Myisha and Armon’s journey began in San Francisco. Myisha’s company was hired to plan the launch event for Armon’s company, Impact flow, an event ticketing platform. They went to one of Armon’s favorite restaurants for Taco Tuesday, and from that moment on, the two have become inseparable. Armon and Myisha love design and architecture. They incorporated these aspects into their wedding celebration, which took place at an HBO movie set and $190 million cathedral in Oakland, California.

What makes your love special? We are not in love with the idea of one another. We understand that on this second plane of emotion and feeling, love is tremendously beautiful, but also very delicate. It is life-changing, and we honor that daily through our actions for one another.

The Proposal “Can you help?” That's how Armon Moore started his email, to the planning team at Aire de Fiesta, six months before his surprise proposal to Myisha Chapple last January, at the La Guarida rooftop restaurant in Havana, Cuba, which has an amazing view. Myisha had made a dinner reservation to celebrate Armon’s birthday. But little did she know, this would be one of the most magical moments of their life. Once they got to the restaurant, the staff led them directly to the terrace. Armon had rented out the entire restaurant and had a 30- piece orchestra waiting on the rooftop. They played a rendition of “All of the Lights” by Kanye West, before he got down on one knee.

The Wedding {Her Story} It was to date one of the most fulfilling experiences I’ve had with another person! I was nervous, but also so calm. It was just “us” in the church. And all I could see were his eyes while I was walking down the aisle. Seeing him for the first time that day in my dress and him in his tux was beyond what I had dreamed it would feel like.

The Wedding {His Story} It was the happiest day of my life! I’m not sure if I will ever experience that type of joy again. We celebrated our love for one another that day, and I enjoyed every moment.

Memorable Moment Myisha’s favorite moment was when the couple presented their gifts to each other in front of all the guests. Armon gifted Myisha with a ballet performance, featuring 20 ballerinas dancing to “Wolves” by Kanye West. During the performance, the groom performed his own written verse to his new bride. Myisha gifted Armon with a custom life-size painting of himself called “My King” by Maxwell, one of his favorite artists.

Armon’s favorite moment was designing the family logo! The couple incorporated the logo on every piece of print collateral and highlighted the meaning in their custom magazine, which were handed out to their guests.

Wedding Song Jesse Boykin III recorded a personal interlude to the bride and groom, congratulating them on their nuptials. They danced to his song “Great Idea.” The lyrics perfectly describe how they think about and treat one another.

Favorite Wedding Detail All of it! Honestly, everything came together so perfectly that day! All of our guests raved about how much detail we put in to planning each part of the day. They told us, without a doubt, this was the best wedding they had been to!

What are you most looking forward to as a married couple? Building a legacy together and, most importantly, enjoying the journey.
