Our Wedding

We met on October 9, 2017, at a Carnival fete in Miami — Edward, born in Aruba and raised between Grenada and Brooklyn, and I, LaRaysa, born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. What started as a friendship grew into a deep partnership: we became each other’s best friend and, in time, soul mate. Our relationship has had many highs and weathered a few lows, including the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, but our love, respect, and attraction for one another always pulled us through. Carnival brought us together and remains a shared passion; we both love travel, Carnival culture, and celebrating life with family and friends. Over the years we built a blended family of six wonderful children, and we’ve supported one another — Eddie is my rock, and I’m his peace. After more than five years of dating long distance, we bought a home in Florida in 2023. Exchanging vows in Saint George’s, Grenada on April 2, 2027 will be the next beautiful chapter in our journey toward everlasting love.

Our Story

Photos

Ellie Thomas is Edward’s joyful nine-year-old daughter who lights up every room with her smile. She met LaRaysa when she was six years old, and they bonded over movies, outdoor adventures, and beach days in Carriacou and Florida. Warm, candid, and full of mischief, Ellie practiced carrying the rings with proud seriousness—so we’re sure she’ll steal a few hearts walking down the aisle. We’re so happy she’ll be part of our day in Saint George’s.

Gabriella “Gigi” (Gabby) Santos-Toledo is LaRaysa’s only granddaughter and an absolute character. Warm, affectionate, and quick to share—she even coined the phrase “sharing is caring”—Gabby brightens every room with her smile. She and Edward share a special bond (often choosing him over Naynay), partly because Eddie can’t resist giving her whatever her heart desires. Confident and sweet, Gabriella will joyfully scatter petals down the aisle, sharing both flowers and her boundless love with everyone on our day in Saint George’s.
