There's not a lot of text to compare. But, comparing with the word First (under her name), I would rather go for Vina Fragsa. But again, give us more to compare.

I see Vina Gragson;

If the bride's name is Gertie, I'll go with Gragsa or Graysa

If you look at the word 'African' you will see that the writer tends to make the final 'n' into more of a straight line
