Heather & Olukayode
Wedding Party
Danielle Brown
Maid of Honor
My older sister has always been my biggest cheerleader and closest friend. She's truly been there for me throughout life's ups and downs. I always know that I can call on her for encouragement, love, and a good laugh. When I was a kid, I always looked up to my big sister. She set a wonderful example for me. She's intelligent and beautiful with a heart of gold. I'm so blessed to have her in my life.
Michael Opatola
Best Man
Mike and I met back in undergrad while attending University of Maryland trying to figure out how to become Aerospace Engineers. After graduating, we happened to move to the same state and our friendship grew into a brotherhood as we got older. Mike and I have a mutual love for sports and he's still unable to beat me in 1 on 1 basketball over the years...lol. Mike was also there from the beginning when Heather & I first met and has been there for me throughout.
Jamie Gray
Bridesmaid
Jamie and I attended Spelman College together, but we didn't become friends until law school. If you saw one of us on campus, you saw both of us! Jamie is the hardest working woman that I know, and I am amazed by her tenacity and strength. Plus, she's a girl boss! Shoutout to her business @blackgirlbuying! She's always there for the people in her life. I know that I wouldn't have survived law school without her support and friendship.
Peter Walker
Groomsman
Peter has been one of my closest friends for over a decade now. We met my freshman year in college when I got off the waitlist to join him and Femi as dorm mates. The rest is history. Peter is funny, calm, and smooth and I've learned a lot of good life lessons from him over years. Looking forward to seeing him bust a move on the wedding day!
Diana Ky
Bridesmaid
Diana and I met when I moved to Minneapolis in 2015. I didn't know a single person in the Twin Cities. She quickly helped make Minnesota feel like home. She's my forever work wife! Diana is one of the smartest people that I have ever met in my life! She's incredibly compassionate and hilarious!. Oh and I failed to mention... the girl can dress!
Jide Ake
Groomsman
Jide is my cousin and we grew up together in Nigeria. I've been able to learn a lot from him over the years and played a part in me getting started in the tech industry. I’ve always admired how hard he works and how he’s able to balance work while enjoying life all at the same time. I’m looking forward to celebrating with him and patiently waiting for when it’s his time!
Katie Toler
Bridesmaid
Katie and I go wayyyyyy back! We met freshman year at Spelman College by pure chance! We were both in line for the spanish placement exam and struck up a conversation. We've been friends ever since. People often comment that Katie is quiet. I like to say that Katie is a quiet storm! We share so many crazy memories from running the Atlanta streets in college to Caribana. When I studied abroad, this girl even flew to London to visit me. That's friendship!
Femi Jr Ajimatanrareje
Groomsman
One of my closest friends as well. We met during my freshman year in college when I joined him and Peter as dorm mates. Femi is funny and just an overall goofy guy. Femi was a year ahead of me and was able to show me around college and how to navigate my first year. Our friendship remains strong over the last decade. PS: All of his Lebron takes are all wrong. #lebronhater
