Matron of Honor
Whitneys best friend. Wendolyn has been there with Whitney from the beginning. The first one she shared with, laughed with, cried with, and even fought with (when they were kids lol), but their bond has become stronger each year that passes by. There is no better person to be in this position, right next to Whitney when she says I do. Meet the matron of honor.
Maid of Honor
Wellsley is Whitneys youngest sister but also one of her best friends. Whitney likes to call her the mini me. Although they are 8 years apart, that has never been a barrier or a hindrance to the growth and love in their wonderful sister relationship. Whitney couldn't have chosen a better person to be her maid of honor.
Matron of Honor
Whitney personally met Katina about 10 years ago while being a member at one of the local churches here in Toledo, Ohio. Initially they began bonding through the music ministry as they both have a love of worship and song. However, that bond grew into a wonderful friendship! Whitney doesnt use the word "best friend" lightly, but Katina is truly her best friend! What a wonderful journey this has been. Whitney is so glad to be able to call her another one of her matrons of honor :)
Bridesmaid
Whitney met Dominica about five years ago in Columbus, Ohio. When she attended Grace Apostolic Dominica's husband randomly came up to her and said, "I think you should meet my wife!!!" Since then, Whitney and Doninica grew closer and closer and became friends effortlessly! So, lets thank Dominicas husband for their connection!! Dominica is the sweetest, most loving person Whitney knows! They’ve always shared the sentiments of having a friendship that just isn't difficult lol. Whitney is so happy that they crossed paths and continue to be wonderful friends! Shes so excited Dominica has accepted her asking of being one of her bridesmaids.
Bridesmaid
Whitney’s future sister-in-law! Shantela is just so sweet, loving and caring! When Whitney visited Aaron in Chicago Shantela was one of the first family members she met, she and her husband! But she welcomed Whitney with open arms and made her feel like family even before Aaron and Whitney were engaged! Shantela is a new addition in Whitneys life, and sh is excited to continue building their sister relationship! Whitney has always wanted a big sister and now can have one!! (one of them) Whitney is elated that Shantela has accepted to be one of her bridesmaids!
Best Man
Elliot bka EJ is the sibling that is closest in age to Aaron. They are very much alike, but yet very different. Some even say that they are twins born 12 years apart. The bulk of Aaron's personality is due to Aaron having spent so much time during childhood & teenage years. Wherever you saw EJ, you pretty much saw Aaron tagging along.
Groomsman
Lawrence is one of Aarons friends of 20 plus years. They met in the Summer of 2001 when they both joined the marching band at Hillcrest High School in Country Club Hills. Aaron credits Lawrence as always being one of his true A1 Day 1's. What started off as a friendship through music, turned into a brotherly bond that remains rock solid til this day!
Groomsman
Lorenz is another one of Aarons friends of 20 plus years. They also met when Aaron joined the Marching band at Hillcrest in 2001 when Lorenz was section leader of the Drum line. There's bound to be plenty of laughter and jokes whenever Aaron and Lorenz are in the same room. Very similarly to Aaron's bond with Lawrence, what started as a friendship through music, turned into a brotherly bond. Lorenz is one of Aarons brothers.
Groomsman
Marcus & Aaron's friendship began in the fall of 2015 when Aaron was hired to play the drums for The Life Church Outreach Ministry. Their friendship through music grew into a brotherhood that stands strong until this day. Some may even compare their friendship to the liking of Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen when they were winning championships for the Bulls (we'll let you figure out who is who lol). They push each other, hold each other accountable & even sometimes competitively bump heads. That's just what winners do!
Groomsman
Waynard Jr. Is the youngest sibling of the bride, and her only brother. Waynard holds a special place in Whitney’s heart, and has always been the spoiled one lol! Whitney was elated when Aaron agreed to allow Waynard to be a groomsmen. If not Whitney would have allowed him to join on the other side lol (with a suit on of course)!
