Kayla
Maid of Honor
Meet Kayla My Partner in Crime Since 2012! Our friendship began on the track team at Dorman High School back in 2012. Little did we know that the girl I met during those after-school practices would become my rock, confidante, and now, my maid of honor. From navigating the ups and downs of high school to embarking on the adventure of attending undergrad college together, Kayla has been by my side through it all. Our bond has only grown stronger over the years, filled with countless memories, laughter, and unwavering support. As we stand on the brink of a new chapter in my life, I couldn’t imagine anyone else by my side on this journey. Thank you, Kayla, for being my best friend, my partner in crime, and now, my maid of honor. Here’s to many more years of friendship and unforgettable moments together!
Raven
Bridesmaid
Sometimes, friendships are forged in the most unexpected places. That’s exactly what happened when I met Raven in 2023 while working at the hospital. From the moment we met, it was as if we had known each other for years. Our connection was instant, and our bond only grew stronger with time. What I admire most about Raven is her unwavering support and honesty. She’s the kind of friend who will always tell it like it is, no matter what. Whether I need a shoulder to lean on or a reality check, I can always count on her to be there for me. As I embark on this journey into married life, I am so grateful to have Raven standing by my side as one of my bridesmaids. Her friendship means the world to me, and I can’t wait to create more unforgettable memories together. Thank you, Raven, for your friendship, your support, and your honesty. Let’s make some amazing memories on my special day and beyond!
Jessica
Bridesmaid
Jessica is what I like to call my “sister’s sister” but over the years, she’s become so much more than that. We’re connected through family: my sister and I share the same mom, and she and my sister share the same dad. Growing up, her dad would take me along on fun weekend trips with them including unforgettable days at Cedar Point and those experiences helped start the bond we have today. Back then, we didn’t always get along perfectly (as kids do!), but our relationship has grown into something truly meaningful. We’ve traveled together, shared so many laughs, and built a connection that feels just like family. I’m so happy to have her standing beside me on this special day not just as my sister’s sister, but as someone who feels like a sister to me, too.
Olivia
Bridesmaid
I am overjoyed to have my amazing little sister, Olivia, as one of my bridesmaids. Olivia brings so much joy and energy into my life with her vibrant spirit and loving heart. Watching her grow up into the wonderful person she is today has been a true blessing. I am so grateful to have her by my side on this special day, making our celebration even more memorable.
Paris
Bridesmaid
I'm so happy to have my wonderful bridesmaid, Paris, by my side on my wedding day. We first met during my senior year and her freshman year, and we clicked instantly. Paris's honesty and playful spirit made her a joy to be around. We've shared countless silly moments and have always been able to be our true selves together. Her genuine friendship and fun-loving nature mean the world to me, and I couldn't imagine celebrating this special day without her.
Patrick
Best Man
Meet my best man, Patrick. We've been inseparable since we met in 2008 on the AAU Xpress basketball team. His fun, wild, and adventurous spirit has made our friendship an unforgettable journey. He's always someone I can count on, no matter what. One memorable moment that still makes me laugh is when, in true Patrick fashion, he yelled out in public that he did 9/11. His humor and authenticity have been a constant source of joy and support in my life. I'm honored to have such a loyal and genuine friend standing by my side on this special day.
Jamaral
Best Man
Meet my best man, Jamaral. We've been tight since we met in 2008 on the AAU Xpress basketball team. Jamaral is the chill, go-with-the-flow guy who's always the voice of reason in our crew. I'll never forget the time he came over and hilariously crashed the dirt bike at my place. Jamaral is the one I turn to for advice or just to talk sports. He's a reliable friend who's always there when I need him, and I'm grateful to have him by my side on this special day.
Quonne
Groomsman
I first met Quonne back in 2008 through AAU basketball. He was the popular kid, known for his skills on the court/field and his natural ability to draw people in. From the moment we became friends, he took on the role of the turn-up friend in our crew, always bringing the energy and fun. We’ve shared countless memories together, but one of the standout moments has to be our trips to SC State, hanging out in Trick’s dorm room. Quonne’s been a part of some of my best times, and I’m lucky to have him by my side on this special day.
Markux
Groomsman
I met Markux back in 2009 during high school while playing basketball at Tony’s house. He quickly became known for his unbelievable acting skills and his hilarious ability to pass out on command. Markux was always there to support us, attending every basketball game, and he’s easily the Stephen A. Smith of the crew any sports debate you throw his way, he’ll argue it to the end. One of the most unforgettable moments was the night before Spark’s wedding, when we got pulled over, and Markux jumped out of the car, threw all his stuff at the cops, and told them to “hold on!” Beyond all the fun, Markux is someone I trust to talk business with, and we often discuss our entrepreneurial dreams for the future.
Jaylen
Groomsman
I first met my brother Jaylen the day he was born March 9th, 2004. After 11 years of waiting, I was beyond excited to finally become a brother. One of the funniest memories I have is when our mom was cleaning, and Jaylen tumbled down the steps, bouncing all the way down, completely unbothered! As a kid, he loved to play “coming to the stage,” introducing himself as J Dog from Colorado. He once said his dream job was to be a police officer. Back in elementary school, Jaylen played basketball for the YMCA, where he’d regularly drop 20-30 points a game, and everyone thought he’d be the next big star. Over the years, he’s become someone I can always count on for support and good conversation.
Vernon
Groomsman
I met Vernon in 2015 during my first year at UNOH, introduced by a college teammate while he was cutting hair in the dorm. I let him cut my hair once and only once! As we talked, we realized we had a lot in common, and he even claimed he could hoop, though I’m still waiting to see those skills in action. Some of the most memorable moments with Vern include him being on crutches the entire time I’ve known him, driving his car (which he called “the casket”) on two wheels, and street racing Derek through the streets of Lima. One of the wildest moments was when Vernon smooth-talked his way into a Florida resort for free, a place we definitely had no business being in.
Neajha
Something Blue
There’s no one who knows me quite like my sister. From childhood memories to life’s biggest moments, she’s been there through it all with endless love, laughter, and unwavering support. She’s not only my sister but also my protector and my biggest cheerleader. Her sense of humor has kept me grounded during the toughest times, and her kindness and loyalty have been a constant source of strength. I’m beyond lucky to have her by my side on this special day, just as I’ve been lucky to have her by my side in life. I couldn’t imagine celebrating this moment without her!
