The couple shared an intimate kiss as man and wife beneath the trees.
Lekia looks absolutely breathtaking in a gorgeous rouched mermaid gown with a sweetheart neckline and cathedral length veil.
“My mother walked me down the aisle and when I was walking up I saw him crying and that really, really, really touched me,” shares the beaming bride.
The groom’s aunt read a prayer during their ceremony. She said: “let her bosom satisfy you at all times.” (Proverbs 5:19)
“Our relationship was long distance for almost 10 months,” the bride recalls. “Through all the phone conversations we were able to really strengthen the getting to know each other part.”
“With him I can completely be myself,” says Lekia. “Plus he’s really funny, and being funny and making me laugh is like the key to me.”
Since I got married at a resort at their beach gazebo, anyone could come and stand around. There were a lot of topless women there. A lot of people stopping and standing by didn’t have a top on at all. It was pretty funny.”
The flower girls looked beyond adorable in their tulle skirts and pretty flower belts.
Lekia made sure that all the little details complimented her stunning wedding gown.

Lekia’s cathedral veil takes flight as the two share an unforgettable moment on the beach.
After finally making it official at the altar, Lekia and Maurice take in the warmth of the moment beneath the gazebo.
The bride and groom wanted were thrilled that all of their closest friends and family showed up to make their destination wedding dreams come true.
On the Friday before the wedding Maurice took the Karaoke stage and ruled the evening. “He became a celebrity at the resort.” Lekia recalls. “We kept on getting invites from strangers to hang out.”
“It felt like everything that should be was finally coming together for us,” says Lekia.
“People still call us talking about the wedding,” Lekia says. “They all say it was the best wedding they ever went to.”

The lovebirds took this keepsake photo to help remember that magic of their special day. (What a sweet idea!)
Lekia and Maurice thank their photographers for really capturing the moment: “They were the best,” raves Lekia. ”They stayed with us the entire day. It was so great.”
It’s clear Lekia and Maurice are so in love that when they’re together it’s almost as if no one else is around.
The couple had to skip their honeymoon because Lekia had just started a new job, so they’re planning to escape to Europe together later in the year.
