Tazhji Lewis
Bridesmaid
Dom and I met working together. I prayed for a friend in Lynchburg. I looked up one day and there she was with all her love to give. I knew God loved me to have shared someone so special with me. So without thought I literally told her we were gonna be friends. Before she could say no I glued us together and now she is stuck with me.
Elizabeth Harris

Dom and I met through a mutual friend (Tazhji) in 2018 and now there is no possible way she can get rid of me. I had no idea that I needed someone as special as Dom in my life until God gave me her.

My passion in life has always been to Go for it & Go get it, no matter the distance I have to travel to attain all the desires of my heart. While in Baton Rouge I had the pleasure of meeting one of the most cherished individuals in my life, my line sister Dom! She’s walked with me through so many phases of my life and I get a chance to walk with her through this life changing experience. I have been blessed enough to be asked to accompany her on one of the most important days of her life and it brings me so much joy to be trusted enough to stand beside her as a sister and life supporter for life!

My relationship with Dominique will always be unique because of the timing in which we met. When we met, we had an instant connection and we’ve been inseparable ever since. She’s the little sister I have always wanted. From giving sound advice, to her “just checking in” messages she keeps me sane and brings me joy all while a call away! Danielle Johnson is one of Dominique’s older sisters as well as a Sam Houston State Alumni and a high school English Teacher in Arlington, Texas.

Arnedia Wallace
Bridesmaid
I was born and raised in Louisiana but currently reside in the DC Virginia metro area. I met Dominique at church in Baton Rouge and the two of us didn't really connect at first. But the more time I spent with her the more I understood the gift of love and purity she is to the world, and I was inspired. Inspired to honor and befriend this beautiful spirit that God privileged me to encounter. And, in the process, I gained one of my best friends. I love her like she loves peanut butter and tacos😏

Knowing Dom is truly a joy and a privilege, and I am so excited to stand with her on her wedding day.
Shantel Barnes
Bridesmaid
Friend of the bride, I love traveling and experiencing the earth. I fall in love with scenic views and breathtaking moments in time. Dominique and myself met while working at the Olive Garden. I’d like to say she saved me when I didn’t know I needed to be. We have since bonded over travels and tears, laughter and fun times, but most of all, love and acceptance. I admire how humble and resilient Dominique is, and might I add, she’s such an amazing woman and friend. I am excited and honored to share an unforgettable experience with both you and T.
Jessica Devivo
Bridesmaid
Dom and I met in 2016 during the first year in our Masters program. I tell her to this day, I will never forget seeing the girl in the front row with long braids who raised her hand to ask a question in my very first class. Somehow we found ourselves connecting like magnets. We are nothing the same, yet we built a genuine bond through so much grace and vulnerability. To this day, Dom has made herself uniquely present as a sister in my life to walk through life’s seasons and lift my hopes. To say standing with her on her wedding day is an honor, feels like an understatement. Witnessing this covenant by her side, to see the beauty and redemption of this act, brings me extreme joy beyond words! I love you, Dom. -Poopy
Bianca Collins
Bridesmaid
I am Bianca Collins . I am Dominique’s first cousin . With being only 3 months apart, we were raised more like sisters than cousins. From diapers, to first day of school, to getting in trouble together, to endless sleepovers , and much more. We did EVERYTHING together. I am forever grateful that I get to hold her hand through this journey. ❤️
Julianne Copper
Bridesmaid
Dom and Jules met in college through their friend group at church, and eventually became roommates along with two other sisters. Dom and Jules share a love for laughter, the presence of God, band-two knots, and much more. Dom is basically Jules’ big sister who taught her not only how to dig deeper into emotional healing..but also how to twerk, which are equally important. Dom and Jules have shared countless moments of laughter, revelation, and love together~ and Jules is honored to stand by Dominique as she begins a new journey of a deep, lifetime love with Thomas.
Briana White
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Briana. I’m Dominique’s first cousin. We met when I was about 2 months old and we have been inseparable ever since. Growing up we literally did everything together. We were actually raised as sisters rather than cousins. Dominique is one of my favorite people. Her drive and her passion inspires me daily. I would describe my cousin as “love” everything she does and says comes from a genuine place of love. She’s like a mind reader, she knows exactly what’s going on without me saying a word. I love her sooo much and I’m extremely excited to see her embark on this new journey!
Joyia Johnson
Bridesmaid
