Beardandharbin.ourwedding.com is our website that explains how we met and our engagement 2 years ago…we met online by accident!

 

Our colors were plum and charcoal grey. We got engaged on Thanksgiving 2012 and once we finally decided on a venue a year later, the only dates available were November 22^nd and December 22^nd. As God would have it, we picked November 22^nd, which we later realized was the same date we got engaged! I had 1 maid of honor/best man and 2 bridesmaids/2 groomsmen. We called our wedding The Ebony Gatsby because it was in a 1920’s tudor mansion. We wanted it to be rustic, elegant and chic with a home-y feel. The venue met all our needed.

 

For my hair, I had Senegalese twist done long and pinned up. I knew I wanted to wear a natural style because that’s me! I wanted something different. I’ve been natural for three years and haven’t looked back to the creamy crack since! I received so many compliments on my hair and mermaid couture dress from Jasmine’s Galleria in Lombard, IL.

 

We got ready at Le Meridian Hotel in Oak Brook, IL.
