STRENGTH IN LOVE
Temeca Manns first spotted Bomani Maddox's online dating profile, his big, beautiful
brown eyes stopping her in her online tracks.
Their first phone call lasted until 2 a.m., and
they haven't stopped talking since! Their
relationship stayed strong through many
tests, including Bomani's father passing
away and Temeca's breast cancer diagnosis.
On Mother's Day 2015, with both of their
mothers, and his sister and grandmother,
the couple went out for dinner. Temeca
noticed Bomani acting a little strange, but
didn't think much of it. After the meal,
Temeca turned to see Bomani with a ring
while her mother videotaped the proposal.

ONE BIG FAMILY
One of Temeca's favorite memories of the big
day was the sand ceremony. Their mothers
joined them for part of it, with all four of
them pouring sand at the same time into
the wedding picture frame.
"It was a beautiful, magical moment
because we showed how we were accepting
each other's families as our own," Temeca
says. "It was a sweet moment I will never
forget."
DELIGHTFUL DETAILS
Temeca wanted every detail to be different
and out of the box, including their ceremony,
where Temeca's mother walked her down

the aisle. Temeca says, "She raised me, so
who better than her?"
During the ceremony, Temeca and Bomani jumped the broom, an experience for
African-American weddings truly rooted in
symbolism for them both.
Lime green, black and ivory lent to a
bright color scheme. Every table name held
a symbolic meaning for the couple, and they
hoped it would generate conversation for
guests. Music was also carefully selected to
be out of the box, as the couple are huge
music lovers.
In lieu of favors, the newlyweds made
a donation in their guests' names to the
American Cancer Society.
