Destiny and Calvin, who met on Facebook, were married on February 3, 2019.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Her accessories included a pendant necklace, stud earrings, and veil trimmed in lace. Her large bouquet was composed of a variety of flowers in shades of red, orange, and yellow, accentuated with eucalyptus and other botanical elements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her three bridesmaids wore matching wine-colored strapless dresses with ruched bodices and sweetheart necklines. They carried smaller versions of the bride\u2019s bouquet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calvin got married in a gray suit with a white shirt,\nwine-colored tie, and gray Converse sneakers. His three groomsmen dressed to\nmatch him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officiant, who was a friend of the groom, told the couple that wedding vows are a promise of future love, not of present love, and that the greatest plan God has for their lives is the person standing next to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, guests highlighted their favorite Bible verse and\nsigned their name next to it for a keepsake for the newlyweds before sitting\ndown to a meal that included a spring-mix salad with raspberry vinaigrette,\nsauteed vegetables, mashed potatoes, sliced beef, and chicken stuffed with\nspinach, feta, and pine nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

During the speeches, the best man, the groom\u2019s brother\nshared stories of their childhood and told Calvin how proud he was of them. The\nmaid of honor expressed her gratitude for Destiny\u2019s friendship and talked about\nhow excited she was to see the couple\u2019s future together. The groom\u2019s father\nrewrote a psalm for the couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calvin and Destiny shared their first dance as man and wife to \u201cI\u2019m Amazed by You\u201d by Tim McGraw. Destiny and her father danced to \u201cTake It With Me\u201d by Tom Waits. Calvin and his mother danced to \u201cBeautiful Mess\u201d by Diamond Rio. Other wedding fun included a caricature artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The three-tier wedding cake was done in a quilted design with top and bottom white layers and a middle wine-colored layer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was decorated with flowers and topped with a silhouette ornament of the couple and their dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope the happy couple have a long and beautiful life together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
