On Friday, June 21, 2024, Latese and Curtis celebrated their love with a breathtaking destination wedding at the stunning Secrets Akumal Resort & Spa in Riviera Maya, Mexico. With the Caribbean breeze in the air and the sun casting a golden glow, their union was nothing short of magical.
Latese was a vision of elegance in a mermaid-style wedding gown, complete with a chic off-the-shoulder drape on each side. Her dress radiated poise and glamour, as delicate white embellishments shimmered beautifully in the light. Curtis stood proudly by her side, looking dapper in a classic white suit, black bow tie, and matching pocket scarf. A personal touch of romance was added to his attire—the words "Mi Amor Latese Forever" were hand-stitched beneath the collar of his suit.
The theme of the day was clear—Black Love and Excellence—and it was felt in every moment, every word, and every heartfelt embrace.
A Ceremony Filled with Love & Legacy
Their wedding ceremony took place in an idyllic outdoor setting, overlooking a serene tropical pond—a backdrop that perfectly complemented their love story. As Latese made her way down the aisle, her hand in her father's, the wind gently carried her flowing hair, creating an ethereal moment of beauty.
Curtis, overwhelmed with love and gratitude, spoke to his bride:"Since the beginning, you've made me want to be more than myself. You've pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone, and you've held me accountable to be a man without excuses. For that, I'm forever grateful."
Latese, full of emotion, responded with words that touched every heart:"God allowed me to meet such an amazing man in you. You have been consistent since the day I met you."
She continued:"I am proud of the man that I met six years ago, I am proud of the man that stands before me today, and I am so proud of the man that I get to grow old with."
With their bridal party dressed in shades of copper and taupe, the rich, warm tones highlighted the elegance of their intimate gathering. The officiant’s final words sealed the union:"I am privileged to announce you, husband and wife. Curtis, please kiss your bride."
A Celebration to Remember
The reception was a lively, joy-filled affair, overflowing with dancing, laughter, and unforgettable family moments. The bridal parties entered with high energy—setting the perfect tone for a night of fun.
Throughout the evening, their siblings shared touching words about how much Latese and Curtis have impacted their lives, a testament to the love and support they pour into those around them.
The brother of the groom expressed his admiration for Latese, saying:
"This woman right here, I've never met nobody like."
The brother of the bride shared:
"I'm so very, very proud of you. You've always been a great role model and led by example. If I ever needed help, you were always there to pick me up every time I fell."
The maid of honor reflected on Latese’s journey, saying:
"She worked on her career, the kind of wife she wanted to become, and her relationship with God—and I honestly think that's why she was blessed with Curtis."
The energy in the room was electric, as guests danced the night away, celebrating the unbreakable bond of Mr. & Mrs. Mitchell.
