Our Story
Clarese and Jawara first crossed paths at a professional happy hour in 2011. Although their interaction was brief, they were both left with a lasting impression.
Over the years their friendship grew through insightful conversations and shared interests. It wasn't long before a genuine love blossomed.
Clarese and Jawara began dating after four years of friendship and shared their mutual love of travel, food, and family. Their excursions included romantic getaways in Jamaica and family vacations in Cabo. They also enjoyed home cooked meals in Mississippi and birthday celebrations in Kentucky. Through every experience shared, their connection deepened.
Despite the chaos going on throughout the world, one evening Jawara looked around and realized quarantine with Clarese was all that he would ever need. He donned his most crisp t-shirt, vest, and tie and bent the knee. The rest is black history!
We can't wait to share our wedding day with you!
