Man of Honor
Alexis: Mason is literally my little best friend. The conversations with him is quite comical and sometimes have me convinced he has been here before. His smile is what brightens my worst days. I thought I wasn't ready for motherhood but he truly shaped me to be the mother and woman I am now. I love being his mommy and I couldn't have asked for a better child, on most days at least. Cameron: Mason has been a bonus to my life. He is such a energetic kid and full of questions. He keeps me laughing because there is never a dull moment with him. He amazes me daily because his mind is much wiser than a 4 year old.
Honorary Matron of Honor
If you see the title change for her role, know she changed her title lol. Kendra is my oldest sister and the boss out of all of us. If I need one of my sisters to get mad with me, I’m calling her. We are sisters and friends.
Honorary Matron of Honor
Olivia is the middle sister. If you see me amazed by her outfit on wedding day, know that it’s because she said I can’t see what she is wearing. She’s the sister I’ll call if I need to be prayed for. We are sisters and friends.
Matron of Honor
Artavia and I are line sisters and bonded instantly. On April 21, 2013, I gained another sister for life. Before moving away, she would make me shop with her every Saturday. I don't know why I would get in the car with her, knowing she drive crazy and she made me spend money, but I did. Now that she is gone (and I miss her a little), I can save money (unless she is sending me deals or coming up with different ways to be creative). She supports my creativity and let me be me..on most days.
Maid of Honor
Jennie and I met in middle school and became friends. We went separate ways in high school but remained in touch. It was when we both returned home and started attending college here is when we became inseparable. From random lunch adventures, to stalking, and some other things, I knew she was my ride or die. If I didn't know, it was confirmed when I was on a bad date and she called me with this dramatic story that saved me from the date and freed me.
Bridesmaid
Crystal and I met through her roommate at Savannah State University. We bonded like no other. We starved together (because we were too stubborn to go the cafeteria), partied together, and scheduled classes to take together. She is my personal photographer when we are together. She gets my logic and can talk me off the cliff in no time. Her loyalty is great and I can always count on her to do something crazy that will make me die laughing.
Bridesmaid
Kaalynn was my first live baby doll. She was real cool to have until I realized I couldn't give her back. The moment I realized that, my life was ruined, so I thought. As time went on, we stopped fighting so much and we developed a better relationship. She became my ride or die, literally. She held secrets for me (even when the police was involved - it is okay, we came clean y'all). She's sent crazy messages (that I don't always agree with) in my defense and much more. She's loyal to those she love.
Bridesmaid
Line siiissstterrr. That's what we say to each other every time we see each other. Stephanie and I went to elementary school and was on the step team together. Since she was a grade under me, we didn't keep in touch. Who would have ever though the best sorority would bring us back together. We bonded like no other and have been two peas in a pod since. She's loyal, helpful, and anything I need. I know that she is one call away when I need her the most.
Bridesmaid
Garnisha and I have been friends for a few years now. I am not exactly sure when we met but I do know our church, Tabernacle Baptist Church, brought us together. Life is what made our relationship. She is one of the most giving people you can ever meet, even if she can go from sweet to crazy in 3 seconds (it's the Haitian in her). She is motivating and always there at the right times. She encourages and laughs at my craziest, which is what I need the most.
Junior Bridesmaid
Jordyn is my niece, you know the baller niece that I am talking about. Jordyn is the most humble person I know. She excels in everything she puts her hands on which makes it so easy calling her auntie. She is driving now and I am waiting to get payback on all the times I had to take her somewhere lol.
Junior Bridesmaid
Jaida used to be joined at my hip until she decided to grow up some. I am appreciative that she calls me bestie and I love that she feels she can vent to me. She is the youngest of the auntie pack, sometimes that shows but I am not complaining. She is the most caring young person that I have ever met. She is always considerate of others.

Best Man
Brother of Groom Arsenio is my one and only little brother. I met him back in March of 1989 when our mom birthed him lol! He also is my traveling partner. I can always count on him to jump on a plane and just go to some random city.
Best Man
Mike is someone I’ve known since childhood. My younger brother and him were very close throughout school. After finishing high school, we started working at the same place and became cool. Being young and needing to split bills we became roommates for about 5 years until he started his family.
Groomsman
Ray is another friend since childhood. Him and my brother were also very close during school. During college summer breaks, Ray & I grew very close. We were the only ones in our little home town and we were bored. We would travel everywhere to go party and do foolish stuff. I remember spending 12 hours or more at his house on any given day lol.
Groomsman
Jon is my little brother from another mother. We met while working together at Cintas Corporation. Jon was 18 years old, fresh out of high school and full of energy. It’s funny that we are so cool now because he didn’t like me at first. I would correct him, tell him to calm down and pull up his pants lol. I changed my approach with him, offered brotherly advice and he started to call me his big brother.
Groomsman
Dominique and I met about 3 years ago at a seminar he was hosting with a friend of mine. At the end of the event, we shook hands and exchanged information because we both served the community. As time passed, Dominique and I both launched youth organizations. We both had a passion for empowering youth and while working together a brotherhood bond was formed. Dominique is a brother, accountability partner and business partner.
Groomsman
Armond is from my hometown area but I didn’t get to know him until we became young adults. I really don’t have any clue on how we became so cool. I just know on the weekends we would hit each other up, ride out to the mall and other stuff.
Junior Groomsmen
Joshua was my first son. For that reason, the auntie gang believes he is my favorite. His active behavior prepared me for motherhood. He’s a gentle giant on and off the court. His quiet demeanor is one of a kind. He makes me such a proud auntie as he continues to rise above. I can always count on a hug from him.
Junior Groomsman
PJ is our honorary nephew lol! His mom Garnisha is a good friend of both of us. Over the years they have became family.

Hostess
Tabernacle brought us together. Delta keeps us together. Melissa, better known to me as Mellissa, comes with so much wisdom. She challenges me but also let me be. She is a great role model and I am honored to call her a bonus sister.
Hostess
Karlisha (or Karnisha) is someone I met through Tabernacle. We realized we were sorority sisters and instantly bonded. She gets me and lets me be me. She is my voice of reasoning in such a way that makes me reflect on what she said afterwards.
Hostess
Quita and I met at Savannah State and instantly bonded. She was my getaway whenever I needed a break from campus. She fed me all the time. She even used to grocery shop with me in mind. I could always count on her to make sure I was right before parties too lol. Most importantly, she gave me my first Godson.
Hostess
Jill and I met about a year ago through a young man I have grown to call family. Jill's spirit is one of a kind and I knew she would be a great addition to our family. She is a Soror, friend, and a delight to be around. Our relationship has developed beyond what I could have imagined. Our short talks turn into long talks leaving me enlightened and impressed by her maturity.

I met Labert at Tabernacle around his sophomore year in high school. I served as a mentor for Gentleman For Gor (G4G) Mentoring Ministry and he was one of the young men that attended. Labert was always outgoing and reminded me so much of myself. It was when he finished high school and went to college we got closer. I’ve been his mentor during some of high school and during his whole college time.
Usher
I met Laxavier while volunteering as a mentor in the Gentlemen for God Mentoring Ministry at Tabernacle Baptist Church. I became one of his mentor during his teenage years. We connected a little more when he went off to college. Over the years he has became more of a nephew to me. I’ve became an honorary uncle to him and his siblings.
