Wedding Date on Aug 5, 2017

From The Bride: It was February 27, 2016 when Marquis and Makayla shook hands at the Big XII Black Student Government Conference at the University of Kansas; where they both were workshop presenters. The two were only interested in networking and meeting new people to create opportunities for their brands. Neither of the two were actively searching for a new love interest. After the conference, they went their separate ways back to Kansas City, MO and Fort Worth, TX. It took a little pressuring and convincing from a couple of close friends that got Marquis to ultimately pull the trigger and reach out to Makayla on Facebook. Makayla had already planned to visit family in Texas for her 2016 spring break, and with Marquis living there, it gave her a bigger push to go. During that week, Marquis took Makayla on many dates, ultimately leading up to the start of their courtship April 1, 2016. It came with some fears but they consistently inquired of the Lord about if they were each others lifetime partners. Through their months of courting, they grew closer spiritually and emotionally. After courting for 8 months, Marquis received the blessing from Makayla's parents and officially asked for her hand on November 26, 2016. The rest is now history in the making. These are two ordinary people serving an EXTRAordinary God, using their natural gifts for a SUPERnatural purpose. Marquis and Makayla Harris joined together as one on August 5, 2017.
