Marquel and Justin got married at The Big Red Church and celebrated at The Grain Exchange.
These two have been planning their wedding for a year and a half. The wait was worth it! Though their day was a little chilly, it perfect. We met Marquel and Justin in their respective rooms at the Hilton. The both were relaxed and hung out with their wedding parties before the ceremony. Marquel and Justin didn’t see each other before the ceremony so their first reveal was walking down the aisle, which was Justin’s favorite part of the day. Marquels was the vows, as they both wrote their own unique, tear-jerking vows.
Who plans for a 35 degree day in May? No one. Even though it was cold, very windy and wet, Marquel and Justin didn’t stop smiling. Their wedding party were super awesome in the elements too.
Marquel and Justin’s advice for future brides and grooms is:
“Don’t let the stress of the day consume you, remember the real reason for all of the planning and you will be fine!”
