Kayleen & Christopher
Wedding Party
Ashley Perkins
Matron of Honor
Cleveland, OH Bestie 🤞🏾 Ride or die. “I’d love to say I’m aware of how me and Kay Kay became friends, but unfortunately that information is unavailable to all parties involved. As a silent introverted observer I can only assume Kay Kay spotted me in class, saw how amazing I was and adopted me as her bestie. We are now inseparable 🙃”
Jerrod Poole
Best Man
Detroit, MI Best Man and Day One "Graphic design genius. We met sophomore year at Cass Tech in computer skills class. Let's be real, the only reason we stayed in class was 'cause we were the only two straight dudes surrounded by upperclassmen girls. Might’ve even gambled a bit before one of us got kicked out. Fast forward a few years, we linked back up at BGSU and the rest is history!"

Idk where I met Kayleen at I just woke up one day & seen a photo of my toddler self on the pot eating raw greens and she was right there next to me in a baby seat just chilling and we been besties ever since. It wasn’t enough ass whoopings to keep us apart growing up …until her mother moved her from the east side of Detroit to Bowling Green,Oh. Fast forward I’m proud to be along side her with some of her greatest friends to witness her bestest friend marry her and this is til’ infinity so I hope Chris ready for the ride!”
Tristian Gunter

Unofficially, we crossed paths in the parking lot of Masonic Temple (LOL), but officially met through the PLA summer program before college at BGSU.
