Maid of Honor
I first met Lisa Hickman Hickman at my fathers nearly 25 years ago, as a 15 year old teenager. Through the years we have shard many memories together. Sometimes I sit back and think about all the church youth conventions, bake sales, college road trips, cruise vacations, and military shopping trips we had. I can honestly say that we have shared many memories together. I knew that you had to be apart of my weeding celebration.
Matron of Honor
Stephanie, when you agreed to be a part of my wedding party I knew that I had nothing to worry about (Lol). I’ve seen you in action and you’re no joke. But honestly, I want to thank you for being such a great friend. You are the best matron of honor any bride could wish for. Stephanie, I will forever be grateful for your guidance, and support throughout my wedding process. Thank you in advance for helping to make my special day, Sept 27th one that I will cherish for a lifetime!
Bridesmaid
When I think of Tashay Frazier, Proverbs 18:24 comes to my mind (A man/woman that hath friends must show himself friendly). I met Tashay August 1996 while attending Rust college. I would always come into her room for food, laughs, and lots of girl talk. Tashay became my best friend/ sister. I must say that even though I’m not able to speak to her as often as I would like, we seem to always pick up right where we left off when we do talk. More importantly, we have both prayed for each other throughout our journey in life. Tashay you are a true friend, and I praise God for you and admire you for the wonderful person you are inside and out, your friendship is unreplaceable .
Bridesmaid
A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life. Jennifer, you are all of that and more. You are a precious from God, one that is un-replaceable . I am so excited and happy that you have chosen to be a part of my special day. Throughout our sisterhood you have always been there to encourage me when needed, and laugh at times when its well over due. (Aka: Jennie on the block ,my little sister) I miss you dearly and can’t wait to see you.
Bridesmaid

God places angles in our life’s, and you are one of them. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day.
Bridesmaid
Felisia you are the mother of the four sisters. I have always looked up to you to do the right thing. Being the oldest is a hard role to play, and you’re doing a superb job . I'm truly blessed to have you in my life as a spiritual & natural sister for life. Thanks for always being team Crissy. AKA: LeLa. Thank you for being apart of our special day.

Bridesmaid
Sharon is my bestie when it comes to a good old fashion church tambourine (Lol.) We both met at Greater Morning Star, and I felt like I was meeting my twin for the first time ever. Mrs. Jefferies reminds me so much of myself. Thanks for all the girl talks and shopping together. Your friendship is genuine, and for that I am grateful.
Bridesmaid
Adria having a sister-in-law like you makes life so much easier. It’s like I didn’t just gain a future partner in life, but I also got a new sister that I can talk to about anything! Adria from the first day we met I knew that we would be friends. I Thank God for blessing me with an awesome family and a sister-in-law that rocks.
Groom's Sidekick
One of the best things that God has blessed me with is having this young man as my son. I am honored to have him by my side. Anyone who knows us, knows that we have a strong bond.
Best Man
I've been knowing this guy for close to 5 years. It's not everyday that you meet someone who treats you like family. It's good to have a spiritual brother that I can count on. Someone who doesn't tell me what I want to hear, but what I need to hear. He always have a scripture to back up what he is saying. LOL
Honorary Best Man
Can you say 27 years of a brotherhood bond? I met this dude back in 5th grade. He was one of the first people I met when I came to a new school. We have been brothers ever since. I can't recall ever having an argument of disagreement with him. I don't ever have to question if I can depend on him.
Groomsman
We have been friends for 29 years. Wow! This guy I also consider my brother. He is another one that I know I can depend on. We may not talk everyday, but when we do, it's like we picked up from where we left off. That's hard to come by.
Groomsman
This is my second oldest brother. It was great growing up with him. I always knew that if I got myself in trouble, that my brother would be there to help me out. We are brothers, business partners, and friends. How many people can say that about their sibling?
Groomsman
Well this guy here is my youngest brother. I called him a little rugrat when he was younger because he and my younger sister (his twin) took my place as the youngest child. Quickly I realized that it was cool being an older brother. This guy has made me proud with everything that he has accomplished.
Groomsman
He's a good guy. I've been knowing him close to 5 years. I met him through his brother-in-law and one of my best men Jack Toy. He is another one that I can depend on. He has a good heart. He is always willing to lend a helping hand and give a spiritual word.
Groomsman
I guess I have been knowing Ray for about 3 years. We met at church. He has always been a good brother. He has a great sense of humor. Anyone that knows me, knows you have to have a sense of humor if we are going to be friends. Ray has always been the same. We joke around all the time about each others cooking skills. But at the end of the day, we both are great cooks and good friends.
Groomsman
I met Derrick this year at church. Him and his wife are great people. Some people it takes a little time to build a friendship but with Derrick, it came naturally. He reminds me of myself when I was his age. He is a young man that is serious about serving the Lord.
Groomsman
This young man here is soon to be my nephew. He also reminds me of myself when I was his age. You could not tell me that I couldn't dress and you better not tell Jeryd that he can not dress either. LOL He already tried to give me some pointers but he will quickly be schooled real soon by his uncle to be... LOL
Ring Bearer
London will soon be my nephew. He is a great kid and very talented in sports and playing the piano. He has a very important task at the wedding. He is responsible for guarding our rings. London aka "Ring Security", you're the best!
Wedding Announcer
Bryce is my soon to be nephew. He is full of life and loves family. He's a unique young man in that he can use both of his hands as a dominant hand. I wish I had that gift...
Usher
I met Daniel about 3 years ago at church. I became his Realtor and I am blessed to call him my friend. I don't think I ever seen him with a frown. This dude always stay smiling and always have good energy. It's a good thing to have people in your circle like him.
Usher
I also met Ronald at church about 4 years ago. He has always been a humbled young man of God. One thing that him and I have in common is the gift of song writing. He is a good brother. That's going to do great things in the Kingdom of God.
Mother of the Groom
This lady here is my Rock. I love her to the moon and back and then some. She is the Queen of my family. She has always supported me and loved me unconditionally. She is a true example of what it is to be a great wife. I'm honored to be her son!
Father of the Groom
When I think of a God fearing man, I think of my father. He loves the Lord and he will not take down from his word. He taught me at an early age that serving the Lord is going to pay off. He is a true example of a husband and a father that is the first partaker when it comes to serving the Lord. Many of my good qualities comes from him.
mother/ father of the bride ( A powerful couple)
Mom: One may call you Alice The Great, 1st Lady, Sis. Lucie & even Mrs. Ross. To me you’re the world’s greatest mother, thank you for working so hard to make me the person that I am. Thank you for showing me this wonderful world of mutual love, fulfilled dreams, & unconditional happiness. Dad: Sep 27th, you will no longer be my man any more. LOL. But dad you will always be my father/ best guy friend. As a little girl you protected me. As a youth you guarded me. As a young lady you gave me guidance & direction. On my wedding day I know I’ll see a tear roll down your cheek. I know I’ll hear your voice crack when you answer the minister's question "Who give her to this man?". LOL. I know you’ll be proud of me. My love for you dad goes to infinity & beyond.
Wedding Coordinators ( Jessica Wilson & Millicent Greene)
Jessica and Millicent, you are amazing. By far the best wedding planners ever. You’re professional, poised and gracious at all times. Ask J.E.S.S, I can only imagine the atmosphere that you guys are going to create. We appreciate you more than words can say. Without your help our picture-perfect day would not come true. I’ve always wanted an all white party, and I can’t wait.

Usher
Kijuan and I met about 5 years ago. He is a good brother. He is someone who always have an encouraging word to say. He is a brother that I can count on and trust. We may not talk everyday, but when we do talk, it's like the conversation picks right up from where we left off. I am grateful that you could take part in this special day!
Usher
I met Byron about 5 years ago through his father Elder Richard Lawrence, who is also my friend. There are many things that I can say about Byron. He is a humbled young man who loves to serve the Lord. You will never catch him without a smile on his face. He is always willing to lend a helping hand. He just have a great spirit overall. I know that he will do a great job on the big day.
Lead- Hostess
I first met sis Toinette through Kenny. One Sunday I came to church and asked Toinette to move over in the seat, so I could sit next to Kenny, she almost lost her holly ghost, we have been friends ever since. I was drawn to her because of her genuine lovely spirit. Sis Toinette, I thank you for taking on such an important role in our weeding day.
Hostess
I have known Shekinah since I was a teenager. I can’t believe she left Cali for the DMV before I did (Lol). I must say she has grown into a fine young attorney at law. Shekinah I am delighted and thrilled that you are going to be a part of our special day.

Lil. Langston, what can I say? You are a special little guy. I will soon officially be your uncle, but I acknowledge you as my nephew right now. You are such a happy little boy and you bring joy to anyone who is around you. I cherish the little conversations (aka baby talk) that we have. Lol
