We’re getting married

A Memorial Day Weekend Gathering | West Palm Beach, FL

Swiper No More Swiping

Dating Apps. Upper Manhattan. 2023. Exhausted by her dating
experience, She opened Bumble again—this time to delete
it! Meanwhile, across the river in Jersey City, a young
photographer was searching for his lifelong love, limiting his
search to a 2-mile radius. By pure divine intervention, his job sat
0.4 miles from her once-a-week gym class.

When her profile appeared, he seized the moment, sending his
only compliment of the week. Responding to her playful
prompt, “Guess my flag?”, he took a shot: Bermuda. Though his
guess was off, his charm hit the mark—and it got him the date.

How We Met

Juilliard + Family Matters

Since February 2023, Fednike the Maid of Honor and Brandon
had been covertly planning a surprise proposal for Micailah,
who could honestly moonlight as a CIA agent with her
detective-level intuition. Luckily, a childhood booklet about
dream engagements gave them an edge.

The MOH flew into
NYC pretending to have a “Juilliard Audition” and dragged the
unsuspecting Bride out for a “calming” girls’ day. After a battle over sweatpants vs. makeup and some shoe casualties,they
arrived at a rooftop, decked out in candles and hearts. Family
and friends popped out, and boom—mission proposal
accomplished!

 FAQs

  • Yes, the entire wedding will be vegan. Our goal is to celebrate while leaving the smallest environmental footprint possible. Because we believe that mother earth is bigger than our wedding weekend. We’re excited to showcase the amazing flavors our planet naturally provides. And we promise that taste will not be sacrificed!

  • We kindly ask that all RSVPs are submitted by MARCH 10TH, 2026. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to accommodate in anyone who doesn’t RSVP the deadline, as we need to finalize our guest count arrangements with the venue and vendors. We hope you can join us and look forward to celebrating together.

  • We want this weekend to be all about being present. Please keep your phones away during the ceremony, and other events so that you can enjoy the moment with us.

    We also ask that you don’t post anything about the wedding until we’ve shared first. We’re a little private about our love, and we’d like to keep this time intimate.

    Thank you for helping us make these memories truly special.

  • We’ve tried our best to keep everything within a 5 -10 mile radius. While we’d love to spend every second with you, there is so much of this beautiful island to see. Ubers & Lyfts are available or if you really want to go out, we recommend the TURO app for the cheapest but high quality car rentals.

  • We love your little ones, to keep our wedding day as seamless as possible we’ve decided to make this an Adults-Only Event. We hope this allows everyone, (including parents) to relax and fully enjoy the celebration. Thank you for understanding and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.

  • There are several exclusive events happening this weekend and each is invite only. If you see the option to RSVP or decline, you’ve been invited! Please note that all RSPVS must be submitted by MARCH 10TH, 2026! After this date, we wont be able to accommodate additional guests due to the need to finalize vendor fees and headcount.

  • We’re so excited to celebrate our special day with our nearest and dearest! Due to our space, limitations and desire to keep our day intimate, only those named on the invitation will be permitted. We appreciate your understanding. I can’t wait to see you there!
