In her speech, Alia had said, “She’s the glue that holds us all together. She has the most perfect, special, individual relationship with every girl in the group and she always shows up. Which is why today when she showed up, walking down this beautiful aisle, looking like a dream, of course I was looking at her but I first looked at Shari. Because I’m like, that’s the boy she’s marrying. And looking at the tears in his eyes, I was like, it’s a good thing.”
