Howard T. Matthews Sr.

Father of the Bride. Her Heavenly Angel

Daddy as you rest in Heaven with your beautiful wife, I honor your memory here on earth in many ways. The “MATTHEWS BOYS” (your grandsons) who have the name you are so proud of, will carry on your legacy. “A hard head makes a soft behind”. Jeremiah and Josiah know your quote well! You called Reginald Son-in-law before he asked me to marry him. It’s as if you knew he was meant for me! I know you will smile down on us on our wedding day and forever. I miss you so very much. You were the very best Daddy. I love you ♥️ 🎶 “NOW AND FOREVER” 🎶 🐟🐝

Brenda W. Matthews

Mother of the Bride. Her Heavenly Angel🤍🦋

Momma, I barely have words with so much emotion…You are the most beautiful woman I have EVER known inside and out! While I can not imagine not having you near me on our wedding day, I know you are safely nestled in my heart. Mom, I’m the best version of myself because you always knew my heart even when others didn’t. You were a beautiful example of forgiveness, grace, and love. I ask God to bless me with just a tenth of what you had so that I can continue to raise your grandsons, love on Reginald, and my daughters and sons in love with the love of God always present. Thank you for my smile and my loving heart. You had my back any time and any place. I look forward to feeling your presence on our wedding day. I love you momma “…especially your smile”🐝🐟

Raven Matthews Miller Esq.

Matron of Honor

My beautiful, smart, charismatic sister Raven has blessed me with a “Yes”! I know she will do anything (including sacrifice a finger 😁) to get me down the aisle seamlessly. Raven is and will always be who I look up to for many reasons. She has never left my side and I know she never will. I don’t know if I could get married without her. Thank you for saying YES!

Kizzy Smith B. Ed

Matron of Honor

All hail KT! This woman is a blessing to anyone she meets. We have been friends since 1997 but cousins since birth! Kizzy and I are physically miles apart but over the years our solid foundation as friends has truly kept us connected. I couldn’t do this without her! Thank you for saying YES!

Crystal Pearson DC

Maid of Honor

This Saucey Sister is a true example of fortitude, decisiveness, and transparency. This is why I love her! We argue like an old married couple but we said I DO as friends and it’s for life for us. In her words “Don’t play with me!” She adds to the beauty that will be our union. Thank you for saying YES!

Alicia McKinzy Ed.D

Bridesmaid

Brains and beauty over here! Our mothers are sisters. We have been rolling together since day 1! Along with our cousin Aundrea, we are better known as “A-Side”. Although we are older, we can still put together a dance for family entertainment lol. She is my cousin person and I love her dearly. Thank you for saying YES!

Dionne Arcement

Bridesmaid

LISTEN…if you are looking for truth and realness, look no further ! D is going to give it to you! Okkkurr? We met and immediately became friends. I think God knows who, what, and when at all times. Dionne is my “who” and truly on time! She will show up flawless and smiling! Thank you for saying YES!

Shannon Pope

Bridesmaid

Champagne anyone? This feisty life of the party is truly a gem. Our children brought us into each other’s lives and I couldn’t be more grateful. We haven’t been friends long (2018) but it seems like a lifetime. She walks like a model and smiles like an Angel. My turn-up needs your energy friend! Thank you for saying YES!

Simone Pillette BS

Bridesmaid

My niece, my, heart, my first baby love. I didn’t give birth to her but she is every bit mine! She is one of the most mature young women I know. The world has only seen a snippet of what she has to offer. How lucky can I be to call my niece my friend? Thank you for saying YES!

Keena Pillette

Bridesmaid

The Niece I look up to LITERALLY! She has a smile that will brighten any room and a presence that will fill a room! She is simply AMAZING! Our tater tot is rich in wisdom and wise in love. I look forward to her encouraging smile on our very special day. Thank you for saying YES!

Mom’s escort down the aisle

My eldest son, you are the blessing that came after so much sadness. You have agreed to walk me down the aisle on our wedding day. That is no small task for a 14 year old! Grandpa wouldn’t have had it any other way. I’m so very happy God picked me to be your Mom.

Josiah Adam Matthews

Mom’s escort down the aisle

Son, thank you for being so eager to be at my side on our very special day. Two families will become one…you have shown me just how much you understand what this means. Your love for all of us was truly gifted from God. You are amazing my SonShine!
