Highlights

Lena & Blake

April 17, 2026

Lena got ready in the giant mirror at the Fountain of Youth's getting ready suite before heading out — the groom snuck a peek too, adjusting his sage green suit alongside her before the ceremony. They married outdoors at the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park under the Spanish moss-draped oaks, with guests lining the grass aisle as Lena was walked in. The groom's father stood with him afterward in traditional Nigerian dress — white agbada with coral beads — one of the standout moments of the afternoon. After the ceremony, Lena and Blake slipped away for portraits on the park's wooden bridge under the Fountain of Youth sign at dusk. The night wrapped up with their first dance on the outdoor patio, their little one in suspenders and blue sneakers joining them on the dance floor.
