Best Man
Anyone who has been in our company would have thought we were brothers instead of cousins. He has been by my side from the beginning, so it's only right that he stands beside me on my wedding day as my Best Man. -Tareese

Chris and I became best-friends in high school during our hard times in geometry class. Like myself, he was failing miserably, and so we bonded. We've been best-friends ever since. I would not be the man I am today without our friendship. He gave me the courage to live openly and to pursue love. -David

I've been extremely fortunate to have this lady as a role model! Chantal bares the title of the eldest of our cousins, but is more of a sister to me than anything. Always leading by example, I wouldn't be who I am today without our talks and her advice. I am grateful for her wisdom, and more importantly, for always letting me play with her toy ponies, easy bake oven, and nail kits. -Tareese Ps. This message was regarding Chantal Chester and not her alter ego, Shots.

This young lady who I affectionately refer to as "Drea,” has been my rock for so many years; one of my oldest and dearest friendships. We go all the way back to 7th grade. She is my Yoda, my Ms. Miyagi, my woke sister from another mister. -David

Oh my baby brother. I can go into how I begged my parents for a little brother, or how I named him, but honestly more importantly I am speechless at the young man he has grown up to be. Brother, I see your passion and I can't wait to see what you do with it. -Tareese

Sherika taught me the true definition of a ride-or -die friend, she's my day-one, and one of the most selfless people I know. With her big heart, Sherika continues to be a positive role model to me, and I feel very lucky to be able to call her a sister and a friend. -David "It was all good just a week ago!"

Folks, you are looking at the sole reason I graduated... anything. Terri and I met in high school and we've been thick as thieves ever since. Whether it was related to school, or a boy, or to emotionally stabilize, I can always count on Terri to be there with a heart of gold and a willingness to sacrifice everything for the ones she loves. -Tareese "serva me servabote"

One of the coolest and kindest people I know. Saahir taught me that friendship is about the quality of moments spent together, not the quantity; and with our lives taking us to new heights, I know I can always count on him to be there for me. -David Fatherhood never looked more beautiful.

The turn up QUEEN herself is in the building! Since meeting Christina in high school, I haven't stopped laughing and having a good time. Not only is she down for the cause and the culture, she is one of the smartest people I know. -Tareese "They can be in their bag, but we'll forever be the King & Queen of the finesse!"

My crazy, sexy, cool best friend. She's the most positive person I know and can turn a rainy day into the best Netflix and pizza binge session like no other. She's always down for an adventure and always there with a shoulder and a helping hand. She's the force behind some of my hardest laugh, and a life without her is totally uninteresting. -David

My big brother! I've never said it out loud but I've always admired how he’s never afraid to open up and show his heart. I've always felt my big brother’s love for me, no matter the distance life puts between us, and I am grateful for that. -Tareese

The sister I never asked for, but secretly always grateful to have. We tease each, and get on each other's last nerve, but that's just how we say, "I love you." -David Ps. you know when a person loves you, when they spend their last few flex dollars on you.

You ever had that one job you HATED, but one good thing came from it so you can't be that mad? Amanda and I started working together back in 2013 and she has forever changed my life. Not just a beauty, but she carries the heart and soul of a saint. Hands down the sweetest person I know. I can't wait to continue to travel the world together! -Tareese Aloha!!

If you're ever in a bind Just dial her hotline And she's there at the drop of a dime (See Mariah, I'm still better than you at poetry) Ps. can you edit this for me, please?! -David
