Wedding Party
Brianna Saville - Scott
Matron of Honor
My name is Brianna and I will be assuming the role of Matron of Honor. I met Ikea a little over 15 years ago as we graced the halls of Mother McAuley as freshmen. We quickly became friends and our history book began to write itself.
Melvy-On Hawkins
Maid of Honor
Ikea and Mel met on the MMRA plantation in 2019. Ikea ran away up north to freedom in 2021, and we remained friends. We built a strong bond from seeing each other daily, to enjoying weekends together, accepting an honor of being J3's Godmommy and now... Standing beside her as her Maid of Honor. (P.S.) In 2024 Mel is still currently on the plantation but dreams of freedom every night. The end
Morgan Everett
Bridesmaid
Hello! My name is Morgan M. Everett, better know as Granny. I met Ikea fall of 2013, she was my Sophomore roommie in Rudolph Hall at TSU. Ikea and I definitely shared some great moments and memories, from parties at Lucy Blu, or chilling at the radio station while she was doing her show (of course Granny hopped on the mic too just to say Heyy), to dressing up for Halloween as gymnasts with black leotards and pink tights. Ikea was a stranger who became my roommate, and then she became my friend, and I would not trade her for anything in the world. I cannot wait! I’ll be standing alongside Ikea on the most special day of her life….. Because I am a Bridesmaid!

Groomsman
Ive known lu for 31 years. We met in second grade, and hit it off right away. One of the smartest people I know by far. Funny as well. One of my favorite things about him is slang. He comes up with the funniest , or coolest phrases on the spot. I often find myself self jacking his slang. I dont really consider him a friend. He's more like family I ain’t got nothing but love for you family and can’t wait to be beside you on your special day!

Groomsman
Me and James grew up in the same neighborhood we both attended the same grammar school and same classroom that's been my dog for 30 plus yrs one of the funniest moments was when we were on the way home from drinking one night he told me to pullover because he had to throw up all I heard was ugghhhh ughhhh and two farts followed right behind that😭😭😭
Donel Choice
Groomsman
Hello, My name is Donel Choice but I am known as Udoka. I grew up with James in the neighborhood and we have been brothers since. I tend to check in with bro because he can hold an unbiased conversation on many topics. One thing about Lujack is that he is going to kick it and I'm almost certain that I had my first drink kicking it with Lu in the hood. I am honored that he chose me to participate in such a memorable event in his life. Best wishes to you both. I pray your marriage is filled with nothing but blessings and happiness.

Derrick Sullivan
Groomsman
I’m Derrick Sullivan. I’m a 1st cousin of James and since I’m older that means I’ve known him his whole life. Even though he acts older, I always looked at him as a younger brother. I remember when we were younger I used to get mad at him when he visited his other family members because that meant I couldn’t play his Nintendo. Just petty!!! Lbvs!!!
Cameron Johnson
Groomsman
Hello! My name is Cameron L. Johnson also know as CJay aka BlendCityJayy. I am Ikea’s favorite brother, (only brother) and often more times then not the one who will take the spotlight when it is not on her. We have the typical brother-sister relationship of me being the annoying little brother and protecting her, but all in all the Love still being equally expressed. I am happy to be a part of this experience and the ultimate goal of gaining a new brother through marriage in 2025
Christopher Sullivan
Groomsman
Hey! I'm Christopher Sullivan, cousin to James but more like a brother. We have been through thick and thin and I'm honored to be a part of their upcoming wedding. Congratulations to Lu and Ikea!
Rosa
Mother of the Bride
Hey yall Well, let me get right to it... I've known this couple the entire 3 years they have been together. One of the things I've learned and admire about them as a young couple They are truly what they podcast describes them as. "Lovers and Friends" I've learned and love the fact that they can stay in the house 24, 48, 72 hours together without leaving out and have a ball together. I would call one of them, and they will be laughing, dining, going over business ideas, tending to J3, (taking turns), watching movies or singing 🤣 lyrics As the mother of the bride, I'm asking God to continue to bless the union and bond they are building together May 2025 Here come the Suillivans Moma Love yall
Al (Ike) Johnson
Father of the Bride
What can I say about my Keeda Beeda. Well allow me to try. She Walks Like Me, Talks Like Me, Looks Like me and carries my 1st name. I have held her hand, wiped her tears, and braided her hair, well do Ponytails Count! LOL She has and always will be my shining example of a Fathers LOVE. This is why I am so excited that she has found her soulmate. James entered our lives well over three years ago and we immediately embraced him as one of our own. (He made it in the Family Chat) LOL Seriously, though, he is sincere with his feelings, generous with his gifts and humble in his spirit. He is the Ying to Ikea’s Yang. The balance of expectations and goals of their lives are perfectly on display each and every time we see them. They are Visionaries, Entrepreneurs and Goal Seekers. BUT above all remain grounded in what matters most. Faith & Family. Words cannot fully express how proud we are to witness these two embark on this new chapter of life. God Bless you both and Congratulations. Dad
