Maid of Honor
Felista is not only Olivia’s younger sister but she refers to her as her safe space so having her as maid of honor was an obvious choice. Despite being younger, Felista is the person who Olivia runs to when she wants to hear the voice of reason given her matter of fact nature. Funny story is when they were kids and Felista got into a fight with one of their many siblings, Olivia would be next to her biting the ankle of the culprit. These two have always looked out for each other through the years and it’s an honor to have the GOAT best friend as maid of honor
