Some love stories are written. Others are lived.

Brown Sugar screenwriter Michael Elliott has spent years telling unforgettable Black love stories on screen. Now, he's celebrating one of his own. After reconnecting with Adia May 12 years later, the couple is officially married. A true testament to healing, faith, and the belief that what's meant for you will always find its way back.

The couple exchanged vows at Cielo Farms in Malibu in a ceremony officiated by Pastor Touré Roberts, with performances by Common and Stevie Wonder, a heartfelt original poem by J. Ivy, and music by DJ Tendaji. It was a celebration as unforgettable as the love story that brought them there.

An excerpt from their love story curated by, @trulybrenda_

There’s always the one that got away. For Hollywood screenwriter Michael Elliot, known for classics like Brown Sugar and Just Wright, letting go of Adia Zuri May was one of his biggest regrets. The couple dated for six months before they split. 13 years later, they are now husband and wife. And Adia says that in their case, time, wisdom, and readiness were the ingredients needed to make their love a winning recipe.
