Wedding Party
Shanice Gross
Maid of Honor
There are friends, and then there are soul sisters . The kind of person who walks into your life and never leaves. She has been my rock, my safe place, and my biggest cheerleader through every season of life. No matter what I was going through, she never judged; only listened, supported, and loved me unconditionally. We’ve laughed until we cried, cried until we laughed again, and stood by each other through some of the hardest and most beautiful moments we’ve ever faced. She knows my heart better than anyone, and having her by my side as my Maid of Honor means more to me than words can ever say. This day wouldn’t feel complete without her standing next to me, because she’s been there for everything else. Through every high and low, every growing pain and breakthrough, she’s never wavered. She is more than my best friend. She is my family. I love you endlessly. Thank you for being my constant.
Candice Muir (AKA Spandle)
Maid of Honor
Growing up with you as my sister meant never having to look far for a best friend. From our chaotic American Idol sessions in the living room, where we both swore we could sing, to our endless arguments over clothes, TV remotes, and who was right (spoiler: we both thought we were), life with you has always been full of laughter, drama, and love. But beyond the silly fights and shared memories, you’ve always been my biggest protector. You’ve stuck up for me when I couldn’t find the words, stood by me during the hardest moments of my life, and never let me forget my worth, even when I did. You’ve taught me what loyalty looks like, what unconditional love feels like, and what it means to show up, truly show up, for someone. Today, as I walk into this next chapter, there’s no one else I’d want standing beside me. You were my first best friend, my forever sister, and having you here means the world to me. I love you endlessly. Thank you for being my heart when I needed strength, and my voice when I needed courage.
Victoria Muir
Bridesmaid
Growing up, my younger sister and I didn’t always see eye to eye. Whether it was silly arguments or just being at different stages in life, we often clashed more than we connected. But as the years passed and life threw its challenges our way, we slowly began to realize something important: family is everything. Through the hard times, we found each other, not as just sisters, but as people who understand, support, and care deeply, even if we don’t always say it out loud. We’ve both grown in ways we never expected, and with that growth came a quiet, steady bond that means more to me than words can say. Even when we joke or bicker, I hope you know how much I appreciate you. You’ve become someone I trust, someone I admire, and someone I’ll always have in my corner, just like I’ll always be in yours. I’m so proud of the relationship we’ve built and even more thankful to have you standing beside me on one of the most important days of my life. Love you, always, even when I don’t say it.
Alyssa Coles
Bridesmaid
We met in 7th grade, just kids navigating school, life, and growing up, and somehow, through it all, we found a friendship that felt like home. Life, as it does, took us in different directions. We drifted. But even in the silence, I always held space for the love and memories we shared. Reconnecting with you has been one of the most beautiful, unexpected gifts. You came back into my life right when I needed it most, and you didn’t just show up, you stood by me through one of my hardest seasons, with so much love and grace. During my time of grief, you reminded me of what true friendship looks like. I know Grammy is smiling down from heaven, so proud to see us back in each other’s lives. She always believed in the people who truly loved and cared for me, and I know she’d be filled with joy seeing us here, together, like this. I’m beyond thankful that we found our way back. It speaks to the kind of bond we have, one that distance and time can’t erase. I’ve always only wanted the best for you, and I still do. Having you stand beside me on one of the biggest days of my life means more than words can ever say. Here’s to the past that shaped us, the grief that brought us closer, and the future that we now get to share again, side by side.
Sandra Mozie
Bridesmaid
From locker buddies in 7th grade to standing by my side as a bridesmaid, our friendship has been such a beautiful journey. Through every awkward school moment, every laugh, every secret shared, you’ve been a constant source of kindness and care in my life. Thank you for always going above and beyond to make me feel special, whether it was a thoughtful message, a surprise pick-me-up, or simply being there when I needed someone most. Your kindness isn’t just a gesture; it’s a part of who you are, and I’m endlessly grateful for it. Having you with me on this incredible day means the world. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come and how lucky I am to have a friend who truly cares from the heart. You’ve made me feel seen, loved, and celebrated in ways that words can’t fully capture. Here’s to many more memories, more laughter, and a lifetime of friendship that continues to grow deeper every day. I’m so honored to call you my friend, and so excited to share this next chapter with you right by my side.
Stephanie Augustin
Bridesmaid
I’m so grateful to have met you through Sandra, what a beautiful gift our friendship has been! From the very beginning, it’s been nothing but good vibes, genuine connection, and openness. There’s something so rare and special about a friendship that comes without drama, without arguments, just pure kindness and support. Thank you for being someone I can always count on, someone who shows up with love, laughter, and an open heart. Your presence is a breath of fresh air, and having you by my side during this incredible chapter means more than words can say. I treasure the easy conversations, the shared smiles, and the way our friendship feels effortless and true. It’s such a blessing to know someone who lifts you up simply by being themselves. Here’s to a friendship filled with joy, trust, and endless good vibes. I’m so excited to have you standing beside me on my big day, I can’t wait for all the memories we’ll create together!
Stephanie Riviora
Bridesmaid
Sometimes, the best friendships come when you least expect them. We started as coworkers, casual conversations, shared laughs at work, and before I knew it, you became someone I consider a sister. Even though we haven’t known each other for a lifetime, it feels like we have. Your consistent check-ins, the way you notice the little things, and the way you always show up with a kind heart, it all means more than you know. Thank you for being a steady light in my life. You’ve reminded me of the beauty in simple, genuine friendship. I’m so grateful we crossed paths and even more grateful we chose to stay in each other’s lives. You deserve the best that life has to offer, never anything less. Please don’t ever settle for anything that doesn’t make your soul light up, because your heart, your presence, and your energy are too rare and too special. Having you as part of my big day fills me with so much joy, and I honestly can’t wait to create even more beautiful memories together. Here’s to friendship, growth, laughter, and all that’s still to come.
Vladimir Compet
Best Man
Having Vlad as my best man was one of the easiest decisions I had to make during this whole wedding planning process. We've been through so much together over the years, countless memories, inside jokes, and life milestones, and he's been a constant source of support, laughter, and loyalty. Whether it's been late-night talks or just being there when it mattered most. Vlad has shown up time and time again. He’s the kind of friend who feels more like family, and I’m incredibly lucky to have him by my side on one of the most important days of my life. I couldn’t ask for a better best man or a better friend.
Tamel Dixon
Groomsman
Having my brother Tamel as one of my groomsmen means the world to me. From childhood memories to growing up side by side, he’s been a constant in my life through every stage. We’ve shared laughs, arguments, adventures, and everything in between and no matter what, he’s always had my back. Tamel knows me better than most, and I’m proud to have him not only as my brother but also as a trusted friend. I’m grateful to have him standing with me on such a meaningful day.
Brandon Henry
Groomsman
Brandon and I go way back, junior high school, to be exact. We've been through a lot together over the years: awkward phases, long nights, vacations, and all the highs and lows life could throw at us. Through every twist and turn, he's been there. He is a someone I could always count on for a laugh, a reality check, or just someone to share the moment with. We’ve made some unforgettable memories, some we’ll proudly tell our grandkids about, and others well, maybe we’ll keep those between us. Brandon is more than a friend; he’s family. I’m incredibly grateful to have him as one of my groomsmen and even more grateful to have had him by my side for so many years leading up to this moment.
Rhijkard Loiseau
Groomsman
Rhijkard is the kind of friend everyone hopes to have, the one you can always count on, no matter what. Whether it’s a last-minute favor, a late-night phone call, or just someone to show up when it matters most, Rhijkard has never let me down. He’s been there through the good times and the tough ones, always steady, always supportive, and somehow always knowing exactly what to say (or when to just grab a drink and say nothing at all). Friendships like this don’t come around often, and I consider myself lucky to have someone like Rhijkard in my corner. Having him as a groomsman is just another chapter in a friendship that’s already meant a lot and I’m looking forward to many more memories ahead.
Jonathan Espinal
Groomsman
Jon E and I clicked almost instantly, and over time, he’s become one of my closest friends. What started with bonding over anime and late-night gaming sessions turned into a genuine, lasting friendship. We’ve spent countless hours debating our favorite shows, grinding through tough boss fights, and more recently, even learning Japanese together (or at least trying to). It’s rare to find someone who matches your energy and passions so naturally, and I’m grateful for every memory we’ve made along the way. From anime conventions to inside jokes in broken Japanese, Jon E has become like a brother to me, and I’m proud to have him standing by my side on such a special day.
Jonathan Petit-Frere
Groomsman
Jonathan and I have been friends since way back, childhood friends who somehow managed to grow up without growing apart. From walking around the neighborhood to surviving college, we’ve seen each other through every phase of life. We’ve shared plenty of laughs, a few questionable decisions, and more memories than I can count. Throughout the years out bond grew stronger whether it was figuring out life, or just hanging out doing absolutely nothing. Jonathan has always been someone I could trust and count on. Having him as a groomsman feels like a full-circle moment, and I couldn’t imagine this day without him.
