Stine & Kevin
Wedding Party
Mahasha Griffin
Bridesmaid
Hello! My name is Mahasha and I have known Stine since 2012. We were both on the governing board of HSO (Haitian Student Organization) and part of the dance troupe, Tou Cho. I am honored to be part of the bridal party cause Stine has a great heart and I’m sure will be a wonderful wife. My favorite memory would have to be one day while relaxing at the main dance troupe house she literally looked at my toes and HAD to redo my polish. She did a great job!
Avyana Chapman
Bridesmaid
My name is Avyana Chapman but many refer to me as Avy! I have had the pleasure to know Stine since middle school but really became close friends in high school. One of my favorite memories with Stine was when we all went to prom together, none of us ladies had dates so we decided to go as a big group of girl friends and had the best time ever! Career-wise, I wear many hats. I am a social media strategist, a freelance journalist, a monetized food blogger, and own a nanny agency! I was born and raised in Boca Raton, Florida but culturally am a huge mutt. My family is Caribbean (a blend of to many islands to mention), European, Black American, and much more. In my free time I love cooking, going on adventures, traveling the world, learning new skills, planning and decorating for events, and spending time with my boyfriend Kevin, family, and friends. I am so honored to be apart of Stine & Kevin's special day! Excited to meet everyone and celebrate this wonderful union together.
Martha Joseph
Bridesmaid
Hello my name is Martha, preferred name J. I also met our lovely bride to be at FIU. My favorite memory Stine is when she took care of me when I wasn't feeling well.
Brianna Wilmoth
Bridesmaid
While my name is Brianna, most people affectionately refer to me as Brie. If your name is Stine Jean soon to be Mrs. Stine Patterson, you often call me Cheese while giggling. I’m 27 years old, and of Jamaican heritage and upbringing. Professionally, I am Casualty Insurance Broker with a niche/focus in Construction risk. I’ve been in the insurance industry for six years now, wearing multiple hats prior to finding a home in Brokerage. In my free time, I love spending time with family and friends, working out, and traveling. Recently, I’ve taken up learning how to play golf, which is a patient game I’m learning to have respect and admiration for. Stine and I met in Mrs. Rothberg’s Geometry class in 9th grade. It didn’t take very long for a fast friendship laden with inside jokes and belly aching laughter to form. Throughout high school, we shared most of our classes together. I have many favorite moments with Stine, but I’ll do the honor of sharing one that’s equally embarrassing for both of us. In the midst of completing a group project, we left my house with our friends Kim and Christy to drive to Kim’s house. As we are driving, I notice a spider directly over Kim’s head. Stine did too, and she shrieked and yelled “spider”. We ALL started screaming and panicking. Kim nearly crashed her car. The spider had to be no bigger than the size of a nickel. As soon as we realized how ridiculous this would have looked to anyone watching our meltdown, we all busted out in laughter.
Cynthia Jacques
Bridesmaid
Hey everyone! My name is Cynthia and I’m 27 years old. I’m currently a Program Coordinator at FIU which coincidentally is where I met Stine. We both began attending FIU in 2013 and Stine was the very first friend that I made in college. Nearly 10 years later it is an honor to stand beside her on such a special day. *Fun fact: I was in Stine’s dorm at Parkview as she was getting ready to go on her first date with Kevin — at Starbucks!
Berdith Lebraun
Bridesmaid
Hi my name is Berdith Lebrun. I’m 28 years old. I currently work at Boca Ration hospital. I met Stine at FIU during an HSO meeting. My favorite memory of Stine is when we spent the whole day together. She got me lost going to Walmart from FIU. She claimed I didn’t need the GPS because she knows her way around.
Gayta Prospere Louis
Matron of Honor
Hi, my name is Gayta Prospere. I've known Stine for over 8 years. We met a college during an HSO meeting, she was very active. She was one of the pioneers for Tou Cho which is a dance group I started in college. From then, our friendship continued to grow. Stine was the coordinator for my wedding. She is so organize and she made sure my day went smoothly. I look forward to doing the same for her.
Josh Rico
Groomsman
Kevin and I crossed paths in August of 2007 when we became roommates at this wonderful destination called Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana! Since that day, Kevin has been like an older brother to me that I thank God daily for. We have memories to last us a lifetime! Oh, don't worry KP, your secrets are safe with me. May God bless you and Mrs. Patterson! V/R, Joshua Rico
Stephen Jackson
Groomsman
Greetings, I go by the name Action Jackson, better known as Stephen, born and raised in Norfolk, Virginia. I currently serve in the United States Air Force, where I’ve been for the past 15 years. KP and I met in 2007, while attending technical training at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. He was the dark-skinned guy in Texas! He was someone that I could count on to be a wingman but, he was known to set me up for failure over the years. LOL! Over the next four years, we were stationed together in Great Falls, Montana, learning life together outside of a city, through parties, laughter, duty exercises, and developing a great friendship and a lifelong brotherhood.
Calvin Patterson
Groomsman
Hello Everyone, I am Calvin. Brothers 4 life. Same father. Different mothers. I was the bad one, he was the good one. I love that my brother always has a positive outlook. Even though I'm the eldest, he has taught me some things. When we were young, I always wanted to be around my brother. When I was old enough, I caught the 77 Bus every weekend to see my little brother. Now he’s “Detective KJP”! Kevin is the go-to when I need positive vibes. Watching Kevin’s evolution to the men he is today, as well as his accomplishments and success, has been amazing. Love your big bro, Calvin Jr.
Terrance Gawith
Groomsman
I’m Terrance Gawith. Just a kid from Kansas, so you know I’m white trash. I met Kevin while we both served in the military. I knew from the moment I said something offensive to him, we would be friends. Kevin’s smile and personality always shine through, and even when the stuff stunk to the highest of heavens, Kevin found ways to smile and be cheery. Man, I hate him for it. Stop being so cheery! Very Respectfully (to the Mrs.), Terrance
Miguel Gonzales
Groomsman
Hi! I’m Miguel. I was born and raised in Miami, FL. After I was abandoned by my parents at the age of 6, I was forced to focus on raising myself in the streets…. Just kidding! I first met Kevin when we were in the first grade at Buena Vista Elementary in Wynwood. Our friendship has grown so much since those days, and it seems to always have an ability to go to the next level. Our friendship is family. There’s no other way to call it. I am proud to call Kevin my brother.
Gary Cox
Best Man
Greetings, My Name is Gary Cox – the best man of the Groom. I was born and raised in Miami, FL. Growing up across the street from one another, I’ve known Kevin my whole life. We’ve always been the closets of friends, which has always been a bond, I’d say, that’s more like brothers. Growing up that close over the years, I’m proud to say I’ve watched my friend flourish into the amazing man he is today. I’m excited to see the union Kevin & Stine has set out to complete. Congratulations to such a beautiful couple & all the more blessings to you guys.
Hugh McKinney Jr.
Groomsman
I am Hugh McKinney Jr. – a brother of the Groom. I am proud to be Kevin’s brother. He is the eldest son of our mom. Throughout our years, Kevin has shown me what it means to never give up on your dreams and to work hard for what you want out of life. I wish you all the love and happiness to come to you and your future wife, Stine. Congratulations to you both! -Hugh Jr.
