Intimate family weddings are one of the most positive things to come out of the pandemic! Ceisha and Derek’s Race and Religious wedding has all of the romantic, sweet moments that wedding dreams are made of including an emotional ceremony and gorgeous details. When the Covid pandemic hit, Ceisha and Derek had to rework their wedding plans to include only immediate family in a candlelit sit down dinner at this beautiful New Orleans venue. Antigua Floral and Lovegood Rentals decked Race and Religious out! Everything was so beautiful. These two fell in love quick after a hilarious first date. After a short courtship, they were ready to make it official…even though Ceisha never imagined she would get engaged this quick before. She used to laugh at people who got married after knowing each other for a short period of time. That was before Derek! We’re so glad they found each other and we were there to capture all of the special moments. Cheers to a lifetime of happiness!
