I want to take a moment to send my heartfelt peace and love to my incredible nursing bestie, Isabella, and her soon-to-be husband, Joel, as you both embark on this beautiful journey of marriage. May God bless and surround you both with His grace & peace.

I am truly honored and proud to be part of this special moment in your lives. Isabella, we’ve shared so much together, from our lowest lows to our highest highs. Please know that I’ll always be here for you both, no matter what life brings.

Joel, I still remember the first time we met at 24 Hour Fitness. You came over to me and some of my nursing friends, asking about Isabella. It was clear from the start just how deeply you loved her. Your connection is truly beautiful. I love the bond you both share, and I’m so grateful to witness this young Black love. Sending all my peace and love to the Osei family!

Hi there! My name is Phebe if you ever want to meet me! 1/3 of Phebellanor and proud Bridesmaid! Bella and I met in church as children and we’ve been great friends ever since. So locked in that no amount of time spent apart or distance could ever get between us. Growing up, we were always either singing, having photoshoots, talking about how amazing God is and what it means to be a good person, or laughing til our abs hurt. To know Bella is to love her and I’m so happy she found her Husband and life partner in Joel. I’m even more excited to celebrate their blessed union.

I’m super grateful for Bella as I know our friendship will last a lifetime!!! I remember meeting Joel over the phone and I knew right off the bat that their relationship was so special. Blessed and excited to be apart of their union!

Hey everyone! I'm Eleanor, but you can call me Ellie! Ellie! I've known Isabella for years now; we first crossed paths as teenagers at church. We quickly became church besties haha! Some of my fondest memories with Bella involve our Sunday tradition of coordinating our outfits and capturing countless photos together. We loved taking pictures lol. I will always treasure those wonderful moments, along with all the other amazing experiences we've shared. It's a blessing to be a part of Joel and Bella's wedding celebration and I pray God will bless their union with love, joy, and understanding. Watching their love grow over the years has been such a joy, and I am so excited to see what the future holds for them. Isabella is beautiful inside and out. She has an incredible ability to light up a room. And Joel, well, he is the perfect match for her. His patience and unwavering support for Bella are truly inspiring. Together, they complement each other so beautifully.

Joel’s twin, I mean sister here! I am soooo excited to celebrate the union of Joel and Isabella! My brother is getting married!!! When I first met Isabella, I already knew she was going to be an amazing addition to the family and wonderful partner for my brother. She was so sweet, warm and bubbly and an all around amazing person. We hit it off so well right from the beginning! They’re not even married yet and I already consider her an amazing big sister! Can’t wait to bring in the new Oseis!!!

Anat Agyei

Bridesmaid

Hello, I’m Anat, one of Isabella’s bonus sisters in love! Since the moment I met Isabella, she has been a sweet welcoming and caring individual who makes sure everyone feels included. She’s someone that immediately makes you feel comfortable and included and the same can be said for Joel. I remember hiking in Hollywood hills with Isabella and our family and her sharing what she was looking for in a man and to see that she found exactly what her heart desires makes me so joyful and gives me hope. I’m so excited and grateful to be a part of her and Joel’s big day and witness their forever journey.

To my favorite cousin, I just want you to know how much I’ve loved growing up with you. You’ve always felt more like a brother to me, someone I could count on through every adventure, laugh, and challenge. I’ve watched you grow into such an incredible person, and now, seeing you get married fills my heart with so much happiness. I’m beyond excited to see the Isabella and you grow as a couple, building a life together filled with love and joy. I know you’ll both create something truly special, and I can’t wait to be there cheering you on in this beautiful new chapter.

A Generous man, an honest man. A man with an irreplaceable gift to make an inclusive environment for all to shine and grow their giftings to better people to impact the world. I have considered Joey one of my older brothers my entire life and one of my inspirations as it pertains to demonstrating grace and generosity to all, as he has exemplified as far as I can remember. His deep support in my life makes me overjoyed to be behind him as he walks into his forever with Isabella! Los Angeles is a while away from home, so when he relocated, we sent him off with a prayer and fingers crossed. The next thing we hear, we have a lady! As I said before, LA is far, so I knew nothing of her. Still, when I met Isabella and spent some time around her, I came to see the unique attributes she carried and the underlying commonalities they share: hospitality, care, and a deep sense of kindness for all! As the two of them walk down this journey, I pray that their union may be a model marriage, a fruitful marriage demonstrating patience and kindness towards one another as a husband and wife but to all of humanity and show that with compassion and patience, the world can be a better place.

I’ve been fortunate to know Joel my entire life. We grew up in church together, and he’s always had remarkable charisma and a generous spirit. $ika Joe, as I’ve come to call him, has been a strong inspiration in my life as his reassurance and example throughout my teenage years led me to surpass the standards of success that I had set for myself. $ika Joe is a rare gem of a man. He will give his last of anything for someone who needs it and always chooses to extend grace and patience to demonstrate love to those he encounters. I know he will be a great husband to Isabella.

Isabella, or Bella Karda$hian as I’ve also nicknamed her, has already become a sister in the few times we’ve met, and I cannot imagine a better match for Joel. Karda$h is kind and has a welcoming aura to her that makes strangers find immediate comfort in her presence.

Through Christ, I know their union will stand the test of time and be a strong example of pure love.

Hey y’all my name is Chinedu and Joel my fellow gleek go way back since day one at Carnegie Mellon. I have always been able to count on him in a pinch and I wouldn’t have been able to get this ECE degree without him! Im hyped to see this journey begin for Joel and Isabella. I know many more blessings, testimonies and love filled stories are in their future!

Chris Bright

I met Joel during our first week at Carnegie Mellon, not knowing I found a brother for life! From Pittsburgh to Los Angeles, we’ve shared countless memories and he’s always been someone I can depend on as we grew from boys to men. And now, my fellow Gleekster™️ is taking this next step in his journey and is getting married!

Joel is truly an embodiment of what a great man should strive to be, and I am so happy he found somebody to match his frequency. Excited and blessed to be part of Joel and Isabella’s special day and looking forward to bringing in this next chapter of their life!

Living with Joey for the past 8 years has truly been a blessing; but I’m glad he has found his forever roommate. I am privileged to have watched the beginning of this love story and am excited to see it develop and flourish. Y’all have come along way from the ash filled skies of the past…

To my fellow Gleekster and Thrillchaser, words cannot describe how grateful I am to be your friend. I’ve learned so much from you over the past 9 years, and I’m looking forward to what is to come. I’ve seen your relationship with Izzy instill in you values I can only hope to acquire one day. I wrote a lil function for your matrimony:

def joey_and_izzy_everlasting_love():

    love = True
    while living:
        print("Their love grows stronger every day!")

        if living == False:
            Break
    love = False
    return
-> joey_and_izzy_everlasting_love()
Output:
Their love grows stronger every day!
…

TypeError: Oops! “love” overflowed... because it lasts forever!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to share even a portion of my life here with Joel Osei. From him hustling to get me to be his roommate at Carnegie Mellon to the many adventures we shared throughout the years I am blessed on honored to seem him grow into the man he is today. He is the first of my friends to begin to enter the world of matrimony and I couldn’t be prouder. May God richly bless Joel and Isabella as they enter a new phase in their life. Chale I am taking notes ooooo.

Hey all! My name is Jeremy and i am Joel’s twin brother! Being the twin brother of the groom, we are connected with one another in a way that most aren’t. A connection that we are blessed to have cultivated throughout the years. While our bond is unique, the one Joel and Isabella share is a beautiful one that will stand the test of time. When you see the two of them, you see true love and happiness that quickly spreads to others.
