After careful consideration, we have decided to have an intimate ceremony with immediate family, local family, and friends. ** A formal reception will be planned in the future which will be a larger guest list. Details of the formal reception will be available on our wedding website closer to that time. We Love you all.

Our Wedding

It all started in the middle of June 2021 when two people decided to swipe right. A couple of Facetimes later, they planned their first date. Hodari asked Robin what her favorite food was, and she replied "Thai food". Intrigued by her response, Hodari replied "I've never eaten Thai, but I'll try something new".When the evening of their date finally came, Robin received a text from Hodari that read,"Are we still on for this evening?" She replied, "Yes, I'm leaving work". Robin was inching along I-285, thanks to Atlanta traffic. As her eyes filled with fury, stomach growling, and heart beating ferociously, she realized she would be running late. After some time, Robin finally made it to dinner. She walked in and glanced across the restaurant. She saw him; a beautiful man with big brown eyes. She proceeded to the table and sat with Hodari. In later conversation, it was discovered that they lived only one mile from each other.Through a combined joy for food and intellectual conversation, true love emerged between the pair. After many experiences and time spent, the couple knew they were headed to the next level of commitment. Fast forward to October 31, 2024, the couple closed on their first home. To Robin's surprise, she walked into the new home and turned the corner to find Hodari on one knee.He professed his love for her and popped the question. She replied "Yes" and proceeded to 'ugly cry'. They are living happily ever after and greatly anticipating their wedding day and lives together. The Tale of Jacobs-El is just beginning.
