Bridesmaids

Navadine Prendergast

Maid of Honour

Navadine is Whitney's older sister. With her warm heart and infectious personality, Navadine has played an inspiring role in guiding Whitney to becoming the woman she is today. They are sisters by blood, but best friends by choice. Therefore, this role was designed for her.

Kimberly White

Kimberly "The one who always has a motive". Kimberly and Whitney met at church in 2005 where their relationship flourished into a sisterhood. Being so family orientated, Kimberly always made it her mission to keep everyone connected and unified; the glue to our family.

Groomsmen

Lemar Whyte

For those that don't know that Omar has a twin brother, where have you been? Experiencing life together from childhood to adulthood, there are very few life experiences that Lemar hasn't been a part of. Naturally, Lemar is the closest person to Omar and has been Omar’s best man since birth.

Theo Whyte

Theo is Omar's youngest brother. However, he is the first person that Omar turns to for guidance. Theo’s understanding personality makes him the heart and soul of our family and friendship group. The wedding day would simply not be complete without Theo’s infectious presence, and Omar couldn’t imagine his special day without Theo by his side.
