Squad

Tei Pearson aka Twin

Matron of Honor

Tei & I have been in each other lives forever. Our grandparents were brother and sister, and they were really close, which was passed down to us (smile). I call her twin b/c we share the same birth month, we are only 2 years a part in age, we've shared similar life experiences :-) We've shared the worst of times and the best of times and we are here standing strong through it all. She is like my big sister and I'm so grateful for her to have her be a part of this special day

Anika Tillery

Maid of Honor

Anika and I have been rolling for many years now. We started as college acquaintances who grow to be full on friends and sisters. She is my spiritual confidant, we pray together, fast together and have even started international travel experiences together and our mommy trips (smile). I'm grateful for the growth of our relationships and her positive influence.

Anitre Bell aka Nitre

Bridesmaid

Bae one from day 1...I just bust out laughing thinking about the funny experiences we've shared since childhood. We started as best friends and then when we found out we were cousins, BOOOOOOY it was on LOL. We've shared so many different things and about a year ago we both decided to follow our dreams and launch our entrepreneurial endeavors together, side-by-side. I'm so excited for her to be a part of this day b/c this will be another notch on our friendship roller coaster lol

Bakir Carlton aka Aunt B

Bridesmaid

LOL...a trouble maker no doubt, but we also started as work peers, she was my mentor when I first came to Sales, and I haven't been able to shake her since...LOL....we've been through many things during our tenure as friends but I've watched her take many risks which have helped her evolve to a wonderful mom and even stronger professional. There are friends you meet and from the moment you met you know there will be many memories created and support shared. Looking back on the last several years and seeing the grand mountains she's climbed is encouraging and I'm excited to see what's next on the list as we get me cross this broom, LOL.

Lydia DeBrest-Madison aka Lyd

Bridesmaid

Cupcake's aka Camille's original rider LOL...I can remember being pregnant then having camille and along the way Lydia kept encouraging me and has never missed a birthday party for 6yrs, LOL. Lydia and her mom never missed an opportunity to love on Link big time. And while her mom now rests with God, I've always cherished that relationship and how they welcome us with open arms, offering a prayer, support in any way possible. I've watched Lydia grow, we started as professionals, she helped me out alot with my team and now I see her continue growing and developing into an outstanding leader. Couldn't see myself walking down the aisle without her right there cheering us on, like she did from day 1, LOL

Mariah Sinclair aka Pie Face

Bridesmaid

So Mariah is like my little baby, if an 8 year old had a baby LOL. Mariah and I are first cousins and I'm just uber proud of her growth and her development. Our mom's were sisters and I've had the privilege to watch her mature and come into an amazing young women. She is going also be our makeup artist, helping us get beautiful on the day, whether she likes it or not (smile). Blessed to have her a part of our special day and can't wait to get her married off to LOL.

Kristen Campbell aka Highlight

Bridesmaid

Mannnnnn, Kris is like the big sister you always wanted and are so proud to tell all your friends about. We represent Quip Town and no one has more pride than her. She was an All American growing up: actor, sports star, and RAPPER LOOOL. She is so funny, full of life and has grown into an amazing women. I watched her bury her mother at 8 months pregnant and go on to become such a positive influence in the life of her daughters, family, friends and others around her. She left me and moved to OH when we were like 15, and it crushed me, I felt deserted but then we kept together, but I understood and we stayed soo close still :-) She has grown in her faith with God and I LOVE her dedication to service. I never knew who I'd marry, but I knew her & our sister Chamennia would be right there.

Chamennia Ogunleye aka Mennia

Bridesmaid

Quip bred, but Chamennia, Kristen & I were like the 3 musketeers LOL. We lived within eye sight of each other and as long as I can remember they've been by my side. Chamennia has the like the BEST spirit in the world. I've always admired her temperament and honestly I love being around her b/c she reminds me of my grandmother. She recently became a mommy and so her stock has just shot through the roof (smile). An amazing wife & now mom and I'm learning from her more than she knows. She loves God, but I mean of course b/c that is a pre-req of my squad LOL. Again, I prayed I'd marry, but knew she'd be right there. Chamennia left me too around 14-15 and again I was hurt, but we never stayed far...and I love her for it.

Jasmine Dennison aka "The ..."

Bridesmaid

So again, another work support, turned bae. About a decade ago we met, and since that time; our relationship has truly grown leaps and bounds. I've watched her evolve as a friend, professional, in relationships and as a mom as she sends her only son off to his 1st year of college...OOOOOT!!! this past 365 has been special, b/c Jasmine even had a chance to spend my mom's lasts Christmas with us in the cabin with her son and his friend. It was such a grand experience and memory we will always have. No question I am excited to have her by my side and appreciate the love and loyalty always shown

Bria Miles aka Sister/Cousin

Bridesmaid

Ok so I just really can't believe this lady is a lady...OMG...Bria & Lea are also my 1st cousins; my mom and their dad were siblings. Bria grew up as my baby sister/cousin, but has grown into her very own. A recent 21 year old, I'm so thankful to have watched her development. Bria reminds me soooo much of myself growing up, just way way way more talented LOL...But I am constantly learning and being inspired by her. I just can't believe she is even old enough to be my bridesmaid (smile) but away we go.

Lea Miles aka Sister/Cousin

Junior Bridesmaid

She is my SHERO and she's 16!!!! Love this young lady to LIFE!!! A true sister/cousin and Camille's Day 1, A-1, and who camille will cross an ocean for LOL. The last funniest holiday memory I have with my mom was Thanksgiving 2017. When my mom told all of us to write on a piece of paper what we are thankful for, no names listed, just write something then we each read one out loud. Well we came to a note that said "i'm thankful for lea" and we all busted out laughing and looked at Camille SMH....But that's just the tip. Lea oozes love, intelligence and sophistication and hey if Link is going to have a role model I'd rather it be this chick here. Still can't believe she is so much older too, but I couldn't imagine this day without my little Lea, by my side (smile).

Tatum Alston aka Toots

Junior Bridesmaid

My 1 and only NIECE!!!!! Love this little toots with all my heart. she came at a difficult time, but God new just the piece of joy to send, to show us while He may call a life home, he will send an angel to carry on a legacy. So thankful for my toots and how smart and pretty she is. She has such a sweet heart and I'm thankful I see her more and more each year. Grateful she can share this special day

Camille Azogu aka Link

Flower Girl

Saved the best for LAST!!!!! My stinka Link....well so much I can say about this little girl, but she has been the real MVP this year. She has hit the road with me everytime, running back and forth on the turnpike, spending her entire summer in hospitals and cars and she has NOT COMPLAINED!!! She is my constant reminder of how blessed I am and my greatest accomplishment in progress! Camille knows her loved ones not here are in heaven and knows her nana and gigi just loved her too pieces and while they may not be here to share this day in the physical, we know they are celebrating up in heaven. I love how her and Moussa have their own special relationship and it gave me GREAT comfort to know she has a positive father figure in her life who has stepped in and made it clear he is here!
