Native Detroiters Celeste Nicole Northern, 36, and Michael Jerome Taylor, 40, recently exchanged vows at their wedding ceremony, held on Saturday, August 13, at The Highlands in Detroit, with Rev. Kenneth J. Flowers of Greater New Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church serving as officiant.
Northern, who wore an Eva Lendel gown, is the daughter of Johnny Northern and Rhonda Pugh (deceased), owner of Celeste Stems, freelance event planner, and alumna of the University of Michigan.
Taylor, who wore a custom tux designed by Dandy Detroit, is the son of Michael Taylor (deceased) and Patricia Taylor, associate vice president, team marketing and business operations at the NBA and an alumnus of West Virginia State University.
The couple was wed on the anniversary of their engagement “high in the sky” to be close to their guardian angels, “So they’d have a front row seat,” the couple said. The couple will continue residing in New York City and plan for a honeymoon later in the year.
