Wedding Party
Sari Cureton
Maid of Honor
Sari has been friends with Lexi since middle school and their sisterhood began a new chapter when life brought them both to D.C. after college. She’s wise, endlessly caring, and the person Lexi can trust with literally anything. What makes her even more special is how deeply she and Evrard are bonded too—she’s family to both of them. Lexi couldn’t imagine getting married—or entering married life—without her sister by my side!
Andre Fankam
Best Man
Andre has played many roles in Evrard’s life—mentor, protector, and, most importantly, older brother. Growing up, Andre was a steady presence, often stepping in with tough love and guidance when Evrard needed it most. Their relationship shifted in the summer of 2021, evolving from one of paternal figure to one of deep brotherhood. Since then, they’ve grown closer than ever, sharing laughs, life lessons, and the kind of honesty only siblings can offer. Andre still gives advice whether Evrard asks for it or not (and usually when he doesn’t!), but it always comes from a place of love. Having him as Best Man is a full-circle moment that means the world to Evrard.
Danielle Strozier
Bridesmaid
Danielle and Lexi went from college roommates to lifelong best friends. They bonded instantly and have been each other’s support system ever since—navigating new careers, personal growth, and everything in between. Danielle is passionate, loving, and infectiously creative. Her positivity lights up every space she enters, and Lexi is so lucky to have her in her life and standing with her on this day.
Jonathan Strozier
Groomsman
Evrard met Jonathan through Lexi's relationship with Danielle, but their friendship quickly took on a life of its own. From the start, they connected—bonding over deep conversations, shared ambitions, and a healthy dose of competition (especially when Evrard’s beating him in 2K or Madden). Over time, Jonathan has become a steady presence in Evrard’s life—a friend he can talk to about everything from career moves to personal growth and long-term goals. Their friendship is built on mutual respect, drive, and the ability to push each other forward. Evrard is proud to have Jonathan by his side as they both continue growing into the men they’ve always aspired to be.
Ramata Ba
Bridesmaid
Lexi met Ramata during an internship program in D.C., where they bonded over a shared aspiration to lead careers in social change both domestically and abroad. Though both ambitious and driven, they’ve bonded most over shared giggles and being a safe space to discuss literally anything. Since then, they’ve built a meaningful long-distance friendship rooted in mutual respect, ambition, and unwavering support. Ramata is fabulous, graceful, witty, and confident—an inspiring force who pushes Lexi to be her best every single day.
Nathaniel Charter-Harris
Groomsman
Evrard met Nathaniel through Lexi, but their bond quickly evolved into a meaningful friendship of its own. Whether it’s debating world events, exchanging unfiltered jokes, or going head-to-head in a game of chess, Nathaniel brings a unique balance of humor, intellect, and perspective. He’s not just a great friend to Evrard, but also a thoughtful, unbiased supporter of both him and Lexi. Their competitive banter—especially over which rival university reigns supreme—adds a layer of fun to a friendship grounded in mutual respect and real conversations. Evrard is honored to have Nathaniel standing with him on this day.
Erynn Irvin
Bridesmaid
Erynn is Lexi’s oldest friend—they met when they were just eight years old and have grown up side by side ever since. With every milestone, they’ve been there for each other. Through it all, Erynn has been a trusted sounding board and unwavering support. She is fearless and deeply committed to everything she puts her mind to. Lexi has immense respect for her and is so proud of the woman she’s become. Growing up together has been one of Lexi’s greatest gifts, and she’s excited to keep growing alongside Erynn.
Jaivon Evans
Groomsman
Evrard met Javion during an internship, unaware at the time that they both attended the same university. What began as a professional coincidence quickly turned into a meaningful friendship. Over the years, Javion has become like a brother—someone Evrard can count on through career moves, personal growth, and life’s many curveballs. Their bond is rooted in loyalty, laughter, and genuine support. From the start, Javion has shown up in all the right ways, and Evrard is proud to have him standing beside him on such an important day.
Sydni Alexis Elebra
Bridesmaid
Sydni and Lexi are childhood friends turned sisters for life. One of the smartest and sweetest people Lexi knows, Sydni is also bold, hilarious, and never afraid to tell it like it is. Her compassion runs deep, and her friendship throughout their twenty-somethings has been a true blessing. Whether she’s offering a reality check or leading a dummy mission—like trying the worst kombucha drink in America—Sydni is always there. She constantly reminds Lexi to take care of herself, and being her friend has been an honor.
Tony Abney
Groomsman
Tony and Evrard first crossed paths at his first post-college job, starting on the same day and immediately clicking. Since then, they’ve built a friendship that’s equal parts laughter, ambition, and authenticity. Though both driven in their careers—especially in the tech world—they’ve also created space to be vulnerable, to support each other, and to simply enjoy the ride. Even when they go weeks without seeing each other, reconnecting feels effortless. Tony is one of Evrard’s most trusted friends, and having him by his side is a reflection of a brotherhood built on real connection and unwavering loyalty.
