Our I Do Crew
Stella Desrosiers
Junior Bride
Stella, Tamara’s daughter can’t wait to see mommy and daddy get married. This is a day she has been looking forward to for a long time.
Natasha Small
Matron of Honor
Tamara and Tasha went to Bishop Ford High School together. Although that is where they met, their friendship blossomed as they both endured many life changes together. Dubbed affectionately as her "wife" Tasha has provided Tamara with the best advice in how to tackle everyday woes not just specific to marriage, but also with friendships and motherhood.
Deanna Tinglin
Maid of Honor
Deanna and Tamara met while working together at Brooks Brothers back in 2005. With their birthdays 2 days apart it is no surprise the amount of birthday celebrations they had together. Deanna is also godmother to Stella and gets it all done. From personal stylist, hair stylist, make up stylist, prayer warrior Deanna never skips a beat. Oh and definitely a showstopper anywhere she is.
Alexandra Tull
Bridesmaid
Sis, or Sissy is Alex aka Alexandra to Tamara. Meeting each other back in Brooks Brothers in 2007, Tamara took Alex under her wing and there was not a party they did not attend together. Even when she did not have ID, as long as Tamara was there Alex was getting in. Alex is also a godmother to Stella and also with a birthday 4 days apart from each other, Alex is yet another strong Sagittarius woman in Tamara & Stella's corner.
Anmabelle Burgos
Bridesmaid
Also known as Bella or Belle. Tamara and Bella met while she was working at Levi's in 2010. While the friendship took some time to flourish Tami & Bella created a bond no one could have imagined. Dubbed her Haitian Sensation Tami & Bella continued their friendship even after they both left Levi's and Oakley (which they also worked at together).
Kayla Pierre
Bridesmaid
Everyone has that one crazy friend and for Tamara, Kayla is that one friend. Always down for it all but comes through at all times. Tamara and Kayla met when Deanna took her to church banquet in 2008 and they have been friends since. Dubbed as her "baby daddy", Kayla would always walk Tamara home late at night when she worked late night shifts at Levi's while pregnant. A friend like that is always someone special to have.
Marisa Tinglin
Bridesmaid
Mira aka Marisa and Tamara also meet in 2008 at the same church banquet and the rest is history. From late night 3am BBM messenger messages (lol), Marisa has always been there for those sleepless prego nights while Tamara did nothing but snack on apples and cheese. As a strong woman of faith, Marisa has always given Tamara great direction in prayer, support, and earrings and great lippies. lol
Pascale Jeanty
Bridesmaid
Tamara and P were part of the D.I.V.A.S crew back in Bishop Ford High School, which stood for Da Irrestible Voluptious Ass Shorties (listen this was back in the 90s). From being on the cheerleading squad together, creating dance moves in her basement at home there was not a moment or memory missed. Tamara and P's love for their daughters and motherhood has always been in the forefront.
Zulema Moore
Bridesmaid
Zizi, Jarrod's cousin met Tamara in 2017 when Jarrod introduced Tamara to his family during a trip to Virginia Beach for Thanksgiving of that year. Tamara and Zizi were able to bond that weekend and have a heart to heart moment.
Yusuf Deveteuil
Best Man
Yusuf and Jarrod grew up together on Fenimore St in Brooklyn, NY. Whenever you saw one you always saw the other. His family became my family, we partied, we traveled and whenever I needed him he was always there for me. We ran up and down the block together from playing tag and hide-and-go seek to playing street football and then flag football. An original member of G.N.O.
Scott Alexander
Groomsman
This is my baby brother, he hates when I call him that. We have an amazing bond that no body can break. We got in so much trouble together by our mother and grandmother. Always will have his back and so proud of how he has grown up. Also, he is my cigar partner
