Kalandra & E. Tramaine
Wedding Party
Mrs. Takeshia Hudson
Matron of Honor
I am Takeshia Hudson and I am honored to serve as Matron of Honor. I am originally from Lafayette, Alabama but currently live in Valley, Alabama. Kalandra and I have known each other our entire lives. She was born in January and I was born in May of 1983. Due to her being a few months older than me, she has always thought that she could boss me around😊. We are 1st cousins but grew up as sisters. I have the pleasure of being married to the best husband in the world, Shawn Hudson. Together we have three loving children; Tequila, Bryson, and Kingston. I am a Social Worker at Chambers County Department of Human Resources. I love to help others and enjoy spending time with family and friends. I'm looking forward to being the best Matron of Honor I can be! #iSolomonlySwear

I work at The George Washington University in Washington, DC where I am the Director of Graduate Clinical Education and Compliance. I’m also Chief Medical Information giver to Kalandra and all my friends and family as I have been practicing as a Nurse Practitioner for 10+ years.

My name is Ida and since I lived in several cities during my childhood, I tell folks that my roots are in Cross, SC. I currently reside in Northern Virginia. I met Kalandra about 13 1/2 years ago and we have been kicking it ever since I utter my first words to her, "Hey, Soror" (I typically don't greet EVERY Soror I see, but God told me to speak to her that day and I'm so happy I abide...and on top of that we are both the #7 on our lines) I don't have any kids, but I have a whole lotta youngins who call me aunt or Godmom. Since Idris didn't ask for my hand in marriage, I'm currently unmarried. I LOVE to travel, read, eat, shop on clearance racks, visit wineries, dance and spend time with family and friends...especially over some maryland blue crabs! #iSolomonlySwear

I enjoy traveling, Sunday drives with the family, and hanging out with my beautiful friends. When I can catch a quiet moment to myself, I try to relax by catching up on my tv shows and surfing the net 🤗 (when you realize your time is not your own, it’s simple things that bring me happiness! LOL). My heart overflows with joy for Kalandra & Tramaine. #iSolomonlySwear

Shayla Snipes
Bridesmaid
Kalandra and I met when I was in middle school. My family fell in love with her kind spirit. While growing up I saw her as a mentor...I aspired to be like her academically, professionally, and personally in regards to how she treated people and carried herself. After graduating from Auburn University, I took my first flight ever to visit her in Washington, DC. She has always been a positive voice of reason...I moved to DC in 2011 and the rest is history. We've been friends for 20 years (but if you count from when I moved to DC it's been 8 years). I work for Magnolia Realty Brokerage as the Owner/Broker and attend CAU as a PhD student. My hubby is Dumakas Snipes and we have a newborn son Tyson Isaiah Snipes. I enjoy traveling to foreign places, working out, and biking. #iSolomonlySwear
Rihana Williams
Bridesmaid
I "knew of" Kalandra for some time as the pretty, popular cheerleader with the long hair that went to the other Chambers County High School 😜 But we "officially" became acquainted in '03 during my freshman year at Tennessee State University. Two years later, we began our Delta journey together and grew even closer. Literally, one of the few people I can not talk to for months and pick up the phone and talk 2 hours straight! Overjoyed in my girLS's happiness is an understatement. I’m from Valley, AL. I currently reside in Harvest, AL and work for the Department of the Army as a Flight Test Director. I’m an Auntie of the greatest little people & lover of all things contributing to "making life great on purpose". 😘 #iSolomonlySwear

I have known Tramaine my entire life, as he is my older brother.

I live to travel, and I have a rescue dog who’s happy as long as she’s with me.
