Carissa
The anticipation was palpable as the day of Carissa and Pastor Theodore's engagement party had finally arrived. The air was filled with excitement and joy as friends and family gathered to celebrate the couple's love and future together.
Carissa stood in front of her vanity, her heart fluttering with a mix of nerves and happiness. Her hair was flawlessly styled, cascading down in luxurious 30-inch Peruvian bundles that framed her face perfectly. Her makeup was done to perfection, enhancing her natural beauty with a touch of elegance and glamour.
As she looked at her reflection, Carissa couldn't help but smile. Today was a special day, and she felt radiant and confident. Her daughters, Mia and Baby Camryn, were dressed to match her in beautiful ivory dresses with delicate lace details, looking like little princesses.
Carissa turned to Mia, who was twirling in her dress, her face alight with excitement. "You look absolutely stunning, Mia," Carissa said, her voice filled with pride.
"Thank you, Carissa," Mia replied with a shy smile. "I love my dress. I feel like a princess."
Carissa gently picked up Baby Camryn, who was also dressed in an adorable ivory dress. "And you, my sweet girl, look like a little angel," she cooed, kissing Camryn's forehead.
In another room, Theodore was getting ready with his brother, Thaddeus Jr., and his best friend, Jason . He adjusted his tie in the mirror, feeling a surge of happiness as he thought about the celebration ahead. "Today's the day, guys," Theodore said, his voice filled with excitement. "I can't wait to celebrate with everyone."
Thaddeus Jr. clapped him on the back. "You and Carissa are going to make this a night to remember."
As the final touches were made and everyone gathered their belongings, Carissa and Theodore exchanged a knowing glance, their hearts filled with love and anticipation. They knew that tonight would be a beautiful celebration of their journey together and the love they shared.
With their daughters by their side, Carissa and Theodore made their way to the venue, ready to embrace the joyous occasion and create memories that would last a lifetime.
The engagement party was in full swing, with lively music filling the air and guests dancing and laughing, creating an atmosphere of joy and celebration. The beautifully decorated venue was a testament to Carissa and Theodore's love and the support they had from friends and family.
As the evening progressed, it was time for a special moment—remarks from the parents of the bride and groom. The music softened, and the guests gathered closer, eager to hear the heartfelt words.
Bishop Thaddeus, Theodore's father, stood up first. He smiled warmly at the gathering, his eyes twinkling with pride. "Good evening, everyone. First of all, I want to thank you all for being here to celebrate this wonderful occasion with us. Seeing so many loved ones gathered together is truly a blessing."
He turned to Theodore and Carissa, his voice filled with emotion. "Theodore, my son, I have watched you grow into a man of integrity, compassion, and faith. You have found a partner who complements you in every way. Carissa, you are a beautiful soul, and we are so grateful to welcome you into our family. Together, you make a perfect team, and I know you will build a strong, loving, and faith-filled life together."
The guests applauded, touched by Bishop Thaddeus's heartfelt words. Next, First Lady stood up, her smile radiant. "Carissa, you have brought so much joy into our lives. Your kindness, strength, and love are evident in everything you do. Theodore, you are a wonderful son, and I am so proud of the man you have become. I am confident that your union will be filled with love, laughter, and countless blessings."
