She came back from each taping glowing; it was clear this show brought her so much joy," says Evan, who is a taekwondo grandmaster, business owner and pastor. The couple met in 2015 in church, where Evan was teaching a class. The pair developed a deep friendship that blossomed into a romance years later around 2023. "Evan was always willing to help whenever I needed a hand, and that reliability turned into something more," says Markeitah, who is a creative designer and ministry leader. By 2024, Evan "knew without a doubt" that he wanted Markeitah to be his wife, so he popped the question during a photo shoot at Six Flags. Jeff Neira/Disney A year later when the pair discovered they were selected for theTamron Hall Showwedding, they almost died — literally. "We were driving at the time and I almost crashed!" Evan recalls. "She opened her email and screamed so loud I had to pull the car over. Once she calmed down, I read the email and was shocked. I couldn't believe we were actually chosen." " 'Excited' may be an understatement. I was completely overwhelmed. Joy, surprise, anticipation, all of it hit me at once," Markeitah says. "I couldn't believe our story had made such an impact." The studio was completely transformed for the big day, thanks to the "gorgeous vision" by renowned event plannerJung Lee. The set was filled with beautiful white and yellow florals and greenery. Jeff Neira/Disney Hall wore a draped, golden satin gown with a cowl neckline and long sleeves for the occasion. "This is an honor I don't take lightly," Hall tells PEOPLE. "I've officiated a few weddings but nothing like this. What a beautiful love story. I shared with them that I was raised by my stepfather who became the most amazing father in the world to me. So to have this couple, a blended family, find love and find a way forward proves that there's no one definition of family. I am over the moon!" The PEOPLE Appis now available in the Apple App Store!
