Best Man
I've known this young man his whole life. Literally! He's my oldest but at the same time he's the one person I know will always be truthful with me no matter how it may hurt me. He is truly one of my best of best friends.
Matron of Honor
This is my big "little" sister. She has always had an amazing spirit and supported me in every single thing that I did. Whether it was sports, graduations, or anything in between she is someone that I can always rely on.
Groomsman
We pledged together, we lived together, and we've had some heart to hearts. He's one of my favorite line brother's.
Bridesmaid
This is one of my wonderful younger sisters. She has always been my biggest headache, but in a good way. That's what little sisters are for. Her big heart has always been very protective over me, even if I am older. She supports me and I know she will forever have my back no matter what.
Groomsman
Before the frat and the degrees, we clicked almost right away as college teammates and he's been my Dawg every since.
Bridesmaid
We first met during a summer freshman program at UAPB where we became suite mates and great friends. My leg even swollen up during that summer where I couldn't walk and she always made sure I was okay and drove me everywhere with no hesitation in her on blast, freezing car. (smiles) From then on our friendship grew and grew.
Groomsman
A friendship that started as office-mates at work has turned to the guy I call to talk trash to and BS. Definitely, a true friend.
Bridesmaid
Our friendship started a looooooonnnggggg time ago. I can barely remember when she was not around growing up. We first met in church and the rest is history. She is the wonderful mother of my God daughter Devyn. She is one of the few people that has seen me transition through out life and that I could rely on if I ever needed anything.
Groomsman
They say we cousins, but through our teenage years you would have sworn we were brothers. He was one of my support systems that kept me focus back in the day.
Bridesmaid
This is one friend that I could always rely on to make me leave the room in college to beat someone in cards or go out. She is even the one friend who will take a random trip and visit even if it is for one day. We met during my freshman year and became great friends and sorority sisters for life.
Groomsman
This man is already my brother. He's an old spirit that likes the finer things in life and I can respect that.
Bridesmaid
This is basically my adult life travel friend. We first met in the summer at college during my freshman year at UAPB. Who knew we would get the same degree, pledge the same sorority, become line sisters, go from Arkansas, then Mississippi, then Virginia, and then near the DMV. Yep, we have been everywhere together. She is a fun spirit and the life of the party.
Groomsman
Already my brother before the marriage. He's a hostile young man but he's responsible and driven so you know I have to claim him as blood.
Bridesmaid
She will soon be my future Sister in Law. She is great all around and has a great personality. She welcomed me in from the moment that I met her and I couldn't be more grateful.
Groomsman
From college football, to Greek life, to adulthood we have been friends through the distance and life changes. A real friend to the end.
Bridesmaid
Who knew the person I shared a seat with at our college graduation would become my roommate and grow into being great friends. This is the person I could start talking to late at night and not realize the sun was rising before we were done. She has always been a listening ear and the only other person who can say they are from Cali besides me. (big smile)
Groomsman
This is my one true (VA) Day 1 friend. He's been there and supported me through numerous chapters of my life we have had a lot of good laughs and stories over the years.
Bridesmaid
We first met at UAPB together during a summer program and ended up being great friends ever since. She has a great heart and one of my longtime friends who I can actually say brings all of the jokes and laughs every time that I see her. She is someone who you can talk to and always has been supportive through everything.
Ring Bearer
He is a handful with a bright smile. The youngest son but definitely not a push over. He's 1/3 of Zakee's heart.
Flower Girl
This is my beautiful niece. She brings a big smile and the dance moves to the party!
