Wedding Party
Mr. Marion Rivers
Father of the Groom
Dad, Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you for being my father, my role model, my boss, and an excellent example of a husband. For 48 years, I watched you love and care for my mother. In grace, I hope to love my soon-to-be-wife for just as long. Thank you for showing me how to love. Not only do we share names, we also share the same work ethic. We haven't always seen eye-to-eye but know that, just as I can count on you, I'll be here if you need anything. I love you and I am proud of you. Your son, Scott
Mr. Johna' Wilcoxen II

Dad, A fathers love is undeniably powerful and profound in a way only a daughter can understand! It has been my greatest gift, calling you dad and a relationship I will cherish for the rest of my life. You will be giving me away to man who upholds the values and morals you have taught me to expect. No man can ever replicate the love you have given, but God is pleased and took special care in creating such a man than can take care of my heart forever! I love you my chicken Wing. Your loving daughter, Acacia

My brother from another mother and friend of 25 years. While I served our country, you served our community. Much respect and love, brother. You're the kind of friend everyone should have in their corner and I am lucky to have had your loyalty over the years. Not only have you been an amazing friend, but I anticipate you will handle your best man duties flawlessly. Life wouldn't be the same without you by my side, and I am a better man having you by side as I walk into my forever!

Mr. Alexander Brammeier
Groomsman
You're one of a few friends both in-service and outside. I've known you for just under 7 years but it feels like much longer. I know I can count on you for words of wisdom. I only have two older brothers by blood but you are certainly an older brother to me. Thank you for being a good friend.
Dr. Kamiasha Paris
Matron of Honor
" We finna board"! Words cannot express our bond and I'm grateful that I have such a friendship that leaves me speechless! Graceful corrector when I'm wrong, and loving confident when I was alone! A woman of God who is fearfully and wonderfully made! Your love for God , your husband and family has inspired hope of the same for myself. Here we are, standing at the moment I never expected to experience for myself! With love I hope to be an example of the agape love you have shown me and many others! Thank you for standing beside me and over me to lift me up when I couldn’t do so myself! Come hell, jail, or mission mode I hope to be laughing about it with you!
Mr. Jessie Dorn
Groomsman
We've been friends for over ten years now. From the desert in Afghanistan to you pinning my final rank on me before I commissioned, you've seen at every step along the way. I appreciate all the time we shared. I don’t have many people I truly look up to, but you've always been one of them. Even if I’ve got a few inches on you, you've always felt like a big brother—someone I admire, respect, and trust without question. I’m deeply grateful for everything we’ve shared and for the bond we’ve built over the years.
Mrs. Ana Beverly
Bridesmaid
Words are not enough to describe the bond we have. Laughter, fun, and sometimes tears fill our conversations but in the most healing way. My sister-in-love and not just by law. Thank you for standing by my brothers side and now by mine on the happiest day of my life! Cheers to a forever friendship!
The late Mrs. Brenda Rivers
Mother of the Groom
Because someone we love is in heaven, may a little bit of heaven be with us on our special day. May your love continue to guide us as we begin our journey together. From heaven's gentle view, please watch over us as we say, “I do.”
