The Broussard Wedding

Daniel Wayne Broussard Jr. and Kelly Nicole Erving, both from families rooted in Pomona, California, may have initially thought their paths crossed by chance, but in truth, their meeting was divinely orchestrated. Their first encounter was brief, a fleeting moment on November 17, 2022, during the Founders’ Day celebration of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. at Raquel’s Jazz Lounge in Rialto, California. A quick greeting, a passing hello, and then they went on with their evening, unaware of the journey that lay ahead. Fate, however, had other plans. In late 2023, their paths crossed again at a National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) event at Raquel’s Jazz Lounge. As Daniel sat in the back, enjoying a cigar and minding his own business, destiny stepped in. A simple conversation with Kelly sparked something special. They exchanged social media information before Kelly left to get her well-earned beauty rest. But Daniel wasn’t about to let the moment slip away. With seamless ease, he initiated a conversation through a direct message, which quickly progressed to exchanging phone numbers. That very night, they talked for two hours, and from that moment on, they haven’t gone a single day without speaking. Kelly, a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and Daniel, a dedicated member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated, bonded over their Greek affiliations. But their connection ran even deeper. During one of their heartfelt conversations, they discovered that their mothers had grown up together, living just down the street from one another. And as if that weren’t enough, they later found out that their fathers had attended school together. In Pomona’s close-knit Black community, where friendships span generations, their love story felt like the continuation of a connection that had been written long before they met. Both Daniel and Kelly are selfless, compassionate individuals who never hesitate to lend a helping hand. They share a deep love for their families, and above all, they keep God at the center of their lives. Beyond love, they genuinely enjoy each other’s presence, a key ingredient in the beautiful journey they are building together. Now, as they step into this next chapter, Daniel and Kelly are overjoyed to celebrate their love with all of you. Mark your calendars for October 25th, and get ready for a night filled with love, joy, and Black excellence. Come celebrate with the Broussards as they embark on this incredible journey together!

Bridesmaids

Tricey , We have shared a special bond since seventh grade. Though we weren’t the closest at first, time has only deepened our friendship, time has turned you into one of the most trusted people in my life. We have shared every phase of life together, the joyful, the challenging, and everything in between. You have been my safe space, someone I can confide in without fear, and knowing my deepest secrets are held with care. When I think of qualities like dependability, trustworthiness, honesty, compassion, understanding, and thoughtfulness, you embody them effortlessly. Your kindness and unwavering support mean the world to me, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else by my side as my right hand. I love you immensely.


La Trice "Tricey" Taylor

Allyson, From the moment, we met as two women drawn to the sisterhood of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., our bond grew into something so much deeper, true friendship. What started as a shared dream became a connection built on love, support, and sisterhood.  You have been the big sister I never had, always there with wisdom, honesty, and the kind of heartfelt conversations that have shaped me into the woman I am today. Having those hard, transparent conversations in life that lead me to where I am today, to be wife. Thank you for showing me what it means to be a devoted wife, an incredible mother, and a woman who thrives in her career—all while carrying yourself with grace and excellence. Your example has inspired me in more ways than I can count.
I’m so grateful to have you by my side on this journey, and I love you dearly.
Skee-Weee! 💕💚


Allyson Johnson

Auri, my twin, my back, our bond has been unbreakable since the moment we became line sisters. No matter what life throws our way, you have always been there, unwavering and ready. No questions asked, just, "Let me know where to be." Your love, support, and loyalty mean everything to me. Thank you for walking this journey by my side. Standing next to you as you said "I do" was a moment I will cherish forever, and I can't wait for us to share even more special memories. I love you endlessly!  

Skee-Weee! 💕💚

Aurea "Auri" Lawson

Jade, our friendship has been a beautiful journey since Kindergarten. From sleepovers and walking to Stater Bros. to getting in trouble with both our parents for hanging out at Danny’s house instead of coming home after school, our memories are endless and priceless. Even when you moved to Spokane, Washington, in seventh grade, nothing changed, we stayed connected as if no distance could ever separate us. You’ve been more than just a friend; we’ve been family. I am beyond grateful to have you by my side through life’s moments, big and small. I love you! 

Jade Butler

Kristin, my beautiful line sister, our friendship has been nothing short of a blessing. You are the one person I can never lock eyes with during chapter meetings because I just know we’ll be in tears laughing! From the moment our paths crossed, we discovered how deeply our upbringings and spirits align, creating a bond that only grows stronger with time. Whether we’re spending hours on the phone, reminiscing, or sharing our silliest moments, distance has never been a barrier, we always pick up right where we left off.  Your presence in my life is truly a gift, and I am so grateful for the kindness, warmth, and unwavering support you bring. Thank you for being a friend I can always count on and for walking this journey with me.  Love you ! Skee-Weee! 💕💚

Kristin Jones

Esh, you are truly one of the greatest gifts the County of Los Angeles has ever given me. The unspoken looks we exchange after hearing a coworker speak—those moments are absolutely priceless! But beyond the laughter, what I admire most about you is your pure and warm spirit. Your kindness, your unwavering selflessness, and the way you always put others before yourself make you such a rare and beautiful soul.  No matter what, you have always shown up for me without hesitation, without question. You’ve dropped everything just to check on me, and for that, I am forever grateful. Having you as a friend is a blessing beyond words, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to stand by my side as I say, I do.  Thank you for being a friend of a lifetime. I love and appreciate you more than you know! 

Laneshia Miller

Myisha, My Soon-to-Be Sister-in-Love, From the moment we met, you have embraced me with a warmth and energy that is truly infectious. The life of the party, the turn-up queen, you bring so much joy wherever you go, and I feel so blessed to be welcomed into your world.  Knowing that I’ve never had a big sister, I couldn’t be more excited to finally gain one in you. I have heard countless stories of the love, protection, and unwavering support you’ve given your brother through every season of life. In his brightest moments and his darkest hours, you have always stood by his side. That kind of love is rare and beautiful, and I have no doubt it has played a huge role in shaping him into the man I love today.  I am so grateful for you, for the bond we are building, and for the sisterhood that will only continue to grow. It is truly an honor to call you family, and I can’t wait to share this journey with you.  Love you! 

Myisha Maxwell

Niche, twin, From the ninth grade until now, our friendship has been a beautiful journey filled with unforgettable moments. I will never forget seeing our dads standing outside our high school, talking to the limo driver on Homecoming night—making sure he knew the plan was strictly from the dance and straight back to the school. Those moments still make me laugh, knowing how demanding our dads were. Beyond the laughter and memories, what I cherish most is the trust you've placed in me. You have opened your heart and shared some of your hardest battles, and I’ve always admired your incredible resilience. No matter what life throws your way, you always find the strength to push through, and that is something truly inspiring.  You have been a friend I can always count on loyal, unwavering, and true. Not having you by my side just wouldn’t make sense, because you’ve been such a constant in my life. Thank you for your friendship, your strength, and most of all, for being unapologetically you.  I love you deeply.  Skee-Weee! 💕💚


Nichelle Cox

Nicks, My Other Twin, My Financial Guru,  We have truly done life together, side by side, from high school hallways to flights across the world. Our friendship has been an adventure, a bond that has stood the test of time, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  I still laugh thinking about how different freshman year Homecoming was compared to senior prom. We somehow finessed our limo driver into taking us to Dockweiler Beach and Denny’s before heading home. Those moments, those memories, are forever stamped in my heart. Through every high and low, we always found our way back to what mattered most, our unshakable friendship.  
From country to country, milestone to milestone, our journey has been nothing short of unforgettable. And now, as I step into this new chapter as a wife, I couldn’t be more grateful to have you by my side. Thank you for your wisdom, and for being a friend I can always count on.  I love you ! 

Nicole Cox

Nnenna, My almost birthday Twin, One of the greatest blessings LA County ever gave me was placing you next to me as my desk partner. Little did they know, they weren’t just arranging seating, they were bringing a lifelong friend into my life. From the very beginning, you showed your kindness and compassion for people by always looking out for me, even covering while I went on my extended lunch breaks to  Hobby Lobby. It was in those small moments that I saw just how much you cared, and our friendship only grew from there.  You have been my greatest travel buddies, the friend I’ve explored a lot of the world with, creating memories in places far and wide. And with our birthdays just a day apart, planning celebrations was never a question, it was instinctual. We didn’t need to ask; we just knew how to make space for one other. Over time, what started as simple coordination turned into a beautiful tradition, our annual Benihana’s dinner, not just for us, but to celebrate our moms, whose birthdays are only 11 days apart.  Our friendship is filled with moments of love, laughter, and a bond that continues to grow. I am so grateful for you, and I can’t wait to see what more life has in store for us. Thank you for being by my side on my special day! Love you! Skee-Weee! 💕💚

Catherine, my sweet Memaw,
The youngest of my nieces, you’ve always held a special place in my heart. From the beginning, you were a bit hesitant with me but over time, we found our rhythm and now I wouldn’t trade our bond for anything. You’ve been my quiet little rider, sometimes shy, sometimes bold, but always beautifully and uniquely you. What I admire most is how you’ve embraced your girlhood with grace, never rushing to grow up, just enjoying the joy and wonder of being exactly where you are. Your gentle spirit and bright smile light up any room, and it’s clear that you’re blossoming into someone truly remarkable. Each day, I see you stepping more confidently into your own light, and I just know the world is going to take notice because you have so much goodness to give. I love you dearly, baby girl, and I’m honored and proud to be your uncle.

Catherine Sibley 

London,

From the very beginning, you were the one who made me an auntie, and what a beautiful gift that has been. I’ve loved you deeply from the moment you came into this world, like you were my very own. Watching you grow has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

Your unique style, your spunky spirit, your cleverness and wit—you truly light up every room you walk into. Listening to your school stories and all the “drama” has shown me that while time keeps moving, some things like the beauty of growing up stay timeless.

I’ve watched you pour your heart into everything you do, especially your commitment to sports, and I just want you to know how incredibly proud I am of the young woman you’re becoming. You see something you want, and you go after it, just like your auntie.

It fills my heart with so much pride and love knowing you’ll be walking down the aisle before me as my flower girl. Sharing this moment with you means more to me than words can express. Thank you for being a part of this special day and for being the amazing niece that you are.

Kingston,

My favorite and only nephew, what a special title you hold in my heart.

From the very beginning, you've been the sweetest little boy I know. Your kindness, your gentle heart, and the way you care for others never cease to amaze me. It’s such a beautiful gift, and I pray that no matter how much you grow or how far life takes you, you always hold on to that love and compassion that makes you so special.

I already know there’s going to come a day when the little girls start noticing you and honestly, I’m not ready for that. I just hope they see what I see, a bright, thoughtful, and one-of-a-kind young man. And if anyone ever dares to break your heart, just know your auntie will be showing up ready to protect you like always.

We still have time before all of that, but for now I just want you to know how much I love you. I believe in you so much Kingston. I see your dedication, your intelligence, and the way your mind works. It’s truly inspiring. And yes, I’m still counting on that big MLB deal and the mansion you're going to buy me one day.

Until then, I’m just beyond proud to call you my nephew. Keep dreaming big and reaching for the stars because in my eyes you already are one.

My baby brother Jeremy! Just three years apart, and we’ve been through so much, from childhood to now. But through it all, I’ve always known you love me and have my back.

We can fight one minute and be chilling the next, that’s just what brothers do. I’ve always been my brother’s keeper, and I always will be. From Fillmore to Wedgewood Street, we held each other down.

I know I can be tough, but it always comes from a place of love. Thank you for always being you, and I thank God for the man you’re becoming. I love you, bro!

Love you, boy!

Hornsby, my brother from another mother! We’ve served together, partied together, and now we’re both serving in ministry. Who would’ve thought we’d end up here?

I still remember you letting me use your ID back when I was a young Marine, sneaking into clubs—us turning up at Bubinga in Reno like it was ours! 

But real talk, you’ve been a true friend and one of my solid accountability brothers. I know I can come to you without judgment, just real love and truth. Love you, bro.

Cory Hornsby

Devaughn! My ninja, my big cuzzo, really, my big bro! You’ve always been that solid example for us younger cousins to look up to. Even when life was hitting you, you still showed up for me, time and time again.

I’m truly grateful for the role you’ve played in my life. Your presence, your guidance, it all mattered. I love you, bro, for real.

Devaughn Bell

Jabari, we’ve rolled heavy over the years, from VIP sections at the club to wild drives up to Reno and back in the snow! You’ve always been that cousin I could never beat in basketball, and honestly, you fueled my competitive spirit early on.

I truly appreciate the man you’ve become. It means so much to have another man in the family who’s serving God and walking strong in ministry, preaching and teaching the Gospel. I love you, bro, and I thank God for your presence in my life

&nbsp;&nbsp;The Adobe de Palomares Museum stands at the site where, from 1850 to 1854, Ygnacio and Concepción Palomares constructed a thirteen room house. The home represents the many changes occurring in California during the period. Houses were commonly constructed with adobe bricks, which provided climate control and could be made with local materials. As a result of expanding transportation routes in the early American era, valley residents also had access to milled lumber. The Palomares family used both: adobe for the walls, and lumber for the floors and ceiling
