A Beautiful Occasion

I remember sitting next to my friend Jamaal at a basketball game our sophomore year at Xavier as he pointed to a girl across the gym and explained that she was the one from his class that he had been telling me about the past couple of weeks. This past weekend, my parents, Kyllan and I were all in Montego Bay, Jamaica attending the wedding of Jamaal and Maya (the girl from the basketball game). I take full credit for event, seeing as back at Xavier I took it upon myself to harass him until he called her. Having watched their relationship develop during those years in undergrad, it was surreal standing next to them as they exchanged vows. It was an emotional ceremony with few dry eyes and the reception lasted long into the night. It was amazing just being part of their day and great seeing so many old friends. Hopefully I will get some photos up by the middle of the week.

EDIT: Apparently Kyllan and I took over 600 photos over the weekend. Looks like there will be a roll out of photos  through out the week.

  1. A beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple! I have been hearing for a long time from William about how Maya looks at Jamaal and how wonderful they are together and it is very true. I was glad to witness their special occasion. I also appreciate them giving William and I an excuse to have a “second honeymoon” on a tropical island less than 8 weeks after our wedding 🙂
    p.s. I would just like to say that the humidity got the best of me (as usual) in Jamaica, which is why my hair looks a hot mess in the pictures!!
