Wedding Party
LEONA TOWNER
Matron of Honor "The Motivating Friend"
"Don't know what I'd ever do without you. From the beginning to the end. You've always been here right beside me that's why I call you my best friend." -- Brandy. I met Leona in Love You Like A Sister, Inc. during our matriculation at Tennessee State University, and I knew from the moment she had her interview that she would be my "little". Hell! EVERYBODY Knew. We just had so much in common! We're both goofy and fun loving (as you can see in the picture), but we are also both extremely hard working and passionate. In college we were both misunderstood, but we realized that's just because everybody's not on our wavelength. Periodt! For nearly TEN years, we have supported each other through different relationship and career changes. We always keep each other motivated rather it's to go to the gym or to go back to school. If I need someone to talk some sense into me, she's my go to girl. She is going to tell me in the most loving and supporting way possible; "Barbra why are you planning a trip when you just told me you were trying to save money?" or "Barbra, these New Years Resolutions seem a little unreasonable. Maybe you should try something that's easier to be consistent.." She is the type of friend I could go a year without talking to, but when we finally catch up, It's like we didn't miss a beat. She is the only one of my bridesmaids who lives in a different state, but no matter how far apart we live, I know she's always there.
JUSTICE LAVENDER
Maid of Honor "The Crazy Friend"
"That's my best friend! She a real bad bihh! Got her own money. She don't need no nig! On the dance floor, she had 2-3 drinks. Now she twerkin. She throw it out and come back in" LMAO. These song lyrics describe my best friend PERFECTLY!! I met Justice while working at a call center in 2019, and we have been inseparable ever since. This is my crazy friend who is down for whatever and will always support my shenanigans. Rather I wanna go to brunch, church, or to do some hoodrat things, she got me. Nah but forreal, Justice is truly my multi purpose friend. She is my makeup artist, hair stylist, personal photographer, and so much more! At the wedding, if she's not on the dance floor, you'll definitely find her taking pictures for anyone who asks. My girl gets the best angles! I NEVER met someone who was just as social as me until I met Justice. We both are more than likely to walk up to strangers in public and we both say whatever comes out our mouth without thinking so just as quickly as we both make friends, we can lose them too if you don't like how blunt we are. Anddd! We have the same middle name, so It's just like wow, we were really meant to beee <3
ELIZABETH ARMSTRONG
Bridesmaid
Sista! Sista! I love you so much! & I am so grateful to have you in my life! If I need a home cooked meal or a cozy place to sleep, I can always count on you! Words cant express how grateful I am for you. You truly tried to pave the way for me so that I wouldn't make the same mistakes you did. BUT! I'm hard headed and made the same mistakes anyway lol. Even when you're being hard on me, I know it's just because you love me and want the best for me. I look up to you more than you realize. You are an amazing role model and thee absolute best big sister!
ASHLEY HUDSON
Bridesmaid "The Bougie Friend"
My Ley Ley! I met Ashley working at a call center in 2018. There were only 3 black girls in our department so we instantly clicked and started hanging out, outside of work. She showed me all the classy, grown & sexy spots to go around town. I know I've done more crazy stuff around her than anybody else LMBO. But she loveess meeee :) This is definitely my bougie friend. She always looks fabulous everywhere she goes. When people walk up to me out in public, I already know they're about to ask me for her number & whenever I post her on my story, my DMs be poppin hunty. Whenever I get too turnt, she always makes sure I get home safe and sound, even though she might cuss me out later for making her have to take care of me lol. Also, She'll always tell me about myself, no beating around the bush or sugar coating. But we all need a friend like that!
LANEISHA GREEN
Bridesmaid "The Dancing/ Creative Friend"
Neishaaaa! This is one friend who I know I can count on for anything. If I need something, she got me no questions asked. My dancing queen. You gon catch my girl dancing rather its line dancing or twerking. At the wedding, you will definitely find her tearing up the dance floor! I can always count on her for a good time and to help me with any thing artsy I may need (cuz we all know the fine arts in not my strong suit). She is another one of my friends who will tell me like it is. Just the other day I said "Girl, I am trying to save. I told you I'm not going out anymore unless it's for a birthday." & she said "But Simone, You be lying!" and all i could do was bust out laughing. LMBO! I am so grateful to have met you and to have you in my life! I love you to pieces!
TERI ROGERS
Bridesmaid "The Dependable Friend"
My Teri Berry! You are truly an AMAZING Friend! You are always there for others even when you're going through your own things and you're one of the most giving, caring, thoughtful people I know. I have never been the type to call my friends just to talk. I usually only call for a reason (usually to make brunch plans or to ask to crash at their house). When Teri first started calling me everyday, I just wasn't used to that. Then when I answered, she would say "I just wanted to check on you" or "you were just on my mind" or "I just wanted to tell you what just happened", and that just makes my heart smile :). So now, I'm used to talking to her a few times a week, and she's my only friend who I'll call just to talk lol I love how genuine you are and that you are always ready to go with the flow. There's a meme that says "We all have that one friend who likes 'Wyd tomorrow? Let's go to Africa." I'm definitely the friend that's going to ask but Teri is my friend who will actually say yes LMBO
