Michele Howard

Bridesmaid

I was about 20 years old when we met I won’t disclose how old the bride to be was at the time (lol). I was always screaming I’m to old for new friends lol smh. (Little did I know Tiff would become a big part of my life and just what I needed). It was our first week on a new job and I had no intentions on talking to anyone at work. Tiff and I just so happened to be on the same team at work and she insisted on talking to me and dragging me out of my shell lol. She eventually became like a big sister to me. Here we are 11 years later 💕.

Best Man


Candace Deluca

Matron of Honor

I met Tiff in high school her freshmen year, like any dynamic duo when she first met she didn’t like me. Then the annual talent show rolled around and she practically begged me (LOL) to be in her dance group. After the talent show we were inseparable.  Over the past 20 years (dang she old), We have went from best friends to sisters, we have traveled the world together, shared in the birth of our children, cheered each other on in every aspect of life, we have cried tears of joy and sadness. So it’s only right that I stand beside her while she says I Do to the Love of her!

Oh my where do I begin … l met Tiffani at Lee Park when we both worked for the Petersburg Recreation Dept., we just clicked. She’s my 18 year old son’s God-Mother, so yeah we’ve been friends for over 20 years. Wow! Tiff is my Aries twin and she has always been there for me whenever I have needed her. She’s loyal, kind, and genuine and I am so grateful to have an amazing friend. XOXO


Courtney Finney

Bridesmaid

I met Tiff back in 2005, Sophomore year when we became roommates at Norfolk State University. At first glance, I wasn’t sure if we would click. After our first introduction those preconceived notions went out the window.  She has been one of the coolest, supportive and most loyal friends I’ve met and is still the same person to this day! I’m grateful for our friendship and wish you all the best!
