You have been the best example of a women anyone could ever have and I am blessed to have come from you.

Dad I knew from day one the man I would marry would have big shoes to fill. I am blessed to have you as the best example of a provider, protector and Father. You exude strength and have set the bar high for the man in my life. I appreciate you running all the clowns away from me. I knew when Delanton didn't run he was the one. I will forever hold close the many words of wisdom you have given and will forever give. Though I know it won't be easy, thank you for walking me down the aisle of life and into the care of the love my life. I love you.

We share many awesome memories and Jeopardy Battles we've even managed to get Nkechi in on some, you've opened up my thirst for knowledge which has contributed to me being the FOI I am today, I love you
Bridesmaid
When two people get married two families are joined together. Tricey you are my new sister-in-love. I am excited to have a big sister and I pray that we grow to have an unbreakable bond. Your brother and I are blessed to have found each other but having you in my life is a special bonus I look forward to.
Maid of Honor
Our bond represents a third generation of closeness. You are not only my cousin but also my best friend. You are my confidant and I have relied on your ears from the beginning, when Delanton and I officially met, to when he proposed and now in the planning process of this wedding. As children, teenagers, through college and now as adults you encourage me when I need it most. I am elated to have you stand with me on this special day.
Bridesmaid
From the first day we met I knew we would be friends forever, you are a free spirit, loving , nurturing, beautiful and wonderfully you. You are a real friend I never have to wonder if its real. Witnessing you and AJ on your wedding day gave me hope for the future, and witnessing you become a mother gave me more hope that I may do the same. When you love you love hard and I cherish our friendship.
Bridesmaid
From the sandbox to grown ups you are that special cousin with whom I can share my deepest thoughts and feelings. We've played with dolls and even wrecked grandpa John's car together (that was me). My partner in all the childhood debacles, this is one more adventure I am blessed to have with you by my side.
Bridesmaid
When you call someone your friend it should be real, and every friend and person in your life should make you better, I admire your ability to put your mind to something and stick with it and be successful. You make me want to strive for more and not give up when things get tough. You are a beautiful person, wonderful mother, friend and I am thankful to have you In my life.
Bridesmaid
We may be cousins by birth but you will always be my baby sister. Dressing you up and putting every bow in the box in your hair, getting locked inside the bedroom and escaping through the window, summer vacations, sleepovers, "Bubble World" and watching weird horror trailers, (No Cork), is what will continue to make up a lifetime of our sisterhood. I couldn't imagine this day without you.
Bridesmaid
When I found out my favorite uncle was having a baby I knew you were going to be the coolest ever, I'm so proud of you super athlete, super academic and all the attitude to match. You have grown up just in time to be my bridesmaid instead of my flower girl and I love it!
Junior Bridesmaid
This union comes with many blessings. My junior bridesmaid, a beautiful, teenage daughter is more than I could ever ask for. Pooh, the joy of creating a bond with you has already begun and I look forward to caring for you, sharing with you and loving you forever as we grow into our beautiful family life.
Flower Princess
A princess is more than just beautiful. She is sugar and spice and everything nice just like you my flower princess, Sheyenne. You are my youngest bonus blessing and I am so happy we will have lots of time to grow together once our family life begins.
Flower Princess
Samirah, my flower princess, I knew from the day you called me Auntie Pooh we were going to be inseparable. I am looking forward to our Netflix sleepovers and many conversations!!!
Flower Princess
Khori, my little munchkin, being your godmother is a joy. I have the privilege of watching you grow, learn, explore and become your beautiful self. You are sassy, confident, sweet, and more than I could have imagined you to be. We are so close it is hard to believe I did not give birth to you myself. I love you my flower princess.
Groomsman
There is nothing more special than having your brother and your husband not only get along but who believe in the same God and stand for the same cause to raise the spiritually dead in the name of Allah. Jabril from the womb to the tomb, my brother, I am blessed to have you by our side.
Groomsman
You are my big brother, You stepped in when ever I needed you. You would cook for us when mom was working ( One reason I became a Chef LOL) You've always had my back in every situation and this day is no different I couldn't imagine having anyone else stand by my side on this special day I love you man.
Ring Bearer
My JuJu super gamer, trash talking, gun slinging, cool man. There is never a dull moment with you. You are the life of the party but you can't wear a red suit to the wedding the navy blue suit will have to do. I love you.
Officiant
Uncle Troy, The beautiful one. You are the perfect person to represent the blessing of our marriage. Having you speak Allah's (God's) word and present His law regarding the institution of marriage is both a blessing and a gift. Nothing makes me happier than having you as the officiant over the beginning of the rest of our lives and having you present us as husband and wife.
