Nikkie Keeya and Sebastian Cook
Nikkie Keeya and Sebastian Cook joined hands in marriage on May 15, 2021, at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Missouri City, Texas.
Following the ceremony, the wedding party and families and friends of the bride and groom celebrated with great food, flowing drinks, and much dancing in the Magnolia Room at the fabulous Safari Texas Ranch outside of Houston.
Fortunately for the couple, most of the national travel restrictions had been removed and many friends and relatives from both coasts (and Sparta) were able to attend the wedding in person. For those unable to attend in person, the event was livestreamed on Facebook and Instagram.
