Wedding Party

Andrea Kelley

Maid of Honor

Hello everyone, I am Andrea Kelley a.k.a Molly!!!!! I am the bride’s best friend and maid of honor. Darlisa and I first met in 3rd grade at Roosevelt Elementary. Yes, we go way back like four flats lol (24 years of friendship and a lifetime to go). From that moment in 3rd grade, we have been the dynamic duo. In our younger days, we were inseparable! We have shared many memories together good and bad but I would not have wanted to experience those things with anyone else but her. Over the years, Darlisa has been more than my friend, she is my sister. I cherish and appreciate our friendship so much. I am so overjoyed to have witnessed the growth Darlisa has displayed through our years as friends. I want to congratulate Jonte and Darlisa on the next chapter of their lives. I love you both!

Bridesmaid

I’m Friends with the Bride. She’s more than a friend to me, in fact she is more like a sister. We grew up together sometimes in the same house. When mom yelled at me she got Darlisa too. Ten plus years of thick and think, sick and sin can never separate us no matter how far apart we are. I celebrate my sister friend for all her accomplishments and future endeavors. I cannot express enough how proud I am to be an active member of your family.

Bridesmaid

Knowing Darlisa for 11 years we’ve gained an remarkable bond. I use to babysit her three children when they were babies and from there we forever kept a friendship. Her and I can talk about anything and give one another constructive criticism with no hard feelings which is why I love her so much. I’ve watched her grow into the amazing woman she is today. Darlisa is such a great friend, wonderful mother and beautiful fiancé. She is goal driven and extremely ambitious. She’s truly deserving of this special day and I am honored to be apart of her joining union.

Shalondrea Fox

Bridesmaid

Hello, my name is Shelondrea...I’m a loving mother of 2, I work in the medical field (13 years) and I love being of service to people. I’ve know Darlisa since the 7th grade. What actually brought us close was her being so consistent almost like bullying me to go to 8th grade prom with her cousin LOL. Since then we’ve been locked. I love and value our relationship. Though I’m more of the laid back friend, she knows if she’s rocking I’m rolling ❤️

As iron sharpens iron, so does one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 I've known of you since 2012 by my husband many tall tale stories. I've known YOU since November 2020. Meeting you was ordained by God. People will say it was a coincidence, but I will say it was our written destiny to meet the way we met. Our friendship is the definition of destiny! We were destined to be friends, because God had already signed the friendship agreement. Darlisa & Jonte, you both are the epitome of LOVE and I wish you both nothing but LOVE, HAPPINESS & PEACE in your FOREVER. I'm so so overjoyed to be sharing YOUR DAY with you and your future HUSBAND! LOVE is LOVE, but BLACK LOVE IS EXCELLENCE 🖤 Thank you for allowing me to partake in your nuptial.

DeShawn Sims-Parker

Groomsman

Hello, world; my name is DeShawn I am the stubborn cousin of the bride. If any family member knows me, it is her; growing up, I would say we were remarkably close, and as time went on, as we got older with more responsibilities, reality itself caused us to lose sight of how life should have been. Until last year, it was my wife and me; we just so happened to take a trip to “Vegas” without knowing her and Jonte would be there. We took advantage of that time and caught up on old memories, but while in the process, I gained a friend in Jonte and a new addition to the family. Once they asked me to be a part of this soon-to-be spiritual and memorable moment, I was completely honored to have had said yes. I want to wish you both nothing but happiness and love.
