The next thing Tymika knew, their photographer had knocked on the door to let them know it was time. Her heart was pounding at this point, and she looked at her mother, feeling like a child all over again as she went to give her the most significant, tight hug she had ever given her. She’ll never forget that moment; nothing was spoken, but she felt everything she had to say.
As the wedding party and Tymika made their way towards the entrance, she watched anxiously as the bridal party entered the aisle. She could hear the chuckles and awes as each couple walked down. Before she knew it, Tymika listened to her cue, and it was her turn. Walking down the aisle with her father, she felt proud to have reached this point. Tymika looked around the room and saw old and new faces, all there for Jeremy and her as they started their new journey together.
As Tymika neared Jeremy, all she could do was smile. His face looked childlike and reminded her of when they first met. They said their vows and Tymika could see the tears welling up in his eyes. Her throat became tight as she tried to push down the tears and repeated the “I do’s.” Then, just like that, they were announced husband and wife. Tymika had never been in a room full of people genuinely happy for them; it was emotional.
The reception speeches and special dances were completed after the bridal party and family had gone outdoors for photos. They finished the night dancing and made their way around the room until it was time to close the evening. Once everyone had left, Tymika and Jeremy sat at the venue, just the two of them, and reminisced about their day. They couldn’t believe they had planned a wedding from start to finish, and everything went according to plan. October 1st, 2022, was nothing short of fantastic for them, and they can’t wait to see what awaits them next.
