My Beloved Child, I live by faith and not by sight, in the name of Jesus—always. And I love you more than words could ever say. I want you to remember this: there was never anything wrong with you. Your hair was beautifully plaited, and you wore the sweetest little smile. You were a happy, shining child. You were beautiful then, and you are beautiful now— just as you are. Enjoy life, my love. Hold on to joy, even in the small moments. Let love guide you, and let faith carry you when things feel hard to see. Know that my love never left you. It walks with you, surrounds you, and lives on in your heart every day. With all my love, Always, Mom ❤️🕊️

Shatoria Hernandez
Bridesmaid
Hi everyone, my name is Shatoria. I’m Stephanie’s stepdaughter and the half-sister to Tay and King. Stephanie has been a constant source of love and strength in my life since I was seven years old. I’ve watched her pour her heart into our family, make sacrifices without hesitation, and love us in ways that words can hardly explain. She has always put others before herself, and her kindness, patience, and selflessness have shaped who I am today. She is truly one of the most beautiful souls I know — someone who would give everything she has to those she loves. I feel incredibly blessed to share this moment with her, to witness her find the happiness she so deeply deserves, and I look forward to meeting you all very soon.

Margaret Mosley
Bridesmaid
Heyyy loves, I’m Margaret, I met Steph at Truett Elementary (Tay was in kindergarten or preK) she was a parent volunteer, and I met and invited her to help out with establishing a cheer team and then ask/told the principal Boaz he gotta higher her and rest is history.. We have been friends/sisters every since.. honestly we had one misunderstanding but God and unconditional love for each other settled it Life be life’n so we don’t talk everyday, we share a lost the same year (her mom/my nephew) so it was hard for us to be there physically during that moment for each other but for the most part when we need each other it’s show up and show out time. I’m sooo happy she found this type of love the completely is deserving of, I know Tosha will love her through her pain and her and God will heal them.. Steph is an amazing beautiful woman inside and out.. thank you for choosing me to be a part of a love for a lifetime set by God Tosha thank you for showing us how love is and how we as humans should be love, not perfect but unconditional.. I love you big/lil sis I think I’m older so lil sis😉 I love Butterflies!

Ashley "AJ" Ziran
Groomsman
I’ve been knowing Stephanie/Denise (my sis) for about 10+years she actually helped with my wedding and other events over the years.. I met Tosha during a basketball tournament and she adopted me as a lil brother (I was the youngest on the team)…. I had the opportunity to witness these two beautiful souls in the same room at the same time and the connection they had when they locked eyes…. I guess it was kinda like I was the middle man for a few mins…. Cause they both was asking about each other…

Esha Rae Pipkins
Groomswoman
Tosha and I have known eachother for many many years . Initially, her daughter and I were friends, who I later found out stayed in trouble trying to sneak to my events back in the days lol. Overtime, Tosha and I grew close as good friends and entrepreneurial accountability partners. We often share our dreams, goals, and visions. Not to mention we are both Pisces who share the same birthday. I love her so much. She’s so genuine, loving, and very supportive. From the day we got close, I knew we would forever have each other’s back. I love you Tosha, and can’t wait to share this moment with you and your beautiful wife.

Fireball Girl
Hey there beautiful black, brown and in between people! I’m so honored to even have a place marked in Tosha and Steph’s world, but to be given a role? Oh, it wasn’t even a question! Our kids brought us together years ago, when I was a newlywed myself; and being apart of the LGBT community and residing in the country WHILST being a parent? Rare! So meeting Steph, was truly an honor! To see her transform over the last couple of years out of a shell and into an actual PERSON; has been beyond beautiful to witness! I’m beyond glad to see and grateful to bear witness to the love she and Tosha both are more than worthy of! Let us cry, celebrate and carry on. With my help, of course 😉
