Our Wedding

We met at Bowie State University, at a time when we were just beginning to figure out life and love. We were young, but something about our connection was undeniable. What started as a friendship on campus quickly grew into a love that has carried us through so many seasons of life. Over the years, we’ve laughed, cried, grown, and built a bond that's unshakable. We are truly each other’s person, a perfect match who rides for one another no matter what. Through every challenge and every victory, we’ve stood side by side, always choosing each other. Now, we can’t wait to make it official and celebrate with the people who mean the most to us. On October 2, 2026, at the beautiful Liriodendron Mansion in Bel Air, Maryland, we’ll finally say “I do” and begin the next chapter of our forever as The Lievers. #LeaveItToTheLievers | 10.2.2026
