“Marriage is a thousand little things...it’s giving up your right to be right in the heat of an argument. It’s forgiving one another when let down. It’s loving each other enough to step down so the other can shine. It’s friendship. It’s being a cheerleader and trusted confidant. It’s a place of forgiveness that welcomes one home, and arms they can run to in the midst of a storm. It’s grace!” -Darlene Schact My dear friends, may your union be blessed always and forever!
Jamal Norcome
Best Man
Embrace each others differences as you two embark on the life long journey to becoming one. Give grace to one another because no one’s perfect and forgive/reconcile quickly! Most importantly have fun, marriage is meant to be enjoyable.

As you both embark on this new journey, I pray God goes ahead of you and perfects everything that concerns you both. I admire you all's dedication to be intentional about your growth as a couple. Remember that no matter what, God is with you and will be with you every step of the way on this new journey. How could He not? You both included Him from the very beginning. Love you both!

Enjoying one another is better than competing against each other. You'll both be right and you'll both be wrong. So let go of your desire to prove him/her wrong. Or become wrong for being right.
Sophia Ebinum
Bridesmaid
Don't give room for pride in the relationship. Always be quick to apologize and quick to forgive.

Marriage is a beautiful garden latent with potential and possibilities. God has called us to steward and cultivate this garden, and a key question that has anchored me in this reality is, "How can I create the environment for my spouse to thrive?" Leading with this question in mind has led to fruitfulness!

In marriage, you will experience happiness along with disappointments. In those happy moments, cherish every second of the love, laughter, and intimacy! In those challenging moments, remember that your partner isn't perfect, but choose to show unwavering love and grace, knowing that these moments will create the space for growth. Love is a choice -- choose wisely.

1. Be intentional with how you show up and support each other. I love the adage, “How you show up for one thing is how you’ll show up for everything”. 2. Stay in sound counseling. 3. There is a difference between infatuation and love. Infatuation can fade, but love is a choice that goes beyond emotions. It comes with immense sacrifice, patience, humility, service, and forgiveness. 4. Cling to God and allow him to lead your family with Him as the head. I believe if you both keep these as central tenets of how you navigate your marriage, you will be successful. I love you both and cannot wait to stand by your side on the wedding day!

You all are such an example to many and may your marriage be fruitful. Excited to see this next level of growth and maturity for you both. Keep the bar down on this roller coast ride!
Simbiat Shodeinde

It's remarkable that you both started off as friends. Every year, look back and aim for your friendship to go deeper and deeper. There are three things that grow more precious with age; old wood to burn, old books to read, and old friends to enjoy.
Steven Johnson

Keep God first.

A Joyful heart is good medicine, but two joyful hearts?! Cue the violins.

Never go to bed angry with each other. It's okay to give someone space after a disagreement, but always regroup, talk about it and at the end of day you’ll be ready for the journey that the next day brings…together.
Taeler Wilson
Bridesmaid
Never forget what your love felt like in the beginning. Holding on to those feelings will not only help get you through the best and toughest time, but continuously remind you why you decided to become one.

Marriage is not just a spiritual connection created by God - it is a physical representation of God’s love for all humankind. More importantly, it is a mental reminder for you Jerel to know that Kim is always right lol. Cheers to a lifetime of forevers and may God’s love guide your marriage and protect your love even through the storms.
