Pamela & Omar
Our Blush and Blue
Monique Sheppard
Matron of Honor
Monique, or "Mo" as she is called by her loved ones, is Pam's best friend and Matron of Honor. They met in Kennedy High School and are the only members of "FGST (Fly Girls Stick Together) clique lol. Since high school, their friendship has grown even stronger. Pam and Mo have that kind of friendship where they could be apart for months and pick back up like it ain't no thang. Some things just don't have to be explained.
Leslie Simmons
Bridesmaid
Leslie is Pam's first homegirl. They've known each other since the second grade! They met in Ms. Bivona's class, sang together in the Choral Ensemble and were notorious for snagging every award at 5th grade graduation. When Pam and Leslie weren't hanging at each other's houses, they could be found on the phone talking for hours, with not a care in the world. Oh to be young again!
Stephanie Rochester
Bridesmaid
Pam and Stephanie became besties as the two of them struggled to stay afloat during their beginning years teaching special education. Every teacher knows the importance of a teacher friend to share in the laughter, tears and meltdowns that come with the job! Nothing brings two women closer together than running away from disgruntled parents in the street! Seriously though, no one can understand the life of a teacher more than another teacher. She keeps me sane.
Shacora Davis
Bridesmaid
Shacora is Pam's baby cousin and the life of the party. She's all smiles and positive energy...and if you're in the room with her for more than 30 seconds, she's guaranteed to make you laugh. Have you seen Girl's Trip? She's Tiffany Haddish. And yes, she'll be our unofficial energy producer.
Victoria Lowe
Bridesmaid
Vikki is Pam's godsister. They met when she was in the womb, as Pam and her brother Clinton were already the best of buds since the age of 3. Naturally, Vikki would become just as close to Pam as her big brother, and like any big sister, Pam is beyond proud of the woman she's become.
Luqmaan Knight
Best Man
Luqmaan (Luke) Knight, is Omar's younger brother. These 2 are as close as brothers can be and they always have each other's backs. They didn't grow up together; however, they both love making up for lost time. Laughing and talking about life and business are just a few topics they discuss whenever they hang out. Being Star Wars fans, they have named each Luke & Obi Wan (Corny, I know lol).
Roger Salkey
Groomsman
Roger Salkey and Omar both attended John F. Kennedy High School in the Bronx. They met in 1996 during their sophomore year. They both played Varsity Football on the Kennedy Knights and developed a close friendship. They were brothers both on and off the field, hanging out on the weekends, after school and over the summer breaks. They were fixtures at each other's family events and did everything together from shoveling snow to make a few extra bucks, to picking up girls and even the occasional young dumb knuckle head activities. They remain close, even with Roger planting roots and starting a family in Texas. (FYI, Pamela has reviewed this description and is side-eyeing the 'picking up girls' comment lol. Let's see how long it takes for Omar to notice this.)
Seth Evans
Groomsman
Seth and Omar met at Hampton University during their Freshman year in the Fall of 1999. They both stayed on the 4th floor of the freshman men's dormitory, Harkness Hall. They started hanging out once they realized that they were two New Yorkers in Virginia. They became very close in school and that friendship followed them back to New York after college. They both got into finance with Omar choosing private wealth management and Seth choosing investment banking. Seth and Omar remain close and are two of each other's closest advisers to this day.
