Charles and Tanika's Wedding in Pikesville, Maryland

The story of our wedding

On a sunny and windy April 13, 2024, at 3:00 pm, Tanika and Charles Curtis celebrated their union at the picturesque Grey Rock Mansion in Pikesville, MD.

The ceremony was a stunning affair with eight groomsmen and Best Man, all Omega Psi Phi fraternity brothers, and our son, all donning two-tone grey tuxedos complemented by dusty rose, white, and grey pocket squares. Six Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority sisters as bridesmaids alongside three matrons and maid of honor, daughter, graced the event in elegant dusty rose chiffon dresses.

With 168 guests dressed in all black, the atmosphere was one of sophistication and anticipation. Tanika’s four adult sons escorted Tanika down the aisle, where she joined Charles. They recited their own vows with enthusiasm, reflecting their deep connection and joy. The ceremony included holy communion and the blending of pink and purple sand, symbolizing their united lives. The traditional broom jump sealed their marriage, and the guests celebrated the processional with whistles.
