Matron of Honor
Justine and I met Sophomore year of high school. She moved to Georgia from South Carolina and I moved from North Carolina. Oddly we met in band class in the clarinet section. One day, we shared the funniest moment-- a joke only we got, lol-- and from that point I realized I met a life long friend. We have literally grown together from our first jobs at the YMCA to going our separate ways in college, yet through it all our friendship only grew. I am honored to be her Matron of Honor and I can’t wait to celebrate her and Chris’s love in NOLA.

To my cousin who I wish was a brother: congratulations on finding me a new sister and taking the next big step in life! We played together in the sandbox, and now I feel honored to stand with you on this day. #Jus&Chris(topher)2021

While Justine and I met originally through Kaylah during one of my many visits to Georgia, it would be our time at Spelman College that bonded us as sisters for life. We studied together, we achieved milestones together, we partied together, and most importantly, we blossomed together. Thirteen years in the making and our bond is as tight as ever. Justine is the definition of a real friend! I feel so blessed to witness my best friend transition from Burke to Baynham when she marries her other half, Chris!

Hi, my name is Caleb. Chris was one of the first people I became friends with in high school at Forest Park; we have been friends now for over half of my life. Over the years, we've shared a love for the game of basketball that has brought us many lasting memories. I'll never forget how hype he was the first day he was telling me about Justine. I'm honored to be a part and support my brother's union to such a phenomenal woman. I can't wait to be in New Orleans celebrating their love, making even more lasting memories!

Justine and I met at Spelman College. One night of dancing is all it took to create a lifelong friendship. She is my soul sister. We have shared great laughs and have so many beautiful memories. I'm excited to be by her side as she begins her new journey. Let's dance into this new chapter!

I met Chris my freshman year of high school. Ever since, we've been like brothers from living with each other at T3, to going to watch Alabama vs. Tennessee, to now coaching together at Forest Park. I'm happy that my best friend has found his forever love in Justine.

I want to start off by saying how incredibly proud I am of Chris and Justine. My name is Devin Cummings, friend and groomsman of Chris. I have known Chris for 16 years! From living in the same neighborhood, to Chris sneaking past my house to play basketball alone at "The Park," to countless parties in high school, to attending college in the same area, which included more parties up and down Highway 64, Chris and I have done it all together! I am completely overjoyed that he has met such an amazing woman in Justine. A foodie and outstanding cook to feed his overwhelming "greediness." Justine has provided Chris with everything he needs to become a better man and soon-to-be wonderful husband! I am honored to stand beside Chris and Justine as the two become one.

While Justine and I’s time at Spelman College overlapped, it was not until law school at UGA that our paths would cross as roommates. From late night/all day study sessions, friends and couples vacations, and countless more fun memories, Justine is one of my closest friends. I’m looking forward to being a part of her and Chris’s special day in New Orleans!

Congratulations, Chris! I'm so happy for you and Justine and so excited for the wedding day. If I had any input, I believe you met your perfect match and would like to wish you both happiness for eternity. You're one of my best friends and I welcome your fiance and soon-to-be wife with open arms. I'm eager to see her creativity, open mind and deep passions mixed with your southern, gentle soul and intelligent mind come together as one. Love you, bro.

Justine and I met in a GroupMe chat in 2015 after I first moved to the DMV. Shortly after, she moved to the DMV, too, & that was all she wrote! From monthly brunches & happy hours to fashion tips & insiders, she has become one of my closest girlfriends. I am so excited and to be a part of Justine & Chris’ special day!

As Justine's younger brother, I remember when we were little kids giggling about one of our many, many inside jokes at always the most inappropriate times—literally (failing at) holding back tears of laughter until we couldn’t breathe... And now she's a whole oldhead getting married. So here’s to a happy marriage! *raises glass* *pours another*
