“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>Tiara is the daughter of David (Anthem BC/BS) and Pamela Reese (Anthem BC/BS). Terrence is the son of Rochelle Curry and Wilber Barber.
“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>The wedding ceremony was performed outside and the reception followed in the grand ballroom. It was a hot summer evening; family and friends didn’t mind the heat because it was a beautiful setting for the excited young couple.
“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>Upon arrival, guests were greeted by hostesses with beautifully engraved heart shaped fans. The couple chose metallic silver, amethyst and plum as their wedding colors. They carried this theme throughout, and it was a striking combination.
“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>The musical prelude and solo were performed by Talisha Lee.
“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>The officiate was Rev. Anthony Jones of Shalom City of Peace Church. The traditional wedding included the lighting of the unity candle and jumping of the broom.
“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>The reception program followed in the masterfully decorated ballroom. It began with the introduction of the bridal party, the bride and groom, the couple’s first dance, the cutting of the cake, father /daughter dance, mother/son dance, toast to the bride and groom (and yes, her father cried), the blessing, dinner and then dancing to the tunes of DJ Stan Richardson III.
“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>In addition to the bride and groom’s parents, the Honor Party included Tiara’s Grandparents Ruthie Gibson and Winston and Bettye Reese, Tiara’s Aunt and Uncle Robin (Anthem BC/BS) and James Walker (SLAA) and Terrence’s Grandmother Lillie Curry. Members of the Wedding Party were Maid of Honor Marquita Roberson, Matron of Honor Darletta Stagge and Bridesmaids Dayonne Williams, Richelle Reese, Kayla Thomas, Erica Shaw, Kelli Nicholson, Jittaun Curry, Latoya Anthony, Best Man Michael Tillman Groomsmen Gary Anthony, Cliff Young, Brandon Barnes, Justin Gage (Tennessee Titans), Deon Devers, Taurean Rollins and Terry Wright.
“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>The wedding planners Charlotte Clay and Gabrielle Davis had everything on point during this top-notch affair.
“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>Tiara and Terrence met by chance in June 1999 at a mutual friend’s grandmother’s home. Tiara was with her uncle who introduced her to Terrence. Terrence was off to college to play football. They tried a long-distance relationship for a couple of years. Distance was a problem and education a priority for both; they eventually decided to be buddies.
“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>Tiara says she received an email from Terrence on January 16, 2010 asking her to go out on a date. She accepted, and the rest is history. Terrence proposed on June 17, 2010. Tiara and Terrence gave birth to a son, Terrence Jr. on January 8, 2011. Tiara believes Terrence was God-sent. She always prayed for a husband who adored her like her dad does her mom. Tiara says Terrence is a blessing to her, their son and her daughter Chloee Holland and their extended family and friends.
“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>I asked Tiara if she had any words of wisdom, and she wants everyone to know she believes “God always answers prayers.”
“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>Tiara and Terrence will live in St. Louis.
