Our "I-Do" Crew
Brittany Furlough
Matron of Honor
BRIT-TA-NY do not get it confused with BRITT-NEY. Britt is my first cousin and like my first best friend. Our mothers(who are sisters) gave birth to us the same year. We spent most of our childhood weekends and summers together spending the night over each others houses playing with dolls, making up dances/cheers... just acting stupid lol. Britt is someone I can always go to and talk about EVERYTHING. She doesn't judge, is a great listener, and able to provide an objective point of view. We have very similar personalities and I enjoy our moments together.
Dorenda "Cache" Kelly
Maid of Honor
Cache is my little sister. Growing up we fought all the time like sisters do lol. Our mom would dress us with the same outfit as if were twins. When one of us went some where, the other had to come with. As we got older, we've gotten much closer. I love her quiet and calm personality, I love how she is her own person and does whatever she wants to do. I love when we laugh and goof around with each other.
Danielle "Shay" Clarke
Bridesmaid
Shay-Shay is my older cousin, but kind of like my older sister. Growing up Shay was the one I looked up to as a role model. I followed her around all the time! She was the first of the family cousins to graduate college which motivated me to go to college. Shay always makes everyone laugh, one of my go-tos for advice, and loves to eat just as much as I do! lol I loved our time together as roommates, wedding crashers, and movie dates.
Sheyla Kelly
Bridesmaid
Sheyla is my youngest sister. I am so proud of the women she is becoming. She is fun and easy going, calm and quiet. I love her independence and how she carries herself. I love hanging around her and watching her growth. You may see her at the wedding with her headphones in even while the DJ is playing lol.

Keena is one of my best friends from college. We met our freshman year and became roommates our junior and senior year. From doing overnight jobs together, to late night cries, to fighting people(no comment), to tears of laughter...Keena and I have had soo many fun and emotional moments together lol! She always has my back and is always down to ride! She also made me the godmother to her first beautiful baby girl!

We've had so many fun moments together and know so many of each others deepest darkest secrets lol. From sneaking out of school, to nights that ended with our heads in the toilet, to laughing at bald head small head(insider) our history runs deep.
Ebony Mosley
Bridesmaid
Ebony is my good friend from high school. We became friends our freshman year and have continued since. My favorite memories with her are our hangouts in in high school, fun times going out to eat, and some funny memories that I will not mention on here lol. I love Eb's sense of humor, fashion/style, and how she carries herself. You can catch her at the wedding singing any Beyonce song or rapping your favorite rapper's favorite rapper lyrics that may come on.
Jenelle Hudson
Bridesmaid
Jenell and I met through a mutual friend while going to separate high schools. We later ended up attending the same college and became friends. From leading The Black Action Society together and becoming roommates, we became really good friends over the years. Jenelle is ALWAYS late, but she is always willing to give a helping hand with any event. We are sure she will have a hand in wedding planning!
