“From the SpongeBob references, Superhero phases, and other things that are too cringy to bring up, you’ll always be my favorite (and only) big sis! I’m happy that you’ve found someone who shares your same geeky qualities..LOL I’m Jk….kinda..?… Anyways you guys are great and I’m really happy for you both. Because we are imperfect, our marriage will not be perfect. But despite the ups and downs, be sure to always keep Jehovah as a threefold cord and you will be able to get through anything! Love you guys and congratulations!!”

“Truly a bittersweet moment…I hate how old we’re all getting, leaving our parents and memories together behind as the Richmond family… but I couldn’t be happier that you’ve found someone- your new family- to spend the rest of your life with💖. The love radiating between you and Granville is clearly seen! What’s not so clear is how you’ve found someone to put up with your bighead (LOLLL, I’m obviously kidding…). Let Jehovah guide your live’s big & small decisions, and just watch the blessings come your way💖I love you both soooo much and for the millionth & 2nd time.. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!🥰”

"I still remember when China first told me about Granville. We were heavily into Minecraft at the time, and she wanted him to join our next session. I wasn't too thrilled about that but she convinced me to say yes. That night, the three of us played for HOURS and Granville and I continued to play even when China fell asleep LOL! We've all been video game partners and close friends ever since. It's been heartwarming to see y'all's relationship develop over time; You guys compliment each other so well, and I wouldn't be surprised if you've broken a few records for the longest phone calls ever made 😆. I love you both, and I know that if you continue to put Jehovah first in your life, he will bless your marriage. Congratulations!!! 😊🤟🏽💕

“The day I first met Granville was in Waffle House. And we all know what happens in Waffle House. Thankfully nothing happened, but it was the first I saw him and China together. It was great seeing one of my best friends find the love of her life. It was such an eventful day spending time with both of them together, also because I was their chaperone. I’m so glad to have the wonderful memories with China and will cherish them forever. I look forward to the memories that will continue to build with not only China as a wife, but with Granville. And like I always say…. Chai Nah & Brit Knee = Wheezy Gang 🧡 (We should get that on a T-shirt)”

Once It was my responsibility to cut the grass for my Kingdom Hall. No one showed up. I pretty much reached out to everyone I could find on my contact list. Even though we were no longer in sister congregations Granville, and only Granville, came all the way out to help me. On another occasion I got stuck helping a sister move by myself. Granville came and helped me then too. He had absolutely no obligation to help me on these occasions, we didn't even attend the same Kingdom Hall anymore but he did. He probably thinks nothing of it, but I'll never forget those displays of self sacrifice for a friend and fellow brothers and sisters he never met. I know he'll do all he can to make China happy and if they need anything I'll be here for them too. I am allergic to grass though…and helping people move…so hopefully they keep that in mind.”

“I remember when Granville started teaching me how to drive, most of the time I think I almost gave him a heart attack! But he had great patience with me and from that I knew he would be a great husband to someone one day, and China became that lucky woman. Congratulations G-Ville and China on starting a journey with plenty of obstacles ahead, but I know 1 Corinthians 13:4 is the best way to describe the love you guys have for each other.”

“One thing I know for sure is that I as I've gotten to know both Granville and China, they are some of the most genuine people I've ever met. I am proud of them both and happy to be connected to them as a friend and a brother. Sincerely, your favorite neighborhood Ohio corn boy!”

“Thank you guys so much for letting me be apart of your very special day. It’s evident how much you two love and care for each other. It’s been nice getting to know Granville and the best part is I have formed some funny memories with you two in such a short period of time 😂.. Long distance can be hard but honestly with talking on the phone so much it builds communication skills with your mate and thats the biggest step in marriage and of course reliance on Jehovah. You guys are fun to be around and I’m happy to call you two my Brother and Sister. May Jehovah continue to bless your relationship together. Cant wait for the big day 🥳”

“I remember when I first had a conversation with Granville, he called China “The Love of my Life” and “The person I want to spend the rest of my life with❤️”. In that moment I knew that Granville and China were the perfect couple. And to my sister, China I love you with all my heart and I can’t for this next big step in your life! And I know that you two will display Matthew 19:6- “What God has yoked together, let no man put apart”.”
