BISHOP T. D. & SERITA JAKES ANNOUNCE NUPTIALS

FOR DAUGHTER, SARAH JAKES!

Dallas, TX — Bishop T. D. Jakes and his wife, Serita Jakes recently announced wedding plans for their youngest daughter, Sarah Dionne Jakes. Ms. Jakes, 19, will marry Robert Leandro Henson, 22, of Longview, Texas, on Saturday, June 21, 2008, at the world renowned church, The Potter’s House of Dallas.

Ms. Jakes is a junior at the University of Phoenix majoring in journalism. She is a member of her father’s church, The Potter’s House of Dallas, and is active with the debutante program. Ms. Jakes shares two hobbies—cooking and reading—with her family. 

Henson is a senior at Texas Christian University (TCU). During football season, he dons a purple and white jersey for the TCU Horned Frogs as a linebacker. As a student, he studies criminal justice, and upon graduation in 2008, he plans to pursue a career in federal law enforcement. When he is not studying or playing football, Henson enjoys music and poetry. 

The wedding ceremony will incorporate traditional customs with family members and friends serving as the wedding party and with the father of the bride, Bishop Jakes, giving his daughter away.  The groom’s family will be represented by his mother, Samantha Henson and his sister, Tiffany Sterling. Bishop Noel Jones, Senior Pastor, City of Refuge Church in Los Angeles, California will officiate the ceremony. 

Following a tropical honeymoon, the couple plan to continue their studies at TCU.
