Our People

Laurinda

Mother of the Bride

Calvin

Father of the Bride

Ayrielle

Maid of Honor

Elle is the Barbie of my life and she’s been my BF for probably longer than she realizes! We met through our sorority in college and the rest is history. She’s been Charles and I’s BIGGEST supporter through our entire relationship. I could go on and on but there was no question that she would be my MoH

Olivia

Junior Bridesmaid

“Livi” is my 10 year old little sister (and only sister) who, while she looks like me, has a completely different personality. She’s highly opinionated and doesn’t hold back. I completely trust her thoughts and opinions on our wedding.

Nicole

Bridesmaid

Nikki has been my BFFL since high school. We met in 9th grade home room . I was new to the high school, and this girl kept talking to me! 😆 Nikki has a huge personality that gravitate people near her. We were attached at the hip in high school. We used to talk about our future and when we’d get married. We never knew the when and how but I always knew she’d be standing with me on my day.

Tyauna

Bridesmaid

Ty is my person! She’s also a nurse, so besides the endless phone calls about our experiences she also encourages me to make a leaps of faith in my career. Besides the “nurse stuff”, I can talk to this girl about literally anything with no judgement. She’s one of my greatest friends and has always been in my corner, so there’s no surprise I wanted her to stand with me when I say “I do”

Victoria

Bridesmaid

My future sister (-in law, but does that really matter?) is one of the sweetest, most positive, and selfless people I have ever met. This is the type of person that you see the light of God shine through. I am so happy she’ll be by my side on my wedding day and in my life forever.

Amber

Bridesmaid

Where do I even start with Ambs? This girl is a “ride or die”, she the one that says what I was thinking but didn’t say for whatever reason. She doesn’t hold back, and that keeps me grounded. She’s always supportive and always reminds me to prioritize myself. I’m so thankful she will be standing up with me on my wedding day.

Gloria

Mother of the Groom

Charles Sr.

Father of the Groom

Brenda

Step-mother of the groom

Chauncey

Best Man

My Six. My guy. We met in a public speaking class the year before we pledged. One of my best and greatest friends. A truly cultured man that pushes me to enjoy life and make the most of it whether its online or in person.

DiArron

Groomsman

My Ace. I can't remember what exactly our first meeting was (too many memories since then) but one of two of the best roommates you could have. A source of inspiration in my life and always willing to lend an ear. Also the most dangerous man on a monopoly board.

Christopher

Groomsman

My Deuce. I actually met him at the RAC (gym) and played 2 on 2 against him and another one of my brothers. A lot of great memories on the "bus" he provided for us. A pillar in the community who has an amazing drive to help others and advise me on the next best move. Also a retired expert on castle building and demolitions.

Branden

Groomsman

My Tre. He is one of the most dependable people I know in any and all aspects of life. Big heart once he warms up to you. A connoisseur of the finer things in life and always raising the bar on what success means. Also a camry comrade. I am truly blessed to have a friend like him.

Jerry

Groomsman

My Phive. Saved my life on more than one occasion. Solid, consistent, and authentic with an unmatched wit. Always can rely on him to have my back and to also give me a different and valuable perspective on life, hip hop, and chicken sandwiches.

Joseph

Groomsman

My Jewel. The other half of that 2 on 2 basketball game at the RAC (gym). Many a laugh at Landrum and on random adventures. Can always rely on him for sauce support and an earnest discussion on many a topic in the world. Former Men In Black agent.
