Adrienne and Khalil are incredibly accomplished. Last week, she graduated from Auburn University with her PhD, just as he did a year ago. They are both talented athletes. They are leaders.  By every measure of the term, they are a power couple. But, anyone who knows them will tell you that it’s their humble spirit and deep rooted faith that make them special… it’s the way they ask about what’s going on in your life and offer prayers first, before discussing themselves, that makes them a blessing. It’s the way they exemplify God’s love that is inspiring.

Adrienne and Khalil got married in August of this year in Louisville, over looking the river she grew up near. They wanted an event that was intentional, and one that expressed their gratitude for their guests’ presence, love, and support.

Adrienne and Khalil chose to do a first look before their ceremony. They wanted an opportunity to spend time together, privately, before joining their family and friends. Watching them embrace one another was incredibly moving.

When asked what advice she would offer to other brides, Adrienne says, “remember the wedding is just a day but marriage is for life. Take time during your engagement period to continue to grow in love with your soon to be spouse and prepare for marriage itself.  And if you begin to stress, ask yourself, who am I trying to please?  Seek The Lord for guidance and direction and do not neglect your first love (your relationship with Jesus Christ).

I am so grateful for the steadfast support of my husband in all circumstances. He has truly sharpened me and pushed me closer to Christ each day.”
