Wedding Party

Ms. Lauren Weston

Maid of Honor

Lauren and I are Best Friends. We met at the lunch table during junior year of high school and have been inseparable ever since. I can depend on Lauren to be my voice of reason, nurse (before she officially became one), and confidant.


Mrs. Jessica Nelson

Matron of Honor

Jessie and I met at CSU. We were both criminal justice majors. I asked her for help with Research Methods because I was struggling. She didn't even know me, but helped me anyways. That's the type of person she is. In addition to being classmates, we were coworkers at Best Buy. Jessie was one of the many people encouraging me to date Julian.

Ms. Maniquia Stinson

Bridesmaid

"Neek" is my little big sister. Neek makes sure that Julian eats whenever she is around. Somehow she was taught to cook, while I wasn't. She takes good care of us.


Ms. Shamair Wright

Bridesmaid

Shamair and I met during our sophomore year of high school. I thought Shamair was stuck up and then I realized she was. However, she is really nice sometimes. Shamair is always down for my crazy ideas. I can depend on her to say, "if that's what you want to do."

Dr. Brittany Soto

Bridesmaid

Brittany and I met at work in 2018. We found ourselves laughing at the same people for the same reasons as we sat next to each other in a week long training. We started to go to Happy Hours on Fridays after work and our friendship blossomed.


Mrs. Alyssa Burns

Honorary Bridesmaid

Alyssa is my BFF! We got off to a pretty rocky start being that she thought I was mean and I thought she was weird. We ended up in a group conversation during our Chid Development class our sophomore year of highschool. That conversation led to a series of others and now we're closer than we both thought we'd ever be.

Ms. Shakelcia Davis

Hostess

The hostess with the mostass! Kelcia and I have been friends since elementary school! She is such a sweetheart. I couldn't imagine her not being a part of my huge day.


Ms. Ciera Hayes

Hostess

Cici as she is affectionately called is my "little" cousin. She is sure to help things go smoothly.

Mr. Denzell Moton

Best Man

Excuse me you’ll have to speak to attorney about that. This guy has been pleading my case and has gotten me out of so much trouble through the years growing up. I gave him so much practice growing up that law school was a breeze for him.


Mr. Derrick Vereen

Best Man

Get the strap! Don’t worry big black got your back! Derrick has had my back since we met during our Freshmen year at CSU. We have countless inside jokes that only we understand. We could laugh for days over the things we’ve done through the years.

Mr. Jorelle Ready

Groomsman

“You already Jo” one of the nicest guys I could ever met, would literally give the shirt off his back to a complete stranger. Joe and I met while at Charleston Southern and strengthened our friendship during the time we lived together off campus


Mr. Derrick Jenkins

Groomsman

It’s Lit!! Everyone’s favorite hype man. Whenever you’re feeling down or think things are getting hard Derrick is there to pump you up and make you feel like you can take on the world

Mr. Shalik Brown

Groomsman

Turn Up!! If there is music playing better believe Shalik is going to be dancing no matter how weird he looks. Don’t let the weird dancing fool you though Shalik is one of the smartest people I know.


Mr. John-Heyward Robinson

Usher

Mr. Reliable, I don’t think there is a more reliable person than John. There hasn’t been a time yet where I have asked him for help and didn’t come through. He has been a life long friend and some one I can always trust.

Mr. Marques Stinson

Usher

"Booda" is Ashley's little brother.


Mr. Sa'Donte Sumter

Usher

Sa'Donte is Ashley's oldest nephew.
