“When I held your hand at Bryant Park for the first time, I wanted nothing but to hold it forever”. That’s what was written in a note that Nana gave to Georgette after their first date at Bryant Park. The romance these two shared was palpable. You could feel it in every aspect of their day. You could also feel the love their family had for them and how they sought to honor their family on this beautiful day. It was an honor to be there for Nana and Georgette for their wedding in New Jersey! We had a beautiful day with the bride and groom and hope the day can be seen heard and relived through the photos and video below.
Nana was definitely not a public person, so this proposal came as a huge surprise to Georgette. He proposed at Georgette’s brother in-law’s father’s celebration of life on February 18th, 2017. A day she will never forget. The room was filled with family and friends. The master of ceremony made an announcement stating that Nana had something to say to Georgette’s brother in-law’s family. At first, Georgette thought Nana was going to share words of encouragement to the bereaved family but when the mic was handed over to him, she saw a video playing on the screen. She heard her name and was very confused. It felt like a dream. When she saw their pictures displayed on the screen she knew this was real and the next thing she remembered was Nana on his knees. Georgette started perspiring instantly, almost as soon as she realized that he was proposing.
