Celebrate love with our newest couple Tiant and Ebony McCrary!

I was asked to video tape a wedding for my Co-Founders Tiant and Ebony
I was so tired after spending the week of in Las Vegas with my wife of 5 years.
I lost access to my video camera, and was ready to back out
But a close friend of ours came through for Tiant and I was back in the wedding!
I’ve never filmed a wedding before, but I did shoot the videos for my music group
I didnt know what to expect.
Thought I would not know anyone and be looking like a lame duck
I was happy to see a host of people from my childhood
Many who I had not seen in years!
Surprised any of them recognized me as they were mostly the age of my oldest brother Angelo.
The 1420 room is such a beautiful venue!
We used it for two of our shows and had great turn-outs
The spacious lounge invites you in with bronze-like hardwood floors
Enormous mirrors line the walls opposite the lounge bar
Where patrons stand ready to take your drink request
I imagined the Bride and Groom entering the main hall
Boasting tall white columns, white chairs with golden legs,
DJ spinning love songs, Cakes on both sides of the venue
Beautiful cakes just begging to be eaten!!
The minister tells me to wave at him if his voice is too low for the camera
But I know that he wont be paying attention to little me in the corner
I had to sneak next door to get some food to make up for my lack of breakfast
I spoke to Tiant’s nephew who was so mature for his age
But then began bragging about buying his own expensive clothes
I pause from the wedding story to share that I spoke with him about investing
A kid his age could invest $100-$200mth and retire before they turn 40!
Well by this time next month the couple will know that the camera shook a few times
As I accidentally kicked the tripod! (My first wedding video remember )
I recorded the guest pouring in
I got the bride and groom party coming in
Then the bride came
Glowing! Beautiful!
They exchanged vows and the REG and Erika began to sing
Their voices blending while singing as if they were at a concert in front of 1,000′s
The only way it should be done!
I’m still upset at REG for not dropping a CD, I actually recorded a verse on a song of his a few year back!
Then they exchanged rings before the all too famous…

KISSS

before dancing down the aisle!
I was caught off guard and had to adjust the camera to catch Tee’s fancy footwork
Ebony seemed to glide as the long white gown covered her feet
ANd as they left the room I took a sigh of relief
It was good
No major mistakes besides the minister pronouncing Tiant as “Ty-ant”

Then they ate and danced the day away!
Father and daughter, bride and groom, best man and maid of honor,
Q and Jason and Josten and all the others laughing and dancing the day away
Such a wonderful site
Such a diverse dance floor
The women always waiting to catch the bouquet wanting to one up the current wedding celebration
The men always avoid catching anything!
Single men not ready to commit
Married men not wanting the headaches of organizing another wedding
I sat the camera down and ate TWO pieces of cake
one from each cake in the room
I smiled as the Chocolate melted in my mouth
Thinking Tiant had done good for himself
I didn’t know him well in high school
Pops would not let us hang out if not at a school sport event
So I was isolated in so many words
I knew Tiant had a history, knew he had struggled to get to this point
I felt he had fought for every minute of this celebration
A lifetime of hardships traded for a lifetime of help with hardships
As a married man I know the importance of having a partner!
A loved one to overcome with
And I smiled for Tiant as I ate the cake greedily
I had missed the meal from recording people eating and dancing
I got a good feeling from Ebony
I reached to shake her hand but she made me hug her
We are family now
I’ve always been shy when first meeting others
A handshake makes me feel safe! lol!
But a hug makes me feel like someone actually cares
I see something great in Tiant
I’ve been helping him with everything I have to start a business
I’m honored to have them both as co-founders of Unite 4 Christ, Inc.
What a way to start a life!
What a way to began a charity!
They Danced and Became One!
