Morenda PierreMorenda Pierre

Bridesmaid

Hello, my name is Morenda, and I have the joy of calling myself a friend and sister of the beautiful bride. When we first met in 2023, she was quiet, reserved, and kept mostly to herself. But over time, something special unfolded. What started as a simple friendship blossomed into a deep bond that feels more like family. Like all sisters, we’ve had our moments, but those bumps in the road only brought us closer. My heart is full as I look forward to witnessing this incredible chapter in her life. Watching her begin this journey of love and commitment is truly an honor.

Hi everyone, I’m Patricia, and I’m so honored to call myself a friend of the beautiful bride. From the moment we met, she’s been such a light in my life—graceful, humble, vibrant, and full of love. She has this incredible way of making everyone around her feel special, seen, and valued. And through the years, our friendship has been one of the most precious gifts I’ve ever received. Watching her step into this new chapter, with someone who clearly cherishes her so deeply, fills my heart with joy. I feel truly blessed to be by her side, to celebrate this beautiful beginning. I’ll forever treasure our bond, and I can’t wait to see all the love and happiness that awaits her in this next chapter.

Bridesmaid

Hi, my name is Neissa, and I’m proud to say I’m Kristian’s very first church friend. I literally had to catch her at the door one Sunday when she was visiting — you’d have thought she was in a track meet with how fast she used to leave! But in all seriousness, that’s my girl. I absolutely adore her. She’s beautiful inside and out, and I’m truly blessed and honored not only to know her, but to also be part of her wedding party. Here’s to the bride — and the best future wife to be! I love you, Kristian. Now let’s get you married!

Hi I’m Allesun, Kristian and I have been friends for about 7 years. We met while working at La Petite Academy. She has become one of my closest friends my best friend. We share many great memories together. Any time we get together it’s always full of laughter and smiles. We might take daysss to txt each other back but we always pick up where we left off. One of the greatest gift is having a friend like Kristian who loves my kids as her own. I love the bond that each of my children share with her. I’m truly honored to be apart of her special day.

“I met Kristian when she quite literally ran into me — roller skated, rather. The poor thing hardly knew how to put one foot in front of the other and next thing I know, this young lady was skating straight toward me fumbling and what not about to eat that hardwood floor when I reached out and stopped her from falling (even though she almost took me down with her.) Since she ran into my arms that faithful day at the youth convention, she’s never left me alone and we’ve been rolling together ever since🤎.”

Alexis MiddlebrooksAlexis Middlebrooks

Bridesmaid

Hey there! My name is Alexis Middlebrooks, but Kristian calls me Alexicans. Haha! Please don’t ask why because I don’t know! To be honest, Kristian’s fiancée and I were friends first before Kristian and I. Dontay actually recommended we should be friends. Kristian and I would hug each other crossing paths and keep it cute before we actually conversed. Chilee Kristian kind of played hard to get with me, and in the beginning of our friendship, she would say things like, “I’m such a bad texter.” Now, I can’t seem to get that girl to stop texting me. Haha! She’s my boo, aka Butterbean!!!!! The laughs down to the serious moments we share are everything! To be honest, I never knew how pleasant it would be to call her friend. If I could describe our friendship, I would say it’s like a friendship I never knew I needed until it was established! What’s understood doesn’t have to be explained! Love youuuuuuuuuu, Butterbean !!!

Emanuel WilliamsEmanuel Williams

Groomsman

Hey 👋🏽 everybody! I am excited to be part of this wonderful union! Most of my life has been spent in Baxley, GA where I was born and raised. After graduating from Fort Valley State University, there was a 10 year layover in Nebraska. God made a way for me to come back home where currently I farm and work in agriculture. COGTB is my church and it’s the place that Dontay and I crossed paths. We’ve chopped up some great discussions, shared farming goals, debated hunting strategies, and shoot, Dontay even almost out-fished me one day :) “Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.”
