Bridesmaids: What makes them so special

Friends and family is what life is all about. And when I look at my bridal party, it represents that. I have shared some special moments with each of them over the years and I’m proud to have them stand with me on our special day.

Maid of Honor: Candace Duke

Candace and I

By thirty days she trumps me as being my “older cousin”. We are thick as thieves. She’s not only my best friend but a true sister.

Bridesmaid: Deborah Greene

Deborah and I

Best Friend since the 10th grade and as it turns out our families have been friends for years! She is truly my sister and Best Friend Forever!

Bridesmaid: Dr. Adia Garrett-Butler

Adia and I

My younger cousin by two months, but has managed to graduate, marry and get her doctorate before me. Such an inspiration!

Bridesmaid: Christy Duke

Being that I am an only Child she has appointed herself as my “sister cousin” We also share in the joy of being ‘brides to be’ together!

Bridesmaid: Pauline Lugira

Looking "fiercely and wonderfully" made!
