Soon to be PhD graduate and Product Manager. In my free time I enjoy playing soccer, video games, ping-pong, and exploring hiking trails. My friendship with Ayomide started during our undergraduate years at Obafemi Awolowo University, and over the years, we’ve tackled life’s challenges together, from NYSC to adapting to new environments and even moving to a different country. I’m honored to celebrate the love and joy he shares with Patience on their special day.

Maid of Honor
I am from Montgomery County, Maryland, and met Patience on the girls' tennis team at St. John's College High School. Our friendship now spans over 12 years and our bond has grown far beyond friendship—we’ve become lifelong sisters. After receiving my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) at Northeastern University, I moved to Atlanta, GA, where I now work as a clinic manager. In my free time, I enjoy tennis, traveling, baking, reading, trying new restaurants, and walking with my puppy. I am thrilled to be a part of this wedding party and look forward to seeing her walk down the aisle!

Not much of a fighter, but a huge fan of mixed martial arts, you'll catch me glued to the latest UFC match. I also enjoy playing soccer, pickleball, and padel. When I’m not at these, I’m busy pursuing a PhD in structures and materials. Ayo and I grew up together in Osogbo, sharing countless childhood memories, from street soccer to high school to college. It is amazing to witness his journey and celebrate his new incredible chapter with Patience. Cheers to a perfect match!

I am from Carroll County, Maryland, and met Patience during Freshman orientation at the University of Maryland College Park. Through our four years of college, we never left each other's side. I moved to California to attend medical school at UCSF and currently live in California where I am pursing my residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Even through medical school across coasts and now residency apart, we always find time to connect. In my free time, I enjoy baking, going to cycling classes, and have recently adopted pottery! I am so honored to be a part of Patience's special day and so excited to be one of the people standing beside her.
