Reception

Our Wedding

It all began in June 2022 with a simple message. Yes, Bree slid into Diamond’s DMs (lol). What started as a playful spark quickly turned into something real. From the very beginning, they spent hours talking every day, building a connection grounded in yhumor, honesty, and shared dreams. A few weeks later, they met in person for the first time in Los Angeles. That unforgettable weekend was filled with day parties, romantic rooftop dinners, and laughter at Wild 'N Out. It was the kind of weekend that confirmed what they already felt in their hearts: this was something special. Although they began as a long-distance couple, love didn’t mind the miles. Diamond made long drives to see Bree, while Bree caught flights to be close. In August 2023, they moved in together and started creating a home full of love, laughter, and movie nights quoting Austin Powers and Big Momma’s House. Their schedules have always been busy and ever-changing, but they’ve never stopped prioritizing each other. From quiet mornings with coffee and R&amp;B playlists to Friday night movie dates and cross-country trips to visit family and friends, their relationship has remained full of intention and care. On their three-year anniversary, June 19, 2025, Bree proposed during dinner at The Omni Resort Steakhouse. With the help of the staff, who were all in on it, Bree got down on one knee and asked Diamond to spend forever together. It was a moment neither of them will ever forget. They still smile about the first “I love you,” which Bree casually slipped out while they were laughing in the car. Diamond’s heart skipped a beat, but she said it right back without hesitation. Now, with hearts full of gratitude, Bree and Diamond are ready to say “I do” and continue writing their love story filled with joy, adventure, and unwavering love.

Our Story

#TheNewlyWoods

"Steffy and I go way back to 2014 when we first met working in housing, and instantly bonded over late-night apps at Applebee’s. From the beginning, she’s had a powerful impact on my life, helping me find my voice (and trust me, if you’ve ever heard her go off, you’d know exactly what I mean lol). We’ve traveled the world together, from Puerto Rico to the Dominican Republic to St. Lucia, and stood by each other through the hardest parts of growing into adulthood. I had the honor of being her Maid of Honor, and now I’m beyond proud to have her as my Matron of Honor. No matter how far time or distance may take us, she’s always been and will always be family." -Diamond

Steffy

"My Auntie Monique and I have always shared a special bond. With a 12-year age gap, our relationship has grown into a true friendship over the years. She’s always been a role model to me, handling business, taking care of family, and showing up with strength and grace. She’s one of the biggest reasons I was inspired to become an entrepreneur. Having her beside me on my special day is an honor, and a full-circle moment I’ll always treasure."  -Bree

Monique

"Ta’Shira isn’t just my little sister. She is my greatest achievement. I’ve been by her side since the day she was born, and helping raise her into the incredible young woman she is today has been one of the biggest honors of my life. I’m so proud to watch her follow her dreams at Tuskegee, studying Veterinary Science. Having her stand beside me on Diamond and I big day means the world, and I wouldn’t want to do this without her." - Bree

Ta'Shira

Shareil and I have been close since the beginning. We were always together growing up, cousins who had endless sleepovers at Grandma’s house and made memories that still make us laugh. She’s passionate, loving, genuine, and one of the most resilient people I know. All through elementary school, it felt so good knowing I had a big cousin I could talk to about anything, and the one who always had my back, even if it meant eating the vegetables I secretly snuck onto her plate (lol). Honestly, I don’t think we’ve ever had an argument. She’s always been someone I could count on, and I’ve always admired the strength she carries through life. I’m so grateful to have her beside me on my special day.

Shareil

"Destiny has been my mini-me since the day she was born. I helped raise her, but she’s been my best friend, my mirror, and my heart from the very start. Watching her grow has been one of the greatest joys of my life. We’ve shared laughs that turned into full-on cackles, late-night talks about life and everything in between, and a bond that can’t be broken, no matter the distance. Destiny is wise beyond her years and has a way of making everyone around her feel supported, especially me. She was one of the first family members to come visit me in Tucson, and having her there reminded me that no matter where I go, home is wherever we are together. She’s not just my baby cousin, but my built-in best friend. And I’ll always be her biggest fan." – Diamond

Destiny

"Prince is my baby brother and forever BeBe Kid. He’s my go-to for murder mystery games and full-blown Rock Band concerts in the living room. He’s chill by nature, but once you really know him, that humor and personality come out, and when it does, it's gold. Growing up with Prince meant never having a dull moment. From creating random Wii characters and doing Just Dance routines in the den, we’ve always shared a bond that’s part sibling, part best friend, and part comedy duo. Prince also has one of the the biggest hearts. He’ll make you laugh until you cry, then turn around and check on you when you’re down without even needing to be asked. He’s grown so much, but at his core, he’s still that same little brother who can light up my day just by being himself. There’s no one like him, and honestly, I wouldn’t want there to be." – Diamond


Prince

"Kalita is my big sister and one of the strongest people I know. We grew up together and held each other down through thick and thin. I wouldn't be me without her. She’s my protector and the one who always knows when something’s wrong, even when I haven’t said a word. Kalita has always shown out for me, every birthday, every graduation, she’s been front and center, cheering me on, celebrating me louder than anyone in the room. And if I ever say I’m craving some empanadas? You better believe she’s making them with love, no questions asked.  Kalita is bold, unapologetic, and full of life. She’s taught me the meaning of loyalty and resilience, and I’m endlessly grateful to walk through life with her by my side." - Diamond

Kali

"Alyssa and I met during my grad school days, when she was one of my RAs, but our connection quickly became so much more. Whether it was midnight heart-to-hearts or just surviving life together, she’s the definition of loyal and grounded. Alyssa has this way of making you feel safe and seen.  No judgment, just presence. We’ve cried together, laughed until we couldn’t breathe, and supported each other through some of the hardest and most defining seasons of our lives. She’s the person I can call when everything is falling apart, or when everything is finally falling into place, and she shows up with the same love every time.  What started as a supervisor relationship turned into one of the most authentic and unshakable friendships I’ve been blessed with." – Diamond

Alyssa

Roneisha and I met in 2018 while working at GEO in Adelanto, and let’s just say, we didn’t exactly hit it off right away. But over time, I realized she was someone I could truly trust and count on. She had my back then, and she still does now. And listen... she is funny AF. She doesn’t even try, she’s just being herself and somehow has everyone cracking up. Her energy, loyalty, and realness have meant so much to me, and I’m so glad to have her beside me on my special day.

Roneisha

"Paige and I became best friends back in 2019 when we were Area Coordinators at the University of Scranton, and life had even bigger plans when we both ended up at the University of Arizona. We became dog moms, quarantine warriors, and forever friends, surviving Covid with Twisted Teas, Power Hours, and intense games of Phase 10. She’s the one I know I can call for absolutely anything, my person through it all." - Diamond

Paige

"Deidre and I became friends back in 2006, during a time when I truly felt like I had no one. She showed up for me when I needed a friend the most, and we’ve been holding each other down ever since. From the rough adolescent years (lol) to the women we are today, her loyalty has never wavered. She’s a true ball of sunshine, always thinking positive, living life to the fullest, and putting her whole heart into her friendships. Deidre has a way of making everyone around her feel beautiful, celebrated, and genuinely seen. I’m so lucky to have her love and light by my side." - Diamond

Deidre

Ayisa was my very first friend when I moved to Arizona, and from the jump, I knew she was someone special. She’s smart, funny, young, charismatic, and genuine, the kind of person who simply can’t be a fake bitch (and honestly, that’s exactly why we clicked). What you see is what you get with Ayisa, and what you get is someone full of light, realness, and heart. I’m so thankful our paths crossed, and even more thankful to have her beside me on my special day.

Ayisa

"Jayla and I have known each other since we were babies, we even had the same Barney bookbag (lol). She’s my goofy, Broadway-loving partner who’s always down to sing through life with me. We lived together for years during high school and later made even more memories at Montclair State University. Jayla has always supported me through every chapter of life, cheering me on through every success, so you can only imagine her reaction when Bree and I got engaged! She has a heart of gold and a spirit that shines, and I’m so lucky to call her my sis."  - Diamond

Jayla

"Ogechi and I have been best friends since 2006. From sports to spontaneous musicals of Rent in my living room, our friendship grew with us. We used to spend so much time together over the years, walking miles through town just to grab pizza or chill at a friend’s house, scheming about life, love, and everything in between (including plotting how she was gonna make it to Prom Weekend!). We've been through heartbreaks, glow-ups, and growing pains together, and still, she's one of the most consistent people in my life.  In 2024, I had the honor of standing by her side as she married the love of her life, and that moment was everything. Ogechi is the kind of friend who knows your heart without needing an explanation, who shows up, hypes you up, and keeps it real all at once." – Diamond

Ogechi

"We are so honored to have Cameo officiating our wedding. Her presence is not only meaningful to us, but it also reflects the love, joy, and intentionality we want this day to hold. Cameo has walked alongside us with support and care, and we couldn’t imagine anyone else guiding us as we take this step together. She has truly been the big sister we never knew we needed! She brings both heart and wisdom, and we know her words will make our ceremony truly unforgettable."  -Diamond & Bree

Cameo

"We are beyond grateful to have Erica as a bridesmaid in our wedding. She is such a compassionate and understanding person, and her kindness, steady presence, and genuine spirit embody the love we hope to carry into our marriage. Erica has been an important part of our journey in so many ways, offering encouragement when we needed it most, celebrating our milestones, and reminding us to find joy in the small moments. Whether having a private heart to heart, or a shot of tequila, having her by our side as we enter this new chapter is such a special honor. Her unwavering support and genuine friendship makes our celebration deeply personal and filled with meaning, and we know our day will be brighter because she is part of it."  -Diamond & Bree
