Tyonna & De'Andre
Wedding Party
Tyrionna
Honorary Maid of Honor
I’ve known Tyonna since my literal birth and she has been my best friend ever since. I can’t name a single moment with her where I wasn’t forced to laugh or crack a smile, even when I didn’t want to. She’s everything you could ever ask for in an older sister. She can make the toughest of situations seem like a breeze, and fill the saddest of times with joy with her smile alone. To this day, i’ve yet to establish a bond like the one I have with my sister. I thank her for being herself and remaining true. She’s everything I aspire to be. I never knew someone could pave the way for me so perfectly and beautifully to the point where I know that with following her i’ll never make the same mistake twice. I love you and thank you Tyonna, forever and always.

I’ve known Tyonna longer than my memory expands but we became friends in 2008. We’ve shared many memorable moments but by far the best one was long before she had a license to drive. One day, while I was at work she asked to borrow my KEYS; she then stole my car and drove all over town breaking more laws than I could imagine. I can truthfully say, to this day she still cannot drive! Our friendship has been an exciting road trip, along the way I’ve gained a bestfriend, a bestfriend-in-law, and a beautiful god daughter. I love you all so much and I’m excited to see what the future holds for you. Congratulations!

Although we attended the same middle school and high school, Tyonna and I didn’t become close until freshman year of college at Florida A&M. We ended up being dorm hall mates and then turned roommates once we moved in our first apartment together. My favorite memory would have to be living together of course. All we had was time together. Time to talk about any and everything from school, life, heartbreak, and love. Apartment S202 gave me another sister. I can’t believe you are going to be officially off the market! I pray that you continue to be the virtuous and inspiring person, woman, mother, daughter, friend, and life long partner that I know you already are. Seek God in all that you BOTH do. May this year of 2020 be the catalyst for the many wonderful and long prosperous years ahead!

I met Tyonna during the summer of 2016 while doing Teach for America - Baltimore when we were assigned roommates and to the same school! I don’t think either of us knew that our relationship would blossom into what it is today. Since then, through our highs & lows, Tyonna has truly been my Fairy God Sister. There has never been a moment where I felt that she was out of reach. My greatest memory with her is the night we first met, went to a bar, & had the time of our lives. That was the beginning of a wild friendship and sisterhood. I am so honored to be able to witness the union of two special people who deserve nothing short of the happiness and love that they so willingly give to others. Tyonna, it’s only up from here and I’m riding until the wheels fall off....and then some! I love you.

Tyonna and I met at FAMU in fall 2012 during practice for the dorm step show (TWC). I remember having a conversation with her and she mentioned she went to East Bay High School. I told her my cousin went to East Bay and in this moment we realized we shared a cousin. It's crazy how life works because i'm certain neither of us would've guessed we would become as close as we are now. My favorite memory with Tyonna is our college graduation. This was a pivotal moment that we were happy to share together. Throughout our time of knowing each other at FAMU, we constantly encouraged and pushed each other to excel. Tyonna, thank you for the new experiences, I love you for them. You deserve this moment and I'm forever grateful to be by your side. Here's to a future of forevers!

I met this beauty at our family reunion in 2008, in 2010 we became two peas in a pod. I know she got tired of me being at her house all the time, but of course she never said anything. From those summer days, to attending the same high school, and cheering together, we’ve shared so many unforgettable memories. My favorite memory with Tyonna is the cruise we took for her 25th birthday. Man oh man was that trip one for the books! I needed a week to recover and a longgg break from liquor. Tyonna has truly been amazing in every way from day one. Watching her blossom into a beautiful woman, mother, and soon to be wife has been a sight to see! As you prepare for your big day, I wish you a lifetime of love, peace, joy, and happiness. May God bless you and your union in a way that blows your mind!

I'm fortunate enough to have known Tyonna my whole life. When it comes to my favorite memory with her.. there are so many, I don’t think I can choose. It all began in St. Joe going to Mr. Larry’s store for snacks then walking to the the gym (IYKYK), it continues into our college years and wheww chilleee we're not going there lol. Lastly, watching her receive not one, but TWO degrees & becoming the best mommy to ANS. Congratulations on this new milestone! Thank you for allowing me to witness this beautiful moment with you. I hope throughout the years you two become even better friends and share every possible kind of happiness life can bring you. May the love you share today grow stronger as you grow old and wrinkly together. I love you both so much! & Dre, always remember Proverbs 18:22.

I’m Tyonna's aunt- but if you ask her, she'd swear we are sisters lol. Our memories go way back from bickering in our youth, braiding her hair all the time (because Lord knows Bev couldn't do it lol), to now vacationing together and watching our little ones grow. I could go on and on, but my favorite memory with her was when she found out she was pregnant with Alani. I remember her calling in a panic and not knowing what to do, but I knew she would be a great mother by the way she is with everyone else's kids. Tyonna is a very beautiful person inside and out. I am so happy for her and Dre and I can’t wait to stand by her side on this special day.

De’Andre - my big brother, my protector and my nemesis all rolled into one! If you were to ask me at birth who De’Andre is, my answer would have been “I don’t really know this guy, but he looks pretty cool." If you were to ask me now, I would have endless stories to tell … 20 memorable years worth! We have been getting in trouble together since I was in diapers, and I wouldn’t change a thing. Come to think about it, not one moment in my life went by where I couldn't help but laugh at who he is. Lowkey, my brother has always been my secret superhero. I love him forever; furthermore, I feel extra blessed with the additions of my beautiful sister, Tyonna, and my wonderfully loving niece, Alani. I love you both dearly, and it will be my utmost pleasure to help you all celebrate your matrimony!

Dre, my best mansziz, my brother from another. Who knew a trip down 295 searching for a football program would land me a best friend for life. What a time we had running those Roosevelt halls, setting trends with the rest of the gang. Too many stories to write and too many stories that would land us in trouble if we shared. Teemheem for life brother. We would’ve ran FAMU or Bucknell had we attended the same school but the universe knew better. Instead, they provided us with our future wives. It’s my honor to pass my best friend off to Ty and Alani. I wish you all nothing but the best and just know I’ll be right there when you need me. Love, Domo P.S. Alani said DaDa first. #TeamDad

It brings me much joy to to be a part of my brother's big day and to stand by his side as he takes his queen's hand in marriage. As his older brother, I've had the pleasure of watching De'Andre make great decisions on many occasions, but none of which can compare to this. I salute you Dre, as you build your family and continue to be a great man. I not only have the best brother a guy could have, but now I've also gained another beautiful sister. Welcome to the family Ty, and congratulations to you both!

I don’t remember exactly how I met Dre Cashh, but it was definitely Fall 2011 on the campus of Florida A&M University for sure. Then and even now, this guy is definitely one of the most mellow-tempered individuals I know. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen him visibly angry or upset and that’s something I admire. It’s definitely tough to pick one good memory to touch on. It’s been a long 10 years, but NiteKap Spring 2K14 probably takes the cake. We both lost a lot of followers that night but we had a blast. Our first time at the Flite for his 21st birthday is up there too. We turned out okay though. Learned our limits and still graduated with honors. I love both Dre & Ty so much. I’m honored to be able to witness this union firsthand and to have them both in my life.

Freshman year at Florida A&M blessed me with a brother in De’Andre (a.k.a. Cashh a.k.a. Montana) which was huge for me because I’m an only child. Our college years have provided us with so many memories that I am 100% certain that we did undergrad the right way. I have stories from us being roommates (508 Boys), attending parties, Set Friday and so many other classic moments. One memory I cherish deeply is the time I suggested we go to Panama City Beach for a day trip where he met the love of his life, Tyonna. As time progressed after that trip, it became clear that Ty was the one for him. You two deserve nothing but happiness and to enjoy your special day to the fullest! I am extremely thankful to be apart of such an amazing ceremony for a couple that I truly adore. Love you both always.

Dré and I first crossed paths in high school, I remember him always being the life of the party and just being a cool dude. We both went on to attend FAMU and ended up being roommates every year I was there besides my freshmen year and even that year, our rooms were randomly side by side. Throughout my time at FAMU, I could always count on Dre to lighten up the mood and put everybody in good spirits. I’m so happy that we took that impulse day trip to PCB and it led us all here. Best wishes to you and Ty!

Cashh and I met through a mutual friend after she heard that we would both be attending FAMU. We started linking up shortly after realizing we went to the same high school. Cashh is somebody I knew I would be cool with because he is 100% himself and I am too. He doesn’t mind the limelight, is a great spades partner, and always down for a move! One memory that I will never forget is having our DC Happy Hour on Bass St. when you hung out of the window singing “IT'S BOUT TO BE A SUGE NIGHT!” When I started hearing about Ty, I thought to myself, “I’m losing one of my party boys.” Then I met her and realized just how wrong I was, because she turns up right along with him. So cheers, to an amazing couple with great chemistry and energy. I’m excited to witness your journey, congratulations!

I've known Tyonna since the day I was born and can wholeheartedly say that I could not have possible dreamed of a better big sister. She brings joy and a smile to our family's life on a daily basis. The first time I met Cashh was at Thanksgiving a few years back, but it wasn't until Alani's gender reveal that I got the chance to really to talk with him and get to know him. That was when I first started to look at him as an older brother - someone who could not only bring my sister happiness, but also teach me a few things as well. It is my honor to welcome Cashh into the family as my brother-in-law, and I hope you guys have a great relationship whose love withstands the test of time.
