We knew our union was something special when our kiddos blended so effortlessly—it felt like family from day one. When we got married, I (Shardae) brought two amazing kids, Aryana and Kevin, and Lewis brought his awesome son, Aiden. The boys are only six months apart and quickly became the best of friends, while Aryana naturally stepped into her role as the world’s best big sister—always keeping the boys in line (and keeping us laughing)!

Not long after, our family grew again when we welcomed our sweet daughter, Kehlani. She truly completed our blended bunch. Early on, the kids came up with the idea to combine our last names—McNeal and Guest—and started calling us “The McGuests.” We thought it was the cutest thing ever, and to this day, they still call us that. It’s a name that reminds us daily how beautifully our family came together.
