Zawayna & Maurice
Our Beautiful Wedding Party
Zakeisha Shivers
Maid of Honor
My beautiful big sister, one of the first people to ever meet me in life. You've been nothing short of amazing to me since we were children. When I think of our childhood, I cannot help but to think of the motherly comfort you've always given off. Thank you so much for choosing to be my maid of honor and being such a beautiful soul. I remember when you first found out I had a boyfriend (Mo) haha, you were one of the first who wanted to meet him. You've supported us from the very start, and we are forever grateful for you! Love you endlessly, sis. <3
Zaneisha Parham
Maid of Honor
My older sissy Neisha! It wasn't until we got older that we realized how much alike we truly are. You have always been an amazing role model for me, from how you did your hair when we were younger, all the way to striving and attending a university. I've always looked up to you in more ways than one. Thanks for setting the bar high on what it looks like to not only strive for success, but to also be successful. You are loved always <3.
Cydney Henderson
Bridesmaid
We met at ASU freshman year and have been inseparable ever since! From being babies and traveling around the country, we've experienced so many memories. You are one of the most selfless people I know and I'm forever grateful for you, Cyd. Thank you for constantly reaching out during this wedding season and offering your help anyway you can and for planning the most amazing bachelorette a girl could have! You're stuck with me! <3
Onnika Scott
Bridesmaid
My baby cousin, Nika! You are such a sweet soul to this world. Your intelligence, wit, and energetic personality is what I love most about you. So grateful to be your big cousin and so very grateful that you're apart of the tall woman cousin club lol. Thank you for being apart of this life changing journey and all of your support. Cousins by blood, friends by choice! <3
Keyv'onna Scott
Bridesmaid
My older cousin by two weeks and three days, Pooh. Both of us being Capricorns can explain the difference of a December Cap and a January Cap (lol). For as long as I can remember, you've always been the sweetest soul. We have so many childhood memories that I will cherish forever. Thank you for never going too long without checking in on me and seeing how life is going. You mean so much to me! <3
Lizbeth Herrera
Bridesmaid
Lizbeth! I will never forget you being the very first friend I had when moving to a new school in 5th grade. You were a wild one and probably only wanted to be my friend to get me in trouble with you (haha), but we've been tight ever since. It could explain why when you ran away from home, our place was the first spot your mom checked aha. Thank you for staying connected with me even when moving states. It's a forever thang!
Samantha Lopez
Bridesmaid
The Suave! We met from club volleyball days as youngsters. You hated to jump but somehow loved the sport lol. You gave me a ride home one day and we've been tight ever since. We've had so many memories, many of them simply being sitting in parked cars dying laughing. You are one of the most giving spirits I know. Thank you for always lending a hand, always coming with gifts when you come to visit, and planning the most amazing bachelorette a girl could ask for! I'm forever grateful for you <3
Mae Frazier
Bridesmaid
Mae Mae! My high school best friend! I saw you plenty of times at McDonalds on Central ave before we attended the same high school and finally had the same class lol. We instantly clicked and have been inseparable since. You always know the right words to say and have the best advice. I was so sad when you moved (although you were prepping me by leaving me alone at lunch to ditch lol). But we haven't missed a beat. Thank you for loving me and staying connected for all of these years. You mean so much to me girl! <3

Mr. Hubba Lane words can't explain the intricate impact you have had on my life from a mentor aspect to being an overall solid role-model.

Keep doing what you do sir this is only the beginning. Cheers to more life!!!

Keep believing in yourself and elevating. Cheers to more life!!!
