I love you both and can’t wait to celebrate your big day with you.
Barbara Oguntola
Maid of Honor
Hi! My name is Barbara Oguntola. I’ve been fortunate to know the amazing bride my whole life. That’s right, I got blessed with having Tina as my older sister! Growing up, we didn’t talk about our dream weddings, but I always knew God was going to bless her with a genuine and caring man. The day she told me she met Robert, I was so happy for her! Over the years, their relationship has been great to watch. I am excited to stand by my sister on her wedding day and of course be a part of their epic dances on the dance floor!

I met Tina in 2011 at the beginning of PT School at Howard University. I automatically gravitated toward Tina’s beautiful smile, caring spirit, and loving heart. Tina is super smart and worked very diligently throughout grad school, plus she fed me(I didn’t know how to cook). We have developed many lasting memories since 2011, and that’s why I call her my SISTER! I am truly honored to stand by your side as you marry the love of your life. When I finally met Robert, I discovered why they were meant to be together. Robert keeps a smile on her face and truly makes her happy. In my opinion, they already resemble each other (that’s how you really know its love)! Robert is a great individual and I’m thankful his presence has blessed my sister’s life. I can’t wait to witness your beautiful union.

Bridesmaid
It all started in 2011 at Howard University, a grueling program that brought us close and began a friendship that has turned into a sisterhood for life! We shared the love for exercise that led to weekly Zumba classes and jogs on the track next door to our dorms! We shared fun walks to the grocery stores with our suitcases to pick up groceries and I always tried to keep up with the Boston Book-it with my Cali stroll, but always fell behind! Post grad we have enjoyed traveling together and now enjoying the 2019 year of life changing events as we both have been enjoying the planning of and festivities of wedding season!!!! I wish you two nothing but the best as you embark on this beautiful journey together! Love you mucho!

I've known Tina since the 4th grade and can still remember how fast our friendship developed and how its lasted throughout all these years (21 years exactly). Definitely a one of a kind! I got the privilege of meeting Robert about 2 years ago and knew he was Tee's special one. Every time Tina would talk to me about Robert I can sense how happy and loved she was, and I got to see all that once meeting Robert in person. I was also sold on Robert when she told me she met him Salsa dancing! Wepa!!!!! Can't wait to share the dance floor with my bestie and her one and only on their special night! ❤️
Shea Teagreeny
Bridesmaid
I'm Shea Tegreeny. I am married to Taylor (5 years) and the Mom of the most amazing little boy, Austin (1.5yrs). Tina and I met back in highschool over 10 years ago. We sang together in chous and still catch ourselves harmonizing with one another when singing along to the radio. We also shared this on going notebook between 7 (i think) girls while in High School. It was our way of 'group messaging' before it was a thing. Out of the 7, the 4 of us (Ash, Steph, Tina, and I) stayed close and call ourselves the fantastic 4. I am very blessed to have Tina in my life.

Bridesmaid
I have known Tina since freshman year at Osceola High School (16 years ago). We were both athletes and met through another bridesmaid, Shea. We were members of the infamous "notebook", and have remained friends through our traveling to new states and schools after graduation, and the creation of the "Fantastic 4". When I met Robert (aka Bertie, as I like to call him), I knew that he was the perfect compliment to Tina's strong personality and that he would be a great addition to our extended Fantastic 4 family! The love that these two have for each other is obvious and easy-going, and there's no question there is chemistry when you watch them on the dance floor! I cannot wait to make it official and welcome Robert to the family!

Augustina. Tina. T. Auntie T. T-money. So many names for our girl, but the one that matters most to me is Twinny. Tina and I have known each other since high school where it became clear that we were one and the same - twins birthed to different mothers but always close in heart. When I first met Robert, I knew instantly that what he and Tina shared was special. And as my nana, who by twinship also belongs to Tina, always asked “When is that boy going to propose? I like him.” High praise from a very important family figure. Robert’s skill on the dance floor and contagious smile, that can only be matched by Tina’s infectious personality, make them the perfect pair and I can’t wait to see them tie the knot.

Best Man
I have had the privilege of knowing The couple through Robert's introduction on a return trip to Arkansas on visiting from New York. Robert and I have been long time friends and sometimes foes since college. Through many years of debate and argument on all matters of subjects, my respect for him and all he stands for has grown. Now, through many years of wild misadventures and road trips, I'm glad he’s come to rest. The day I was introduced to Augustina, I knew he had changed forever. He's found a special joy he’d forever truly love and carry with him in his heart forever. My looking after him was no longer needed. Congratulations!

I first met Robert in Little Rock years ago when I started dancing salsa. We ended up becoming friends and traveling to dace events with our other friends. We all enjoyed his commentaries that we jokingly named "Blountly Speaking." I met Tina shortly after they started dating; unfortunately I ended up moving away before I could get to spend more time with them. I wish them a happy and prosperous future together filled with laughter and joy. I couldn't have asked for better people to know and to whom I could call my friends.

I'm Seneca, the younger, better looking brother to Robert. I have always looked up to him and I still do. I'm honored to be a part of this day and stand next to my brother as he marries the better part of himself. I wish Robert and Tina all the favor God can possibly pour out on them. You both deserve it!

Robert and I bumped into each other during college having a conversation about something I do not recall. Little did we know back then that “Six Degrees of Separation” does not work in Arkansas. His parents and my parents knew one another. From that association and continued encounters between classes, Robert and I became friends and later roommates. I remember the old days, he would go to Salsa classes on Tuesdays and Fridays. When he finally convinced me to go, I remember him asking ladies to salsa dance with me. He was like the older brother there to help me even though I was truly embarrassed. Over the years, I have valued his opinion and counsel. He became my wise older brother. God bless you Robert and Tina!!!!!!

It is truly an honor for me to be apart of Tina and Robert's wedding. Robert and I met in the Little Rock Salsa scene. He, Craig, and I were pretty much a trio.

I met Robert while in the military. We have been battle brothers ever since. Through thick and thin, I knew I could rely on Robert. He was the one person I knew wasn’t afraid to go to different place and see different things. Robert will always have my back, and I will always have his.

To Robert and Augustina, As I sit back and realize that my baby sister has become a beautiful woman, I now understand that it's time to let her go. As a brother it's tough but I know she will be in great hands. I am proud of you both and excited for this love that you share between each other. My only request is that you two cherish one another forever and keep Jesus at the center of this new foundation. I know that God has placed Robert in your life for all the right reasons. I am truly excited to call Robert my brother-in-law and watch my baby sister become a phenomenal wife.
