Jordan & Elizabeth
Wedding Party
Kennedi Harris
Maid of Honor
"We met at Westlake High School, bonded at Chick-Fil-A, and our friendship was forever cemented at Tuskegee University. What we share cannot be reduced to roommates, co-workers, karaoke partners, or even line sisters—Elizabeth is my soulmate in friendship. In a world where true best friends are few and far between, I am grateful to have found mine. Til' infinity. When Jordan came along to sweep Liz off her feet, I had to adjust to the fact that there was a different pea in her pod. But as I witnessed Jordan’s kindness and compassion, I realized there was no better man fit to love, cherish, and take care of my friend. Throughout the years, we’ve shared countless memories, laughter, and 3-way FaceTime calls. So I’m grateful because instead of one best friend, I found two. And I can’t wait to celebrate their union!"
Glenn Dickerson
Best Man
"After being in the same classes every year in college and roommates for two; some things are likely inevitable between two individuals: either they would grow tired of each other or become best friends. In Jordan's and my case, it was the latter. Our friendship is not complex; it's just easy and natural. We bond over humour and laughter, often finding ourselves having a great time even when talking about nothing of significance. I've known Liz for about as long as I've known Jordan, and seeing their relationship grow over the years has been truly uplifting. From their playful fights over Hot Cheetos in the computer lab to their heartfelt moments leading up to this special day, it's been a privilege to witness their journey. Being a part of this precious bond and seeing them come together as one at the altar is an honour that I cherish deeply."

“Elizabeth and I share affinity for many things! …The challenges of human anatomy, love of skincare, makeup, all things glam and natural beauty, and a newfound—for me anyway—shared enjoyment of personal fitness and strength training. Elizabeth has always given so much to me, even as a young child. Though sometimes begrudgingly, I could cajole Elizabeth into many a kind gesture, and it was often delivered with a smile—she made the best pancakes for us as kids! To this day Elizabeth is a needed voice of calm and levity for me. She brings light to so many and I’m thankful to stand by her side and cheer her on as she does so well for me—especially when I want to call it a day and leave the gym! Jordan is such an awesome counterpart to Elizabeth and has truly integrated himself into our family. He and I differ on the most memorable moment after we first met but a moment that stands out in my mind, and truly speaks to Jordan’s character, occurred while he travelled with my family to New Orleans for my medical school graduation. We visited the famed Whitney Plantation and Jordan wondered as to how the enslaved people would have been ministered to or nurtured with the gospel. I thought that quandary spoke so much of Jordan’s heart and knew then that he would be a great complement and partner for Elizabeth. I am excited to support and party with Jordan and Elizabeth on their big day—as they did so well for Brent and I!”

"I met Jordan our freshman year at Tuskegee University. We both lived in the same dorm, and he was roommates with one of my close neighbourhood friends, Jamal. I would often go down to hang out, study, and steal their snacks. Over the years, Jordan and I developed a deep friendship that was strengthened when we became line brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated. Jordan has always been a friend I can go to get a grounded perspective. It was amazing getting to know Liz more as the relationship grew stronger. It truly is incredible seeing their love continue to thrive. They are the definition of “when it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be”. I honestly can’t speak more highly of Jordan and Liz. Looking forward to celebrating their love."

"I have the privilege of being Elizabeth’s only younger sister. I had the honor of being her very first roommate, her go-to laughing buddy, personal GPS, and occasional bodyguard. I like to think I played a small role in the beginning of Elizabeth and Jordan’s story. Back in the day, I’d help Jordan skip zero period and fill him in on everything he missed so he could hang out with Elizabeth. I also served as their hallway entertainment during those early mornings, keeping things light and fun as their friendship blossomed. It fills me with so much joy to stand by their side on their upcoming day, as they continue into this next beautiful chapter together. I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate their love that is made to last, and the life they’ll continue building!"

"Jordan and I met during my Sophomore year at Tuskegee University. From the very beginning, he has always spoken highly of Liz and has consistently shown his love for her over the years. In fact, I’ve never known Jordan without Liz by his side. Despite our personality differences, Jordan has become one of my closest friends. We have countless inside jokes, and it’s amazing how we still laugh just as hard about things that happened nearly a decade ago. Through our friendship, I’ve learned a lot from him both about keeping my composure in tough situations and striving to be a better man (no shame in admitting that). I’m truly grateful to call Jordan my friend, and I couldn’t be happier to celebrate this next chapter of his life. I know he and Liz are perfect for each other, and I wish them nothing but love and happiness."

Bridesmaid
"As the couples favorite third wheel since senior prom, and sharing many commonalities with Jordan, I could be considered a platonic placeholder Jordan for Elizabeth. Her first adventurous yet calculated experiment buddy, on call exterminator, chauffeur, music concierge, caption writer, academic assistant, designer, you name it. As Elizabeth’s former personal photographer, there was once a time when my own iPhone had more pictures and photoshoots of her, than me! It’s been a treasure to witness them thrive over the years and to let my career and vibe twin Jordan graciously fill the many roles I once held. Now let’s #CrankDatCrawford!"

"Jordan and I first met each other during my sophomore year, but it wasn’t until we became roommates junior year that our bond truly solidified. Through countless laughs, shared struggles, and unforgettable moments, he became more than just a friend—he became my brother, my back, and my voice of reason; someone I could count on. I was also blessed to meet Liz at Tuskegee, and from the start, it was clear that their love was something special. Seeing them grow together is an inspiring and beautiful sight to see. I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate their union!"

"As Elizabeth’s fellow musical enthusiast, I’ve had the joy of sharing countless sing-alongs, movie marathons, and book obsessions with her. From deep dives into novels to the time we boldly emailed an author and actually got a response (a true literary fangirl moment!), our bond has always been built on stories, laughter, and love. Jordan is the younger brother I never knew I needed—or wanted. He fully embraces having a slew of older sisters and never misses an opportunity to remind me LOL. As Elizabeth's older sister, I’ve had the privilege of watching her and Jordan’s love story blossom and seeing them grow into the incredible adults they are today. I couldn't be more excited to support them in this next chapter of their journey!"

"I first met Jordan and Elizabeth during our freshman year at Tuskegee, and since then, they’ve become more like family to me. Jordan and I have been roommates, line brothers, and wannabe cigar connoisseurs. We give each other more TV show recommendations than we can keep up with, and over time, he’s become one of my closest friends and the voice of reason when I need a different perspective. Elizabeth has been supportive of every accomplishment, big or small, since day one, and our inside jokes have only gotten better with time. Their friendship means the world to me, and I couldn’t be happier to celebrate this next chapter in their lives."
Christina Dixon
Bridesmaid
"Hi, I’m Christina and I’m beyond honoured to be standing by my little sister Elizabeth on her big day! As her older sister—and part-time second mom—I’ve had the joy (and occasional challenge) of helping raise her into the incredible woman she is today. From teaching her life lessons to making sure she she stopped crying (ask our mom) I like to think I’ve earned at least a partial stake in her success. Watching her find love with Jordan has been such a heartwarming experience (and a huge relief—now it’s his turn to take care of her!). I couldn’t be happier to see her start this next chapter with someone who makes her laugh, supports her dreams, and willingly puts up with her quirks. In all seriousness, I couldn’t be more proud of the young woman Elizabeth has grown into to be. The love and respect she has for Jordan. The care and dedication Jordan has for her is priceless. I wish them a lifetime of love and happiness. Here’s to the happy couple!"

"During my freshman year at Tuskegee University, Jordan and I met in Younge Hall. He was always friendly and had a positive outlook on life. Although we didn’t share the same major, we often ran into each other since we lived in the same dorm. Not long after meeting Jordan, I was introduced to Elizabeth. Together, they had a special energy—whenever they were around each other, they seemed to glow. They were the kind of people who made any space feel warmer. As time went on, Jordan and I crossed paths again when we pledged on the same line for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. That experience brought us even closer, and I learned a lot from him about staying positive and embracing life’s journey. Jordan isn’t just a friend—he’s a brother, and I’m grateful to have him in my corner."
