Growing and unfolding, especially in faith, was the order of the day for Sajato Powell. But he had no idea that after moving from Clarendon to St Andrew, he would find the rose he had always been looking for. The two met as he attended a youth fellowship at her place of worship, King’s Gate United Church. True to her nature, she proved to be as captivating as her name. Over a decade later, Sajato married his enchanting Alaina Rose.

Alaina recounted that their initial interactions were both platonic and minimal. She tells Island Wedding: “I did not know much about him at the time. However, I did view him as very outgoing and friendly. While that first impression proved to be true, I also came to realise that there was much more to him as I got to know him better.”

Only then did she discover Sajato’s selfless, intelligent, ambitious, adventurous, and jovial nature.
