Alayna is Najlas cousin. Growing up together we were the quintessential girls; putting on makeup we weren't supposed to be getting in to, doing each others nails, sleepovers, and always dreaming of finding our Prince Charming like the Pricesses in all the Disney movies we watched on repeat. Once we reached our teenage years there wasn't a boyfriend we didn't give our complete honest opinion on nor was there a breakup that we didn't show up to help guide the other through. I am so thankful to have had a cousin that I could essentially call my sister in every aspect of the word.

Nicole is Najlas longest standing friend. Meeting by chance of working at the same grocery store in 2010, once we became friends we were inseparable. From evening shifts at the grocery store, to afternoons at the mall, late night dinners, parties Nicole had no business taking Najla to, Nicole's wedding, and now all the family functions. 14 years of friendship and growing up together, even after I moved to San Diego 10 years ago, we are blessed to each have the opportunity to stand in each others weddings.
