Our story began in 2014 at a Red Lobster in Miami, FL, where I was his waitress during a family vacation with his aunt and uncle. Thanks to Uncle DC’s encouragement, I gave him my phone number when I dropped off the bill. We spent every day together for the rest of their trip, but when I found out he lived in North Carolina, I decided we should just be friends. From 2014 to 2018, even while pursuing other relationships, we stayed close, keeping our friendship and communication strong. In 2018, we made it official and started dating, embracing a long-distance relationship until Tristan moved to West Palm Beach in 2020. Since then, we’ve grown our family with our beautiful son, Zavien, and our love continues to grow every day.

My sister, my maid of honor, and my forever built-in best friend thank you for standing by my side through it all. Outside of our parents, you are one of the other people in my life who has played a major role in molding me into the woman I am today and I am forever grateful for you. You embody the essence of what a maid of honor is supposed to be and I couldn’t take this next step in my life without you!
Bridesmaid
My cousin, and now my bridesmaid, you are definitely the life of every party—thank you for bringing the fun and the love to every moment! You have always stood by my side from childhood into adulthood always having my back and now I am honored to have you standing by my side in this magnificent time of my life!
Bridesmaid
My amazing bonus sister and ultimate hype woman—thank you for always bringing the energy, love, and nonstop support! I find myself always introducing you as my “sister” not my “sister-in law” because our bond is so far past “in-law” status. You support me, you motivate me, and you push me to always reach for the stars and I am so blessed that God placed you in my life!
Bridesmaid
My right-hand woman, best friend, and the sister I chose—so lucky to have you by my side! Couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without you! Our friendship is 15 plus years strong (I stopped counting a long time ago lol) and now you are not only my best friend but my family, my sister! I am so grateful for you and so excited and blessed that we are both getting ready to step into this next chapter of our lives together !
Bridesmaid
More than a cousin! And now my bridesmaid — your heart, humor, and love have made every step of this journey even more special. You sometimes seem to be that little fly on the wall, quiet but always watching lol. I truly believe that you know more about me than I know about myself lol, you are one of the most caring, thoughtful, and loving people I know. I am honored to be able to have you by my side!
Bridesmaid
My cousin, my bridesmaid, and the one who always keeps me laughing—every moment is always better with you by my side! It is never a dull day with you around lol. Not only are you absolutely hilarious but when you speak, you mean what you say and you say what you mean and I love that about you because you will definitely keep me in line on this chaotic day while also keeping a smile on my face!
Bridesmaid
My amazing cousin and bridesmaid—you are always bringing so much love, light, and joy wherever you go. You are definitely my baby! Growing up you already knew that I would drop everything I had for you, and now that we are both adults I know that you will do the same for me. I am overly Grateful to have you by my side.
Bridesmaid
My sweet niece, I couldn’t imagine not having you as my bridesmaid, you are the heart of every celebration—you bring endless love and light up every room you walk into. Girl girl girl you know you my homey for real for real lol you have always mirrored my weirdness and I love it. But seeing you grow up into the beautiful young lady you are today I have found myself admiring the woman you have become. You are not my bridesmaid because you are my niece, but because I truly cherish the bond that me and you have and know that you will forever have my back and will never steer me wrong!
Bridesmaid
My beloved niece, standing by my side as a bridesmaid means the world to me—your love and light makes this day even more meaningful. You are definitely another quiet fly on the wall lol but you speak with so much intelligence and confidence and I truly admire the woman you have grown to be. I know that when I am feeling down you’ll be there to make me laugh with one of your famous accents lol, but in all seriousness I know that if I need your help with anything you are always there to lend a helping hand and if something looks wrong your not afraid to tell me so, which is exactly why you are an important part of my team!
