SHELLY & ALEXANDER
Wedding Party
Trent Sandles
Best Man
Favorite Story/Memory: One of my favorite memories with Alex is the drive we made right before my wedding from New York to Raleigh. We got to spend the day hanging out, doing a little sight seeing in DC and just in general, it's always a thought that brings a smile to my face!

Favorite Story/Memory: One of the many great memories I have of Shelly would be when I would be driving back from work and always calling her at the end of the day to recap on what happened in my day and then hearing about her day. Those conversations would always turn into different and larger topics. Many were about our dreams and aspirations, career goals, fears, accomplishments, challenges, and more. All were true, deep, and real conversations. It’s not many people you can engage on those levels with. I have always valued that about our relationship.

Favorite Story/Memory: I have a lot of memories of Alex over the last 17 years of friendship. Playing basketball at 806 Hontley, going on band trips during middle school, waking up early to buy Kanye's CD on release day, getting caught skipping class to get free breakfast at Denny's by my dad, watching Dirk win us a championship, experiencing multiple heartbreaks courtesy of the Dallas Cowboys, and the several trips we took over the years.... I don't have a favorite, I just appreciate the friendship over the years and look forward to creating more memories, only now with his better half.

Favorite Story/Memory: Where do I start?! One of the many memories I have with my sister is when we were a little younger - she, myself & Rochelle would make up dance routines in our room & perform them for our family at gatherings. We were like the Cheetah Girls! And Shelly would always have the longest solo.

Favorite Story/Memory: Ahhh Mr. Alexander Sandles Although I don't have one main "go-to" story to describe my friendship with Alex, I can say this, it's always a good time. Top tier drinks, enlightening stories, vibes, oh did I mention drinks? He's been a solid supportive friend in ways I wouldn't have thought of and i'm happy to call someone like him a friend.
Rochelle George
Bridesmaid
Favorite Story/Memory: First off it was so hard to choose just one favorite memory but, my most favorite took place in Trinidad. It was the time that grandma took us to the bakery in Gasparillo and told her, Ashley, and myself to go in the store to get three hops bread and a gallon of water. So we go into the bakery and without telling Ashley and me “the plan” she placed the order with a fake Trini accent. Ashley and I looked at each other and were in total disbelief!

Favorite Story/Memory: My favorite memory with Shelly is our trip to Miami in 2018. It was the culmination of months of wedding planning and a celebration! But through that process I really got the chance to be close to Shelly and get to know her for the gem that she is. I will always cherish that time in our lives because I gained a beautiful friendship out of it.
