I can’t say enough how
happy Kevin & I are with the choices of our bridal party. I’ll say take your time and choose your
bridal party wisely and not because the person is family or a casual friend. Being in a
bridal party needs dedication, support and just being there for the bride and
groom. I’m not saying to comprise your standards but support is one of the
biggest things you can offer in a bridal party.
Of course voice your opinions but your role isn't to take over the
concept the bride and groom has. We are
pleased to say our bridal party was drama free, stress free, full support at
all times. We are not saying everything has been perfect but the hiccups were
so far and in-between its almost like they never existed. Our first meeting was held in January 2014
and we were alil nervous how everyone would gel and get along. The meeting ended and we just sat and talked for hours like we were all bestie’s who hadn't seen
each other in a while and was catching up. The vibe was great and everyone
messaged us saying they had a great time and the vibe was nice. You don’t know how great Kevin and I felt
because our chosen friends are now our chosen family. We love these guys
dearly.
You guys know I love
photos, so a photo shoot for my bridal party was a given. In addition, it could
act as a practice session as well as memories to last a lifetime. These
pictures typically tell you how our vibe usually is. We are always joking around,
laughing and just having plain old fun. These photos were taken by Himal Reece who is one of the best photographers in Barbados.

Bride: Do you
ladies want real flowers or artificial for your bouquet?
Bridesmaids: Tomi what
ever you want, we are fine with. Matter of fact, we can help make them.
Bride: Really, just wanted
your input.
We always give our bridal
party options and that’s one thing they have communicated to us that they
appreciate from us. Seriously, these group of human beings are the best. We can
call on them to assist, add ideas, opinions, to vent, to chill and the list goes
on.

Let me introduce Karla
& Hadley to you guys. We asked each couple to do a goofy pose. Can you tell
which one it is. I've known Karla for more than a decade and she’s such a kind
soul. We have traveled together, studied together, worshiped together. I can count and call on her anytime. Kevin
has known Hadley from childhood and they have always maintained their friendship
even though Kevin moved out of his childhood neighbourhood.

Let me introduce to you Nikita
& Alain. Out of all the couples
these guys had the most poses and photos. Can you tell their goofy pose? I’ve
known Nikita for more than a decade and she’s such a sweetheart. We have worshiped together, being in a dance
group together and she is my special tour guide when I go up to New York. She
cares for people like no other. Kevin has known Alain from school days and they
always rival about football up to this day. Kevin supports Arsenal and Alain supports
Chelsea.

Let me introduce to you
Ria & Daryl. Ria’s expression in their goofy pose was hilarious, I absolutely
love it. I've known Ria for a very long time and actually call her my lil
sis. When we talk it’s for hours about
anything under the moon. She’s very dear to my heart. We have worshiped together, being in a singing group and she went to school with me as well. She
will go over and beyond for you. Kevin
has known Daryl for quite some time now. They met at his church and kept their
friendship even later on in England where they both studied. We can always
count on Daryl in everything we ask for.

Let me introduce you to
our Maid of Honour Dionne and Best Man Dalmain.
Their interactions are so much fun, as seen in their goofy pose. Dionne
is my longest friend as I’ve known her for 18years. We have never had a fight or stopped talking to each other which is probably strange to some people. She’s
the sis I never had but always wanted. Her heart may seem hard sometimes but
its just like a marsh mellow. She will move the moon for you. We went to school
with each other and that’s how we met. Kevin has known Dalmain from primary
school which is more than 18years and their friendship is one that is filled
with laugher, jokes and having each other’s back.
Dionne & Dalmain |
Here are all of my
bridesmaids and maid of honour. I
absolutely love how well all of these ladies get along and support us.
My Bridesmaids & Maid of Honour |
This is our version of
being goofy.

Here are all the groomsmen
and best man. Never a dull moment with these guys

Did you realize each
couple is color coded? All the ladies are wearing colorful palazzo pants and
plain shirts, while the guys are wearing blue jeans and shirt. Only the top color was to be in the same
color family.
