Growing up, my family was very close. And we are not just talking about your typical immediate family members. We’re talking about my aunts, uncles, 1st, and 2nd cousins, then my mother’s cousins and my mother’s cousins, cousins. Alot, right? Well, needless to say I was blessed to grow up with a lot of people which I love and still cherish to this day.

My beautiful cousin Aisha (my mother’s cousin’s daughter) was married this May to a sweet charming man, John. Although we’ve lost connection at some point of growing up, I was beyond happy that we’ve recently connected. I had a chance to welcome the new member of our family and reunite with old ones. The day was filled with happy tears, smiles and love.

Thank you Aisha and John for not only allowing me to be a guest to your special day, but giving me the honor of being a part of it. Now a little peek into a beautiful wedding — one that I hold very dear to my heart.
