Our Wedding

January of 2018, while directing a show, one of Desirae’s actresses invited her to church. She said yes, not realizing that simple invitation would change everything.That Sunday, she met Tina, who attended the same church and was friends with the actress. From the moment they were introduced, something just felt different. Desirae was instantly drawn in, and T was too.Over the next few weeks, T started coming to rehearsals and gradually sneaking their way into the production of the show. Desirae allowed it because she liked having them around.They shared glances and smiles, started having short conversations, then next thing you know, the conversationsturned into something deeper.By closing night, they weren’t just wrapping up a show, they were stepping into the beginning of their love story.What began as an immediate spark grew into a love built on joy, support, and choosing each other every single day.
