Hands down the best and made sure we didn't stress about anything! We expressed our vision and they made sure it came to life! Our day was smooth and went as planned. Wouldn't change a thing.
Daniel & Shemekia Meritt

Wedding Date 8-18-12

Ceremony Location: First Congregational Church of Detroit 

Reception Location: San Marino Club, Troy MI


How did you and your husband meet? We both attended college at Michigan State University. We met at a very popular bar night at a local bar named Maggie's. We shared mutual friends which help make the connection at the Bar.

Proposal Story: Daniel proposed at one of our favorite restaurants J. Alexander's in front of a host of our friends. It was a complete surprise as I thought it was just a few couples hanging out for dinner.

Did your wedding go as excepted?
Yes. It was the perfect day.

What was the best thing about your wedding/ your favorite memory? 
Daniel's favorite memory was during the ceremony seeing the wedding party enter the church, followed by seeing (his future wife) come in that really made me appreciate the moment.
Shemekia's favorite memory was seeing it all
Come together and having a great time dancing with all our family and friends. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and still talk about how great our wedding was and how much fun they had! It was a nice vibe.

What advice can you share with future couples.
Relax and enjoy the moment. Take it all in and enjoy every second of the day because it goes by so fast.
