We're Getting Married!!

Wedding Party

Maurica Simms "Nique'E Baby"

Best Woman

I have known Nique since she was a little girl. Nique has been my best friend for over 15 years. We have a lot of memories, and we will continue to make more. Nique has had my back every step of the way through any and everything. She has never let me down, and she has never judged me. She is that person that I can call no matter the hour, and she would always pick up the phone to make sure that I was okay. She has always been the same since day one, and has never switched up. Nique has a heart of gold, and is sweeter than a piece of chocolate (corny right). I know!! I will choke slam someone for her!! I love my bestie to pieces!!

Dianne Dorsey "Sista Poo"

Maid of Honor

This paragraph doesn't touch our friendship, or the love that we have for one another. I have known my Sista Girl for over 25 years, and we have been working in the same building for 21 years. We've became friends to Best Friends to Sisters, and to getting matching tattoos on our lunch break (don't judge us). She is my voice of reason. She is that friend who will tell you when you are wrong!! She is the one that I call about EVERYTHING!! Dianne is the ONLY person that could ever shut me down, and has no problem doing it (insert smirk). All she has to do is give me that look, and it brings me back to a good space. She has always been there for me in my darkest times. The bond that we have is unbreakable! I'm blessed to have her in my life. I love me some her!!

Niko Singleton "Neekie"

Maid of Honor

Niko is another one of my Best Friends that I have known since elementary school, and we graduated from high school together. We have memories on top of memories together, and we are continuing to add to the list. We have so much fun together, and the laughs are non-stop. Niko is the type of person to make you laugh even when all you want to do is cry. You will never see Niko not smiling or laughing, but if you do Run (just kidding). Niko is one of the sweetest person's that I have ever known, and she has a heart of gold. I love me some her.

You have always accepted me for who I am, and I thank you for that. You never once judged me. We talk on the phone about everything!!
