Maid of Honor
Aleah is my sister, dance partner, karaoke partner, and one of the best teachers I know. I am so proud of the woman she has become and the sisterhood we have developed over the years. She's been by my side for 28 years now; it's only fitting that she stand by my side on my wedding day.
Junior Bridesmaid
Tania is one of my little cousins and someone I hold dear to my heart. She is known for her love of game shows, board games, and sports. When I have a question about the happenings in the NBA or WNBA, I do not turn to Sportscenter—I call Tania. We have enjoyed many Washington Wizards games together and I look forward to enjoying many more in years to come.
Junior Bridesmaid
Adrianna aka "My Twin" reminds me so much of myself at her age. She is inquisitive, thoughtful, and goal-oriented. You will often find her over my house baking cookies, attempting to make ice cream from scratch, or watching a Disney movie I have requested that she watch. I can only hope that she continues to entertain my love for Disney movies well into her teenage years.
Best Man
What can't I say about this guy? Our friendship started back in the 6th grade and continued through high school, on to college, and into adulthood. Jarius is one of the most business savvy people I know and quite the numbers guy. I can always count on Jarius for sound business advice and a good laugh about the old times. I was his best man at his wedding when he married his lovely wife, Aurielle, and I'm honored to have him stand next to me as my best man.
Junior Groomsman
Witty, funny, and way too old for his age are just a few of the descriptions that come to mind when I think of my nephew. Today, he nearly towers over my head, but there was a time when he fit into one of my arms and gave me my first taste of babysitting. I always enjoy hanging out with him each time I head back to Florida. I'm extremely proud of the young man he has become and I'm excited to have him stand next to me as a junior groomsman.
