Nicole Eze
Maid of Honor

My sweet Ada,

We've known each other as family friends since we were young, but you really became my sister as the years passed by. Aside from Ose, you are the second most person I speak to, almost daily! Living in Los Angeles was the big climax of our sisterhood. You never made me feel out of place or uncomfortable and you alway made my happiness a priority. You genuinely want the best for me and it's obvious to see. Thinking back at all of our memories, the good the bad the lows and the high, we always remained strong. There is not one thing I could not tell you. You literally know me from the inside out, all my secrets, all my flaws. You are such a loyal person and I would go over and beyond to be there for you, always and forever. I can't thank God enough for allowing our paths to meet.  I am honored and overjoyed to have you as my maid of honor.

My Doll, my sister-in-love

Curtis made the right decision marrying you, and I can thank him everyday if I could. I've never had a sister growing up and it really hurt, not knowing that down the line God would blessed me with you, a big sister at that! Everything I prayed for in a sister, when I was younger, I got in you. I mean the whole 9-yards, sharing clothes and food! You are amazing, beyond words. I know if I ever need someone for any type of help, I could count on you. You know the right words and jokes to get me through the day. Your vibe makes my down-to-Earth energy leap for joy. Whenever you're in a room, your energy and smile overfills the atmosphere. I'm not sure what's more beautiful, your face or your soul? Thank you so much for being there for me whenever I needed you. We've grown so much together during the years and there's not one milestone, event, or celebration in my life that I couldn't see you not being apart of. I pray that you know each day how much you mean to me. I love you so much!

My sister-in love,
You were the first in law to enter our family, and never once did I feel like you weren't the right fit. You came into my life and we instantly hit it off! From make-up to food to clothes and shoes, we had so much in common, I could just talk to you about anything. Being pregnant was a tough time for me, but it was like God knew what he was doing when our pregnancy was timed together. I had someone to speak to, give me reassurance, and completely understand me during the stressful and painful times. We shared a different kind of bond during during that period that made me value your strength and support even more. Whenever I needed help and guidance, I knew you were just a call away and ready to tell me what's real while drying my tears away. Thank you for being an amazing person. You are everything I prayed for in a sister when I was younger. You're a living testimony that confirms God truly answer prayers. Love you so much sis!

My fashionista, my dancer, my sister.  Since Middle school, you have been down for me, through thick and thin. We instantly connected and I just can't express how much you have influenced who I am today. From Dulles Dolls (143) to going away to college, and til today, we have never disconnected, we have never split. Our friendship has alway stayed strong no matter the distance, no matter the time. I can count on you to help me with my outfits and I can count on you when I need a shoulder to cry on. You've always been so intelligent in every aspect of life and I've always looked up to you. You are admired by so many people, and its evident why. I'm just lucky to tell these people "that's my sis!" Thank you for always being by my side through all my milestones, all my mistakes. Our friendship is one that I will always cherish and keep close to me. Thank you for being apart of our wedding.

My shorty, My riddah!

Didn't like you in elementary school, lord I didn't care for you lol but who knew middle school would change the game for our friendship, and high school would make it even stronger. It was a done deal that we lived in the same neighborhood-that right there, made us inseparable. Even when the JAC crew and Juicy crew faded, we still remained friends. Every time I think about our Jack in the Box trip and our unsuccessful trip to the mall in the Falls, I can't help but giggle. And let's not get started about our trip to South Padre. Lord we have sooo many memories, and every time with you was an adventure to remember. It was never a dull moment with you. I don't think anyone makes me  laugh more than you, and I'm not sure If I could ever continue life without you. Your friendship is definitely worth fighting for and I hope you understand how much you mean to me. You've held it down for me for years, through everything we've been through and I can't thank you enough.

My designer babes, 

Our friendship is one of my newest, but definitely one that I value. I knew you would be a great friend when I first met you because I saw so much of you in me. You're always one step ahead of me in life and it makes me value all your advice and opinions when I ask.  You were there at the perfect timing when I found out Ava was not doing well and me having to be induced. You helped me prepare for induction and was there right after my delivery. That support was what I needed at that hard time, and it came from you- for that I am forever grateful. I know when I want to get dressed up for no reason and go eat, I can count on you and I know when I need help or a shoulder to lean on, I can count on you more. Your dedication and drive is so mesmerizing and it makes me want to go get it! Thank you for being an amazing friend and sister, new but true.

My pageant queen

A childhood family friend turned sister. I've always looked up to you, you were a big reason why I started pageants. Your grace, your dedication made me admire you to the point I started competing myself.  You've been like a role model to me in every aspect of life. We don't always talk, but when we do, its never awkward and it's always back to where we left off, filled with laughter and joy. It's been a blessing to see us grow from the girls we once were. I'm so proud of this point in our lives and I'm happy to be going through this thing called life with you. I can't wait to pinch your cheeks for forever and a day.

My nursing friend, 
I moved to Dallas having no friends, then you came along when I started nursing school. I not only met a classmate that helped me succeed in school, but I also made a friend that I could continue life with. When I felt alone, you were there, when I felt like enjoying, you were there, and when I was at some of my lowest, you were there. We have so much history and memories together, I will always cherish. If I explained how our friendship went through so much growth, others would be amazed. I'm so proud of you, so proud of where we are in life and I'm grateful to continue all these milestones with you by my side. From broken hearts to now meeting our true loves, I am honored to have you in my wedding just as much as being in yours. Here's to many more milestones that will be reached, side by side.

My travel partner, my God sister

I've known about you since I was younger but it wasn't until 2015 that you became someone special to me. We became friends while traveling the world. From Jamaica to Canada to Mexico, we really enjoyed and lived, together! There's never a dwell moment with you and every time we are together I cherish every second. I don't need a large group of friends when I know I have a friend like you that constantly reminds me of all the times she is there for me in every way possible. You are a breath of fresh air and your smile gives me warmth. I would continue to take all the pictures of you for life, if it means having you by my side forever. Thank you for always checking up for me, thank you for always encouraging me. Love you boo!

CANDO! God knew what he was doing when he brought us together. My comedian, my gutta bish, my person to call on for anything. You are THE perfect woman for my brother, and the perfect sister for me. Since we've met its been nothing but supporting each other. True happiness whenever I see you excel in life, whenever I see you happy. You have been such a great friend and have been there for me every step of the way in such a short time of knowing each other. Your vibe and energy is contagious. Adding you to our family has been a blessing, and I'm not even talking about having someone else to beat in UNO. I mean a true blessing to have such a pure and genuine person apart of the team! I love you so much and can not wait to have my hype woman by my side at the alter!

Though we are not blood, we are blood. Brothers from different mothers. Ose and I have known each other since we knew how to talk. We basically raised each other. When he introduced me to Uju initially I thought they made a great match. They compliment each other very well, and want the best for each other. When Ose told me he was ready to settle down with his better half I was ecstatic for them. I couldn’t believe it, my bro is finally tying the knot to his true love! Words can’t express how happy I am for them! I wish them the best marriage and the best life together! Sooowooo

What can I say about Ose aka Kaptan. That's my guy, we've put a lot of work in out here... And that's on G, if you know you know. We started early, we were young boys making moves. I luv the Kaptan because all we talk about is making money and success. We share goals, aspirations, and core values. I am excited that my guy has found his true queen and can't wait to see them embrace in life together. Chode

Ose Ose Ose....my guy, what can I say? It’s truly been a joy getting to know you and your family thus far. What’s more of a joy is the happiness you bring to my little sister. Ever since she mentioned you to me, it’s been life changing ever since. I appreciate the effort you show and the love you bring to the family. I pray you continue to put God first and you strive for greatness individually, and for your entire family as a whole. Much love my brother.
P.S. thank you for my beautiful niece!! I’m forever indebted.

Ose is one of my close friends and someone I've known for a long time. I've been friends with him through the ups and the numerous downs. I've seen him go through many challenges, challenges that would cripple most people but he has been able to come out a stronger more mature man. I am happy that he's finally found the love of his life,Uju, and I am happy that he's been blessed with two amazing children. I am proud of the man he has become and I'm excited for the great future that awaits him.

For Ose..

He's always been one of the most solid guys I've ever met. I just hope his wife can teach him some style, help him grow like getting rid of that Android and finding him a jump shot. I wish you and Caroline nothing but the best. Treat her right and pass on the values to your two children that made me respect you bro. I love you fam and congrats on your marriage.

My dear friend Oseoboh has been a genuine & real dude since day one! We’ve done a lot of growing up together & I'm happy to see the trajectory our lives are taking whilst still being able to maintain our brotherhood. I am grateful! There are a lot of things I admire about my friend especially his ability to stay cool, calm & collected. I’m happy in his selection of his queen; an Igbo sister of great repute & a fellow IMOlite as well. I have been there from the beginning & have watched their love season; it’s an honor to be connected to this relationship. God bless your union ~ Don Ruji

Osé and I met in 2003 when I moved across the street from him and his family. We started out as friends, but soon became brothers, and have remained such ever since middle school.
We became fathers the same year, just two weeks apart. I've witnessed his growth as a man, a father to Isaiah and Ava and Godfather to my daughter Mia.
The first time I spoke to Uju over the phone, I was immediately sold. She simply overflows with genuine goodness. I have never seen my brother this happy and flourishing, and I know that she is to thank for that.
I know their union will be blessed, a blessing and a force to be reckoned with. I am beyond proud of them both and look forward to watching their family blossom and prosper.
Love you guys!

I’ve always been over protective of my sister and therefore I already had my guard up when my sister told me that she had a new boyfriend. In my head I already had predetermined that I wasn’t going to like you lol. Once I met you I still had my reservations about you just because I’m stubborn in general. Within a few weeks, I got stranded during the hurricane and luckily was able to escape the flood by staying at your house. You took me in as if we had been family forever even though I trashed you and  Zae, in Madden lol. During those few days our bond grew and you quickly became my brother. By the end of my stay there, I knew my sister was in great hands and couldn’t be any more proud to have you a part of our family. May God continue to bless both of y’all in an abundance of happiness, health, prosperity and success. You know whatever you need, I got you. We’re locked in for life my brother.

To my brother Ose,

The time has finally come my guy! I know we haven't known each other since the sandbox but honestly it feels like we have. You are every part of my family as if you were my own sibling. Watching your relationship grow with my sister has been a blessing to watch. Can't wait to see what God has in store for yawl. I couldn't' be any happier. Now I got another brother to talk cars, sports, and day to day life with, not to mention a lifetime to continue to beat you in pool, flag football (cause my defense is lock down) and to whatever other sport you think you're good at! All the "Ls" you will have with me won't amount to the "W" you will have on your wedding day with my baby sis! Proud of you both and my God continue to shower blessings on your Union

Love you bro!

Where can I actually start when I talk about my brother Ose... Honestly, it's hard to put in words what he means to me as my friend. We are talking about over a decade of friendship and a lifetime to go. We've had our friendship tested at different times in our lives, but I could never question his loyalty, selflessness, and genuine kind heart. He's been there for me at my lowest points and showed me what a true friend should truly be. Everything he has he deserves and more... I'm truly blessed to have him as my friend/brother.

P.S. somebody get this man an iPhone he's still struggling with an Android. Out here looking like someone old ass uncle.
