Shana & Nloh
Wedding Party
LaMicha Vinegar Belcher
Matron of Honor
Growing up a year apart Shana and Lamicha were more like sisters than cousins. Lamicha has always been one of Shana's biggest champions and supporters. From spending summer breaks at grandma house playing "jump couch to couch", riding tricycles and being dragged down the hill (Lamicha jumped off by the way), to now having the honor to stand next to each other as we marry the loves of our life.
Terry Jarvis
Best Man
Started freshman year at The University of Cincinnati in 2007. From throwing the legendary house parties on Vine and the epic road trip to New Orleans where they narrowly escaped an encounter with the "Lil Darlins", Terry was destined to uphold the mantle as Best Man in this wedding.
Erika Gray
Bridesmaid
Everyone has that one friend that's loyal and down to ride no matter what... well Erika is definitely that friend! Met in 2003 their freshman year at Purcell Marian High School and has been inseparable ever since. They've been each other's support system through many exciting life events. Shana was able to stand next to Erika as she married her life partner and Shana is extremely excited for Erika to witness "Shana Break The Nloh". #BestiesToTheEnd
Folorunso Adu
Groomsman
Met in 2007 freshman year of college at The University of Cincinnati, but established a bond as roommates from 2012 - 2014. Whether they were discussing career aspirations, parties or politics, the support for one another has always been 80k!
Morgan Foster
Bridesmaid
Shana and Morgan met in 2003 their first day of 9th grade at Purcell Marian High School. From cheerleading in high school, road trips to D.C. and college turn-ups at UC and Xavier, this duo was joined at the hip. And so, of course, Morgan would be there to witness Shana change her last name. #MorganIsNext #ANAHS&NAGROM

Two-thirds of the legendary line Diamond Kut, these two embarked on a journey to join the noble Klan of Kappa Alpha Psi on April 23, 2010. They have been brothers ever since!

Literally, life-twins met at Xavier University in 2007, where they were roommates, shared the same classes, major (Human Resources) and joined the first and finest sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
Ricardo Grant
Groomsman
"Now he's the tail dog, got all the fly juice!" Rico completes the line of Diamond Kut, where he and Nloh first met; completely changing UC's campus forever with events like Black Girls Rock and the Kappa Boat Ride!

The Tre of the CLASSYfied Ivies, these two became life long sisters on March 28, 2010, after joining Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Shaunte has a heart of gold and always there when you need her. #ILoveYouChip
Jordan Merrell
Groomsman
Met through both being interested in Kappa Alpha Psi in undergrad but became brothers through pushing the chapter and each other to excel in every field of human endeavor.
RaeDawn Turner
Bridesmaid
RaeDawn is the Live 5 of the CLASSYfied Ivies. They met in college at Xavier University, where they became line sisters after joining the First and the Finest sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. The Sorority brought them together but RaeDawn caring spirit and love contributed to their long-lasting friendship. Considered a big sister to Shana, she is excited for her and RaeDawn to share this moment together.
Nate Hill
Groomsman
Nloh met Nate in the UC rec center while Nate was an underclassman roasting on anybody who wanted smoke. Through many Fridays in the "Nloft" and 601 proceeding, Nloh was able to see Nate grow personally and professionally to the point where they are now brothers in the bond. All that being said, this is still THE BEST spades duo on the planet! #Don'tEverForgetAboutThat
Andrea Jordan
Bridesmaid
Friends at first sight! They met the first day of freshman year at Xavier University and were best friends every since. Through the years they've experienced random adventures to Penn Station, joining Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and having the honor of being the God Mother to Andrea's son Jude.
Harold Douglas
Groomsman
What began as simple mutual respect of two UC students from Cincinnati evolved over the years into an imperishable bond built by pivotal moments of strategic career planning, countless weekend excursions, best dress competitions (Which Nloh won 97% of the time) and the occasional Jambalaya appointments. The loyalty in this friendship is one that can't be found elsewhere.
Walter Johnson
Bridesman
Let's talk about friends to the end. They met in the second grade at North Avondale Montessori. No matter the distance or time Walter and Shana pick right back up where they left off. From summer camps, high school to watching one another excel through life, there must be a reason he's been Shana's longest friend.
Carver Ealy
Groomsman
What should have been a good sign from the beginning, Nloh met Carver as one of the original avengers, DJ Iron Man. Since this meeting in 2007, Carver has served as a dean, mentor, friend and creative support system to Nloh in every way imaginable. It's only right he stands by Nloh's side on the day he says "I do"!
Uke Masango-Dibo
Bridesmaid
Being the only child has its perks but being able to gain a sister is an absolute blessing. Shana is excited to share this moment with Uke and make many memories with her new Sister In-Love!.
Buma Masango-Dibo
Bridesmaid
What's better than one new sister... TWO! Buma is Nloh's youngest sister and Shana is excited to officially call Buma sister and looks forward to sharing many moments together.
