“My plans were completely changed, but my husband and I decided to get married anyway,” says Mushayamunda. According to The Times article, “The wedding was to have taken place at the Millennium Center in Winston-Salem, N.C., with more than 200 guests, including family and friends from Zimbabwe, South Africa, Australia, Canada and Britain.

“The couple, concerned mainly with the health and safety of their guests, were still married May 30. But the ceremony, and the reception, took place mostly with immediate family on the grounds of Summit School — a scenic outdoor space in Winston-Salem, and the school the bride attended through ninth grade.”

They were engaged in August 2019. Mushayamunda is a marketing specialist at Javara, a clinical research company based in Winston-Salem. She recently accepted an offer of admission to pursue an MBA at Wake Forest in the fall of 2021. Hooker began a judicial clerkship in August with Adam M. Conrad, a special superior court judge for complex business cases at the North Carolina business court in Charlotte.
