Kaila Jackson
Bridesmaid
Sister to the groom but do not let her eyes fool you, she is super protective of her only brother. Candace label her as her "mini me" because of how much they are alike. Kaila is the youngest of the bridesmaids, but she has the biggest personality of them all. Meet Kaila Jackson everyone.
Ashton Johnson
Groomsman
Also a cousin of the Groom, he’s the youngest male in our wedding but do not be fooled! Ashton is very protective when it comes to the Groom. He’s the most reserved of the wedding party, but also the funniest! He always dress to impress, Ashton is one who is always ready to “go before the people." He is like a little brother to Napoleon; going all the way back to Rose City Daycare, where it all started. What better person to have stand behind Napoleon?
