Yewande & Travis
Wedding Party
Brittany Perez
Maid of Honor
From Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership camp, to WashU Pre-O, to our years together in the student union. Brittany is my lifelong sister from another mister. She has supported me through great decisions and bad decisions. There is no other person that I could imagine helping me walk down the aisle with.
Omoniyi Alimi
Bridesmaid
My boo thang from the beginning. My little sister has always been there for me and me her. Couldn't imagine celebrating this day without her! From giving me fashion advice, supporting my good and bad habits, she is the best little sis anyone could ever ask for.
Bunmi Agbede
Bridesmaid
From our time singing in the "choir" together, Bunmi was a sistah from another mister I never knew I could have. The support she has shown me emotionally and physically throughout the years is something that I can't imaging living without. I'm so honored that she would share this very special day with me.
Emily Ferrell
Bridesmaid
There are only a few people in the world that you feel that you were meant to meet and can never let go. Embo is one of them. Through the joys in life, the horrible decisions, and the strong recoveries, you are always there for me, reminding me to smile with that great big smile of yours.
Keri Toner
Bridesmaid
From the day that Dr. Hopkins asked us to tell him about our Rivers, I knew that we were meant to be friends forever. From small group bliss to new adventures in DC, I'm so glad to be able to have you by my side as I now embark on this new journey.
Dina Itum
Bridesmaid
My Girl! There are few people that you can develop an instant bond with that feels like it can never be broken. Dina is one of those girls. No matter how far we are from each other and how long it has been, it's like we never left one another.
Dupe Adegoke
Bridesmaid
Since Baltimore, we've been family. From our paired homes on opposite sides of the street and the sleep overs galore. We are cuzos and family for life. So glad to get to celebrate this amazing day with you by my side.
Manu Sharma
Best Man
Manu and I go back to our freshman days at Hopkins, when we started hanging out in the AMRs. I have many great memories of exploring Baltimore together, from Canton to Charles Village, crab cakes to Pete's Grill. Ever since then, Manu has always been someone I can rely on. Even though we might cheer on different teams when we went to Yankees games at Camden Yards (that's OK man, no one is perfect, Go Yankees!), I'm proud and honored to have you as my best man as I usher into the next phase of my life.
Peter Kunhardt
Groomsman
Peter and I met when I moved in next door, and started first grade in a new school. Ever since then, we would always hang out at each other's houses. I still remember many summer days spent lounging by the pool, or biking to Rocky's deli. Peter is one of my oldest friends and it's like we never moved away from each other. I'm so glad to be able to celebrate this momentous occasion with you by my side.
Luke Thelen
Groomsman
You have twins as younger brothers the odds are stacked against you. ... Even though I still remember that I felt a little jealous on my fourth birthday because it was the same day he and Logan came home from the hospital, and everybody was paying attention to them instead of the "Birthday Boy", Lucas has truly grown up to be a great man. I value his advice and opinions and know he is always there to talk. I;m unbelievably proud of your accomplishments, from hiking the Appalachian Trail, to biking across the country, you truly are an accomplished man. I have loved our many holidays and family adventures together and even as both of our families have expanded, I look forward to more of them in the future. Thanks for standing by my side as I marry the love of my life.
Logan Kaim

You have twins as younger brothers the odds are stacked against you. ... Even though I still remember that I felt a little jealous on my fourth birthday because it was the same day he and Lucas came home from the hospital, and everybody was paying attention to them instead of the "Birthday Boy", Logan has truly grown up to be a great man. I value his advice and opinions and know he is always there to talk. I'm unbelievably proud of your work in the army and how you so dutifully served. Glad you are out now and pursuing new dreams. I have loved our many holidays and family adventures together and even as both of our families have expanded, I look forward to more of them in the future. Thanks for standing by my side as I marry the love of my life.
Phillip Mitchell
Groomsman
Phil has been one of Yewande's closest friends since medical school. He supports her like no other and I can't imagine not having him by her side during this important day. Phil I thank you for supporting my soon to be wife through thick and thin.
Yomi Alimi
Groomsman
Yomi is Yewande's brother and has been so gracious to accept me into his sister's life. Spending the last several holidays together it is evident that the Alimi clan sticks together like glue and I'm thankful that you are allowing me to get into the fold. Thank you so much for caring for your sister so far, and I hope to only continue the sentiment till death do us part.
