OUR STORY
Our story began in a way neither of us could have predicted. It was a simple day for Nickesha—taking her car in to get new tires—but little did she know, it would lead to a chance encounter with Alvin. As she arrived at Alvin’s job, he immediately stood out, not just because of his work ethic, but because of the genuine concern he showed for her well-being. His kindness and attention captured her heart in that instant, and what started as a brief exchange quickly turned into something more.









From that day forward, their connection grew stronger. Both passionate about travel and spending time with friends and family, they found joy in the little things—whether it was exploring new places or laughing together with loved ones. Alvin’s attentiveness, patience, and gentle nature complemented Nickesha’s thoughtfulness, strong sense of family, and her nurturing spirit as a mother. Each of them admired the qualities that made the other unique, and they knew early on that they were meant to build a life together.
The moment Alvin proposed was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by their closest friends and family at their holiday party, Alvin asked Nickesha to spend forever with him. It was a moment of pure joy and celebration, marking the beginning of their shared future.
As they prepare to unite their families and grow together, they are excited for what lies ahead, knowing that the love and support of both their families will only strengthen their bond. This is just the beginning of a beautiful journey, one where their love for each other—and for their loved ones—will continue to flourish.

As we embark on this beautiful journey together, we find that over the years we have gathered many cherished possessions. With this in mind, we have chosen to forgo a traditional gift registry. Instead, we invite our dear family and friends to contribute to the future we are building—whether through supporting our home improvement projects, helping us start a new venture, or even making our dream vacation a reality. If you’d like to leave a gift, cards will be welcome at the venue on the day of the wedding. However you choose to bless us, your generosity will be deeply appreciated.
Above all, the greatest gift is having you with us on our special day. We are eager to create lasting memories and celebrate this momentous occasion surrounded by those we hold dear. We look forward to celebrating with you and making unforgettable memories with all of our loved ones.
Thank you, kindly.
