A Love Worth Honoring
June 12, 2026 On June 12, 1967, the Supreme Court affirmed what Mildred and Richard Loving already knew — that love does not require permission.
On June 12, 2026, we gather to remember them.
A Loving Experience
An Intimate Afternoon in Richmond, Virginia
This inaugural and intimate gathering is designed to honor the love story that changed history — and the husband-and-wife couples who carry that legacy forward today.
Hosted by LOKA Luxurious Gatherings & Retreats, we are extending a small invitation to 18 interracial couples for a private, one-afternoon experience in the heart of downtown Richmond, Virginia — the very region where Mildred and Richard Loving lived, loved, and fought for their right to simply be together.
This is for biblically rooted, Gen X husband-and-wife couples who understand that love across lines is both beautiful and sacred. Couples who know what it means to build a life together.
If that sounds like you and the one you love, we'd be honored to welcome you.
What the Afternoon Holds

Why This. Why Now.National Loving Day is observed every June 12th in honor of the Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court decision — the landmark ruling that struck down laws prohibiting interracial marriage across the United States.
But before it was a court case, it was a love story.
Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving were a quiet couple from Central Point, Virginia. They weren't activists. They weren't trying to make history. They simply wanted to be married and raise their family in the place they called home.
Their courage changed the course of this country — and their story continues to resonate with every couple who has chosen love across difference.
This gathering is an act of remembrance, celebration, and connection.
It is rooted in honor — for the Lovings, for their legacy, and for every couple in the room who knows what it means to love boldly.
What the Lovings fought for, we get to live
This afternoon, we gather to remember & celebrate how far love has carried us
