Jasmine & Marcus

LaShana is my turn up Queen. LaShana and I met many years ago, while working at Ben Taub Hospital. LaShana appeared to be quiet and very mild, until you really get a chance to know her. LaShana is THE definition of a good time. Outside of those good times, she mastered the art of being a great friend. We've shared many laughs, long talks and several tears. It's a joy for her to be apart of such special day and create everlasting memories.

What's a girl without her Bestie? Jerlesa and I met our Sophomore year of high school and the rest is history. Jerlesa and I built an unmatchable bond and I am forever grateful. Going off to college and rooming with my best friend was the most exciting thing ever. We laughed, studied, partied, cried, all while continuing our journey through college. We've gone through life and watched each other grow into very successful women all while continuing to nurture our friendship. We've journeyed life together and I'm excited to have you as my Maid of Honor, and stand next to me as I enter this new phase of life.

Teclesha, my pageant Queen! Teclesha and I met through a mutual friend and instantly connected. We were A LOT alike, and it wasn't until later that we realized that we shared the same zodiac sign. Feisty Leo's! Over the years, Teclesha and I grew extremely close and have supported each other in more ways than anyone could ever imagine. Nursing school, graduate school, law school, you name it. We've been rocking! She is one of the most genuine, reliable people that I've ever met. Not only is Teclesha my "Sissy" she is also the God Mother of my little king, Mars. I definitely couldn't say "I do" without my pageant Queen boo.

My business bestie! Jinaya and I met on an online entrepreneur forum. We shared many ideas, visions and medical advise and the rest is history. Not one day goes by without me speaking to my business bestie. She and I met up for the first time at an award ceremony for our mentor and it sealed the deal. Jinaya is literally my soul sister. She has such a genuine soul and I couldn’t ask for a better friend. When I think my visions are off the rocker, she comes in with the confirmation... every single time. Jinaya started as a colleague and turned into a lifelong friend. We have manifested so much in life, I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without my soul sister.

My spiritual sister! I could write a book about this queen, but I’ll keep it short and sweet. Since day one, Rachae has taken me under her wing, helping guide and protect me, just as a big sister should, our paths are so different but yet very similar. As I embark on this new journey, I look forward to the continued love, guidance and support that she’s always shown! My soul sister for life!

Lauren! My sister-friend... Lauren and I met on a nursing forum wayyyyyy back in the day. We went from sharing nursing school options to sharing life and special events together. Lauren moved to Texas after a few years and the rest was history. We remained thick as thieves and our relationship has continued to flourish. Lauren is one of the most genuine women that I've ever met and one of my biggest cheerleader. She has witnessed my beautiful relationship since day one and it's an honor to have her next to me on my special day. 

The Mason girls is what they call us! Tenecia and I met while working, many years ago. When she and I met, I thought to myself “Oh lord, she’s just as country as I am” lol. Tenecia and I connected and stayed in touch. We’ve shared many trips from Houston to New Orleans and have many more to go! Tenecia blends beautifully with my family, as we all love to party and have a good time. Outside of the good times, Tenecia and I travel the roads of reality together. Through the good and the bad, we’re there for each other. I couldn’t marry my best friend without my big sister by my side.

My Cher Cher! Cherelle and I have been best friends since high school. I changed high schools after spending my entire school career in another district and Cherelle welcomed me. She and I were both quiet, but full of personality at the same time. As life continued, so did we! Cherelle is the mother of my handsome God-Son, Kyler, and an amazing friend! We’ve shared many memories throughout life and I couldn’t imagine not sharing such monumental one with her.

Shona, my Shona!
Shona and I began our nursing journey together at Ben Taub. Shona and I hit it off and have been friends ever since. She’s the soft spoken go getter! We encourage each other to keep going, even when things seem impossible! Shona is a keeper! I love her and happy to share my special day with her.

Where do I begin? Cortney and I met on a work assignment and the rest is history. Cortney is one of the loyal women I’ve met this far. She’s honest, kind and a straightforward Virgo! I love her to pieces! I’m so happy to have her next to me on my big day!
