Maid of Honor
Blood couldn't make the bride and this maid of honor any closer. They're only not blood-related because God knew what chaos would ensue if they were. She is sweet and organized but authoritative and level-headed which helps to curb the bride's indecisiveness.
Best Man
You are simultaneously so different and so similar to me it's crazy man. You keep me together and have other perspectives I straight-up miss. You are one of the coolest people I know and are far deserving of your name and this role. If it wasn't for us being held verbally hostage on that LIRR trip back from Baruch, the timeline would be so different. Thanks for being in my life and accompanying me on this journey.
Bridesmaid
Kaura "OT" Davis-Levy is the bride's little sister in spirit. From impromptu beauty supply store runs, sneaking around in restaurants to pay the entire bill without objection from the other, to last-minute Fashion Nova orders and "I'm outside" texts with no prior warning, Kaura is the bride's go-to girl.
Groomsman
Dashawn met the groom in high school, and has been one of the grooms brothers ever since. From playing ball at the court, to running down the school bus, to community college, Dashawn has been apart of the grooms family for years.
Bridesmaid
Michelle is the chief re-inventor of the English language and has certainly coined some common phrases the group uses to this day. This bridesmaid has been with the bride through nursing school and all of the hurdles of adulthood. She also wins the award for the member who has the most Bath & Body works candles (seriously, there's no competition).
Groomsman
Keyshawn is one of the bride and groom's closest friends. The bride met Keyshawn in college, and he quickly became a mutual friend of the couple, frequently playing video games with the groom and light-heartedly annoying the bride.
Bridesmaid
One of the most long-standing bridal party members on the bride's side. Krizia and the bride's history goes back to 5th grade and they have been stuck like glue ever since. Krizia, along with another friend Kezia, can also take the credit for introducing the bride to Korean BBQ which can now officially be named the bride's favorite type of Asian cuisine.
Groomsman
The groom's cousin. Man, we are so alike in so many aspects. You are here because I respect your vision and drive and I strive to emulate that in everything I do. I am proud to have you here and I am proud to have your expertise in things to lean on.
Bridesmaid
What started as fights over school supplies have matured into a beautiful friendship that consists of trying new things, releasing perfectionism, and very chic cafe dates. Jocelyn is the bride's main productivity partner and always the one to call for hours-long car conversations and overall vulnerability.
Groomsman
One the grooms most loyal friends. Isaiah and Joshua has been through so much together. Too many stories where we saved each others skin man. Much like everyone here, you're my brother, blood or not.
Bridesmaid
Cousins by blood but sisters at heart, Sky has grown up right before the bride's very eyes. From a young girl obsessed with Minecraft to a young Temple graduate, Sky is one of the bride's closest family members despite any distance between them.
Groomsman
The groom's blood brother. Growing up with you has been a blessing. You are so cool, and I am glad to call you friend along with being my brother. I attribute my interest in fashion to your growth in that industry. Go get some Evolve y'all. https://evolveehq.com/
Bridesmaid
The bride's OG "laugh-until-you-pee" friend. Jess is always around for a good laugh, and a goofy video, but also great advice and comfort. Jess and the bride also took their nursing licensure exams together and passed on the same day!
Groomsman
The groom's first-ever friend. You've been there since literal diapers man. We've watched each other grow, and I was at your wedding and here you are at mine. You are my brother, through and through.
