Melissa & David's wedding was truly an unforgettable celebration of love, commitment and culture! Melissa was joined by her Guyanese, Indian and Canadian family & friends; David was represented by his Haitian family & friends. Both families did a remarkable job welcoming their new family member. However, David's family also expressed a little sadness because he'll be leaving South Florida and moving to Canada to start his new life with Melissa. He is loved and will truly be missed!

Our favorite parts of the wedding day:

• Seeing David's beautiful smile as Melissa walked down the aisle.
• Heartfelt speeches and words of encouragement given by the families, especially David's nieces and nephews. "We're going to miss you Uncle David." Awww.
• Melissa wrote a beautiful letter to David (in Creole) and she read it to him during the reception. He was totally surprised and delighted! We were thankful his best man was standing by her side to translate. The letter was soooo beautiful and touching. 
• The celebration. From the first song "Zouk La Se Sel Medikaman Nou Ni" to the last song, the dance floor stayed pack 100+.

We wish David and Melissa a lifetime of happiness. May they continue to put Jehovah first in their lives. Congratulations you two! Smooches.
