I met Bethany in 2015 through church. I instantly felt connected to her and we soon became roommates! We bonded over the little things (Mexican food, The Office, dark chocolate, the band Johnnyswim, etc.) as we navigated the big things. I can’t imagine my 20’s and all that came with it - my professional life, dating, marriage, and now babies, without Bethany’s love, wisdom, and prayers. One of the many things that I admire about Bethany is that she is so intentional in her relationships. Her relationship with Justice is no exception, and I know they will build a beautiful, faith-filled life together. I’m so honored to be a part of their celebration!

I don't really remember a time in Boston when I didn't know Justice. I assume we met through Mosaic, but like the Great I AM, Justice seems to have always been around. At a July 4th party a couple years ago I had the honor and pleasure of hearing his life story for about 2 hours (fascinating!)...only to find out in the last two weeks that he left some key pieces out...on purpose! "Bro, you know about 10-15% of my story" he told me this week (in June). So I have 3 months to learn the other 85-90% and if not, Bethany can't have him yet. But I am super excited to watch them grow closer in the Lord and can't wait to celebrate with them very soon! So honored to be a part of the ceremony Bro!

Upon leaving college in Alabama, Bethany was placed in Massachusetts to work at Connect Church in Ashland. My family took Bethany in as a “temporary” house guest, that turned into a 2.5 year stay where she became one of the family. Bethany and I developed a close bond like sisters, sharing everything from our living quarters, to our love of Jesus, art, creating, music, and finding beauty in the little things! Bethany and I have been prayerful in the pursuit of her future partner. I could not be more thrilled that she and Justice found one another! xo

Justice and I met as roommates in 2016. I introduced a few firsts into Justice’s life: including getting his first personal birthday cake and teaching him how to use chopsticks. Justice introduced me to an amazing church community, Mosaic Boston, through which I met my wife Rachel a few years later. Justice and I bonded over faith, prayer, and “Jesus music”. I am honored and overjoyed to be Justice’s groomsman.

I met Bethany when I joined my first ever small group about 5-6 years ago. We've only been friends for 5 years but it feels like a lifetime... I've moved a lot over the years and we have never lost touch. One of my favorite things is opening my mailbox to a letter or card from Bethany. She has prayed for me, encouraged me, supported me and is an absolute gift to my life!

Justice is to me as coffee is to millennials. I don’t remember exactly when we were first acquainted but it’s difficult now to imagine life apart. Perhaps it was his dazzling smile greeting me at church one morning that drew me to him like a tractor beam. I’m deeply grateful for the powerful impact he’s had on on the lives of so many, myself included. His servant’s heart & sincerely offered friendship have helped sustained the church we are members of. I’ve enjoyed getting to know him through attending high-brow thought forums & hashing out wild business plans. I’m now honored to have the chance to celebrate his wedding to Bethany, who has shown herself to be a very special lady. I know they will form a powerful force for Good as they walk out a marriage rooted in God’s provision & grace.

My name is Elisabeth Bianchi and I am a long time friend of Bethany’s. Ever since we were roommates in college, I have had the pleasure of knowing and growing with Bethany and can say confidently that Justice is one lucky man! From showering everyone she knows with hand written notes and tasty homemade treats, to calling to sing (the entire) Happy Birthday song every single year, Bethany is likely the most caring, loving, and thoughtful person I know and I am truly honored to stand by her side on such a special day. I am so thrilled that she has found the love of her life in such an amazing man and cannot wait to celebrate them and their marriage!

Justice and I grew up together in the same neighborhood in Kumasi and went to the same high school. Even though I was a year ahead of him, and we were in different boarding houses in Kumasi High school, we still kept our friendship intact, we mostly spent time together on campus and still check in every week even though we are on different continents. I couldn’t have been more delighted than to see Justice develop from that little boy to be the man he is now! I’m very proud of my brother and excited to see him get married to the love of his life, Bethany.

I am Bethany's younger sister. I have known Bethany for all 18 years of my life and am often confused for her twin. Bethany has been my biggest role model and one of my best friends as I've grown up. I'm lucky to call her my sister and can't wait to watch her grow in this new chapter.

Justice and I met for the first time over 4 years ago in Boston. I was visiting his church Mosaic and remember being greeted by the most pleasant countenance and smile. To this day I do not think I have experienced a warmer welcome in Boston. It was after that encounter followed by lunch that I knew it would be the beginning of a great relationship. Over the past years Justice has been a close friend, faithful companion, trustworthy confidant, and above all, dear brother. We still have our occasional differences—mainly when it comes to jollof rice—but we couldn’t be closer in spirit, heart, and soul. I love my brother and am excited for what God has in store for him and Bethany. I also knew Bethany independent of Justice so to see them come together is beautiful and an answer to prayer.
