Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson might be Married to Real Estate, but first and foremost they are married — and committed — to one another. While it might have taken a few meetings to make way for romance, they started dating in 2004 and wed at Woodland Park, New Jersey’s Westmount Country Club, on Sept. 11, 2010. Almost 13 years later, Egypt says, “We often wish we could relive that day over and over again as flies on the wall.”

For her big day, Egypt picked a dress by Demetrios that seemed to be designed for her specifically. The strapless, ruched, mermaid-style gown kept her cool in the warm September air during the outdoor ceremony and let her boogie down at the reception. A timeless silhouette, Egypt looks right at home standing next to her handsome soon-to-be husband, Mike.

To complement — and not overshadow — her gorgeous gown, Egypt chose simple, romantic curls to frame her face. Smoky eyes and a frosted lip enhanced her natural beauty. She completed the ensemble with satin Badgley Mischka shoes.

There’s no topping a classic black suit, especially on one of the most important days of your life, but love was the main attraction and Mike’s focus was on joining Egypt in matrimony. After they were pronounced husband and wife, he told Essence, “If you could name every word in the dictionary that means happy and joy, that’s what I was feeling.”
