Christian and Taylor are both such incredible humans and it has been an honor to witness their relationship blossom throughout the years. Christian and Taylor were actually close friends with my husband, Habib, before he and I met. It was through this friendship with Habib that I began growing close to both Chris and Tay, and we later had the honor of walking side by side with each other as dating couples. I have been able to witness the unique love Chris and Tay have for each other, and cannot wait to see it grow as they take this next step into marriage. My favorite memory with Taylor is our 24-hour road-trip to Savannah in 2021. We had begun growing closer at this point, but this trip solidified what I had been feeling - I had found a sister for life in Taylor, and her deep love and infectious smile were something I wanted and needed in my life forever. Tay stood beside me as my maid-of-honor, and I am honored to stand beside her and Christian as they leap into this new adventure together. ❤️

What I think about this beautiful couple. The couple is the poster child of trying till we get it right. Being privileged to be close to both the bride and groom, I have seen them both fight for purity, fight for compassion, fight for peace with themselves and the people around them and I know as they continue to keep God at the center of it all, their love will continue to bloom in season and out of season.

The moment Christian introduced me to Taylor, I was a bit shocked by her bubbly personality and I knew she had no malicious intent. She was not afraid or provoked by any means. She was outgoing, outspoken, bright, and very genuine. Growing up with Christian he was also outspoken and outgoing, which I think makes them a great couple while also having a God centered relationship, which is the best way. There’s never a dull moment when we have all been together and I am excited for Taylor to become my first sister-in-law!

Taylor my love I wish we could switch places for just a day, so you could see what I see every time I look at you. When I look at you, I see my best friend. I see someone who goes above and beyond to have my back. I see someone who have never given me a reason to doubt our friendship see someone who puts others before themselves and goes out of their way to make sure everyone is happy. I see the kindest, caring and selfless person I know. I see my support system, my advisor, my confidante , my sister in Christ . I see someone who will jump through hoops to be there for me when I need my them. I see someone who encourages me to do better and pushes me to achieve things I would have never thought achievable, I see someone that is honest enough to tell me when I an in the wrong and helps me make things right. I see someone who love me like there sister and looks after me like a second mom. It makes me happy to know that I will always have you as my sister and I’m so honored to be one of your bridesmaids. I love you more than ever and am so grateful to have such a wonderful person always by my side to help me with anything and everything . I’m so happy for you and Christian and I hope God continues to bless you guys continuously grow y’all relationship. Can’t wait for you to be Mrs.Aka 🫶🏾

Bridesmaid
Christine has known Taylor since their freshman year of college together at Kennesaw State University. The two met at the end of their freshman year but quickly became friends and have enjoyed walking life together since then, through any and all ups and downs. Christine loves how friendly and fun Taylor and Christian are together and how deeply they love one another. Her favorite memory — or memories — with Taylor was all the iced coffee and chat runs the girls took together in college. She looks forward to seeing how the couple blossoms in marriage and to be with them on their special day.

Best Man
So a couple years back my birthday came around and I usually don’t plan to do much for it. I try to have dinner with my parents or buy something for myself, but for the most part not much unless there are other people planning. For that year, I spent the night at Christian’s place with him and his roommates just chatting, gaming, watching tv and having a good time. They sang happy birthday to me in the middle of the night. I spent most of the my actual bday hooping and hanging with Christian again. It was one of the most encouraging bdays of my life and it showed me just how loving, attentive, and wonderful friend Christian is and would always be in my life. Can’t wait to see him give even more to being Taylor’s best friend (her husband) for life!

Ok so the best memory of you I really have a lot but the one I’ma go with is the one I can remember the most from my childhood. It was when we played ncaa 09 on the ps2 and we were on the same team. I think we was using boise state because I remember the blue field which I loved. I do not know what possessed you to let me stay on your team because I know you enjoyed beating me mercilessly and I usually didn’t like sports games at this age but it brought me so much joy to actually be winning in a football game that I hated. After this day you didn’t notice but I started dipping my toes in sports games especially when we got the 360. overall I’m still not a big fan but it made playing them a little more tolerable and enjoyable and gave me the idea I can actually get better at stuff and want to play them by myself. I remember after that day like a week later I wanted to be a running back and you would wake me up early for like 3 Saturdays to help me as you would say “get tuff” by beating the dog mess out of me for no reason and I’ll go inside after 20 minutes of the abuse. The next to best memory is when I finally beat you at something which was 2k20 and it took you 3 tries to beat me. Best day of my life. after years of torment, misery, and agony.

Where to start .. My first brother my first partner in crime . My ace. You have always been your brothers keepers and continue to do so. You have always been the glue that holds this bond together. Through thick and thin you have always made sure you supported me. My favorite memory of us is the day you were born I wanted a little brother so bad and God blessed me with you. I love you Bro.

One of my favorite memories is one of the first times we met, we were both laughing hard. I loved your energy and how you presented yourself to me. I felt like we caught an instant vibe, and there's nothing more you can ask for when u meet your loved ones, mate. I instantly liked you and I always hoped that u both would fall in love. I'm so glad that we are about to become brothers.

My favorite memory (one of lol there are too many) of Christian was during covid’s peak! We were all on lockdown and the only way to connect was virtually. He and I started to game EVERY night (Naturally we played Warzone and acted like we were really in the military)! Christian asked me if there were any girls I was interested in (at the time dating was not on my mind). He lowkey started my search for a mate lol. Now I’m married and he’s getting married!

I’m excited for Christian to have this moment and do what he’s been doing since him and Taylor started dating. Being a great husband! Ik with God guiding you bro, you will know how to guide and lead Taylor. Can’t wait to join you in this moment, and for you to have good married fun😉

To Christian My dawg, my twin, the bro. Whenever I begin to doubt God’s ability to redeem and work through a simple greeting and outreach, I think of you dawg. I consider you to be a gift and a lifelong brother in the faith to me. Despite the current business of life and hard work in pursuing our goals, it has only shown me that no matter how much time passes, whenever I get around you and the brothers, it is almost like no time has passed at all for me bro. It is beyond a show of kindness from our Father that we get to celebrate this next stage in your life. I’m immensely grateful that God had blessed you up with a faithful soon to be bride in Taylor. I’m eagerly looking forward to properly celebrating yall two my guy 💪🏾 I KNOW it’ll be a MOVIE. Until then, I’m sending overflowing love to both of yall from this end💚 couple with prayers for y’all’s individual relationships with God. Gratitude, K. Ume
