Elphy & Jovaughn

Welcome to our wedding website! We’re so excited to share this special season of our lives with you. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about our traditional wedding — from details on the ceremony, reception, and attire. We are deeply grateful to have you walk alongside us as we celebrate love, family, and culture. Your presence means the world to us.

What This Wedding is About

Our traditional wedding is more than a celebration of our love — it’s about the joining of two families, two cultures, and two communities. Elphy’s Congolese roots and Jovaughn’s Jamaican heritage come together in this special day, honoring the richness of who we are and where we come from.

In Congolese tradition, a wedding is not just about the couple, but about family, community, and blessing. It is a time of music, food, laughter, and generosity, where loved ones surround the couple with prayer and support. A meaningful part of this tradition is the giving of monetary gifts, which symbolize blessing the couple’s future and helping them start their new chapter together.

Most of all, this day is about gratitude — to God, who has been the foundation of our journey, and to our parents, families, and friends, who continue to surround us with love. We cannot wait to celebrate with you in a day filled with unity, culture, and joy.

Event details

Please arrive on time to fully experience the richness of the ceremony. A reception will follow with food, dancing, and celebration.

RSVP

We’d love to know if you’ll be joining us! Please RSVP by Saturday, Sept 27th. Your response helps us prepare for your comfort and enjoyment on our big day.

Thank you for your love, encouragement, and prayers. Each of you has played a special role in our lives, and we cannot wait to celebrate this joyous occasion together. May this wedding not only mark the beginning of our new chapter but also be a reflection of the love and unity of our community.

Attire

Our wedding will be a traditional celebration, so guests are encouraged to wear cultural attire that is colorful, elegant, and celebratory. Whether you choose to wear African prints, formal wear, or something that represents your heritage, we welcome you to join us in expressing the beauty of our cultures.

Gifts & Blessings

Your love, prayers, and presence at our wedding mean the world to us — truly the greatest gift we could receive.

In Congolese tradition, monetary gifts are a way of blessing the couple’s future. If you wish to honor us in this way, a gift box will be available at the celebration for your convenience. Please know that every gesture, big or small, is received with gratitude.

Most of all, we are thankful for your love, support, and the joy you bring to our lives.
