Keturah L. Parker

Bride

Keturah L. Parker is a North Carolina native and is the bride and Future Keturah Parker Jones. WHEW - That's gonna take some getting used to! Professionally, I'm in my 14th year at Bank of America where I'm an Assistant Vice President, in Cross Product Control Group. I'm excited about April 19! Many people ask, did you really mean to book on a Monday and I laugh...YES!! It was INTENTIONAL! The last 3.75 years with AJ have been FUN! No Lie! What's odd is we had friends in the same circle, for years, and never had any direct contact. UNTIL that faithful Sunday he came in to fill in and someone said, "Keturah's your gonna marry him." Me - LIES!!! LOL But here we are...finna be a whole married couple!! Jones, it's you and I against the world...let's have some fun!!!

Charmeer Raindrop

Matron of Honor

Hello Everyone! I am Charmeer Raindrop, one of Keturah’s Matrons of Honor. I am an Instructional Technology Facilitator. I live in Kannapolis ,NC with my husband Bennie and daughter Cadeyn. I met Keturah and AJ in 2017 when our family joined Bethel. We were new to the area and they quickly took us in and treated us just like family. The love that they have shown us and our daughter over the years has been immeasurable. From the Sunday dinners, to the late night game nights we’ve been able to establish a friendship built on good food, support, and a mutual appreciation for each other. It really feels like we’ve known them all of our lives. When she asked me, I could hardly keep it together. My prayer is that she and AJ continue to love one another unconditionally and without hesitation.

Bennie Raindrop, Jr.

Best Man

Hello! I'm Bennie Raindrop and I reside in Kannapolis, NC with my wife Charmeer and our daughter Cadeyn. I am a middle school educator as well as a Head football and basketball coach. I am so honored to be chosen as a best man for AJ! AJ is like the big brother I never had! When we first moved to the area, I knew very few people. AJ and I met while working with the choir and we instantly connected! Our love for music is what initiated our friendship, but our genuine love and trust is what defines our brotherhood. I thank GOD for our friendship. He is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. Whether we are talking about sports or just hanging our, I can always look forward to having a great time with my bro! I love you bro!! Continue to keep GOD first and be the great man you are!

Dominique Gill

Matron of Honor

Greetings! I’m Dominique Gill and I am the wife of Marcus Gill, mommy to Madison, and Soon to be Maci (December 2020). We live in Myrtle Beach, SC. I am a Doctoral Student, Recording Artist, Author of Her Purpose Matters, and stay-at-home Mom. Keturah & I met in high school in our OSHA class, when we were just 14 years old. My fondest memory amongst many was when we had to create an edible cell and Keturah made a dry Red Velvet Cake. One classmate said, “You could’ve at least brought us some milk for this dry cake!” LOL. And since then, we’ve been best friends!! Keturah is the most realist and genuine friend to have and will do anything for anyone! She is a multi-faceted woman and I am so honored to be a part of she and AJ’s big day! I love you both and celebrate you today and always!

My name is David Hamilton jr, Smoov Alien as they call me, from Buffalo NY. I’m an artist here in Charlotte NC, that likes to eat. I stand on my tippy toes to reach the top shelves in stores, and I like it.

Renita Jones

Maid of Honor

Greetings! I'm Renita Jones and I’m the first cousin and maid of honor to Keturah. I am currently a grad student at IWU and a Life Claims Adjuster. If my memory serves me correct, Keturah and I first met when we were 10 at our uncles wedding in Indiana. The ongoing statement from the majority of people we meet; is that we are TWINS!!! (a beautiful compliment)! Keturah is not just a cousin but a friend, business advisor, and my voice when I need a little force. It was such a great joy to meet AJ, COUSIN. Oddly, we're from the same home town, same last name and now he's making my cousin a Jones! My prayer is that God remains the center and that they experience all of the greater the Lord has for them as one. You know that I love you more than words. #TeamJones
