Many years ago, I was introduced to this brother by my best man (Kyle). And to call him a friend would be short changing both of us. Zack has seen me through many transitions in my life. He has always been a voice of reason irregardless of the situation (insider). LOL.. Honestly he's gotta be one of the most genuine people I know! There are so many great moments mixed up in all these years. All I can say is there aren't many people you can give the title of brother to in your life but I'm proud to call this guy my brother!
Maid of Honor
Not much can be said about Chandra, besides the fact that she is my sister/BFF/mother/baby momma/counselor/life coach/personal roaster/motivator/make-up artist/hair stylist/ role model...oh yeah, and among other things, she's my maid of honor! I have looked up to her all of my life, I can't make any major decisions without her. Can't go a day without talking to her. She literally means the world to me!
Matron of Honor
Behind every good woman, is a best friend "hype-man"! Since we were teenagers, she was my hype-man on the dance floor and I was her hype-man in the kitchen. Her and Kyle are the sole reasons I am so fortunate to marry this amazing man so I owe her/them more than anything imaginable! I am honored to have her in my life, in my wedding and especially as my Matron of Honor.
Bridesmaid
Growing up we were sometimes confused as sisters and we have had an amazing bond ever since. Not only has she been an amazing sister but also a friend, support system and wingman! She is a true friend indeed. I made sure that I didn't miss her wedding day and I was so proud to be her bridesmaid while she smized (insider) down the aisle. It wouldn't be the same without her next to me.
Bridesmaid
Modeling might have drawn us together but her personality made me hold on to her on like a bald headed woman to her wig on a rollercoaster! First time meeting her I renamed her my "model BFF" and even after we retired our runway heels, we still remained friends. She is so supportive, loving, genuine and fun to be around. I couldn't imagine not having her by my side.
Bridesmaid
Salina is one of the 1st kids that I was a nanny for and now she's one of my bridesmaids! Her mother (my God Mother, Terina) has been such an irreplaceable pillar in my life and Salina is like those perfectly salted bonus french fries in the bottom of the bag! I'm so proud of the woman that Salina has become. If I could take credit for even an ounce of her success and growth, I would be overjoyed.

Ahhh this guy... My man 100 grand! We met in the Air Force. I was his sponsor which meant I was supposed to take him around base and help him in-process from tech school. What really happened was I showed him how to scam the system LOL and we've been family ever since! He's always been someone I could lean on for whatever! Kept me in the proper headspace when things got rough and was always in my corner! With him being a sports agent we dont get to talk that often because he spends half the year over seas but we always pick up where we left off. I'm thankful for this brother of mine and happy that I can share this joyous moment in my life with the big homie!
Father of the Bride
I am thankful for him giving me life and loving me the best way he knows how. Thankful for being there when he could and loving me from afar when he couldn't. I'm thankful for the constant prayers, calls, texts, emails, and trips. Much love and appreciation.

Good Ol Wishius (insider). Fish and I met during my time in the Air Force. Fish was someone that took the time to mentor me and guide me through what we be a tough transition from inner city boy to Military man. Fish has always been a brother to me. He was there when I was trying to figure out my life after the Air Force along with his beautiful and supportive wife Rajeeyah (Hey Gedo!) And he's still been there since I've figured it out! As a disclaimer, Fish always serves up a good laugh when needed. Although brother Wishius is still proudly serving his country. For me, he's always a call away. Many don't know that when you leave home and serve, you leave your family only to gain another! Thank you for sharing this moment with us... love you bro... and HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!!
Father of the Groom

Mother of the Groom
Where do I start... a mothers love transcends time. Although you are Not here with us in the physical, your spirit forever lives on in me and in many that will be attending this special day. I am forever thankful for you! You have given me all the tools to be a good person, and husband because you taught me what it means to respect others, especially the ones you love. So make sure you swing by on your Harley or use those beautiful angel wings, and drop us off some of that love and support! You are sorely missed. I love you always and miss you.
Mother of the Groom
My second mom! Mother to my best man (Kyle) and groomsman (Milan). Took me on as another son many years ago when Kyle and I first met! Thank you for being a force of positivity, motivation, and love!
Mother of the Bride
Needless to say, I wouldn't be here without her. I appreciate her work ethic and all of her love she showed me while growing up to make ends meet for my siblings and I. As the baby girl and her only girly-girl (as she puts it) I'm thankful for every homecoming, turn-about and prom dress she made me in her secret anticipation of my wedding. I am extremely grateful for her presence, love, and support on this special day.

Where do I start... My man Daplife 3000! Lol... we've been through the dirt and the glow together. You've definitely been a force in my life and I'm thankful for the influence that you've had on my growth. From fashion to marital advice to just being a friend. Love you bro.
