My Girls

It was really hard for me to choose people to be in the wedding. I really don't have a lot of close friends and I really wanted people to be apart of this that would have my back and be apart of mine and Floyd's lives for years to come. To this day I'm not as close to all of them as I would like to be, but I trust them and love them. Each of them knows a different side of me. Each relationship is unique. But love is multifaceted.

I wanted to take this opportunity to show some love to the girls that are showing their love for me. All my whining and indecisiveness, well if you know me... :) I am honored and blessed that they agreed to be apart of this day with me. I am already forever grateful. To them and God. Who would have ever thought?

Here's the girls that will have my back and all four sides on my wedding day. I genuinely love and appreciate them. I'm looking forward to growth, kids, and long laughs on the porch when we get old.

Jasmine, the eccentric, the loyal.

Jasmine and I are cousins. We were both in different places in our lives for a long time, but we ended up at the Well together, broken and ready to be fixed. I've watched God change her life (literally) and in the process our relationship has grown as well. She has a heart for God that no one will ever quite understand. She's extremely funny and so much fun to be around. She will keep our spirits light with her jokes and her demon slaying!

Raylina, the lover, the fighter.

Raylina is my God sister. We shared a couch bed in high school. I've seen her go through so much in her life, but never seen her bow, throw in the towel or even entertain the thought of giving up. She's the closest thing I've had to a sister. I love her. What else can I say? I know if anything ever went down, she would always be in my corner doing whatever she could to help. What else is family for?

Dahlia, the poet, the iceberg.

We met a few years ago at Georgetown. I'm happy we had the chance to meet again because I was given the opportunity to know her. This girl's walk tells a story. She's like a living storybook. When I say she's an iceberg, it's because there's so much to her, but you don't know it because it's underneath the surface. I love the lightness of her spirit. She's easy like Sunday morning. Beautiful, smart, and very unique.

Angelica, the free spirit, the beloved.

This is my soul sistah! We met back in 2004 when I joined the dance team. She always seemed so free, so fun. I don't know when our relationship picked up, but I always looked up to her because she had that special, unique relationship with God that most of us only dream about. Angelica can see past the stuff I use to block people out and pinpoint exactly what's going on with me. And she doesn't stop there. She'll pray me through. Priceless!



Ashley, the artist, the silent killer.

Ashley and I met through Antonio back in 2005. She's an individual, strong and able to take charge. She's so small and quiet, I always thought she was fragile. Truth is, I'm the one that's fragile. She's encouraged me and been a true example when it comes to being your own person, and living to the beat of your own drum, not someone else's. I admire her character and I am blessed to know her. Not to mention the fact that she's beautiful and talented!!
