Mariah my best-friend. To the person that taught me how to be a good friend through the good and bad times. I thank you. Not only have you shown me how to be a good loyal friend but challenged me to never give up on myself and to believe I can become anyone I wanted. You and your family (my family) have always been here for me, encouraging and loving me. Not only that, you've introduced me towards higher education. I will always have a special place in my heart for you. We met in the 7th grade in Spanish class. It is amazing how time flies. Life is better when you're in it. All of those unconditional life long conversations have always been priceless moments. I am honored and forever blessed to have you stand beside me on my special day. I am beyond grateful God has blessed me with you in my life. <3

To have a sister pray for you and over you through the good times and the bad times are hard to come by. I am forever embedded in God for us to cross paths. From me going to Job Corps earning my high school diploma all over again for me to now be in my doctorate program and you have tremendously prayed over this journey with me. I couldn’t and wouldn’t imagine not having you beside me on my wedding day. <3

Marciana, best friend, hairstylist and my spiritual sister. Meeting you in 2023, was a blessing from God. We have been inseparable ever since. The very first event you invited me to was Women Night at City Gate. It came at a time when I needed God in my life more and you did that as a sister and friend. That’s how I know you were special and I needed you in my life. You entered my life at the perfect time when I need you the most. Friends come and go and then you come along with so much uplifting spirit that a soul needs in life. You are so inspiring and always pouring in positivity and light into my light where sometimes I thought was dim. This day couldn’t be possible without you. I am privileged to have you stand beside me on my big day. <3

You are one of the most loyal people I've ever met and I have never had to question you. We have many years and memories together from cursing customers out, crying, laughing and smiling. I couldn't imagine you not standing beside me on my special day. I know you about to get the line lit! <3
