Morgan & DaJour
Wedding Party
Sophie Funari
Bridesmaid
Sophie and I were freshman and senior year roommates at Saint Mary’s College, has been a constant source of encouragement in my faith journey. She's always up for a dance party, an expert planner, and someone who could spend hours laughing and chatting over a meal in the dining hall at Saint Mary's.
Malik Montgomery
Groomsman
My cousin, lifelong friend, and brother from another mother. From childhood hangouts to being college roommates, Malik has always been by my side. Whether we were dominating pick-up basketball games (and adult leagues in Knoxville, TN) or battling it out in NBA 2K and Dragon Ball Xenoverse, his loyalty and competitive spirit make every moment unforgettable. A true jokester at heart, Malik now lives in Asheville, NC, with his girlfriend, Asia, where he’s undoubtedly keeping the laughs rolling.
Mary Kay
Bridesmaid
Mary Kay, aka 'Mary the Hot One,' and I first met freshman year of college on a trip to Indiana Dunes State Park. She’s known for her impeccable painting skills, being a dog mom to Tank, & her hilarious sense of humor!
Keyon Harrison
Groomsman
I met Keyon in high school through basketball, and his strong-willed, passionate personality instantly made him a standout friend. Known as the "Jackie Robinson of bowling," he excelled in both collegiate bowling and basketball, showcasing his incredible athleticism. These days, if we’re not playing pick-up basketball, we’re teaming up (or going head-to-head) in NBA 2K or Fortnite with the "morning crew." Keyon’s dedication to weightlifting is unmatched, and he’s now training to join the military—a testament to his discipline and drive. Above all, Keyon is an amazing dad to his son and daughter, and I’m proud to call him not just a friend, but family.
Mary Neely
Bridesmaid
Mary is known for her passion for skincare, makeup artistry, her love for Beyoncé and Notre Dame football, and her contagious laughter. Mary and I met at Saint Mary's College, where they shared a surprise birthday party senior year and made unforgettable memories as part of the 'Quad Squad.
Tyrell Jarrett
Groomsman
I first met Tyrell on the basketball court in college, where our competitive spirits instantly clicked. As die-hard Lakers fans, we bonded over our love for the game and even traveled to Los Angeles together to watch our first Lakers game live—a dream come true for both of us. Tyrell is one of the funniest people I know, always keeping the energy light and the laughs rolling. These days, he’s killing it as a rising real estate agent, and I couldn’t be prouder of the hustle.
Irla Atanda
Bridesmaid
Irla and I, both Floridians at heart, met at a church service freshman year of college. Since then, she’s been a constant source of encouragement and joy in my faith journey. Known for her compassion, contagious joy, and incredible dance and artistry skills, Irla is also my fellow spontaneous adventure gal, whether it’s traveling to see Notre Dame football games or the Olympics
Cedric Gilbert
Groomsman
I’ve known Cedric my entire life—we grew up together in Cleveland, TN, attending the same church and sharing countless memories. Our bond truly deepened in high school through our shared love for music and basketball. Whether we’re arguing about sports or debating our favorite songs and artists, Cedric’s passion and energy always make the conversation unforgettable. Beyond being an amazing friend, Cedric is an incredible dad to his daughter, Mila, and watching him thrive in fatherhood has been inspiring. A lifelong friend with a heart of gold, Cedric has been a constant in my life, and I’m grateful for his unwavering support.
Jaiko Celka
Bridesmaid
Jaiko and I met during the pandemic while playing tennis after our moms exchanged our numbers to connect them as new Atlanta residents. Known for her kindness, joy, and generosity, Jaiko and I have become close friends living in the ATL. We bond over all things tennis, hiking, traveling, and Atlanta sports.
Patrick Chichester
Groomsman
Though our friendship is newer, it’s been growing stronger every day. Patrick, my fiancé’s younger brother, introduced me to my first Atlanta United game, and we’ve bonded over our love for sports and classic comedy movies like Friday and Rush Hour. Currently a student at UGA, Patrick is studying abroad in South Africa, living life to the fullest. He’s also a high-level athlete—completing a half Ironman, running multiple marathons, and dominating on the tennis court (trust me, you don’t want to compete against him). Patrick’s drive, talent, and adventurous spirit make him an incredible person to know, and I’m excited to see where life takes him.
Nyia Ware
Bridesmaid
Nyia is DaJour’s younger sister and my new sister-in-law. Known for her kindness, tech-savvy skills, fashion sense, and passion for exploring new restaurants in different cities, Nyia brings so much joy and energy to every moment.
Tommy Bolanos
Groomsman
Outside of my fiancé, Tommy was one of the first friends I made when I moved to Atlanta four years ago. We met in acting class, and our friendship hasn’t missed a beat since. Like me, Tommy moved to Atlanta to pursue his dreams—he left California behind to chase his passion for acting. A hilarious and magnetic person who lights up any room, Tommy is an incredibly versatile actor, excelling in both dramatic and comedic roles. While he’s rising in the industry, what truly sets him apart is his heart—he treats everyone with love and respect. Whether we’re in class, playing Jackbox and board games at get-togethers, or catching a movie at the theater, Tommy always brings the fun and positivity.
