Our Wedding

We met in the most modern of ways—on Tinder. Neither of us was expecting much, just passing time and maybe catching a good conversation. But then we matched, and something just clicked. The bio mentioned anime, the banter was on point, and the good vibes were immediate. We started talking about our favorite shows, tossing jokes back and forth, and somehow it felt like we’d known each other way longer than a few messages. It wasn’t long before texts turned into late-night convos, meetups, and the kind of connection you don’t swipe past. Now, three kids later, we’re still watching anime—usually after bedtime, when the house is finally quiet and we can geek out like we used to. It’s not just about the shows anymore; it’s about the fact that we never lost what made us us. From Tinder to toddlers—with anime and good vibes the whole way.

Our Story

To My Amazing Bridal Party Since childhood, through college, work, and even across online platforms, I've been blessed to meet so many wonderful people—but friends like you are truly unmatched. Each of you holds a special place in my heart, and having you by my side during one of the most important moments of my life means more than words can express. You've supported me, laughed with me, calmed my nerves, and made every step of this journey unforgettable. Thank you for your love, your time, and your presence—not just at the wedding, but always. I’m so lucky to call you my people. With all my love and gratitude, Joaquin &amp; Shaniqua Thomas-Choice

We met freshman year while pledging Sigma Gamma Phi Inc., and I had no idea then how deeply you would impact my life. You saw me at my lowest and never walked away. 

Your loyalty, your strength, and your unwavering support helped pull me through a major depressive episode that almost took my life. You truly saved me. I chose you to be my Maid of Honor not just because of what we've been through, but because you are family to me in every way that counts.

Thank you all for being by my side—not just for the wedding, but always.

With all my love and gratitude,

Shaniqua (Eden)

We met early in my teaching career, and from the start, I knew you meant business—something I had no choice but to respect, especially coming from the Choice family! 

What started as a work friendship quickly became so much more. You’ve been there for every major milestone in my life, always showing up with grace, wisdom, and a good dose of tough love. 

And we all knew you were in when Joaquin fell asleep on your couch! 

Thank you for being my rock, my mentor, and my forever friend.
Thank you all for being by my side—not just for the wedding, but always.

With all my love and gratitude,

What can I say about the girl who saved me from living in a walk-in closet?! 

The pandemic was a wild and uncertain time, but sharing that chapter of life with you made it one of unexpected healing and growth. We came out of it stronger, wiser, and more confident in God's plan for our lives. 

You became the sister-friend I didn’t even know I needed, and just by being yourself, you helped heal wounds I hadn't even named. I will always thank God for that season—and for you.

And of course, CONGRATULATIONS again on your Parisian engagement, Mrs. Pettiford-Gelin!

Thank you all for being by my side—not just for the wedding, but for life.

With all my love and gratitude

Sister!!! I love you so much. I truly cannot imagine my life without you in it. 

No matter what happens, no matter where life takes us, I will always be here to affirm you, encourage you, and remind you of your brilliance and beauty. 

Thank you for always—always—showing up for me. You are more than a sister by spirit; you are a constant light in my life, and I am forever grateful.

Thank you all for being by my side—not just for the wedding, but for life.

With all my love and gratitude,

FULL OF VIBE is always the track playing in my head when I think of you—our Carnival Queen! 

I appreciate the way you always show me love, no matter how long we go without seeing each other. 

When we link up, the party basically starts itself! I’m so glad we got to celebrate this moment together—because us coming together is truly a vibe. Love you endlessly, cuz!

Thank you all for being by my side—not just for the wedding, but for life.

With all my love and gratitude,

Allycia White 

I’m so glad that Obama’s innanet brought us together! From digital pen-pals to true friends, our relationship is the perfect mix of petty jokes and powerful accountability. Thank you for being such a vital part of my healing journey. The fact that you flew all the way from the Bay just to celebrate with us? That’s real love. Your presence meant more than you know, and I’m forever grateful for the light and laughter you bring into my life.

Thank you all for being by my side—not just for the wedding, but for life.

With all my love and gratitude,
