Are
“Neither of us ended up crying. Although Kwame did have tears in his eyes while we were saying our vows. I honestly could have cried at several different moments but I knew once I started I would not be able to stop. I also did want to ruin my makeup! Kwame told me that he wanted to show leadership at the altar and confidence in our union to all of our friends and family.”
