Mother of the Bride
There are no words that can describe the love and influence a mother has on her daughter. The strength, confidence and motivation I have to be a woman and succeed are all things I saw in her growing up. She is my rock, my lifeline and my best friend. I owe everything that I am to this wonderful woman.
Father of the Bride
With a kind heart and steady soul this man walked into my life when I was a teenager, and ever since it’s been the two of us against my mother. He manages to act as the voice of reason in a family of 3 strong minded AKA stubborn women. It is an honor to have him give me away
Mother of the Groom
The one responsible for the devilish handsome specimen we will call groom. Raised the specimen so well that the bride begged him to marry and impregnate her (true story). Just tell her not to dance but so much she might hurt herself.
Father of the Groom
The spark plug of the family known for encouraging shots and long nights that end with headaches. If you want to see him squirm offer him a bit of fireball but be warned he might smack you!!!
Flower Girl
Khloe Alyssa Johnson is that little spark, that keeps my heart beating. She reminds me so much of her other and me. She is so girly and loving. Her kindness and intelligence astonishes me every time I see her.
Ring Bearer
Currently the largest bill in the Banks household and the most intelligent 9 year old in this hemisphere. This guy keeps us on our toes! He will show you who the smartest person in the room is with a quickness. He makes us laugh nonstop and is the best TV buddy in the house!
Maid of Honor
We met at my first job after college and were inseparable immediately! If there was a new food spot in the area or a place to grab drinks after work, you’d catch me and this chica there laughing about any and everything
Best Man
Andrei's little brother and victim to random power bombs throughout their childhood. Also, getting married himself to Mr. Aaron Gilchrist (who can also fall victim to a power bomb if need be).
Bridesmaid
‘Tay’ is my Ethiopian alter ego! She is so sure about what she wants in life and where she wants to go for dinner! I can only dream to be that decisive! We’ve been besties since our college days @ VCU
Groomsman
Brother from another mother! Known for keeping the low profile but secretly the reason people end the night passed out somewhere.
Bridesmaid
My Leigh Leigh! Always the sunshine to my rough days ever since VCU and constantly the life of every party we went to! She has the biggest heart of anyone I know.
Groomsman
My partner in crime normally by my side right before something crazy is going to happen. Even in my old age he still can’t hang with me on the basketball court. The only person I know who manage to go bald at the tender age of 16!
Bridesmaid
Teeeee! My newest homie! We recently met through our hubbies and I have a feeling that she and I could be dangerous as a pair! We are both fiery and stubborn and she is who I call when Andrei has driven me to madness!
Groomsman
All around nice guy throughout those amazing college years often times electing to stay home during those college nights (mostly because he was inebriated before the rest of us). Yet, the most frugal person we know!
Officiant
Pastor Cooper to most but Uncle Larry to the bride. The goofiest pastor on this side of the Mississippi.
Wedding Planner
Affectionately known as the Foreman family paparazzi. His promise is that if he catches you doing something embarrassing on film he will hold for at least three years before release.
Wedding Planner
The smallest of the Foreman clan (we are still wondering where he came from) and the biggest bully. The best chef/caterer on the planet too bad he isn’t catering the wedding.
Wedding Planner
God mom to the bride and the only Aunt she has ever known. From helping the bride become a little lady to supporting her in becoming a grown woman.
