I first met Vinee when she tried to befriend me because she had a crush on my brother. Little did I know, that crush would turn into a lifelong love! They've been together since high school and now have two wonderful sons, ages 23 and 26. Over the years, Vinee and I have built our own incredible bond. She’s truly the sweetest person I know, always so kind and caring to everyone in her life. I’m so lucky to have her by my side today as my Matron of Honor.
Arlene McCain - Bridesmaid
I met Arlene nearly 20 years ago while working at Ralph Lauren, and she’s been by my side ever since. I’m so blessed to have her as a friend. Arlene is a true fashionista with a kind heart, always bringing beauty and balance into every situation, just like the Libra she is. Her thoughtful and caring nature makes her such a special part of my life, and I’m so excited to have her stand with me as a bridesmaid.
Kat Davis - Bridesmaid
I met Kat while we were working together at Ralph Lauren with the Men's Brands, and she quickly became someone I admire. She has an amazing knack for finding the best deals (she never pays full price!), but her best quality is her thoughtfulness. Kat never misses an opportunity to celebrate her friends and family, and she’s deeply committed to giving back, especially through her generous donations to animal rescue efforts. I'm so grateful to have her as a bridesmaid.
Lauri LaPier - Bridesmaid
I met Lauri, or as her close friends call her, Lala, while we were working at Ralph Lauren. We shared an office, where we bonded over Motown music and shared daily laughs—and, of course, a few complaints that came with the job! Lala and I have always been two peas in a pod, and I know we’ll always be there for one another. I’m so blessed to have her as a friend and to have her by my side as a bridesmaid.
Christian & George - Groomsmen
My boys, Christian and George, are the light of my life. Christian, now 17, is growing into such a thoughtful and strong young man, while George, at 13, brings endless joy and laughter into our home. They are both kind, intelligent, and full of heart, and I’m incredibly proud of the people they are becoming. Watching them grow has been one of my greatest blessings, and I’m so lucky to be their mom.
Andre Shaw - Groomsman
Andre is the youngest child of one of my 5 sisters, Claire. He has a kind heart and is very caring. I've enjoyed taking him t 's games in the past. I look forward to taking him more in the future. It's exciting to see this young man's future. I know he'll no doubt create an amazing life for himself.
Paul
Paul Callow Sr. - Best man
My father, who I have known since birth, has taught me a lot about myself. My love for sports, especially football (soccer for you Yanks) and my British heritage. My father has always been there for me and has a good heart, cheeky sense of humor, and an ability to find the fun side of every situation.
