Brianna & Malik
Wedding Party
Jasmine Pippins
Maid of Honor
I guess you can say Brianna & Jasmine were born to be best friends! Their mothers are best friends so it just makes sense! They have always been inseparable and are as close to sisters as anyone can get! Jasmine knows her sister like she knows her own mind!
John Cruz
Best Man
John's love of fried chicken and Malik's love for Asian cuisine became the basis for their friendship. That should tell you everything you need to know about them! John's laid-back demeanor always shocked Malik (in a good way) and even inspired him to step out of his comfort zone. Despite their constant bickering, there is not a single moment Malik has ever regretted having John as a best friend.
Halley Lanier
Maid of Honor
Was it ever a question that Brianna’s best friend Halley would be the Maid of Honor? Halley & Brianna have known each other for their entire lives. Halley has always been there to guide Brianna through anything, big and small. Expect to see Halley by her “Beeda’s” side on the big day!
William Garrett, III
Best Man
Like many of Malik's friendships, Will and Malik made an unlikely pair. In fact, Malik wasn't sure if Will even liked him at first! However, five years later, Will has become the brother Malik always hoped for, and when it came to who he wanted by his side on this special day there wasn't any doubt in his mind that Will would be that person.
G’mia McGlown
Bridesmaid
They went into chemistry freshman year expecting to at least leave with a passing grade. Little did they know, they would be leaving with a new best friend (& the grades too!). There are very little things G’mia wouldn’t do for Brianna. 4”11 G’mia even offered to carry 5”10 Brianna on her back after Brianna sprained her ankle, just months after meeting G’mia! “Migi” will be there supporting Brianna on the big day, like always!
Tyler Flowers
Groomsman
Tyler is Malik's "back." And if you don't know what that means just look to their friendship for the answer. Tyler constantly challenges Malik, which would normally seem like an issue in a friendship. However, for these two this couldn't be further from the truth.
Sanitria Armistad
Bridesmaid
As Brianna’s older cousin, Sanitria and Brianna have been there for the major moments in each other’s life! Sanitria was there to go to prom with Brianna and Malik their first time. Brianna was the first one to hold Sanitria’s daughter after she was born. Brianna was there by Sanitria’s side on her wedding day and, of course, Sanitria will be on Brianna’s side for her wedding. It just makes sense!
Corey Johnson
Groomsman
Corey is often referred to as the "Glue" of the group. Throughout any moment of bickering, Corey can always be depended on to lighten the mood and provide an opportunity for compromise. Whether it's grabbing a beer or discussing politics Malik can always count on Corey for a good time.
Kailyn Thomas
Bridesmaid
If she wasn’t one of Brianna’s bridesmaids, she would have definitely been on Malik’s side. Kailyn met the couple during their first year at UA as she was Brianna’s college roommate! Kailyn is a blessing and if you spend just minutes around her, it’s easy to see. She goes above and beyond, again and again!
Neil Malone
Groomsman
Neil was one of the first people Malik met at UA. He's always provided a sense of calm and stability to their friendship that Malik has cherished throughout the years. Like the expression goes "Iron sharpens iron" Neil continuously inspires Malik to expect more.
Patrice Harris
Bridesmaid
Brianna can not remember a time when her cousin Patrice wasn't in her life. Countless stories can be told about their time together, from sleepovers to big events. As family, they had front-row seats in each other's lives. Why would Patrice not get one of the best seats in the house at the wedding?
Jay Little-Cunningham
Groomsman
Truthfully Jay and Malik didn't like each other at first (so they say). However, in college things changed and these two found out they are "Two sides of the same coin". Fast forward 4 years and Jay has become one of Malik's closest friends and he couldn't imagine his life without his brother.
Aaliyah Armistad
Flower Girl
Though she loves Brianna and doesn't love Malik, who wouldn't make her the flower girl?!
