Wedding Party
Jeremiah Carmichael
Groomsman
Jeremiah is our amazing 15 year old son and we are proud to have him standing with us on our special day. He has a big creative spirit and loves spending his time drawing, making art, and exploring his passion for theatre and acting. When he's not creating something new, you can probably find him enjoying his favorite theme parks---especially Disneyland. Jeremiah brings so much personality, humor, and heart to our lives, and it means the world to us to have him be part of our wedding celebration.
Shantel Brown
Bridesmaid
Shantel has been proud to call Danielle her best friend for more than 20 years. Their friendship has grown through every season of life. She is a dedicated, hardworking mom who loves spending time with her family and the people who mean the most to her. One of her favorite standing plans is Saturday hikes with Danielle, giving them time to talk, laugh, and recharge together. When she’s not working, Shantel enjoys concerts, amusement parks, and a good road trip adventure. She is beyond excited to celebrate the love between Danielle and Jamal and couldn’t be happier to witness the start of this beautiful new chapter in their lives.
Brittany Coleman
Maid of Honor
Danielle and Brittany share a bond that has been built over a lifetime. Growing up together, they experienced all the chapters of life side by side—from childhood memories to adulthood milestones. Through both joyful moments and life’s toughest seasons, their relationship has only grown stronger. One of the most defining experiences they have shared was the loss of their mother, Linda, a loss that deepened their connection and reminded them how important family is. Together they have supported each other through grief, growth, and the journey of motherhood. Today, they continue to walk through life together while raising their wonderful sons—Jeremiah (15) and Elijah (3). Brittany is a loving and devoted mom who treasures time with her son and her boyfriend, Romaine and stepson, Leando. When she’s not spending time with family, she enjoys growing plants and nurturing her garden, a hobby that perfectly reflects her caring and patient spirit. Danielle is honored to have Brittany not only as her sister, but also as her Maid of Honor on such a meaningful day.
Elijah Brown
Ring Bearer
Elijah is Danielle and Jamaal's adorable 3-year-old nephew (Brittany's son) and the proud Ring Bearer for the big day. Full of energy and curiosity, Elijah brings joy and laughter wherever he goes. When he’s not busy being the life of the party, Elijah loves watching his favorite cartoons like Bluey, Grizzy & the Lemmings, and Paw Patrol. He also enjoys playing with his friends at school and discovering new adventures every day. Most of all, Elijah loves spending time with his family. Whether he’s playing, laughing, or giving the best hugs, he brings so much happiness to those around him. Danielle and the family are so excited to have Elijah playing such a special role in the wedding.
Alicia Douglas
Bridesmaid
Alicia has been a constant and deeply meaningful part of Danielle’s life for over 20 years. They met in high school, forming a friendship during a time when life was simpler, and have grown up side by side ever since. From those early days filled with laughter, long conversations, and discovering who they were, to heading off to college and stepping into adulthood, Alicia has remained a steady and supportive presence. As the years passed, their lives evolved in beautiful ways. Together, they’ve navigated major milestones—from building their individual paths to becoming mothers and raising their children. Through every phase, their bond has remained strong and unwavering. Now living in different states, their friendship is a true testament to staying connected despite distance. Whether through phone calls, visits, or effortlessly picking up right where they left off, Alicia continues to be one of Danielle’s closest confidants and biggest supporters. Having Alicia stand beside her on this special day means more than words can fully capture. She is not only a bridesmaid, but a lifelong friend who has been an essential part of Danielle’s journey—and will continue to be in the years to come.

Jamaal deeply appreciates having Jeremy by his side on such an important day. It means a great deal to him to stand alongside someone who has been an important part of his life and journey.
