Crystal & Duane
Wedding Family
Samuel Joseph-Pauline
Father of the Groom
Sam is the man who started it all and can make an entire room laugh til their bellies hurt.
Michele Moncrieffe
Mother of the Groom
Nana, the proud Mama; who gives great hugs. Michele has welcomed her newfound family with open arms. She's been more than graceful about sharing her first son, Duane.
Brian Lee
Son of the Bride
Since Crystal's parents (Sherry and Basilio) have both passed away, it was imperative to her that they be represented. With that being said, it's only right since her father cannot walk her down the aisle, her son will. Brian is a free spirit and eccentric in the best ways possible. We should all aspire to be such an open book.
Christian Rogers
Ring Bearer
This guy right here, Christian, is Uncle D's buddy. Adventurous and vibrant. Always up for a task. We figured he was best suited for the ring bearer role. With his radiant personality... it only makes sense he hold the diamonds.
Ellie Joseph-Pauline
Flower Girl
This chocolate baby doll, is smart as a whip and says the darnest things. With the batting of an eye, Ellie has everyone wrapped around her little finger.
Mason Baldwin
Usher
Mr. Mason (aka Porkchop) is a whitty little boy; who keeps Auntie Crystal on her toes. We know his dad (Michael aka Mikki) is looking down on us smiling. And glad to know if he could not be a part of his sister's wedding, his son can.
Cecilio "Neo" Simons
Officiant
Crystal's Uncle Neo knows a thing or two about marriage and faith. As he has been happily married to Aunt Donna for almost thirty years. In his own marriage, he understands the full extent of God being an intricate part of it. Therefore, it's only fitting he officiate Crystal and Duane's marital union.
Theodore Simons Sr.
Grandfather to the Bride
Loving known to his grandchildren as "Dad", Ted to friends and family, this man is the Patriarch of Crystal's family. At the tender age of 90, he is to moving and grooving. We feel blessed to have him be a part of our wedding.
Doris "Pat" Simons
Stepmother of the Bride
Crystal's stepmom, know to all as Pat, will be stepping in on behalf of her mom and dad, who have passed. Though, Pat was Crystal's dad's wife, she also shared a sisterhood with her mom. Making it all the more fitting for her to share this special day with us.
