Melanie & Elie
Wedding Party
Mahogonee McIntyre
Matron of Honor
My sister, my confidant, my best friend. Mahogonee has been by my side through every season of life, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her. She's the incredible mother of my favorite little humans (my niece and nephew!) and always the first person I call—whether I need advice, a laugh, or a reality check. Her strength, loyalty, and heart mean the world to me.
Adorah Woods
Bridesmaid
Gorgeous inside and out, Adorah is a true gem. Our bond grew over the years after my friendship with her sister, and I quickly realized she was someone I’d always want in my life. She’s an incredibly talented artist with a heart just as beautiful as her work, and her loyalty and warmth have meant so much to me through the years.
Sofia Richardson
Bridesmaid
My sweet cousin Sofia is soft-spoken but full of heart. Beyond our family bond, we truly connected over our shared love of gaming and all things Marvel—she’s proof that quiet souls can have the most epic interests. Her kindness, calm spirit, and thoughtful nature bring so much balance and love to my life.
Montana Hernandez
Bridesmaid
What started as a friendship with her mom blossomed into a bond I never expected but now couldn't imagine my life without. I’ve known Montana for 9 years, and in that time, she’s become like a little sister to me. We’ve been through so much together, and no matter the season, we’ve always stood by each other’s side. Montana has one of the purest hearts I know and loves so deeply—it’s just who she is. Her loyalty, strength, and beautiful spirit make her someone I’m endlessly grateful to have by my side on this special day.
Tina Saba
Bridesmaid
Tina is Elie’s sister—and now, soon to be mine too! While we’re still getting to know each other, every moment we’ve shared so far has been filled with laughter and easy conversation. She’s funny, easy to talk to, and has such great energy. Plus, being the sister of the love of my life definitely earns her some bonus points. I’m so excited to grow our relationship and so glad she’s part of this special day.
Lasheda Bräske
Bridesmaid
Lasheda is one of my longest and dearest friends—a true constant in my life. She’s stood by me through some of the most difficult times, offering, support, strength, and love. Though she won’t be able to be there in person on my wedding day, her place in my heart (and in this bridal party) is forever. I’ll miss her deeply on the day, but I’m endlessly grateful for the memories we’ve shared and the friendship that has carried us through the years. She will always be one of my bridesmaids, no matter the distance.
