Wedding Party
Laurel Jean Baptiste
Maid of Honor
From the very beginning, Lynn has been my day one, my sister, my best friend, my other half. We’ve grown up side by side, protecting each other through every high and low, and I’ve always said that God made us for one another. No one in my life compares to her. Her strength, her heart, her loyalty …that’s Lynn unconditional. We’ve always had each other’s backs—whether it was navigating life, love, or just figuring out what outfit to wear. She’s a rare light in this world, and I truly believe the best is yet to come for her. Watching her walk into this next chapter with the love of her life, I can honestly say Andrew is one of the luckiest men inna Farin (yea Mon lol). To be standing beside her in life is a blessing, but as her maid of honor this isn’t just a role; it’s an honor and a celebration of a bond that time will only deepen. Their love is definitely Powellfull❤️🙏🏾
Tiffany Dixon
Bridesmaid
My name is Grace and to say that me and Shana are just cousins would be an understatement. Not only did we grow up together but we have grown together. Shana has been there to create memories that will last a lifetime and that I can always look back on smile. Many people say, “you know you can call on me” but Shana really means it. Not only is she going to show up but she is going to show up with the brightest smile, biggest heart, and pour nothing but love into you. Shana you have always been there to provide motivation when I needed it the most. Never once judged but have always been there no matter the situation. It has always been rooted in us to love and protect one another and you have never failed or come short. I love you Shana and I am so happy that you found your forever love.
Deminee Reddick
Bridesmaid
I’m Deminee, Shana’s college bestie since 2005. From Jayflo Davis, Room 322, to crying through our darkest hours—we’ve been there for each other every step of the way. My mom always said, “You didn’t get the roommate from hell; you got the best roommate a college student could ask for.” I still remember walking in on that Sunday and hearing Shana playing Melodies from Heaven—and little did I know, I was meeting someone who would change my life. With her, I learned how to throw shots back like a pro, knock out those papers, and most importantly, how to make everyone in the room feel loved and seen. My friend, my sister, my future OLG (Old Lady Gang) member—you’ll always hold a special place in my heart. I love you forever. And Mr. Powell—you got my girl singing… he proposed to me! I’m so happy for you both and even happier that I’ve gained a brother. Love you always!

Tiffany simmons
Bridesmaid
Hi, I'm Tiffany. I first met Shana as an "Eatonville Kid" during our summer camp days with Mr. Lathrop. From being the loudest during our voice exercises to our unforgettable trips to Jamaica and carnival adventures, we have shared countless incredible memories together. Your adventurous spirit and zest for life always bring light to any room. As you begin this new chapter with the love of your life, I wish you nothing but happiness, love, and success in your marriage.
