Trenaé & Mark’s Colorful, Destination-Inspired Wedding
La-Nikqua Trenaé (“Trenaé”) and Mark’s love story is about as sweet and romantic as it gets. The two met when they were six years old in Pontiac, Michigan. Mark lived there, and Trenaé would visit her grandparents there every summer. With neighboring grandparents, they spent their ages 7-14 playing kickball, riding bikes and having fun together. They even had a “wedding” in her grandparents’ front yard one summer, complete with a Ring Pop proposal. They lost touch as they grew up, but nearly two decades later, their paths crossed again and they picked up right where they had left off.
While first dreaming of a destination wedding, the couple decided an Atlanta celebration would be more convenient for older guests. To still achieve a destination ambiance, the couple opted for an upbeat wedding with vibrant colors and a tropical feel. When their wedding planner, The Sharp Standard, pitched a color palette that included chartreuse and yellow as the primary colors, they loved the uniqueness and were on board.
After Mark’s father passed away in the spring of 2023, the couple decided to make their wedding day even more of a celebration in honor of him. From the graceful “flowerina,” sensational solo saxophonist, stellar live band and a cigar rolling station, their guests created memories that will last a lifetime. The whole day was high energy, and the love and happiness felt by all was palpable. As an unexpected surprise, millions caught a glimpse of their special day when Trenaé’s father’s wedding toast went viral, acquiring more than 12 million views on social media.
From the bold color palette to the cocktail hour jazz concert, Dr. and Mr. Jones’ wedding was truly an experience to behold.
