The couple asked Lupita Tirado and Joe Ganem of Lupita Tirado Weddings to help plan their nuptials.
The family-style dinner quickly turned into the weekends biggest dance party, says Asiah.
My wedding-day gown embodied my eclectic yet modern style, she says.
Asiah also removed her extensions and cut her hair in a low bowl cut.
For his ceremony outfit, Gerald opted for a Prada suit.
Asiah considered it the emotional pinnacle of the evening.
It was incredibly heartwarming and meaningful to witness and be a part of, she says.
For the reception, Asiah removed the tulle overskirt from her gown, revealing a miniskirt underneath.
I also removed the straps so that I couldreallywiggle and hug everyone, Asiah notes.
Streamers, confetti, and fake money fell from the ceiling as night turned into morning.
