My Sistah! My first love! I love this woman to infinity and beyond. We've been best friends since typing class in 8th grade. Back then typing class consisted of actual type writers, so you know it's real! LoL! She's the fun, feisty, outgoing one and I'm calm, cool and just go with the flow. We're a match made in heaven!

Ah, The LaStarr Master Piece! We grew up together and she has always been a positive influence and inspiration to my life. We've shared so many good times and she has taught me so much. My wedding day will be an opportunity for us to create and share more great memories and I am so looking forward to it!

Yene konjo! My Ethiopian Princess! Rose has always been such a sweet person to me and she has a really good heart. She introduced me to Ethiopian food, which I love, and for that I am eternally grateful! LoL! She is a beautiful woman, inside and out, and I am honored to have her as my bridesmaid!

My Sista from another Mista! Ashley and I met while working at TGIFriday's. She's like my little sister and I love her to pieces. I can talk to her about absolutely anything and we always have a great time together. I am so blessed to have her in my life!

My Model! Toni and I met when Tae introduced me to his family in 2008. Her fun personality and sense of humor quickly drew me to her. Whenever we get ready to go out, I'm her makeup artist/hair dresser/stylist and I make sure that she always looks amazing because that's what I do! LoL! We always have a great time together and we've definitely collected some interesting memories over the years! LoL! 

My Mini Me! Iris is one of my favorite little cousins. Whenever I come to Detroit people always say we look alike. Which is definitely a compliment. She's so beautiful and so intelligent. I am so glad to be able to share my special day with her by my side!

My Beautiful Cousin! Ashley is also one of my favorite cousins. She is so sweet and she has such a fun and happy personality. I am so proud to see the wonderful woman/wife/mother that she has become. I look up to her in so many ways!

My Birthday Twin! Ja'nae is my little sister and she was born on my 16th birthday. She was the best gift that I could ever ask for. Its amazing to watch her grow into the beautiful young lady that she is becoming. I look forward to spending my special day with her by my side!

My New Little Sister! Diamond will officially be my sister-in-law, after the wedding but I already call her my sister. She has such a great personality and I am enjoying watching her grow into a beautiful young woman. I am so glad that she will be by my side on our wedding day!

My Little Divas! Morgan and Madison are my gorgeous little cousins and they are going to make the most beautiful little flower girls ever!

One of the only friendships I have that has withstood the test of time is with this guy. For twelve years and counting Chris and I have had a great friendship that has strengthened greatly over time. There is a saying that "People come in your life for a reason or for a season" and with my this guy, my brother from another, I think the "reason" is to show me what loyalty in a true friend looks like and I don't think the "season" will ever be over. I'm proud to call Chris my friend and I'm honored to have him as my Best Man.

Mr. Sean Samuel  or "Sam" , as he is known to others, is my closest sibling. We have literally been through it all together and have made it through having each other's back the whole way (minus a little sibling rilvary lol). He is a strong individual who, despite being younger than me, has actually given me the courage and strength to push through some of lifes most challenging moments. I love him dearly and am proud to have watched him grow into the man he is today. My wedding party wouldn't be complete without this guy by my side.

Nick and I have a friendship that has spanded over the last six years and counting which over time has made us more like brothers than friends. His friendship has great value to me as he is always one to tell me "how it is" rather than what I want to hear, yet he sticks by my side no matter what. He is a great hearted man who's ambition keeps me inspired to acheive greatness in my own life as well as to keep like minded people in my inner circle. Im grateful that he is blessing me with his presence by my side on my wedding day.

Darius is almost like my lil protege'. He is a young man who I have known for only a couple of years but took a liking to almost instantly. He has a drive in him that reminds me of myself when I was in my early twenties and a loyalty about him that is to be charished by anyone who is lucky enough to know someone of his caliber. A humble individual and an all around good person I'm glad to have him by my side to share my wedding day with me.

Another friendship that I have that has lasted for ages and has remained intact through all that life has thrown at it is with Jameel. We have known each other since 9th grade, however our bond really started to grow after high school when similar career interests brought us closer than we could have previously imagined. Since then, we have developed a brotherly like bond that has great value to me. I was a groomsmen in his wedding and I'm honored that he is returning the favor by being apart of mine.

My west side connection! Since my first trip to California to meet Starr's side of the family Andrew has accepted me open heartedly as his new brother and treated me like nothing less. I've had nothing but good times when I'm on the west coast and this guy is one of the people who sees to it that I do! I've enjoyed being apart of Starrs' family over the years and I look forward to continuing the bond and relationship that I have with them and my new bro.

Andre is another person who sees to it that I have a great time whenever Starr and I visit California. He's one of my new brothers as well and I've been proud to have him as one since day one. Always seeing to it that Starr and I have a few good laughs while visiting, I think our wedding would be missing that touch of comedy all good family gatherings have without him apart of it. 

This guy here is my lil twin! He thinks that he is me soo much so that he has even made claim to my woman, who I constantly have to remind him is MY woman and not his lol. He has been a joy to have in my life since the day he was born and I am honored to have a chance to be a role model in this young man's life. He is the funniest and most witty addition to my family and is sure to make my wedding day even more special than it ever would be without him.  

Javon is the coolest little guy I've met on the West Coast thus far. He is always full of energy and a good sport no matter the occasion. He too is another brother that I have gained from my California side of the family and I have enjoyed watching him grow up and being able to be apart of his life. I am honored to have him be a Ring Bearer for the Samuel wedding.
