Jeffrey & Monica
Wedding Party
Ki Buffin
Maid of Honor
MONICA'S BEST FRIEND Monica: "Ki is my soulmate best friend. We've been at each other’s side since first meeting at Dunbar Middle School. With a friendship that has lasted for almost 30 years, we've experienced and celebrated a lot of milestones together - college graduation & achieving advanced degrees, growing our corporate careers, relocations across the country and now…marriage! We’ve traveled the globe together, shared countless laughs until we cried happy tears & wiped each other’s grieving tears when enduring tough losses in our lives. Anyone that truly knows me, knows that Ki is the woman I want standing by my side on this special day. Ki, you are a phenomenal woman. It is truly my privilege to have had your friendship for all these years <queue Golden Girls theme song>"
Anndrea Harris
Matron of Honor
MONICA'S NIECE Monica: "Anndrea is the special delivery that made me an Auntie when I was 7 years old. She’s been more like my little sister that has brought so much joy to my life. I’ve watched Anndrea grow up to become an amazing wife and mother of 3 children who I love like they are my own. When I need a marketing and branding genius – I call Anndrea. When I lack creativity and need inspiration – I call Anndrea. When I want someone to laugh at old “Martin” episodes with me – I call Anndrea. Bottom line, she’s always been there for me and I’m so happy to have her be a part of our special day. Anndrea, it’s a blessing to have a family member also be a dear friend. I love you & I am honored to have you stand with me. Now let’s celebrate! <queue Martin ‘Do the pocketknife'>"
Daniel Warren
Groomsman
JEFFREY'S BEST FRIEND Jeff: "Daniel is my oldest & closest friend. Through job changes, relationship challenges & everything in between he's been in my corner for over 15 years. We first met at work, hit it off, and have been road dogs ever since. He's the epitome of 'knowing where the bodies are buried' when it comes to Big Jeff, and the trust we share made him a slam dunk to attend me on my special day. Whether we were partnering up studying for an IT cert, or taking down poker/blackjack tables at the casino, it's great to have someone with whom you have so much in common. He's welcomed me into his family, and I've been honored to be along for the ride on HIS journey into fatherhood. Thank you, Daniel, for not only being a great friend, but also a standout example of a husband and dad!"
Robert Woodson
Groomsman
JEFFREY'S BEST FRIEND & ΩΨΦ BROTHER Jeff: "Robert is one of my newest friends, and who'd have thought we'd started off exchanging DMs on Instagram 3 years ago discussing bourbon. But having him standing by my side is not only an honor on my wedding day, but EVERY day. He's more than just a fraternity Brother, or a bourbon brother. We've geeked out on a NUMBER of subjects & passions from our very complex backgrounds, and like me, he's not your average one- or two-dimensional brother. It didn't take long after first meeting Robert to know I'd found a like-minded friend for life. Whether podcasting together, or hunting whiskey in the back woods of KY, he's family. To me, Robert can't help but shine as a father, leader & man of faith. Thank you, Robert, and 'Roo to the Good Bruhs, Que!'"
