Kaylee & Donavon
Wedding Party
Talisa
Maid of Honor
"I'm Talisa (I don’t really have any fun nicknames) Fun Fact: Although I am the most nonathletic and uncoordinated person on the planet, I was a competitive cheerleader throughout high school (not sure how I pulled that off but I was actually pretty good at it). My favorite thing about Kaylee and DJ’s relationship is that it is a beautiful example of unwavering love and support. No matter what endeavor they take on, they stand by each other with encouragement and positivity, facing every challenge with grace and resilience. Their love is truly inspiring, showing what it means to be partners in every sense of the word. Watching them together has not only given me a deeper appreciation for what love should look like, but their wisdom and advice have also made a meaningful impact on my own relationship. They are a testament to the power of love, friendship, and unwavering commitment."

One thing I truly admire about DJ and Kaylee’s relationship is how they’ve consistently shown up for each other. From navigating long distance to moving from Orlando to Atlanta, their enduring support in all aspects of life is inspiring. It’s been amazing to watch them grow even closer while taking this next big step together.”

My favorite thing about Kay and DJ’s relationship is the deep connection they share, where they always function as a team. Through thick and thin, they support each other, facing challenges together and never backing down.

And my fav thing about Donavon and Kaylee's relationship is that they make sure to have fun with being in love. It’s great to get texts that show them doing something wild together and smiling wide as ever!"
Tatyhana
Bridesmaid
"I’m Tatyhana, but you can call me Taty or Tat. Fun Fact: I auditioned for the kids show Barney, and although it was my favorite show at the time, it must’ve been surreal because I cried the entire time I was there. My favorite thing about Kaylee and DJ's relationship is how much he supports her in everything that she does. I’ve watched him support her through school, personal ups and downs, and Kaylee playing flag football (where we met), and more. I never forget when we had a “How to find a DJ?” session basically with me and some other friends, and we were so intrigued like YASSS friend show us the waaayyyy."
Slade
Groomsman
“Hey, my name is Slade. I am DJ’s brother! Fun fact: I’m working towards my private pilot’s license and dream of one day flying for Delta Airlines. I’ve also watched the TV series POWER six times. My favorite thing about Kaylee and DJ’s relationship is their incredible chemistry and their shared desire to grow and become better each day. It’s truly inspiring to see such love and commitment. They set a powerful example for me and many others.“
Shomari
Bridesmaid
"My name is Shomari, but everyone calls me “Sho” or “Showtime” Fun fact: I travel bartend and casually play ukulele in my spare time. DJ and Kaylee first met during my graduation party in 2016 and they have been inseparable every since. Their love has been there from day one and it’s been a beautiful thing to be able to see the growth of those two all the way around. Beautiful couple, beautiful family, beautiful life together."
Montrell
Groomsman
“Hey everybody, I’m Montrell! Fun Fact: I have an unusual amount of hobbies including : Hiking, Mycology, MMA, Guitar, Cooking, Reading, Working out, Traveling, Fishing and adding more. What I love about Kaylee and DJ’s relationship is the way they look at each other. It’s the eyes that are said to be the windows to the soul, and when those to two look at each other you can see their souls hug in celebration they found each other.”
Samantha
Bridesmaid
"My name is Samantha but everyone calls me “Sam” Fun fact: I am a Staff Sergeant in the Army and currently working on a packet to become Tactician Warrant Officer. I’m usually the loudest and most lit in the group and love to make memories with friends. I’m also that friend that’s going to be recording the moments and I love a group picture. My favorite thing about DJ and THE Kaylee Queen is remembering the first party she ever brought him to and it was like two people found their soulmate. I noticed the chemistry between them from the jump and how he supported her through whatever she wanted in life and her doing the same for him. I’ve truly always been the biggest fan and this is my hallmark poster couple. I knew her heart was safe with him and a friend couldn’t ask for more."
Girum
Groomsman
“Hey, my name is Girum, pronounced “groom”. Fun Fact: When I need to regroup, I do the “ginger bread man” scene from Shrek. The most admirable and my favorite thing about Kay and DJ’s relationship is their portrayal of persistent support and investment in each other. It’s so uncommon to see love grow from being children (basically) into adulthood. It takes undying commitment, true forgiveness, continuous learning, endless discussions, and a lot of spent time. It’s beautiful to watch both Kay and DJ love each other and be infatuated with each other like it’s the first day.”
Rebecca
Bridesmaid
"Hey I’m Rebecca! Everyone calls me Rebecca lol Becca works too. Fun fact : Im Haitian, born and raised in Miami, I am missing a knuckle on my ring finger and no one realized it until I was about 10 years old. I remember meeting Kaylee the first week of anesthesia school and everything was "DJ this" and “my boyfriend that.” When I finally met him and seen them together, it was so obvious that this was a forever thing!! My favorite thing about Kaylee and DJ's relationship is the way they always have each other’s back through WHATEVER. I literally saw her ready to square up about DJ and he wasn’t even there. The way these two genuinely love and support each other shows in every thoughtful gesture they make to help the other feel special; regardless if it’s to celebrate an accomplishment or when life starts throwing punches. They are honestly the definition of unconditional love and I’m here for all of it."
Reese
Groomsman
Reese: “I’m Maurice, but everybody calls me Reese. Fun fact: I have nine siblings, two brothers and seven sisters. My favorite thing about DJ and Kay’s relationship is how effortlessly they bring out the best in each other. Whether it's the way they support each other's dreams or the way they make love look so easy and natural. Watching their journey has been incredible, and I know this next chapter will be even better. Wishing them both a lifetime of love and endless adventures!“
Priscilla
Bridesmaid
“My name is Priscilla but people also call me “P”. Fun fact: I’m the last of 9 kids and I love to spend my free time with my 12 year old doggy. He is my whole life! My favorite thing about Kaylee and DJ is the brightness they bring to each other. I remember when I first met Kaylee and the way she spoke about him, I knew they were meant to be and were going to get married. I can’t believe I get to be apart of their special day!”
Alonza
Groomsman
"Hello I'm Alonza Jamar ! Everyone calls me A.J. Fun fact: I've known D.J. my entire lifetime that's for real my brother until the end of time. I'm also a former athlete, now a documentary style photographer, and a student videographer. I'm obsessed with all forms of art. Truthfully they are the exemplification of power! Since the very first moment I met Kay at DJs college graduation her energy has been nothing short of genuine and welcoming. Ironic enough that's always been D.J. since a young age as well. Time to revert back to the most important word power. These two create such powerful vibrations that there's nothing they cannot accomplish by themselves, but when they're together it multiplies immensely. You can feel the power of what they can accomplish together from cities, states, probably even galaxies away. They own each room with love and confidence... and those are very special qualities I admire. I've been a fan since day one and I'm extremely excited for your shared future.”
