Wedding Party
Ashley Powell
Bride
Jermaine Willis
Groom
Jalyn Powell
Maid of Honor
Jalyn, is my big sister and right hand girl! We are two peas in the pod and have walked through the toughest and happiest times together. Two sisters who never imagined they would be so close, from stealing each other’s clothes, countless arguments, to taking on life and the dance floor together! Our motto is; if we are arguing with each other, do not jump in it or we will both turn on you! We shield each other, protect each other, and no time is a good time without the other.
James Sydnor
Best Man
JD my guy I just want to say you’re not just my brother you’re one of the most important people in my life. We’ve grown up together, gone through everything side by side, and no matter what, you’ve always had my back. Your loyalty, your advice, the jokes, the late-night talks, and even the arguments all of it helped shape who I am today. I wouldn’t be the man I am without you, and I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side for this moment.
Adrianna Powell
Bridesmaid
Adrianna, is my little sister. She is the sweetest soul and always has a big smile on her face. Adrianna is the yin to my yang. Adrianna values time with both Jermaine and I, always asking to tag along even if we are only going down the road! She is the best third wheel a girl could ever ask for.
Malik Mackey
Groomsman
Malik you’ve been there through everything the ups, the downs, the wild moments, and all the times we’ve had each other’s backs. You’ve always kept it real, stayed loyal, and brought that energy that lifts everyone around you. We’ve shared so many memories that I’ll never forget, from the laughs to the lessons, and through it all, your friendship has been a constant I can count on. Thank you for always being solid, for the support, the laughs, and for being the kind of friend who’s family in every sense of the word.
Kylee Powell
Bridesmaid
Our ‘Kylee Whiley’ as Jermaine calls her. She is the baby of the sisters. Kylee usually loves to ask us for candy, food, concert tickets, or anything my mom won’t buy her! She is smart, charismatic, and has my dad’s sense of humor. Kylee is a breath of fresh air and I have been able to watch her blossom into a beautiful human.
Hykeem Evans
Groomsman
Hykeem you’ve always been the outdoorsman of the group whether it’s hunting, fishing and I’ve always respected how real and grounded you are. You bring a calm, steady energy that a lot of people don’t have, and I’ve always appreciated that about you. Thanks for being the kind of friend who shows up, puts in the work, and keeps it honest. Having you by my side for this moment means a lot to me.
Lumekka Sydnor
Bridesmaid
Lumekka who I call “Missy’ keeps me grounded in more ways than one. From trips across the world, to day trips, brunch dates, and laughter, every moment spent will live with me forever. She is the definition of a girls girl, when she’s stern with me I call her Aunty when we are just being girls she’s missy! No matter the time or day I know she can be counted on. I have known her as long as me and Jermaine have been together, over 10 years & it’s Forever to go!
Freddie Willis - Eley
Groomsman
Freddie you’re not just my cousin — you’ve always been more like a brother. From the time we were kids to where we are now, we’ve shared so many moments that helped shape who I am. The laughs, the trouble we got into, the family gatherings, the late-night conversations — all of it built a bond that I’ll always be grateful for. You’ve always brought your own vibe Having you beside me during one of the biggest moments of my life isn’t just an honor, it feels right. You’ve been part of my life for so long that I couldn’t imagine this day without you there.
Maia Sydnor
Bridesmaid
Maia is easily lovable, from the first time we met we bonded on how much her husband James Sydnor and the groom, Jermaine Willis are so much alike! The boys were both raised by the amazing Luchelle Stevens. We often compare stories of the men and laugh because her and I also share a lot of similarities. Maia has a heart of gold and has always been a listening ear and big supporter of our union. She values family and has always made me part of hers, I can’t wait for her to walk along side me in this journey!
Noah Piper

Alvina Afrifa
Bridesmaid
Alvina is my childhood best friend! We have seen each other through many phases of life. Over the years Vina has been my voice of reason and shoulder to lean on. When we are together it feels like no time has passed and even when life is busy we are able to pick up where we left off. We always talked about this day - Now it is finally here and I’m blessed to have you walk this journey with me.
