Introducing the Bridal Party

Keasha Davis

Matron of Honor

Elisha and I have known each other for over 30 years! I’d like to think that we are kindred spirits- you may just call us both bossy! I’ve always admired her strength, courage, care and concern for everyone. Elisha spends a lot of time behind the scenes making sure everything goes right. So at the wedding, you will more than likely see me making sure everything is going right for this special bride!


Quendell Christmas

Best Man

Everyone calls me “Q” except for my Wife who calls me “Big Zaddy”. As a former member of the Temptations I enjoyed making classic music that was revered by the World. In my spare time when I’m not writing a sermon for Bishop Christmas I’m typically practicing Kong Fu. A wise man once said “The man who sleeps on the floor can’t fall out of Bed” -Shaquille Sunflower

Hannah Jackson

Maid of Honor

My name is Hannah. I know y’all know who I am because I'm the bride's daughter. I also know that you all pretty much know my life story already, lol. So all I can really say is that I'm excited to be a part of this wedding. Let’s turn up!!

Sumi Blodgett

Bridesmaid

I have known Elisha and her family for over 15 years. We met back in the early 2000’s when her brother and kiddos (now adults, yikes!!!) first entered Middle School. I was the Operations Manager that worked in the front office, and it didn’t take long for Elisha and I to quickly connect as we both advocated relentlessly for the well-being and education of all students (not just for her family). She spent many long days on our campus to support, and before you knew it, we grew and maintained an everlasting friendship and village! I am excited to be a part of the Royal Court and can’t wait to celebrate this amazing moment with you all!

Hey all! My name is Mia. I've known Elisha for 16 years and I'm glad that our friendship has grown into sisterhood. I am excited to share in this wonderful occasion and witnessing her marry the love of her life. Here is a bit about myself. I am a mother of four beautiful daughters and as if having four of my own wasn't enough, I am also a teacher. I have been in the field of education for 17 years and love it. I also love anything surrounding the arts but my main thing is singing. I enjoy spending time with family and friends making memories that will last a lifetime. One thing about me is that I'm not a homebody, but I don't mind having days to just relax. If I'm not at home, or at work then I'm probably at church. Currently walking the journey of being licensed as an Evangelist. I'm very outgoing and seek to get the most out of life each day I am graced to see.
