This couple’s big day had been in the planning stages for 18 months, but very nearly got derailed by a change of venue just two days beforehand!
Luckily, the pair were able to move their wedding to a church nearby at short notice, and Jerrika says she had her dream wedding.
She made many of the key elements herself, including the bridesmaids’ bouquets, gifts for the guests, invitations and even the bridesmaids’ shoes, which she bought and painted a glittering gold.

And by the look of these photos, all of her hard work paid off.
