The two men met when they were 16 years old.

She said that they used to hang out and talk about the album. It's history.

After they had been together for a decade, Bammeke got down on one knee in Paris.

I was on top of a building. He lived in London and I saw him after turning around. And then he said yes.

They live in New York and are both employed by banks and other companies.

The two people said 'I do' in Athens, Greece.

She wasn't a bride that fantasized about her wedding day as she wasn't sure she wanted to be married for a long time.

She said that she was not interested because her parents were divorced. I could have been a partner for the rest of my life.

The two of them were both interested in marriage.

They decided to have a destination wedding in Athens, Greece, with just 60 of their friends and family.

The bride wanted the wedding to be simple and classy.

She didn't know what kind of dress she wanted.

She went into shopping for a wedding dress with no preconceived ideas.

She told Insider that she studied fashion, despite not having a dress in mind. If you tell me that there's going to be a wedding, I'll make sure I have the best dress.

She began shopping for a dress after the proposal.

She said she had no luck. I didn't have that moment when people were talking about it.

He decided to get a custom dress for the event.

When she scrolled through her saved photos, she was inspired.

She said that she had a high-low dress in her phone for a long time. I didn't think it was a wedding dress.

"I thought, 'No, that's me,' after trying all these classic dresses," he said. You see Daisy when you look at that. I was able to make it.

The dress was created by one of the best designers in the UK.

The unique silhouette of the gown made it feel like a good fit.

The dress had a skirt that flowed into a small train.

The base of the top was made of sheer fabric, and it was embellished with hundreds of adornments.

The illusion was easy to understand.

One of the most popular parts of the dress was the sheer neckline.

The lower part of the dress was embroidered with delicate stripes of fabric that gave it a modern edge.

It looked like it was Boateng's skin.

The bride said that she loved the sheer neckline because it was rare for a black woman to have it.

She said that the skin matching bodice was important for a black woman who has gone into these wedding dress shops and everything's beige. Band-aids are beige. They are beige if you get tights. Nothing ever comes close to matching.

She said that it was an invisible forgotten part of the world.

"To have a dress that was made for Black skin and make it look so beautiful and allow you to have that moment that white girls have had for a long time was really important."

The dress meant a lot to Boateng.Timi Oshin Photography

She said she was thankful that the dress designer came up with that.

The dress was worn with a shiny hair.

"We wanted to do something chic because the dress was so out there, but it had to have some kind of Daisy element," she stated. We chose to have crystal all over the head.

They had to put them on one by one.

Asymmetrical shoes and a floor-length veil were used.

She wore heels for her wedding. One shoe had a bow on the toes while the other did not.

She said she wanted to keep the quirky theme going because she is who she is.

She wore a veil that was hand beaded and matched her dress.

She didn't have time to try on her dress before her wedding.

She didn't have dress fittings.Timi Oshin Photography

She couldn't try on her dress before the wedding because it was designed for her.

She was planning a wedding in Greece and the designer was in England. I tried on the dress before the wedding. I don't know if it will fit. I had no idea how to put it on. It was just trying to be brave and hope for the best.

The dress fit perfectly.

"I was lucky," he said.

She said that the dress designer was a good one. It was perfect to my measurement.

The front of the dress had red lipgloss on it just 10 minutes before the wedding.

The dress was actually stained.Timi Oshin Photography

She said that everyone freaked out at her wedding. The dress had a blood looking stain 10 minutes before we were supposed to walk down the aisle.

The bridesmaids tried to use the internet. It turned pink when we painted it with white nailpolish. We were unable to get it off.

The perfect way to hide the stain was to pin the dress to make it look like there was a pleat in the front.

On the wedding day, the stain was not visible.

The bride wore an off-white tuxedo jacket.

He chose an ivory blazer because he wanted something that stood out from his groomsmen, according to his wife.

His shoes and bow tie were designed by Gucci.

Her mother went down the aisle.

She said her mother is sweet. My dad wasn't able to make it from West Africa. She did her job and did well.

Even though things didn't go well at the wedding, she kept a positive perspective because of her mom and godmother.

The bride said she stayed calm on the wedding day. My mother was supposed to be at the front. My favorite aunt was her sister. She was dead of carbon dioxide.

"I was like, 'I'm not letting any of these silly little first-world problems upset the day,'" he said. There is nothing big of a deal. We're alive and well.

When he saw her dress, he was emotional.

He started crying when he saw her in her wedding dress. It was adorable.

He loved his bride's dress as well.

He thought that I surpassed anything that he could have imagined, but he was still blown away. He thought it looked great and he kept saying it.

Their own vows were written by them.

She said that weddings are the only times you'd be around people who are just there for you.

They kicked off the celebrations in a fun way.

She said that she and her husband choreographed their own entrance dance that they preformed at the party. It was so enjoyable.

There was a huge firework display.

She said that they watched the fireworks and it was beautiful. The icing on the cake was it.

A bride should not get lost in what she thinks she should wear to her wedding.

She said to look at what your true style is rather than what you see outside. The inspiration is very distractive.

To find the perfect dress, you need to know what makes you happy and what your style is. You will get the dress. You can see it in a shop window or you can see it in a designer's showroom.

She said that you will be more specific on what makes you happy than the models on social media.

She said she likes the friendship she has with another person.

She said that they are best friends and support each other.

They have a good time together.

It's a lot of banter and jokes in the house because we've been friends since we were 16.

She said that they have fun doing everything they do.
