Best Woman
Skylar is my (Josh) bestie for the restie! She has been a strong pillar in my life through changes, arguments, depression and so much more. She has stood by me standing the test of time and proving that you make time for the people that matter the most. Though distance is between us, whenever we link up it is as if no time has passed at all. You are eternally my family and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
King Jamal Williams

Oh Mr. Mallinhead, Will he fall asleep on you? Sure. Will he argue with you? Absolutely! But he will never let you down and thats a fact Jack! Whit, Passion, Talent and heart! All these powers combined, make the best big brother and best man we could ask for.
King Joshua Washington
Man of Honor
What's Lupin without Jigen? Goku without piccolo? Joshua is the definition of a renaissance man and a staple in our lives. He's great a listener, a good time and if you're not careful, he'll get you drunk af. The bond we've built over the years transcends friendship and continues to withstand the test of time. My brother, it's only right to have you beside me as I follow your example into the rest of my life.
Queen Chane Washington
Maid of Honor
Chane is a beautiful soul full of life, love and light who always shines brightly in our lives. She has been there during good times and bad and has always had the best energy no matter the situation. We'll never forget how delicious her glass noodles were when she left them in our home. Thanks girl, we love you forever.
Queen Ashley Vester
Groomswoman
Ashley is my (Josh) right hand woman and one of the best confidants that I have ever had the pleasure of welcoming into my life. From Afro Am President and Vice President, to kicking it at the pool drinking wine and beer, to taking genetics over and over and over she has continued to be a major pillar in my life. So full of love, joy and fire, this day wouldn't be as special without you here.
King Lennex Cowen

Lennex is a brother in a deeper sense. One who sees us for who we are, understands the grind, and encourages our growth.

She will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Michael is the brother that we never knew we needed and are so honored to have in our lives.
King Jackie Battles
Groomsman
Through thick and thin it’s important to have someone by your side to support you when you just don’t know if you’re making the right choices. Jackie has been a monumental figure in my life since entering the House of Alpha. His whit, charm and incredible sense of humor make him the best friend a guy could ever have. Match that with his wisdom and knowledge and progressively more leveled head and you have a really good brother. We are proud to call him our brother and invite him to share a place in our lives for all time.
Queen Andrea Battles
Groomswoman
The first time I met Drea I knew that she would be around forever. Her pure energy and incredible sense of support immediately shined as bright as her beautiful smile. She is a nurturer that steps in as soon as the need is made known. Her sincere kindness and laid back attitude makes her the perfect person to lend a shoulder in need. We are so honored to have her as a member of our village from now until forever.
King Brandon Wright
Groomsman
Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by Daylight, honestly ,truly will never run from a real fight! 800 characters only scratches the surface of good things we could say about Brandon! He is a true force for good and light. This special day would be incomplete without him. He may not have the polyester bodycon suit but he's the closest thing to a Power Ranger i've seen.
Queen Brittani Hunter

Two words, Miss Thang! Brittani is more than a niece, she is my (Josh) sister, my friend, a business woman and so much more. Her strong opinion, sharp whit and humble attitude makes her a charming and beautiful force.

Queen Camela Baker
Mother of the Groom
My mother has taught me many things. How to love and how to be patient. How to think and act with integrity. How to think of others instead of just thinking of myself. She has acted as a pillar in my life since the beginning and encourages me to be the best man that I can be. She has taught me to keep God as my head and never let the devil get so close that I can hear his voice. She taught me how to be a king who is wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. She instilled into me how to work hard and play harder, how to always be true to myself and above all things to stand tall. I am grateful to have my mother share in this life changing journey with me.
King Calvin L. Warren
Father of the Groom
My father taught me how to be a man in two very different ways, through action and through observation. He showed me how to love deep and hustle hard to ensure that my family is safe and cared for. He taught me how to learn from the mistakes of others and do the things that you don’t want to do because they need to be done. My father taught me how to take care of myself and cook up some really good food. How to make sure I’m healthy and in shape to stick around for the generations behind me. He taught me how to reach for the stars because there’s one life to live. Keep an open mind and an open heart and always keep my eye fixed to the heavens. I am blessed to have my father with me on this beautiful journey of life.
Queen Carol Surney
Mother of the Groom
A group of wise boys, who are now men, once said “ No one else can be what you have been to me. You will always be the woman in my life for all times.” Forever my queen, my shield it is my honor to usher in the next chapter of my life with you, where are you’ve always been, by my side.
King Dwayne Surney
Father of the Groom
If “positive motivating force within my life” was a person, it’d be you. Since I’ve met you it’s been nothing but love respect and learning. Dwayne is a shining example of what a caring loving father/man should be. And even though “you are not the father” The lie detector determined that it doesn’t matter! I love you all the same and I can’t wait to have you here on our special day.
