Wedding Party
Leslie (Mac)
Father of the Bride
Mac was always incredibly protective of his daughter, and when he met Thierry for the first time, it was clear that he recognized something special. His response spoke volumes: “Love you & thanks for introducing us to Teddy (Thierry). Very good vibes.” Though Mac is no longer with us, his spirit and love for this union live on in our hearts. He would be overjoyed to see the love and happiness that Jazmine and Thierry share. In loving memory ❤️

Watching my daughter grow into the remarkable woman she is today has been one of my greatest joys. I am overjoyed to witness her union with Thierry and the love they share. This wedding is not just a celebration of their love, but also a gathering of family and friends who have played important roles in their lives. I look forward to the future they will create together.

OMG how 10 years flies. I met Jazmine at UTSA 10 years ago, and she was the sweetest and first person to take a chance on being my friend. Her birthday sleepover changed my life for the better. Ever since she’s been an integral piece of my life. I am sooooo excited and honored to be by her side on this big day!

Maid of Honor
Jaz and I became instant friends after meeting in our Biology class our freshman year of high school, and then finding out that we were in the same dance class too! Jaz is one of my oldest and truest friends and I am so excited for Jaz and Thierry to start this exciting new chapter in their lives!
Jean Charles (JC)
Best Man
Only way me and T could be closer is if we shared the womb at birth. I’ve seen my boy grow these past 30 + years and I couldn’t be any more proud of the man he’s cultivated himself into. This next chapter will be even more exciting as we watch T and Jaz embark on their journey as husband and wife. God has prepared you both for this union. It is an honor and a special joy to see you two come together to set this foundation for your futures. I am honored thankful grateful and I look forward to sharing this day with you both. Celebration.

I'm Jazmine's older sister, and I've been there for all her milestones—from tying her shoes to crashing her bike, to getting our first vehicles (a Barbie Jeep for me, a Minnie Mouse car for her). As we grew up, she was always there for me, even through the birth of my two girls and some of my hardest moments. Our bond is something I never imagined, and I'm so grateful to call her my best friend. Then came Thierry. When Jazmine first told me about him, she was so excited, and I knew right away he was going to be my brother-in-law. They are a perfect match—both so kind and loving. My girls adore Aunt Jaz and Thierry, so much that my oldest threatens to call them when she’s fed up with me or her sister! They always show up for my girls, and I love them for that. I'm so honored to be part of this special day and can’t wait to witness all the amazing moments ahead in their new life together. Love you both so much! - Neisha

Jaz, aka Peaches, aka GG, and I are first cousins. I often sit and reminisce about memories from our childhood. Memories of hanging out with our late grandfather singing "Who Stole the Cookies From the Cookie Jar" or her proclaiming to be "peach" 😂 Good times, I tell you. I am so proud of the woman she has grown into. She has always been one to know what she wants and do whatever it takes to accomplish her goals. Standing with Jazmine on her special day is an honor and a privilege. Thierry, thank you for loving and treating her like the QUEEN she is. I love you both and pray for God's favor in your marriage.

Jaz and I have been kiki’ing since 2014. She’s my LS, an older sis, a confidante, and is always a good time to be around 🫶🏽 I’m grateful for a friend who has never wavered, is consistently supportive, and can chat up a storm whether it’s been a week since the last we spoke or a month. 11 years went by fast and I’m blessed to witness her next phase of life. So here’s to 10 more! …and the next 10! And the next 10 🥹

I met Jaz back in 2018 through YBPSA, and I’m so glad I did! We have shared a lifetime of laughs since then. I’m so happy for the lovely couple, and cannot wait to celebrate their journey to forever with them!

I met Jazz while teaching a dance class which progressed to dancing/performing with her and becoming friends. I’m am so grateful for the talented and brilliant person she is. She’s the type of friend that looks at all perspectives to help me make better decisions and leaves me with a gem after every conversation.
Rachel
Bridesmaid
Jazmine and I first met in March 2018 in an elevator, but we got to know each other in a very small office as coworkers and then friends. Since those days, Jazmine and I have shared all kinds of stories and memories together, the good, the bad and the funny. I’m so excited that this day is finally here and can’t wait to see the life Jazmine and Thierry will create!

I never knew how to live in luxury until I met King Mizero. Blood couldn’t make us closer. The king and I have been through countless adventures and seen many victories and even a few losses along the way. He ran away from the North to find his queen and in Jazmine he succeeded. I am so proud and full of love to see the Union of Jazmine and our king. I know that the future will be filled with continued love, happiness, and joy!

When we were young Thierry was my cool cousin from New York, as time went by he evolved into a confidant, role model, and one of my best friends. He’s always inspired me to be my best self and keeps pushing me to achieve greatness. We always compete but we encourage each other to win at the same time. His greatest victory is finding a person like Jaz to spend his life with. I couldn’t be happier for both of them and I am truly blessed to share in their special moment.

I first met Thierry back in the spring or summer of 2011 while visiting my cousin at RIT in upstate New York. Fast forward to 2013, my cousin reached out and mentioned that one of his friends, Thierry, was visiting Houston and asked if I could show him around the city. We went out to Cloud 9, The Grove of Houston, and Prospect Park, just to name a few— 😉 lol…you know the vibe! My boy fell in love with Houston. I remember him saying, "Yo, yo, I’m moving down here; it’s lit lit 🔥 🔥!" (And this was when the term "lit" was just starting to catch on.) He mentioned he might have a job opportunity in San Antonio , he visited Houston a couple more times before eventually moving to San Antonio in 2014. Over the years, Thierry would text or call saying, "Yo, yo, the Mayor Houston, I’m pulling up next weekend, you free? Let’s hit up Cloud 9!" and a BBQ spot. He lived in San Antonio for about three years before moving to LA for a short period, but it wasn’t long before he made his way back to San Antonio in 2019, which ended up being one of his best decisions because that's where he met Jazmine. From day one, Thierry has been a great friend. We’ve stayed in touch, taken trips together with friends, and crashed on each other’s couches. He’s always been a positive, supportive, caring, and hardworking person who motivates everyone around him. Jazmine, you've truly found a good one. Treat him right. From Mayor of Houston to the mayor of Dallas. Congratulations to both

The first time I saw Thierry was while on my way to class at Rochester Institute of Technology in 2009. Not long after, as the semester got underway, we both attended a meeting for the Organization of African Students (OAS), a student club on campus. It was there we officially met, discovering we were pursuing the same major. From that moment, our friendship naturally unfolded. Through OAS, we formed a close-knit group of friends, sharing experiences that ranged from casual basketball games and gym sessions to parties and of course study sessions at the library. We traveled together, became roommates, and supported each other as we grew both individually and collectively. Today, I’m incredibly proud and happy to witness Thierry’s growth, especially as he embarks on this significant new chapter. I look forward to many more years of friendship and watching his journey continue with the family he is now building.

Thierry and I met in college as roommates and have been friends for over a decade. We’ve watched each other grow and become men that our younger selves would be more than proud of. We’ve supported and inspired each other through the years. All the key people in my life and the person that I am today stems from this friendship. I am happy to see Thierry take such an important step in this life journey. May success, love, and happiness continue to follow you along your journey.

I first met Thierry in the fall of 2009 on a basketball court at RIT. We introduced ourselves and shot some hoops, and I quickly realized my basketball skills were far superior. While Thierry had a decent jump shot, he had this dangerous habit of kicking out his leg, which could’ve easily led to injury. So, the only time he could score on me was from the perimeter because I wasn’t about to risk getting hurt. Inside the paint, he was too cautious to make a move. After the game, I found out something that changed my first impression—Thierry wasn’t just another guy on the court; he was a fellow Rwandan, which instantly created a bond. Meeting another Rwandan outside of Rwanda is like finding a needle in a haystack, so it felt like fate. In no time, we were playing basketball, chilling at my apartment, and going to college parties together. I quickly realized that our connection wasn’t just about basketball or our shared heritage. It was Thierry’s character that made him stand out—he’s genuine, loyal, hardworking, and empathetic. Our bond became stronger because of who he is, not just where we’re from. Over the years, we’ve shared everything—basketball games, travels, parties, and plenty of laughs. Thierry is more than just a friend; he’s my brother.

It was my first year at RIT, and I was eager to grow my network and make meaningful friendships. I had seen Thierry a few times in the residence halls and decided to introduce myself. After a thoughtful introduction, Thierry gave me a blank stare and said, "Iight, cool, see you around." I walked away from that "conversation" thinking, "F that guy." Fast forward three months, and we ended up inseparable—playing hours of basketball every day, contributing to OAS, attending any college party within a 30-mile radius (RIT had a ratio problem), and a handful of spontaneous trips. Fifteen years later, the Bombos are still going strong. One thing you quickly learn about Thierry: he's not one to openly articulate his emotions, but if he calls you a friend—or, better yet, family—he'll go to great lengths to help you and have your back.

Thierry and I first met in 2011 when I arrived at RIT. A mutual friend connected us, and after blowing up his Facebook DMs (I was pretty lost on campus), he eventually invited me to join him at the Organization of African Students. From that day on, we quickly became roommates, then brothers. Now, 14 years later, I’m excited to celebrate this special day.
