When Bri and I met in Junior High School we had plenty of casual interactions between us-passing each other in the halls, small talk in the bathroom between classes…I remember always seeing Bri and thinking to myself, “who does this girl think she is?” If you know Bri, you know she is extra lol. Unbeknownst to me, this girl I’d see in passing day to day would soon become my sister some years later, and as they say, the rest is history. We became inseparable. I’m sure at some point we literally spent time together EVERYDAY for years straight! We shared travel, stories, laughter, tears, secrets, boy drama, girl drama, etc. over the years. She was and still is my “roll dog”. So sure, was she extra? Yup, but I’ve learned her extra shows up in the most beautiful ways. She has an extra big heart, she is extra giving, she is extra loving, she is extra patient, and she is extra loyal. She is extra in all the best ways I can possibly think of, and that’s what makes her a rarity in this world we live in. Fast forward 25 years, I now have the pleasure of watching Bri be a loving partner and an amazing mother. I am so happy she has found love and someone to share her life within Brian. I am overjoyed to witness their commitment to each other. I pray their journey continues to be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and happiness. Oh yeah, and lots of extra ;).

Sister I was 11, a new kid in a new state and a new school and she found me. Turned right around in Study Hall, told me she liked my handwriting and then slid into the seat next to me. That was 30 years ago, and she’s been right by my side ever since. Her family is my family. My family is hers. She’s my first and forever friend. She’s my sister, my Mars - who holds all my secrets and has loved me in a way that makes me feel seen, safe and powerful. Watching her fall in love and be loved for all of who she is has made my heart so full. Watching Brian love and support my sister has locked him in my heart forever. Ten years of love is only the beginning. Congratulations B&B! Here’s to a lifetime of joy and a bond that inspires us all.

Meeting Bri when I was seven truly changed my life in so many ways. She introduced me to things I never would have experienced otherwise, like cheerleading, which became a huge part of my life. Through her, I discovered passions and hobbies that shaped who I am today. But beyond all the activities and experiences, it’s the bond we’ve built that means the most to me. Our relationship has always been filled with support, laughter, and love, and I cherish every moment we’ve shared. She’s not just a my dad’s girlfriend/ wifeyyy she is my bonus momma; she’s family, and I love her more than words can express. Watching my dad fall in love with Bri has been one of the most special things I’ve ever witnessed. Their relationship is a beautiful example of how love should be—supportive, caring, and full of mutual respect. It shows me the kind of love that I hope to have in my own life someday. Seeing them together, so happy and connected, gives me so much joy and comfort. I’m grateful for the way they treat each other and the love they share. I truly wish them nothing but the best as they continue their journey together. Their love is something I admire and hold dear.

SISTA!! Well, well, well, where do I begin? Little into our secrets, I inherited this special person through our dad. He became my godfather in 1995 when my mom passed and treated me like his own thereafter. His children became my siblings whether they wanted to or not lol. Me and Bri shared so many special parts of our lives with each other growing up. We even share the same exact birthday. Yup 3/3, and we are the opposite and the same. It’s funny how that happens. And love…. We are both hopeless romantics and love, love. Brian has always been a pretty dope guy. I love how he loves my sister and the children. They move together as a unit, and I have always admired their relationship. I’m so happy to get a chance to share this beautiful moment with them both. Brian you are my brother and whatever you need, let me know. We gang gang!

I believe Bri and first met at a family function with Brian. I was dying to meet her because I needed to know WHO was the lady in his life that brought him that good cologne for his birthday. We connected over our passion for makeup and that was it. Our cousinship was solidified when Bri asked me to come with her to do a photoshoot at the beach. It was a long night but I was down to hang. On our late-night ride to the beach, Bri played some music to help me stay awake during the drive. As soon as I heard “Don’t know if ya got a girl”, I knew we would be locked in forever! I told Brian that I was keeping her. Since then, our name for each other is “Cousin”. She has been there for me and if she needs me, I am there. No questions asked! I can’t wait for this day to come. P.S. we are having a Teedra Moses dance”

Bri and I “met” many years ago at Cheer Explosion. My mom owned the gym. Bri was one of her Senior cheerleaders and I was a mini. I don’t know that we ever even had a conversation at that point but many years later she came back to the program with her Bonus Daughter, and we became fast friends. I think we bonded over our love for over-the-top parties. Our friendship has become something bigger than parties and is really important to me. It feels good to know you have someone there for you regardless of anything that happens. I know she’s going to be there, and I can trust her, trust for me is not easy, everyone I meet has to earn my trust. It’s a blessing to know you have someone you can trust and depend on. Even though I know there are times she wants to block my number, I also know I’m the little sister she never knew she needed until we came back in each other lives. I love you and I am honored to stand with you on your special day. Congratulations Bri and Brian!

Bri and I met over 20 years ago when she joined our cheer program. We weren’t on the same team but bonded off the floor during practices and at competitions. You couldn’t help but to just gravitate to her personality. If you know Bri, you know once your locked in with her, there’s no turning back, and your family for life. Fast forward years down the line, she came back to our program with her bonus daughter. We went from teammates to cheer moms. I coach so sometimes I can’t be there in between the performances and warm-ups, Bri held it down for me with my girls when I couldn’t be there. Forever grateful for my sisterwife. I am so excited for Bri and Brian! Congratulations to you both!

I met my brother Brian when I was just twelve years old. And I say “brother” because that’s exactly what he’s been to me ever since. From the very beginning, Brian and his family embraced me as one of their own. They never made me feel like anything less than family. And when you’re that young, those kinds of bonds leave an imprint on your heart that lasts forever. I’ve been with my wife for 20 years, and I’ve always said that Brian, his mom, and his dad played a major role in the man—and more importantly, the father and husband—I’ve become. Their kindness, their strength, their example of unity, it shaped me. It showed me what love in action really looks like. And now, seeing Brian take this next step with Briahna, I can’t help but feel proud. Because I know that what you’re building together is rooted in that same kind of love. The kind that welcomes, the kind that supports, the kind that lasts. So, as you both step forward into this next chapter, know that you carry with you not just your own dreams, but the love and legacy of the families that raised you, supported you, and helped shape who you are. May your love be full of laughter, patience, forgiveness, and faith. May you always remember that the most meaningful journeys are the ones walked hand in hand. And may your love be the kind that inspires others, just as your lives have inspired mine.

I’ve known Brian since our early teens, he lived the next street over and he used to have all the cool video games. What started as a neighborhood friendship has turned into more than 30 years of brotherhood, laughs, and real conversations. Brian is the kind of friend who can joke around all day, but will also give you the honest truth when you need it—whether you’re ready to hear it or not. Fun fact-I’ve been telling Brian for years that I had ten days banked for when he finally decided to pull the trigger… of course he waits until I leave that job. Jokes aside, I couldn’t be prouder of the man he’s become, even prouder of the father he is, and I have no doubt he’ll be an incredible husband. Brian and Briahna, I wish you both nothing but the best. -Glove

My brotherhood with Brian started at Nanny’s house when we were toddlers. From that moment, a unique bond formed that only Nanny’s kids could fully comprehend. Through the years, our friendship grew stronger through competitive sports. We played baseball against each other and joined forces on the football field for HFL Midget Eagles and Hamilton High School West Hornets. Fast forward years later, leading to the day when Brian met Bri. I can take partial credit for this introduction; I needed an accompanying guest for an event my sister friend Candi invited me to, and Brian was available. The rest of the story is history, and I’m looking forward to the future memories they will make together. Congratulations B&B!

FYI I was around before all of the best men but I had a destiny to populate the Earth. I'm back now. Funny how walking to the bus stop back in 1991 has lead to a life long friendship and brotherhood. Nothing brings more joy to me than to see someone I Love be happy and fulfilled because of who they chose as a partner. I am honored to be chosen to share this day with Brian and Briahna. See yall soon!

Brian and I met back in the summer of ‘98. Two 17 year old kids at Nova trying to find our way. We were fast friends even though we were technically competing for time. One cat from Trenton and one cat from Baltimore, we shared a competitive spirit that connected us quickly. We always had each other’s backs and BWhite always pushed me to be the best player I could be. One thing I found out very quickly about B is that he’s an extremely loyal friend, one of the brightest people I’ve ever met, he’s friends with everybody, and he will always be in your corner. As teammates, roommates, and all-time beer pong champions, we’ve seen each other at our best (and worst moments) but those shared memories and experiences are what creates family. We grew from kids into adulthood and now we’re on the other side as parents. I am so happy that he and Bri have each other. I am proud to call him family and I’m happy for them both! Here’s to a lifetime full of love and happiness!
