Wedding Party
Cornell Johnson
Father of the Groom
Cornell came into my life when I was a small child. He loved me and my brothers like we were his own and adored my mom. The way he loved her, honored her and respected her was the way I always wanted to treat my wife one day. I am so grateful for him showing me the perfect example of how to be a great father and a loving husband. - A message from the groom.
Angela Johnson
Mother of the Groom
My mother is the one of the strongest women I know. She is gentle, loving and caring. Her love has molded me to being a man with empathy. My mother raised me and my brothers with everything she had and she did an incredible job. I am proud to be called her son and am grateful she will be there by my side. - A message from the groom.
Luis Lopez
Father of the Bride
My brother is my true best friend. I love him so much. He has been my father since I was a kid, he has protected me, loved me and disciplined me. He along my sister have been my true parents and shaped me into who I am today. I am so grateful he is happily stepping in into this role, there is no one else that could ever take this place. - Message from the bride.
Karen Romano
Mother of the Bride
My sister is the person who taught me how to be a good woman. She is one of the strongest women, I have been blessed to grow up watching her as my example of what it means to be great. She is stepping into the role of Mother of the Bride. I thank God for her every single day. Thank you for raising me.- Message from the bride.
Kendria Owens
Maid of Honor
We met our freshman year in high school during summer band. It had to be 100 degrees outside and we took shelter behind a trash can hoping our band director couldn't see us and we could take a few minutes to breathe and drink water. I remember the day so clearly and I cant believe now, 11 years later she is still my best friend, my sister and my maid of honor.- Message from the bride.
Briana Mosqueda
Bridesmaid
Bri and I have known one another for years but did not start getting as close as we are now until a few years ago. I am not the type to make new friends but she has always had my back and is my best friend! Any time I need help she is there for anything, I am proud to call her my bridesmaid!- Message from the bride.
Lynzi Hall
Bridesmaid
Lynzi and I met in college, we were seriously two peas in a pod. I have never met anyone so similar to me. Our back stories were similar, the hardships we both went through were basically the same and instead of complaining we rose from the ashes of the negativity the world threw our way and made ourselves the better women we are today. We instantly loved each other and have been the bestest of friends ever since.- Message from the bride.
Destiny Azanza
Bridesmaid
Des is my most incredible niece! She is smart and warm hearted! A beautiful woman inside out! She has grown up in front of me being her unapologetic true self and I am incredibly proud of her! Love you my Dessy - A message from the bride.
Ilexuz Harris
Bridesmaid
Miss Ilexuz went to school with me and Lynzi, all three of us were besties! We had so many laughs together and enjoyed each other's company and we pushed each other to be the best we could be! Love you girly! Thanks for being a bridesmaid! - A message from the bride.
Jeremy Gates
Best Man
My brother Jeremy is the man I can confide in with anything I want or need. He never judges me and knows exactly what to say. We went from butting heads every day when we were children to him being one of my favorite people in the world. He is so smart yet fun and brightens up any room when he enters. Thank you for being my best man! - A message from the groom.
Cedric Gates
Groomsman
Cedric is the perfect balance of fun but responsible, growing up he was the chill and laid back older brother that I wanted to be like. I looked up to him a lot and now even more that he has made this incredible life for himself. - A message from the groom.
Kenji WIlliams
Groomsman
Kenji is my cousin from ATL. He has always been the go-to person when we would go out to visit and he has always been a great host. I always enjoyed going out with him out in the town turning up! He has always been great fun and I'm very happy to call him a groomsmen. - A message from the groom.
Ronald Bellinger
Groomsman
Ronald Bellinger, my crazy and hyper cousin LOL! Growing up together was a blast! There was never a dull or boring moment with him. From playing football in the house even though we were not supposed to and getting in trouble for it, we did it all together and now we get to go through this journey into my newlywed life together as well. Thank you for being part of this with me! - A message from the groom.
Juan Mosqueda

Over the last few years that I have known Juan I have grown fond of him. He is real cool person and we spend a good amount of time together talking about our women and kids. He has always been a great host and an awesome friend. Thanks for being apart of my crew! - A message from the groom
