Louina and Adam initially caught each other’s eye on social media where the first pages of their love story were written. During conversations, they began to realize the potential depths of their connection as their commonalities continued to reveal themselves. It wasn’t long before communication over social media was no longer enough, and the desire to meet in person took hold. What began as a quick cup of coffee turned into a full lunch, as Louina fondly recalls, “We just couldn’t bring our conversation, our time together, to an end.”

For their proposal, Louina and Adam had long been planning a trip to France. When the opportunity to take the trip became possible, the city of love served as the perfect setting for Adam to take their relationship to the next level. Upon arriving at their penthouse suite, Adam suggested they prepare to explore the city for sightseeing and pictures. While waiting for Adam to finish getting ready, Louina stood on the balcony admiring the beauty of the landscape. It was there on the balcony that Adam approached her with a video containing a collection of their most memorable moments together. “It was all I could do to hold back my tears,” Louina recalls, and as the video came to an end, she found Adam on one knee. In Louina’s second language of creole, Adam asked for her hand in marriage.

Louina and Adam’s modern fairytale wedding took place at the gorgeous Spanish Monastery in Miami Beach, Florida. Louina was breathtaking in a Penelope gown with embellished lace sleeves, elegant open-back, and cathedral train - completing her modern Cinderella look. Adam, standing dapper in a sophisticated grey suit, awaited his bride-to-be at the altar. Surrounded by their loved ones, Adam and Louina were forever joined as husband and wife.

Best Memories: Our best memory from our wedding would have to be the foot-washing ceremony. Incorporating that helped us place Christ in our unity.

Advice for Engaged Couples: Take your time and communicate with your soon-to-be husband or wife. It will be difficult, but this day is for you both to celebrate together.
