LOS ANGELES - A Los Angeles couple is now a viral sensation after spending only $500 on their wedding day. Joel and Kiara Brokenbrough met back in 2016 in Vegas and kept in touch on social media.
The two reconnected in 2018, and began dating shortly afterwards. The couple said they both connected over their spirituality, and were engaged for one month before getting married on February 12, 2022. "It was so refreshing being at that wedding, seeing her and seeing how much we thought of us, how much we wanted this to happen so for it to happen was a dream come true," said Joel.
Their original plan was to have a courthouse wedding because they knew they did not have much time to plan, but Kiara wanted something different. "I was like we should do an elopement with family and then I thought of that place [Angeles Crest Highway] and then I said let me see if it can happen and did my research and it could," said Kiara.A SoCal couple planned a wedding on a $500 budget and the bride saying yes to a $47 dress.
Kiara had driven through the Angeles Crest Highway area years prior heading to a concert with friends and remembered it as a place she wanted to get married.
