FRANCES & KENNETH
Wedding Party
Tracey Leach
Matron of Honor
Tracey and Frances have a beautiful friendship that started in 2015, when Frances moved to teach at Tracey's school. What began as casual conversations about their different cultures quickly blossomed into a deep bond. Tracey's invitation to Frances for her first Thanksgiving away from home was a pivotal moment that sealed their friendship. Since then, Frances has become a regular at Tracey's home, with her favorite meal being mac and cheese and a Heineken to keep things chill—tradition since 2015! Their friendship is built on fun times, from movie nights to getting Tracey fully immersed in the Caribbean culture at dancehall parties. Tracey has supported Frances like family, always there with love and encouragement. Not only has Tracey supported Frances through her journey, but she’s also shown love and warmth to Kenneth since the very first day Frances introduced him

Jeremy Thomas
Groomsman
Jeremy is a rock-solid pillar of support, Andre and Jeremy have had many fun and crazy memories as youths partying in Jamiaca, from the vibrant Passa Passa street parties to the legendary Weddy Wednesday and the Asylum nightclub. They have partied together, embodying the true spirit of friendship and with time becoming family. Their local friendship was soon short-lived as they migrated to live overseas. Jeremy was always just a phone call away, offering his wisdom, encouragement, and a reliable presence. Andre has come to have great respect for Jeremy, Jeremy has not only been a longstanding friend, but ultimately a built-in brother. When the time came for Andre to choose who he wanted to stand with him on his wedding day, there was no question who would stand by his side as a groomsman—Jeremy, a steadfast supporter, friend and family.
