To Have & To Hold From This Day Forward: Erykah + Ricky

"To Have & To Hold From This Day Forward" will feature REAL WEDDINGS of couples on their special day!  I found this couple as I was perusing through Essence.com for the perfect couple who I also felt, you my readers, would love.

Erykah & Ricky met in a chance meeting.  However, their love was meant to be.  Erykah, a native of Canada, was visiting the U.S. on a 6-week internship.  She met Ricky, her future husband through a co-worker who had already claimed Ricky as her own future husband.  Ricky thought differently.  He was interested in Erykah and after 3 long years of long distance dating, these two love birds made it official.

Their wedding was extremely elegant.  It was the epitome of glamour.  The theme of this gorgeous wedding was Harlem Renaissance.  The vision was wonderfully planned out and no detail was left undiscovered.

Congratulations to the beautiful couple and I pray that they will have a long and loving marriage.

Enjoy!

I fell in love with this Pronovias beauty!  I'm still in awe!
