Wedding Party
Laren Hall
Officiant
Laren has been one of our closest friends for the past ten years. We met in college in 2016, and from that moment on he became family. From 2016 through 2024, he was not just our friend but also our roommate, which means he truly has seen it all: the ups, the downs, the laughter, the growth, and the love that has brought us to this moment. He knows us better than almost anyone, and he has been there through every chapter of our relationship. Laren is funny, loyal, and driven. He is one of the very best people we know. Our bond with him is unshakable, and we could not imagine life without him, let alone this day. We chose Laren to officiate because he has lived alongside our love story from the beginning, and there is no one better to speak to the heart of our journey as we begin this new chapter together. Having him stand with us in this role is one of the most meaningful parts of our celebration.
Ariel Keen
Maid of Honor
Ariel is Nedra's youngest sister and is the life of the party. She can make anyone laugh, dance until sunrise, or just curl up for a movie marathon. She has the best mix of sass and heart. We admire her drive as she works toward her master’s in Psychology to help children, and we are so proud of her big heart and loyalty. Ariel is fun, and we could not imagine this day without her by our side.
Victoria Keen
Maid of Honor
Victoria is Nedra's middle sister and the planner of the family. She is always organized, always curious, and always ready with the next big trip or idea. We admire her adventurous spirit, her love for her sweet dog Ella, and her incredible dedication that led her to earn her doctorate in Occupational Therapy. She is fiercely loyal and we are so happy to have her beside us on this special day.
Jayden Dacosta
Best Man
Jaime's “big lil brother.” Jayden and I are seven years apart but only a day apart in birthdays, proof that the universe has a sense of humor. He’s a straight shooter with a gentle soul, loved by everyone because he loves everyone right back. Watching him grow into the man he is today has been one of my proudest joys. Subdued but solid, he’s family through and through and always keeps it 100. Just don’t bring up football unless you’re ready to debate; he’s always game, anytime, anywhere.
Gardian Jalloh
Best Man
Gardian is Jaime's best friend since the sandbox — truly, blood couldn’t make them any closer. Gardian’s been by his side through every chapter, from bringing Nedra to D.C. to a lifetime of adventures that shaped who we are. He’s one of one, a cool cat, deeply loyal, and somehow both the voice of reason and the one egging you on. A heart of gold wrapped in jokes and contradictions — my brother in this world of war and love.
Sally Dacosta
Mother of the Groom
Sally is heartbeat of our family. Sally is equal parts nurturer and truth-teller, the kind of mom who’ll feed the whole world if she could, then lovingly tell you what you really need to hear. A true Scorpio, she keeps it real, classy, and always steals the spotlight in any room (especially if there’s a camera around). She’s our rock, our comedian, and forever one of our biggest supporters.
Josephina Keen
Mother of the Bride
Josephina is truly one of a kind. She is deeply family-oriented and makes it a priority to keep everyone connected and making sure we never lose our sense of togetherness. She is fiercely loyal, always there for anyone in need. We are endlessly grateful for the way she loves and supports us.
Arden Keen
Father of the Bride
Arden is witty, sharp, and full of personality, with the kind of humor and confidence that makes him unforgettable. Like a true Scorpio, he loves to make jokes, share random facts, and believes he is rarely wrong. He is fiercely loyal and will always defend the people he loves. We are grateful for his guidance and endless support, especially on this special day.
Bronx Brixton Biggaveli
Best Dog
Bronx is our beloved French Bulldog, and though small in size, he makes up for it with plenty of sass and personality. Known for being both bougie and protective, he loves attention almost as much as he loves his long naps, often sleeping most of the day. Bronx is famously obsessed with water, completely devoted to his parents, and happiest when he is outside, even if he has no interest in walking very far. While he will not be at the ceremony, Bronx proudly holds the title of “Best Dog” and will be making his cameo in the wedding photos, exactly as he prefers, in the spotlight.
