Our Wedding

The year was 2006, and Sharlene and Scott were embarking on a new journey as 1st year law school students.&nbsp; A&nbsp;simple, chance encounter in the&nbsp;school book store&nbsp;began a 3 year friendship&nbsp;full of fun, laughter, and occasional flirting (mostly by Scott).

However, it wasn't until almost 10 years later, in May of 2015 that Sharlene and Scott realized that their friendship could turn into a great relationship filled with love and passion.&nbsp; After months of long distance dating, Scott moved up to Orlando from West Palm to be with the love of his life.

It didn't take long for either of them to come to the conclusion&nbsp;that getting married was the right decision. Scott proposed in November 2016 during Thanksgiving dinner in front of Sharlenes family...their wasn't a dry eye in the house.&nbsp; The happy couple become closer and stronger everyday and cannot wait to spend their wedding day with all of you!

My name is Leah. Three years ago was the worst period of my life. My best friend since 10th grade suddenly passed away from a heart attack and I was utterly shattered. In the onslaught of calls and texts from family and friends asking the requisite&nbsp;"is there anything I&nbsp;can do" question, there was one person who was there for me far and away more than any friend I've ever hard. That friend is Sharlene. She came and stayed with me while my husband worked an overnight shift, not only did she cook and clean, she helped me flatiron my hair for work in the morning. In that moment, I felt the Love of Christ more than I've felt in years. Shar put her life on pause to take care of me. She's never given up on me and has always been there, no matter what. I am beyond blessed to have her in my life and I'm so honored to be one of her bridesmaids. Love you Shar! &lt;3&nbsp;

Having been assigned all our first year classes together, we first met in August 2006 at law school in Jacksonville. Our friendship grew as we tackled the ups and downs of law school and also participated in extracurricular activities together like the Black Law Students Association, Mock Trial, and served as political interns for the&nbsp;Obama campaign. Luckily, for DeAnna, Sharlene has always been super organized and kept DeAnna on track, and (somewhat) on time. The two have remained very close friends and DeAnna is thrilled to share this exciting journey with Sharlene &&nbsp;Scott. She has and continues to be one of the couple's earliest and biggest fans!

Sharlene and I met in Speech class during our sophomore year at UCF and have been best friends ever since. Sharlene has been my shoulder to cry on and my pillar of support. She was there during my parents divorce always offering help during the difficult moments. She helped me come up with a pick up line that hooked my now husband. She has become great friends with all three of my daughters. Her love and caring is what has made her my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her. She stood up by my side when I got married and I can't wait to do the same for her! Here's to your happily ever after Sharlene! Love you!

I met Sharlene in high school and our friendship has always been a sweet association! We are not only spirit sisters, but share the same birthday, so we get to celebrate together every year. God has intertwined&nbsp; our lives along the way and established them in spirit and in purpose.&nbsp; I am so thankful for our wonderful friendship & can’t wait to celebrate this glorious wedding! ❤️

Amanda met Sharlene first semester of law school when they ended up in the same section together. Amanda was a recent transplant from New York and Sharlene exemplified everything great about the South. She was bubbly, friendly and one of the kindest people you could ever meet. They weathered the rough few years of law school together by keeping each other motivated in study groups in the library and having fun on their downtime. They even ended up living in the same apartment complex. Everyone in their section knew Scott liked Sharlene. He even took her to the Ball at the end of law school. So, it was no surprise when Sharlene shared that years later they were dating. Since law school, although they have ended up in different areas they have always kept their friendship alive.&nbsp;
