Some love stories are written across the years, and Adina and Rashad’s is one of those. From meeting in high school to reconnecting in their twenties, their journey came full circle in a enchanting wedding celebration at the Utopia Gardens in Nassau, New Providence. Coordinated by D’Vanya Hinsey of Aced Affairs, this wedding was a seamless fusion of elegance and romance.
Wedding Prep At the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar
The day began at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable wedding morning moments. Adina was every bit the modern bride with classic elegance. Her bridal glam was brought to life by the incredible Raven Simone and Aseel. She slipped into her Lazaro gown, Loeffler Randall shoes, and Hermione Harbutt hairpiece—and it was pure magic. Her bridesmaids stood by her side in stylish from Show Me Your Mumu. Meanwhile, Rashad and his groomsmen were in full “gentlemen’s lounge” mode, playing dominoes and sharing stories as they got ready. Rashad looked effortlessly dapper in his Ralph Lauren Purple Label tux, finished off with sleek Christian Louboutin shoes. His groomsmen matched his energy, sharp in tailored suits from Button Tuxedo.

The setting was intimate, romantic, and surrounded by nature’s beauty—truly a dream for any couple who wants a luxurious wedding with the heart of home.

Following the ceremony, guests made their way to the reception where island luxury met joyful celebration. The newlyweds kicked off the evening with a sweet and playful first bite of their wedding cake—an elegant confection created by The Boutique Cake that was almost too beautiful to cut. The energy soared as Trevents filled the air with music that had everyone on their feet. From heartfelt toasts to dance floor magic, the night was everything a celebration of love should be—joyful, elegant, and full of unforgettable moments.
