Kendra Cartman
Bridesmaid
Hey hey! I’m Kendra, but Davia calls me Kiki. I’m one of her big sisters so I’ve known Davia her whole life. Funny story, I actually was there when she was born and cut her umbilical cord. I now live in Houston but Chicago will always be home. 💕 I am a dog mom to my sweet baby boy, Bentley…he’s 10. Travel is my main thang, so you will often catch me at the airport. I am beyond excited for this union and already have welcomed Faruq as another brother, but can’t wait until it’s official! Looking forward to our families becoming one. I am honored and elated to be a part of the bride tribe and always got your back sissy, both of y’all! I am praying for a lifetime of love, happiness and prosperity for the two of you! #SmittenForSolebo😍
Shammaree Allen
Bridesmaid
Hey everyone, my name is Shammaree but everyone calls me Sham. I have a handsome, smart little boy that keeps me on my toes. When I’m not working and spending time with my son, I love creating content and trying new restaurants. Me and Davia have been friends since high school and our Virgo energy immediately clicked! She’s been such a light in my life and I’m so grateful to be a part of this beautiful, blessed union. Faruq, I so love you for how you love my friend! I cannot wait to witness this amazing journey! Love you guys! #SmittenforSolebo
Salimat Solebo
Bridesmaid
Hi y’all, my name is Salimat and I am Faruq’s baby sister. I’ve known him for bout 24 years and I can definitely say my presence has made everyone’s life better. You’re welcome :) I have a lot of dreams and aspirations so let’s see what I’m doing by the time the wedding rolls around. Until then it’s just vibes. Growing up, Faruq always made it his brotherly duty to take care of me, but still toughen me up. From doing WWE moves on me to finding ways to make me laugh after I started crying. To one of the kindest, most blunt person I know, I wish you extreme happiness and prosperity. I‘m excited for this new journey you are about to embark on! Davia, I’m so happy to have another sister! From the moment I met you, I knew exactly why Faruq chose you. You are a ray of sunshine and I’m so excited to make new memories with you in the family. I can’t wait to see you both walk down the isle! #smittenforSolebo #wegonbelitattheweddingfasho

My name is Zeinob, or Zee, and I am the older sister of the swaggy groom! I currently work as a DSP, with adults with developmental disabilities & I also have my event planning business, which I’ve been doing for 10 years.

I love your spirit and can’t wait to create memories with you being apart of the family!❤️ I’m super excited to be apart of this union and looking forward to watching it grow into what I know it could be!

Quam Solebo
Best Man
“Hello I’m Quam, I am Faruq’s younger brother and one of the best men in his wedding. I also am an artist. I have had the pleasure of knowing him my entire life. I’ve only known Davia a short time but it’s been a pleasure as well. I’m beyond happy for my brother to find someone he can share his life with. I hope it’s a day filled with a lifetime worth of joy for both of you.
Denzel Valenti
Best Man
My name is Denzel Valenti and I have known Faruq for a little over five years. From the moment we met, it was clear that we would be good friends. Over the years he has become not only one of my best friends, but a valued business partner. When I’m not at the dealership working with Faruq, I enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife, Katie, and our son, Logan. I am overly excited to be a part of this union. Being able to watch Faruq and Davia’s love grow throughout the years will be one of the biggest honors of my life. #SmittenForSolebo
Alex Oguntokun
Groomsman
My name is Alex Oguntokun and I am Faruq's favorite cousin....lol. The past 20 plus years seeing you grow has truly been a joy for me. You have not even scratched the surface of your potential; may God continue to guide and bless you. I can proudly say you are the brother I always wanted.
Damen Shaw
Groomsman
Hey, I’m Damen and I’ve known Davia for more than 11yrs We met in highschool, we became good friends after highschool and we’ve been tight ever since! It’s not often you see true male and female friendships but I can truly consider her my best friend. Anytime I need advice or opinion about something she’s a phone call away. It gives me great joy to support her on one of the best days of her life. Wishing both Davia and Faruq all the love and happiness in the world. May you bring each other as much happiness and friendship as ours has brought me through the years. Congratulations to the happy couple.
Darell Cintron
Groomsman
Hi friends and family of the Solebos! My name is Darell Cintron. I’ve been lucky enough to know Faruq since 2017. Even though we spend nearly 60 hours a week together at work we have built on our friendship through countless baseball games, basketball games, and fancy dinners throughout the years. Faruq can walk into my parents house and be greeted with hugs and can be greeted with even more when my 5 year old daughter sees her “Uncle Faruq”. I am extremely excited for this beautiful union and I am happy to be a part of the beginning of the “rest of their lives”!
