VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Best Wedding Party Ever

Meet our family and friends who are walking down the aisle with us. These folks have made our lives more interesting and there was no way we'd get married without them by our side.

Detreece W.

Maid of Honor

This has lady has been my true ride or die since we were 7 years old. I love her and absolutely adore EVERYTHING about her. She has a genuine spirit and is definitely the calm to my storm. We couldn't be any more different from each other, yet we are two peas in a pod. She has been there to witness this relationship from the beginning and has done nothing but encouraged us. The love and support she has always given me and my kids is unmatched and very much appreciated. There is nothing I wouldn't do for her, and I know when it comes to making my day special, there is nothing she won't do for me.

Sharita M.

Matron of Honor

Sharita has been one of my best friends since 7th grade. I remember she sat down in science class and I turned around and said, "So what's your name" and talked her ear off the entire class. This girl thought I was crazy!! Anyway, we have went through our ENTIRE FRIENDSHIP never having one fall out. Sharita has truly supported me through everything from childhood to adulthood. I couldn't imagine getting married without her by side. This one chick I'm willing to go to war for NO QUESTIONS ASKED! She has always been 10 toes down for me and it will never be any other way.

Zale S.

Bridesmaid

I normally don't make new friends HOWEVER, this lady is one of a kind. My girls love Ms. Zale aka Best friend and Lem and I adore her. Everyone needs a friend like Zale; she will tell you the truth no matter what, and will definitely let you know when you're wrong. I can always call her and she is there for me no questions asked, no judgment passed. She always reminds me, "Friend you are so crazy but I love it" From day one of my relationship with Lemmie, Zale has always supported me and always reminds me, "Girl that man loves you stop tripping and getting on his nerves, because there is nothing out here." I hold our relationship close to my heart and I'm so glad she is going to be by my side that day, telling me "GIRL STOP TRIPPING"

Leslie H.

Bridesmaid

I've known Leslie since middle school, we started off as friends, and then by high school she hated me lol (I'm sure she will say it's the other way around). Anyway, years passed and I ended up reconnecting with her through her son's basketball team. Outside of sharing the same birthday, I found out that we have so much in common. She is one of the most caring, hard-working, fashionable women I know. Not to mention she's an awesome mother! Leslie is the friend I have to ask, "Do I have to put on real clothes?" She will meet you at Denny's dolled up and I'm looking like a bum lol. My love for this young lady runs deep, she has encouraged me and prayed for me. I'm so glad I didn't let a petty beef from high school keep me from having a lifelong friend.

Eriana W.

Bridesmaid

Where do I start? I have known her my entire life, after all she's my cousin. This lady has always encouraged me and made sure I'm nice to others. I'm so proud of the woman she's become. Eriana is one of the most humble, organized, sweetest people I know. An amazing mother and my personal go to Nurse. She always reminds me to, "Do whatever you feel is right for you, and don't worry about what anyone else has to say." She's never failed to call me out when I'm wrong and in the same sentence will tell me, "I still love you, but you getting on my nerves" Having someone in your life that checks you when you're wrong and still encourages you to pray is AMAZING. I couldn't imagine this day without her. Eriana, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Thanks for always loving me for me.

Raylen S.

Bridesmaid

I remember when my aunt called me and said, "There's this young lady that I know she goes to school there, can she go to church with you?" I actually didn't have plans to go to church that day, however, I went. I picked her up from her dorm and to church we went. From that day on she's been stuck with us. Raylen is the hardest working young lady I know. Although I'm older, I've learned so much from her about life and the value of hard-work. Raylen has jokes for days and is always down for me and my family shenanigans (except during mid-terms and finals). There was no way I was getting married and not having my favorite "little cousin" by my side. I'm so glad I decided to go to church that day or else we would've never met.

Naliea M.

Bridesmaid

My oldest child and my go to for EVERYTHING! I literally grew up with Naliea. I was so scared when I found out I was pregnant with her at 18, I didn't know what to do. I'm so blessed to say that she hasn't given me any major trouble (outside of wearing my clothes and harassing me about learning how to drive). She has a smile that will light up any room and a heart of gold. Naliea is the best big sister to everyone and makes sure she keeps her bonus brothers on their toes. She makes sure that EVERYTHING gets done, but she moves so slow lol. I adore Naliea and everything about her and I'm so glad God blessed me with her as my daughter. Just know she has reminded Lemmie and I that this is HER WEDDING TOO! So make sure you congratulate her on the big day lol.

Gracie G.

Bridesmaid

I have known this lady since Naliea started school. Gracie became my "4th daughter" after Naliea invited her over for a sleep-over in kindergarten, and she ended up staying for a week lol. I often go places and people say, "Where's Gracie" I have to constantly remind people, "You do know she has a mother and family right?" Gracie has grown into a very mature and responsible young lady. She is always so friendly to everyone she crosses paths with. Her relationship with all of my daughters and bonus sons is very genuine, there was no way I was getting married without her. Gracie will always be "my favorite bonus girl".

Aariona

Jr. Bridesmaid

THE DIVA!! Aariona marches to the beat of her own drum. However, when it came to this relationship with Lem, I wasn't sure if she would adapt to me giving my time and attention to someone else. Aariona made sure that her Lemmie Bear was well aware she was around. Aariona makes sure that no matter what I'm good. There were many days when I didn't know how I was going to make it; and she made sure to just come lay next to me and provide me with a sense of peace. Right, Wrong, or Indifferent, Aariona is 10 toes behind me and her sisters, NO MATTER WHAT! This whole wedding process she has been by both our sides making sure, "We didn't mess up her wedding lol" I love the fact that my daughter is always true to herself no matter what. I thank God for this spunky spirit everyday!!

Aryn Lynn

Jr. Bridesmaid

My baby, my sweet heart, my kindred spirit. This girl is most caring, creative, joyful little girl I know. Although she's taller than me, she is my baby. She welcomed this relationship with Lem and I with open arms. I will always appreciate that from her. Aryn Lynn always reminds our household, to just be kind to others. Even when things aren't perfect for her, she always finds it in her heart to give to others. She's a true scholar in school and since kindergarten she has always had straight A's. Aryn is the glue that holds this family together when everything is crazy. I've learned to slow down and be nicer to everyone because of her. I'm so thankful God blessed me with Aryn as my daughter.

Skylar P.

Flower Girl

This little lady is ray of sunshine!! She has the brightest smile and is always down for a good dance battle. She is so sweet and always ready to strike a pose. We can't to see our little ladybug on the big day!

Jolivia R.

Flower Girl

This little lady has a very big personality!! Always ready for a dance battle and is not afraid to let you know what's on her mind. I call her my little jelly bean and she's the groom's Pumpkin. This little girl will surely make the day interesting and will be ready to strike a pose!

Chyna

Flower Girl

This little lady right her is a ball of fire!!! She has the biggest personality and is everyone's BEST FRIEND. She has jokes for days and knows every song that comes on the radio lol (I call her my personal Juke Box). Always ready for a dance battle and sing-a-long. I can't wait to see her put on a show the day of the wedding!! Y'all say hello to my little friend Ms. Chyna!!!
