In 2005, rapper Nas and singer Kelis tied the knot in an unforgettable Atlanta wedding. Although their union ended with a 201 divorce, the iconic photo of the bride dressed in her unique green gown and the groom in a white tux was definitely love and hip-hop goals at the time.

In celebration of what would have been their 13th anniversary, a fan shared a throwback from the couple’s big day and lo and behold, twe spotted a familiar face in their bridal party. 

A very young Yara Shahidi was there to support her big cousin Nas by carrying out flower girl duties as only someone as adorable as she could!

The Grown-ish star rocked a white dress coupled with a tiny tiara atop her gorgeous head of curls. She was absolutely adorable.

Shahidi’s mother, Keri, is cousins with the Queens native. 

How cute!
