Sonya & Keith: A Multicultural Celebration in Martinsville, NJ

From their Russian Orthodox ceremony to the Chinese tea ceremony, Sonya and Keith's nuptials were filled with personal touches and bold, springtime colors. The Bride Sonya Swahla, 30 The Groom Keith Slyman, 36 The Date May 25 When Sonya was having technical trouble at work, Keith was the man with the answer. So it was then that Sonya and Keith started to click: “He would be at the office fixing my computer!” Sonya explains. After dating for 10 months, the couple took a stroll through Washington Square Park after enjoying a nice dinner in New York City. During their walk, Keith said he had to stop to tie his shoe, but Sonya was soon suspicious, and for good reason. “As he knelt, I could see that his shoes had no laces,” Sonya says. Keith, also realizing his miscue, simply pulled the ring box out of his pocket, and Sonya excitedly accepted his proposal.
