Wedding Party

Best Man
I came into this world “shortly” after Ope was born😉. Yeah, we’re brothers, born and raised in the same household by our lovely parents. We’ve been through alot together, shared many wonderful memories, even wore matching outfits… I especially miss the days we’d play soccer together in our front yard when we were much younger. Fun fact about me: I particularly enjoy talking about Real estate, healthcare, and Afrobeats

I have known Jasmariee since forever. We first met when her dad became the pastor of my church our family became close family friends throughout the years. I have been fortunate enough to be able to go on vacations with them. She is more like my sister than a friend than anything else. I am so grateful to be a part of her new journey with Ope.

When I met Jasmariee I don’t remember doing the “get to know you” part, we just instantly became sisters! Not only are we best friends but sisters in Christ! Ever since I met her at church, I’ve been annoying her ever since. She will always be my extra big sister and I’m so happy she found someone that gives her the same love that she gives to others. Ope found the gold at the end of the rainbow, Jasmariee! ♡

My friendship with Ope started with spontaneous music moments back in 2017. We sang everything from Afrobeats and Afrogospel to Contemporary Gospel and Acappella. Now, you can catch us singing with the Watchmen Acappella. Our bond has weathered chaos, crisis, and countless leadership challenges, maturing through curiosity and lots of laughter 😃 Fun fact: I always clean the kitchen before cooking 😅

I have had the pleasure of being friends with Jasmariee and Ope since 2018 when I started my freshman year at Andrews. We were a study buddy group, that didn’t really get much studying done. I have had the pleasure of seeing them blossom from friends into the beautiful couple that they are today. I pray for God’s blessings as they enter this new chapter of being husband and wife.

I met Jasmariee when i entered medical school and she was sitting across the classroom. I didn’t know who she was at the time, but I was like we’re going to be friends at one point. Then that same week my sister was on the phone, and she was laughing so hard, and I asked her who are you talking to that loud and she said Jasmariee and that is when our beautiful friendship started. Jasmariee is an extraordinary individual, embodying kindness, care, and genuine warmth. Jas’ heart is as big as her smile, bringing joy and warmth to everyone around her. Jas always finds a way to make all of us laugh no matter what. I love her so much and I’m so glad she found her God given match ❤️

Nancy Handa
Bridesmaid
I met Jasmariee two years ago at KCU, just a couple of days after orientation. As someone who had just moved to Kansas City, I was feeling a bit out of place, but Jasmariee quickly changed that. She offered me a ride to my place, and as soon as I heard her playlist, I knew we would be good friends. Our friendship started so naturally, it felt like we had known each other for years. Jasmariee is fun, smart, caring, and loyal—the most Nigerian Jamaican I know. I met Ope at Jasmariee’s 24th birthday. At first, I thought he was shy because he didn't talk much. Well... We all know I was wrong! One thing about Ope is that he’ll do anything to make Jasmariee happy, as he should! Watching their love story unfold has been a joy, and I can't wait to celebrate this beautiful couple on their special day.

Throughout the years, she has become my sister friend. She has been there for me and supported me through so much. Whenever we link, it was always good vibes and we would just laugh a lot😂. Jasmariee makes me so happy and literally love her. I’m so happy she gets to achieve her dreams and goals and I’m so glad to be part of it.

Eryncia Welsh
Bridesmaid
I met Jamariee and Ope at Andrews University. I honestly don’t remember how exactly I met Jas. We always knew of each other but never really spoke. That changed over time and once it did we became closer than ever. From dancing on the same team to sharing a suite together at Andrews. Jas and I became family and it will always be that way. I knew Ope her best friend and to see their friendship blossom into a beautiful love story is just amazing

I met Jasmariee when I was 8 or 9 years old, her dad became the new pastors at my church, we quickly became close friends and soon family. We would spend summers together at each others houses, going to camp meeting every year, going to amusement parks, and etc. I would spend every new years at her house for years, even tho we are far apart now I still consider her family and every time I see her it’s like time never passed 💕

Ope and I met through a local church youth group were we made lifetime memories of laughter, potlucks, and beach/ water park fun days and I met Jazz through Ope and other college mutual peeps. I'm an adventurous traveler who loves technology and anything automotive. If I had to pick one word to describe me, it'd be 'Explorer. Life is too short to stay in one place, and my curiosity knows no bounds- whether it's diving deep into the latest tech, seeking out the next automotive marvel, or just finding the perfect scenic route.

I'm 22 years old, born in Haiti. I met the bride during med school, and from the moment we met, we couldn't stop laughing. Our friendship quickly grew through countless late nights, whether we were trying to sleep or laughing during class. We even have our own inside joke that always brings a smile to our faces. It's been an incredible journey, and I'm so grateful for her friendship.

I totally wish him continued success and creativity in all the things that he is doing.
