The standing room only concert was held at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church in Suffolk VA. The Sunday evening began with Hollywood-style red carpet interviews by Rejoice 100.9′s Brotha Ray, co-host of the radio show “On Stage With Earl Bynum”. Performers included Patrick Riddick & D’vyne Worship, Coko Clemons (formerly of SWV), TaMyya J, 7 Sons of Soul, Michael M. Smith and many others. Here are a few moments from the evening.

The ceremony was very intimate, with great seafood at the reception and a fairytale horse & carriage getaway. About that seafood… The shrimp were HUGE and (thanks to Amory’s Seafood Catering) everything was delicious!
