The two must travel to her native country of Haiti for her parents’ approval and for her fiancé to ask them for her hand in marriage. However, we soon find out there is more to this trip regarding herself, family, and a final decision she will need to make.
Sean Mik’ael Butler (Dead Places) and Melkwych Pierre-Louis (Secret Society) are producing A Haitian Wedding, which is currently in production in Miami and Cape Haitian, Haiti. Basir, Hill and Louis are exec producing, with Patrick Strøm (Dead Places) serving as co-executive producer.
