I have had the great fortune of knowing Ayo, a.k.a Mr. Passionate for many years now. We met in 98, and he has been an amazing friend and brother ever since. Ayo has been a blessing to many, and my prayer is that God will bless him and his Queen to be, as they get ready to embark on life’s journey together.

Ayo and I became friends the night we mwt in Midland, MI. The trash talk hasn't stopped, nor have the deep conversations about God's plan for us, how to lead more effectively, and how to build businesses that allow us to do more for the kingdom. His friendship saved my life. Any time we are together we pick up where we left off; him losing at ay competition and me helping to dry his tears (I'm kidding). I wouldn't trade that friendship for anything.

I have known Ayo a.k.a. Darkness for about 20 years and I couldn't be more happier for him as he embarks on this new journey. From our 'Worship Warriors' days till today, there is never a dull moment when we get together. I am glad him and Marsha are tieing the knot! I can't wait to witness this beautiful marriage and I pray God blesses your union. Proud of you bro!

I met Ayo at an event for Young Christian Adults in Midland, MI. Our friendship grew quickly over the last 5yrs as we found common interests through traveling, camping, salsa dancing, movies, sports, board games, men's bible study, and starting a Young Adults Night event (YAN)!

Ayo and Marsha embodies REAL Love; a LOVE that is selfless, giving, intentional, and always desiring to serve each other and those around them. They are passionate about living life full of adventure, lots of laughter, and exploring new things together. They are deeply committed to growing in their relationship with Christ and pursuing God's plans for their lives. It is evident that Jesus remains the center of their relationship. Ayo and Marsha are God's gift to us all, and I'm honored to be a part of their union.

"If I had one word to describe our relationship it would be - "versatile." At one moment Ayo and I could throw a make-believe concert outside in the middle of the night with the car stereo blasting, and performing for no one but our other loser-friends, (Hurrican Ike, haha). At another moment we could go 60 feet deep into the scripture and prayer to understand what it means to walk closer with our Creator. There is never a dull moment with Ayo, and there never will be. He is my brother for life. I love him and there's nothing he can do about it! Proverbs 17:17, Proverbs 27:17, Hebrews 13:1. -P.S. Daryl Coley is the greatest male vocalist to ever walk this earth! (don't leave this part out)

My LB and Link! The originators of the nights of a thousand laughs and consistent foolishness in any conversation. Although we don't get to talk as much we never miss a beat. We've known each other since 2007 and have been brothers all the way ever since. All I can say is...the Nigerian Wonder Boy strikes again!
Jose Acosta
Groomsman
My name is Jose, and I would like share a few things about Ayo. Ayo and I met sometime back after God told Adam and Eve "go forth and multiply". He has been such an amazing friend, an awesome brother in Christ, and my roommate! I look up to this guy as an older brother, and love him as one too. It brings me joy seeing Ayo and Marsha spend great quality time together, laughing hysterically at each other's inside jokes, and watching them be patient with Caroline. Ayo has always been there for me, and I can't wait to be there for him as he and Marsha join together in marriage. I am so blessed to have such a humble friend, and super excited for him and Marsha.

Maid of Honor
I knew I loved Marsha the moment I laid eyes on her. My sister and my closest friend from the time she came out of the womb until now. 34 years later and she's still one of my favorite people in the world!
Al'eena Booker
Maid of Honor
Marsha and I have a simple friendship. Laughing until our stomachs hurt, using movie quotes as our form of communication, and having an intuition and understanding of each other that only a best friend could have. It is a friendship that Disney movies are made of, except we live it in real life. That's US!
Amanda Pritchard
Bridesmaid
In pursuit of my fitness goals, I reached out to Marsha. We quickly discovered that God had much more in store for our friendship, which included fitness, fellowship, fun, support, and lot of laughing..oh and Soccer!! Our shared faith gave us room to speak truth into each others lives and for that I am forever grateful. Marsha is one of my favorite people on the planet! She is a magnificent Light to this World and an absolute JOY to be around. She reminds me of the Goodness of God. I'm so excited to be a part of this journey with her.
Erin Foster
Bridesmaid
Marsha and I met on a "blind date" through a mutual friend! We both needed roommates at the same time and ended up moving in together the following week. When Marsha walked in with her 5 inch heels and an elbow bag, I knew we were going to click. That meeting quickly turned into a deep and refreshing, six year friendship. The Lord uses Marsha in my life often as she has a gift of kindness and wisdom. She is one of my best friends and I truly treasure her friendship! Marsha was a bridesmaid in my wedding and I am honored to be sharing this incredible time with her!
Kenny Rhodes
Bridesmaid
There is only one word that describes our friendship, which is Souly. Souly is a word we made up describing how we can look at each other and know what each other is thinking deep down in our souls. We laugh at the same things, get gangsta about the same things, and flip our hair about the same things. Marsha is my soul sister for evvvvver okurrrrrr!
Tiara Young
Bridesmaid
Marsha has always been my voice of reason. Her beautiful spirit and laughter makes her amazing. She lives life to the fullest and see's the joy in every situation. I cherish our friendship and the blessing that she has been in my life.
Toyin Akindona
Bridesmaid
Marsha and I first met when my brother's (the groom) lung collapsed and she was visiting him in the hospital. I have to admit I was very protective of my brother so I was not a fan of Marsha's doting ways lol! After all these years, Marsha has been a close friend and sister to me. Can't wait for her to be my sister-in-love!
Ashley Kirkland
Bridesmaid
Ashley AK Dorsey...formerly Kirkland, hence AK met in college at Sam Houston. Both were working out in the recreation center (HKC) and became good acquaintances. Their friendship evolved and both pledged Alpha Kappa Psi, a co-ed business fraternity. With that bond to enhance their friendship, they created many memories together that would never end no matter the distance between them. Marsha stood by AK during her wedding and now the tables are turned.
Liviya Flowers

Liviya is Marsha's 2nd oldest niece! She just turned a whopping 6 years old and she is ready to take on the world with her boldness and love! Liviya likes her TT Marsha's face because its pretty and she likes that her TT is always kind to her.
Nyomi Flowers

Caroline loves her mommy and she is so grateful to be officially getting a Daddy. Coming from a single parent home was great because Mommy gave me lots of love but having a Daddy is what I never knew I needed! I'm excited that my mommy is giving me a daddy!
