Meet Christiana

I don't usually talk too much about the brides, but this is a different case. Christiana is an amazing girl that I am so privileged to know. She is a refuge from Sierra Leone that has been in Foster care. I signed up for the Youth Mentor Project earlier this year and Christiana and I were matched up. She is an incredible example of overcoming unideal situations and making the best of your circumstances. She is such a driven young women that I never felt she needed much of my support or help that I was so happy to be able to do her flowers for her special day. I am so glad I could see her married.

She wasn't picky at all (in fact she had never even been to a wedding before). All I could get her to tell me were her colors so I pretty much picked her flowers and just went with her colors.
