Traditionally Married in Douala, Cameroun

Special thank you to Ultime Photography Events for capturing these amazing moments 

In February 2023, my husband and I along with a few closest friend traveled from  the DMV to Douala, Cameroon. This was my first time traveling to the continent of Africa and I just so happened to be marrying the love of my life. After 12+ hours of flying, we landed at Douala International. Airport. We stayed in Cameroon for about 10 days and it happened to be one of the most magical trips I've ever taken. I was so honored to have met my husbands family, eat delicious food and explore his country.  Here are a few pictures from our wedding day. 

The morning of the wedding, my husband presented me with this beautiful Emerald ring from James Allen. 

I love this ring so much. Not only does this ring symbolize his love. especially being presented in his home country, but Emerald is also the focal color for our American wedding in 2024. 

I made custom goodie bags for our American friends who traveled with us on this journey.

I filled the bags with Emergen-C, Wet Ones (hand wipes), Purrell Sanitizer Singles, Mouthwash from Go Mouthwash, Shout wipe & Go, Liquid IV Hydration Multipliers and a keep change in the shape of Cameroon with the Cameroon flag.
