Ashley & Dustin
The Bridal Party
Morgan Booker
Matron of Honor
The wiser, kinder and all-around better Booker girl. She’s not only my little sister but my best friend. And just like every Booker women, she’s sunshine mixed with a little hurricane.
Merrin White
Bridesmaid
Merrin is a one-of-a-kind human. From her playful personality to her insane intelligence, I’ve never met anyone like her and have been lucky she’s been not only been my pseudo roommate but pseudo sister.
Ann Matthews
Bridesmaid
Ann’s contagious laugh and sweet demeanor are so inviting, you can’t help but gravitate towards her. As one of my closest friends for over a decade, Ann’s been a constant thread because we just get each other.
Teal Black
Bridesmaid
A timeless beauty with an untamed spirit, Teal’s enthusiasm for life and love for her friends is fierce. Teal’s unapologetic confidence is unmatched, just like our adventures.
Jasmine W. Rose
Bridesmaid
Another thanks to NYC for bringing us together via good friends, good times and good wine. A southern belle at heart, Jasmine brings beauty and sophistication to every space and moment.
Jade Dean
Bridesmaid
Another Jersey-Girl! We met through her husband but our friendship blossomed on it’s own. Jade’s elegance, whit and practical persona confirm that Jersey girls truly are the best.
Jessica Benjamin
Bridesmaid
Jess is a person you just love to be around. From our first meeting in MV to our limitless good times thereafter, I can’t decide what I admire more: Jess’s grace or her gratitude for life and loved ones.
Bridgette Howard
Bridesmaid
There’s no one more glamorous than Bridgette so it’s appropriate that we solidified a life-long friendship with glamorous times in NYC. Even though we’ve left the city, no matter where we are in our lives or in the world, B and I pick-up where we left off.
Alexis Tucker
Bridesmaid
Alexis has been the voice of reason since we were 5. From then and especially now, I admire Alexis’ unwavering ability to be herself, her loyalty and empathy towards others. The consistency of this friendship has been a rock for me.
Whitney Craig
Bridesmaid
Whitney convinced me to meet Dustin for a drink, which ended up being our first date (unbeknownst to me but not to Dustin). You always need that friend that knows you but also knows best, Whitney is that for me.
Amberly Stults
Groomswoman
Her last name is Stults now but Amberly is my younger sister and despite being the only female in this line up, I can assure you she’s the best athlete of the bunch. However, long removed are our days of basketball workouts and hours in the gym together. Amberly has since taken her talents to motherhood where she’s continued to impress and inspire me, but now as mother & wife (instead of with her jumper).
Bill Robertson
Groomsman
From 5th grade basketball, to high school hoops and then on to college basketball, our 30+ year friendship has seen it all. Bill is truly like a brother and one of the most loyal friends you could ask for and somebody I can call on to help with anything at any time…and that’s not easy to find.
Tony Patterson
Groomsman
Another 30+ year friend/brother. Tony grew up with Bill & I, and was also a teammate from grade school to college hoops. Tony is probably one of the most good-natured, funny and outgoing people you’ll ever meet - and you’ll likely find him on the dance floor late Saturday night when everyone else is trying to leave.
Antonio Porch
Groomsman
I met Antonio in NYC around 2010 from (you guessed it) playing basketball and we hit it off right away. Antonio is truly one-of-kind, he possesses a rare combination of class & cool and has such a great perspective on life - he’s one of those people that makes an immediate impression on anyone that meets him.
Brad Freshour
Groomsman
Brad was a teammate of mine in college and we quickly became great friends. As our resident prankster, he is always providing laughs and any time spent with Brad is a great time (unless he's trying to get you banned from a college campus).
Gene Whitney
Groomsman
Gene is proof that I have met great friends outside of basketball. Gene is without a doubt my most cerebral friend (sorry other friends). Of the countless nights out in NYC, some of my favorites were nights of dinner, drinks and conversation with Gene. He may seem quiet at first but if you get a chance to talk with Gene, you know exactly what I mean.
