Wedding Party
Amelia
Flower Girl
Amelia is the niece that we could not live without! Whenever she is around, we know we better have that energy juice ready because the activities and fun are on and popping! With her only being 3 years-old she has the personality of a teenager, at times, but we wouldn't have it any other way! Some of our most memorable times with Amelia include our pretend School Bus and Kitchen games, alllllllll of the chasing laps for the Zombie game around Terry and Nicole's house, the time Jermaine and Amelia left Kelsey and Emilee stuck in the foam pits at the trampoline park. She has come a long way from calling Emilee "RayRay" to us now being Aunt Emilee and Uncle Maine. We've got the best niece and the best flower girl!
Josiah & Jeremiah
Ring Security
These two are our vacation side-kicks! Josiah (left) and Jeremiah (right) have added so much laughter and joy into our lives and Jermaine's family, as they are two of the youngest family members. "The Boys", as we sometimes call them, know that anytime Maine and Emilee are around we are definitely going to be doing something fun and entertaining - these two Master Degree's came in more handy than we originally thought! Whether it was walking miles in Atlantic City, looking out into the blue sea on a cruise, or just simply having a water play day in our backyard, we'd do anything to keep these boys smiling and happy! We are going to use Josiah's energy and Jeremiah's keen eye for their Ring Security duties! We can't wait to have them be there with us and our families on this huge day! Be on the lookout for their signs!
Kelsey
Maid of Honor
Unfortunately Kelsey doesn't have a choice but to love me because we are sisters for life. We have memories that date back to 1995. She's always been the one that I look up to, the one I run to for advice, and the one keeping it real when I make mistakes. Heck, she is the one who named me! When we were little we would wear Disney night gowns and would watch Pocahontas and The Little Mermaid over and over again. I would always dirty just one more dish once she finally finished cleaning up the kitchen before our parents got home. Fast forward to college and she was the one to teach me how to play beer pong as well as the famous quote "Beer before liquor... never sicker. Liquor before beer and you are in the clear!" Serious life lessons that I still chose to learn the hard way. I'll always be your annoying little sister and I am so happy to have you as my Big sister.
Kaity
Bridesmaid
One of my favorite things about my job is working with you! I do not know what I would do if I didn't meet Kaity. Co-workers at first, but that quickly changed to being besties. All hours of the day and night(literally... if it's 3am I know she'll answer!) you can find us SnapChatting or Face Timing some crazy experience that is happening or you might find us oversharing about our personal lives. We know EVERYTHING(probably too much) about each other and there is never any shame or judgment... True friends just accepting each other for who they are! She is the best and worst gym partner ever. She cancels on me... and never complains when I cancel on her. However, when we do make it to the gym it's seriously the best time ever. Kaity is bold, beautiful, and full of personality. I feel like we have known each other forever!
BreShae
Bridesmaid
When I try to describe the friendship I have with Bre, I always want to cry. We met back in college(seems like forever ago). At first we were neighbors and would go downtown from time to time having the most fun times and taking the funniest photos that we would forget about until morning. Then we became roommates. She was the best roommate I have ever had (yes, even a better one than Jermaine lol). One of my favorite memories was on Thursday nights when Grey's Anatomy would be on. We would always watch it together. One time we even had the bright idea to turn it into a drinking game... one of the rules was to take a shot when someone died... well this episode was a killer and we got lit real quick. Then we had another great idea to go downtown with some friends. Poor Jermaine shuttled us downtown only to stay 15 minutes before I got sick. The next morning I saw Bre very disheveled because she had just gotten sick on the community bus. Even though she was terrified at what just happened we both laughed until we cried. You will not find anyone more genuine than BreShae! Although she lives in Texas now, we still act like college was yesterday and our friendship is just as strong.
Samantha
Bridesmaid
Sam was the first true friend that I made in high school. I went to a different high school than all of my middle school friends and didn't know anyone until I met her! We made pinky promises together during our senior year(high school) spring break that no matter what happened in our lives we would always be friends. I am so thankful that we made that promise and have actually kept it! I can tell you about so many memories that we have together. It all started when we found out that both of our Dads worked together. Then we discovered our obsession of Justin Bieber.. we were quite the Beliebers! You could even find us making up dances in the backseat of my Dad's jeep to the dumbest songs to ever come on the radio. We also tried to be photographers by taking the most cringeworthy photos in my backyard. At one point we basically lived at each other's houses. She always says she does the most craziest things when we are together and that couldn't be more true. We would get into dumb arguments from time to time but then the next day we would be best friends again. I stood by her on her BIG day and I am so excited that she is going to stand by me for mine! A true friend until the end, no matter what!
Keisha
Bridesmaid
We went to elementary and middle school together. I remember when we thought we were so cute and had it all going on! Playing on the same basketball team with you in middle school takes me back to some of the most exciting times in life, even if I was some trash on the court. lol I am so happy that we have reconnected in our adult lives. Getting margaritas with Keisha on a regular basis is always so much fun. I always look forward to the vent sessions as well as discussing our future plans in our lives, no matter how crazy they seem. I think being friends with Keisha is so easy because she just gets me and is always there to listen. Keisha is fearless, kind, and not afraid to tell you how it is. Not many can say they have a friend like Keisha, so I am grateful that I do!
Hannah
Bridesmaid
Although Hannah is my cousin, she is more like a little sister to me. Hannah moved in when she was in 4th grade. She was a belieber too, of course. You cannot stop laughing when you are around her, but that's because she gets her jokes from me. Haha just kidding(or am I?). Hannah is the one I always call when I need the perfect curls for a photo shoot or night out. I can remember staying up late watching scary movies and then getting freaked out when we would hear a noise. Since I was the oldest I would always have to check it out. Hannah is a one of a kind person and I am glad to have gained a sister like her!
Kate
Bridesmaid
Kate is technically my cousin, but has grown to be more like a sister. Katelynn moved in when she was in 5th grade. My mom talked her into getting this dorky haircut. I remember that little 5th grader who was so cute and innocent (she even bought a mistletoe in hopes of kissing a neighborhood kid). Well that 5th grade grew up to be fierce, brave, and outspoken. She went from having a dorky bob, to a beautiful woman who doesn't let anyone tell her what to do. I remember all the times you rode shotgun in my car and introduced me to the new "popular" music that I was too old to discover for myself. I also can never forget that time you let me do your make-up for the 8th grade dance...boy what a disaster! Even though every time she comes over I desperately need to go grocery shopping, she keeps coming back and I am so glad that she does.
Aaliyah
Bridesmaid
Other than just being Jermaine's goddaughter, Aaliyah has become our family vacationing connoisseur! As she gets ready to enter high school this upcoming year, we know that she will continue to do more great things alongside being a great volleyball player! Aaliyah's family, The Ferrells, have been long-time family friends of Jermaine and his family since before he was even born. One of the most memorable moments that we both have with with Aaliyah would be the time we went to Atlantic City. After some time at the casino and a few adult jukeboxes, Emilee, Jermaine and Andrew headed to meet up with everyone else but we didn't know it would be at the carnival. Emilee was the lucky one chosen to ride the "more wild" ride with Aaliyah - the look on both of their faces at the end was PRICELESS! The next morning on the ride home Aaliyah ended up falling asleep on Emilee's shoulder. To this day, Jermaine is convinced this is the reason why Aaliyah likes Emilee more LOL! We are so excited to have her as a part of our special day!
Andrew
Best Man
Andrew is the Angelica to my Tommy Pickles! When you talk about a day one, Andrew has been there literally since day one! He is technically my cousin, but has always been more of a big brother. I watched and admired as he got older and traveled all around the country. I was able to follow in his footsteps and decide which footsteps I would save until later, piercings and tattoos included. My memories with Andrew stretch from fights in Granny's basement, to him literally holding me in life's' most difficult moments, him getting lost in Mexico & me almost wrecking a Moped. We're now adults and he's still one of (if not the first person) I go to with every big decision. I couldn't celebrate this huge milestone without having him by my side as my Best Man!
Michael
Groomsman
"My brother from another mother", this has summed up our friendship ever since 2003. Michael was the first true friend I had when my Mom and I first moved to West Virginia. It definitely helped that our moms worked together, but as we grew and got older our bond has only gotten stronger. Even when one of us decided to go to "the other high school" we stayed close and we were now just able to keep tabs and up-to-date on all the happenings within JCO. Some of my most memorable moments with Michael stretch from him speaking on one of the most emotional days of my life, Razorback football, signing me up to be a basketball manager (without knowing what the job entailed), to messaging each other super last minute to hang - even to this day. Michael is a friend that can keep you on your toes but, at the same time can keep you solid and grounded. I couldn't have this day without MJ by my side!
Justin
Groomsman
The youngest of the Jackson Trio! Justin is a senior graduating high school this year, and I couldn't be more proud of my little bro! As we were growing up and even to this day I'll always remember this kid as the long, curly haired sibling that would only eat bread and butter or butter and noodles! I'm glad he got out of that phase (for the most part). I'm not sure if he'll remember, but he was the only one to belt out Patti Labelle lyrics and especially those high notes with me - while Jade would just look at us like we were crazy! I definitely couldn't imagine this day without Justin Lee by my side!
Gerard
Groomsman
Gerard aka Gerardo! This has been a really great friend ever since fifth grade that turned into a brotherhood. We go way back from Wright Denny days to Washington High to Morgantown to back home. Gerard has and always had that "go get it" mentality and that's what makes him, him. We have so many memorable memories together that range from school projects, taking Gerard101 classes, to still randomly making last minute plans. He knows exactly how to get a party started and how to keep it fun and exciting throughout! There's no way I could celebrate this day without having this guy stand on my side!
Marcus
Groomsman
Marcus is "The Forever Roommate". We first met in middle school and our friendship has grown into our Three Amigos brotherhood. Marcus has definitely been there through so many of the highs in my life as well as some of the lows. And either way, he's always been there to make sure I'm good. Some of the most memorable times with Marcus include driving across the state to volleyball games, college tours, and too many college night experiences to even remember half of them! Marcus and I were roommates for almost our entire college careers at WVU. From all the Chic-Fil-A pizzas he's sliced, the "incident" he cleaned at Pierpont, and throwing ice snowballs, there's no way I could celebrate this huge day without having this guy by my side.
Kris
Groomsman
This is my guy KP! Kris has been a solid friend, confidant, and fellow drummer ever since we first became friends in 3rd grade but even more so when we joined percussion together a few years later. We graduated from the tiny bells set all the way to the Bass Drums on our high school drum line. We have so many memories stretching from all those band trips (and camps), too many PBRs while in Morgantown, to living further away now - but still talking about WWE and everything else under the sun. Kris is that type of friend that everyone needs to have - he knows how to turn any dull moment into one with laughter and craziness but also how to keep the peace within certain situations. Couldn't celebrate this day without having KP by my side!
Jade
Groomswoman
JADE!!!! If you know me, you know my little sister has and always will hold a gigantic chunk of my heart. She's the middle of the Jackson Trio and she truly is the glue! Just as I am so proud of our little brother, Jade continues to amaze me with how much and what she does. She stays busy, active, and always on the road- guess that's why they always call you my mini-me, and for these strong genes/personality traits Dad left us with! Memorable moments with Jade range from all of our WWE moments with Dad and Justin, to South of the Border trips, to now being able to call or text you about anything I need another perspective on or her brightness! There would be no way possible for me to celebrate this day without her!
Nate
Groomsman
Nate is technically my cousin, but especially since I went to WVU he became more of a big brother! This was the person that showed me all the ropes of Morgantown life and who/where I could always claim a spot to lay my head if needed. Even to this day I'll text or call Nate on both big and little issues. From different recipes, to so many party games, and being the person that actually introduced me to Emilee - I've got so much love and respect for him. Without Nate, I know Emilee would have gotten tired of me waiting to officially ask her out but he left me with some words that I'll always remember, "You better hurry up and ask her!" There's no possible way I could celebrate this huge milestone of a day without having him by my side!
