Wedding Party
Ciera Brewer
Maid of Honor
My Sissy! We have been inseparable since we were in our Mother’s womb. If anyone knows me, it’s her! People think I’m the wild child, but she’s a prime example of “looks can be deceiving!” I mean, many times we got into trouble, it was mainly her fault...lol, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I wouldn’t choose anyone else to stand so closely to me on the biggest day of my life!
David Adlam
Best Man
David is my right hand man. In college, I chose him as my "little" brother (something like a mentee) in our business fraternity but over the years, we've become real brothers. I can call for help with minimal details and he'll show up to assist however he can. David has been present during every high and low in the past decade and I'm honored to have him as my best man. I can hear him now at the ceremony: (Keke walking down the aisle) Him: OK KeeKeeeee! My boy you did good! Me: Chill bruh... Him: Man shut up and wipe your eyes HA!
Asia Johnson
Bridesmaid
“Go best friend, that’s my best friend!” Asia has been in my life since elementary!!! So yeah, we’re more than friends at this point. When my sister and I got into trouble when we were younger, Asia was there to get us out (but those are stories for another day)! She is one of me and Chan’s most vocal supporters and we love her for that! As a matter of fact, she just sent us a countdown update to our phones! Lol.
Brandon Maybry
Groomsman
Some people don’t know I (Kiera) have an older brother but once you see us together you’ll see the resemblance is very strong! My brother is the same as me, he can be quiet and shy but also outgoing. Having him there to witness the union of Chan and myself is one I’ll cherish. If you know him, you know this is out of his comfort zone (as I said he can be shy), so be sure to pull him out on the floor for a dance or two (he’s going to kill me later. Haha).
Jabrittny Harrison
Bridesmaid
Brittny is my oldest first cousin, my sidekick since childhood, and my dancing partner (so watch out for her at the reception). I have watched her grow into a beautiful woman and loving mother to the most handsome little boy (who is also my God son). So not having her beside me at my wedding was not an option!
Donte "LaDale" Lane
Groomsman
Donte and I have been friends since high school. He is one of the most genuine people I know. I never know what he'll say but I do know he doesn't intend to offend so we talk with no filter. He's the friend that we can roast each other and get personal but if anyone else laughs too hard or repeats the joke, we stop and roast them.
Jasmyn Patmon
Bridesmaid
Superwoman is what my line sisters and I call her (trust me, she so deservingly earned the name, haha)! Needless to say, we met in college were we pledged Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; she was the tail of our line and she’s had my back ever since, literally! If you don’t know Jas, get to know her! She’s the type of person that’s good to have around!
Fisayo "Zeke" Kolajo
Groomsman
Fisayo is one of my oldest friends. We went to elementary and middle school together until he moved away. When he moved to Atlanta to earn his master's at GA Tech, we reconnected and have been cool ever since. He's the friend that is always down for an adventure: skydiving, skiing, road trip...basically anything that doesn't involve swimming. He's the lowkey comedian that catches the humor in everything and has you rolling off quick one liners.
Jasmyne Thornton
Bridesmaid
Jaz and I went to the same high school (we were both on the step team) but I didn’t really get to know who she was until I started dating Chan (they’re best friends). During the time we reconnected, I realized how supportive she is and understood just how big her heart is! I’m grateful to have someone with such a pure heart stand beside me on that special day.
Lucius Troutman
Groomsman
LJ has been my brother in law for over 10 years and I couldn't have asked for a better one. He sets a great example of how to be a supportive husband and invested father. He embraces Whitnee's family as his own and has been present for all our family's milestones. He's reserved so he won't be the life of the party but will make sure the party has life. Keke and I are certain we chose a great DJ, but if he's lacking, my brother-in-law will get us right!
Symone Brown
Bridesmaid
Symone is one of my bestfriends! We have been knowing each other since high school but we became close during our college years. I even helped deliver her 4 year old daughter, Brynlie (who thinks she’s my mother)! Over the years, Symone has inspired me through her quest to become a better mother and woman overall, and for that I am eternally grateful.
Matt Williams
Groomsman
Matthew Williams - The Conversationalist. Matt is the type that will never meet a stranger. If he's at a restaurant, he's going to turn surface level talk into a meaningful conversation, find out their hopes and dreams then encourage them to be the best version of themselves before the server brings the water. I’m sure you’ll see him working the room during the reception and giving motivational speeches as toasts.
Whitnee Troutman
Bridesmaid
My soon to be sister-in-law! I have always known Whitnee to be a quiet and shy type of person but over the past few years I have gotten to know her a little better and let’s just say she likes to have a good time as well! I mean, I could laugh at her comments and facial expressions all day! Besides her bubbly personality, she also has a heart of gold and I look forward to becoming her sissy!
Mike Kendall
Groomsman
Mike aka "Cuz" aka "Scary Barry" and I grew up involved in a lot of the same activities. We were neighbors too so once we got our license, we took turns cranking up "Goldie" or "The Yak" and hitting the mean streets of LaGrange Saturday night then church Sunday morning. We’re older now so we can’t hang like we used to but I think we run it back for old time’s sake...if you aren’t too scary. HA!
Christian Cooper
Hostesses
You ever had a personal hype man? No? Well Crickett is literally my/our (Chan and I) hype man! So if I have a little extra pep in my step walking down the aisle, she probably just told me I look better than Beyoncé! We were dance/step teammates, so I’ve been loving her for a long time!! I can tell you stories about her being a “ride or die” but I wont! Just know she’s the definition of a real friend and I love her for that!!
Justianna Harrison
Hostesses
My other twin and youngest (female) first cousin! When Justianna was a baby, everyone always said we looked just alike; probably because she was attached to my hip. Now she likes to argue with me as if she’s the older cousin! Lol. Even though she’s my little cousin, she’s always good for a fun time so I can’t wait to party the night away like old times with my Minnie me!
Amad Ogletree
Usher
Amad is my (Kiera) CRAZY little cousin! He makes me laugh just by saying “hey!” I can’t tell you how many times he’s called for help with homework that’s due the next day, but we (I) managed to get it done!! Lol. Just to think, we were just babies and now he’s going to be apart of my wedding day! He may be getting older, but he’ll always be my sweet little cousin!
Jordan Ogletree
Usher
The gentle giant, literally! He is as tall as Shaquille O’Neal, but the sweetest young man you’ll ever meet! He’s going to make some lady a very happy bride someday but for now I’m just happy to have him by my side (Kiera) on my big day!
Jared Young
Usher
Jared is my cousin on my mom's side. We're 5 years apart. Growing up, that was a major gap but once he graduated high school and moved to Atlanta, we got close and made up for all the years we were distant. Whether it's an evening hike on Stone Mountain, last minute trip to Six Flags, or random weekend outing - cuz is always down!
Varik Winston
Usher
Varik is my cousin on my dad's side. The best way I can describe him is "just a laid back, cool dude." I'm glad to have him in the wedding and know that even though they'll all be wearing the same tux, i know cuz will add some 'drip' to the pics.
London Bailey
Flower Girl
My beautiful little cousin! Funny story, I told her she had to audition to be in my wedding and let me tell you - she walked down the back yard like it was a runway! This sassy diva will be sure to turn heads as she’s dropping petals down the isle.
Braylen Maybry
Ring Security
He loves his Aunty Keke and I love him! Bray Bray has been telling my parents that I have a boyfriend (trying to get me in trouble) for the past year, so you could imagine how fast he went to tell his g-ma that I was getting married! Haha. Nevertheless, he loves his uncle Chan (Chan won him over by buying what Bray calls his “black character toy”- black panther if you didn’t get it) and can’t wait to walk down he aisle.
Lucius A. Troutman
Ring Security
In my unbiased opinion, Lou is one of the smartest kids you'll meet. He's talented, intelligent, and witty. He's one of the most polite kids you'll meet unless you're trying to clown his Uncle Chan then he'll roast you and be ready to fight (I'm the same way about him). And, once it sets in that it's Aunty Keke, I'm sure he'll be the same way about her.
Midas Cato
Ring Security
My sweet sweet Godson! Who knows where he will end up while walking down the aisle?! I’m just hoping he actually walks all the way down the aisle because if you know Midas, you know he’s a walker but he doesn’t like to walk in the direction that you take him. Lol, so when you see him, just casually guide him down.
Derwin and Janice Brewer
Father/Mother of the Bride
My mama and daddy!!!! I could go on and on and on and on but I don’t have that much space! Lol, so I’ll keep it short. They have provided my sister and I with everything we could have ever wanted AND needed, and for that I’m eternally grateful! I could never repay them so I try to do so by being the best version of myself that they raised. Not to toot my own horn, but moreso to toot theirs, they outdid themselves raising me! Haha, and to celebrate we’re partying ALL night long the night of the wedding, but I don’t have to tell y’all that now do I?!
Wayne and Patricia Pittman
Father and Mother of the Groom
(Read it with a southern accent so it rhymes) "Pat and Wayne, you did your thing!" I've always respected my parents but it wasn't until I became an adult myself that the admiration set in. They've always functioned as one unit but made sure to encourage each other's personal goals too. I consider it a privilege to know what a real marriage filled with love, compromise, support, and loyalty looks like because I've witnessed it my entire life.
