Wedding Party

Tiana Black

Maid of Honor

Tiana has been best friends with the bride for more than 20 years. Tiana met Neosha in high school, where back then they laughed and joked with each other and brought each other much comfort. To this day they serve as encouragement and love each other unconditionally. Although like many friendships they go through many changes lol and may get on each other’s nerves... but they still got each other’s back. When she wants to Tiana can be the life of the party. Her bubbly personality is one of the many attributes that make Tiana such a great person. She’s an aspiring chef, loves reading, writing and is an avid animal lover. Her speech to the bride and groom is sure to be just as wonderful as she is.

Asheber and I met fall of 1996 at Ace’s house. I had just moved back to New York and I was looking to make new friends. Ace befriended me first and introduced me to Asheber. My first impression of Asheber was that he was wild. Who would’ve known that this was going to be my best friend? A few months passed and we started hanging out more. I met his brothers in the summer of 97 and hanged out as well. I and asheber are exact opposites. I was very calm and he was wild. There was a reason why they called him Syke. we got along and it worked. We loved life and having fun. We went to parties, we walked for miles at a time to look for fun and we always found it. Over the years, Asheber was someone I could always count on. I am honored to be one of his groomsmen and witness his union with Neosha.

Neosha and her brother Jerry have the most beautiful, unbreakable bond. So when I started dating Jerry, I knew very early on how important Neosha is to him. From when we first spoke, Nene was the sweetest, and one of the most caring people I have ever met. She is such a beautiful, selfless soul who truly goes out of her way for others. She welcomed me into her family with open arms and she treated me like a sister from the very beginning. Nene, you are such an incredible person and you deserve all of the love and happiness in the world! Thank you for being the sister I never had. I am so honored to be a part of your special day! Love always, Melissa

I am Tayesha and I met Neosha back in 2005…and the rest is history! (Just kidding- lol). All jokes aside, Neosha is such a beautiful person inside and out. She’s loving, caring, and actually one of the sweetest people that I know. I am glad that our paths crossed when they did, as she has been a very important person in my life. I am also honored that she choose me to be one of her bridesmaids. I wish her the utmost best for what God has In store for her in life. Congratulations Gurllll!!

Najwa Ali

Bridesmaid

I remember going to a luncheon for this Prestigious program at our college we attended, I came in and greeted everyone. I looked around for a place to sit and decided to sit at a table where only one other person was sitting. Hoping attitude wouldn't be given, I smiled and said "Hey is anyone sitting here? She said "No, I'm Neosha by the way, I smiled and said "I'm Najwa, nice to meet you. Her smile was so warm and welcoming, we talked for so long that it felt as if I knew her forever. The funny thing is we became so close that the program would want us to sit at different tables lmao. Nene you're so warm and welcoming and although I only knew you for a short time, we have formed an incredible bond, I always tell you that positive energy is hard to find. Yet, we both found it. Love you Boo
