This week's WeddingCrushWednesday couple goes to Mr. & Mrs. Ross. I've known Dakida for almost 9 years, as we are both members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and attended Norfolk State University for our undergraduate degrees.

This week’s WeddingCrushWedneday is a couple I adore. They both have awesome personalities and most importantly to me have God in the center of their marriage.

This week's WeddingCrushWednesday couple goes to Mr. & Mrs. Williams. I met Corey and Taneilya a few years ago when they both started playing on my co-ed flag football team.

This week's WeddingCrushWednesday couple goes to Mr. & Mrs. Foster. I have known Jenaya for over a decade. She has always been such a beautiful person inside and out. I had the pleasure of knowing her mother very well, as she was a teacher at my high school. I considered her mother as my adopted "Auntie" and it is truly evident where Jenaya gets her beautiful spirit from. Not too long ago my aunt suggested that I interview her nurse for my #WCW feature and I was surprised and

This week's #WCW couple is one very special to me. I present my parents, Robert and Sherry Osborne, as this week's Wedding Crush Wednesday couple. My parents just recently celebrated 29 years of marriage and from them I have learned so many valuable lessons to carry into my marriage.

This week's #WCW is amazing! Mr. & Mrs. Wilson seem like a couple you want to meet and befriend.

The two have talked about trying to start having children sometime next year, but for no

This week's #WCW has a different story than my previous couples. Patrice and Dexter, close friends of mine, went against the 'traditional wedding' ceremony and had a civil ceremony.

The couple resides in Maryland, where they purchased their first home last year. They have a beautiful blended family including their four children and newest memb
