Wedding Party
Renissa Newell
Maid of Honor
Shirly, you have truly taken the statement, "I am my sister's keeper!" to the maximus capacity. For that, I am forever grateful. Your growth, your humbleness, your understanding, but most importantly, your genuine support. I never knew what it felt like to lose a sibling to someone else until you express your hurt to me. It seemed so surreal. I felt what you felt and for once I could see it clearly. I vow to never dessert you in your of need. I appreciate you always supporting me in your truth even when I didn't understand it. We are locked and loaded forever and ever. I love you Reshae.

To my baby sister, I'm so proud of the responsible woman that you have developed to. Your strength and focus is true "M'powerment". Many never "truly" believe in me and witnessing you going through the same thing helps me understand how a woman at the age of 19, has the strength of a woman that much older. Being so humble and mature is hard, when you have people constantly trying to shade the natural beauty that have been bestowed upon you. I try to live a life to be a role model for you but truth be told, I admire you more than you know. I can remember holding you in my arms as a premature baby. You gazing at this young girl with so much warmth and innocence made me believe that I can make it through anything in life. I could never express my gratitude. I love you NiNi.
Joshua "Jaii" Dillon
Man of Honor
Jaii, you are one of a kind! We share many many memories. Anytime I call, you come. When I'm down, you lift me. When I'm sad, you make me smile. When I'm sleepy, you nap with me lol. I have never had a friend that can be or do what I needed at any given moment. Many try to understand why and how we became so close. They will never believed we connected by me showing out at another wedding that resulted in me being kicked out!!! Here it is years later and I am getting married!! You being next to me on one of the most important days of my life is an honor. Who would have ever thought, the guy that laughed at me, for getting kicked out of a wedding, would be the man that helped me plan my Big Day! With that being said, I wouldn't have it any other way! I love you Jaii! "Honey Honey Honey....
Janae Crummedy
Matron of Honor
Janae, I could never forget how we truly connected. I still cant believe you thought I wanted my brother lol. Even though, it started off rocky, even rocks have to settle. You are a great friend and supporter. If people would truly get to know Janae, they would understand how big of an asset you are. I love the growth that I've seen in your confidence. Taking control and charge of your happiness. Your spirit is just so grounded. I am happy I gained another sister when I met you. Thanks for always being right there when I need you. Love you Nae.
Felicia Robinson
Matron of Honor
Fe, when I met you I was nervous about getting close to you. Before you panic as you always do, read me out. I was nervous because I could see that you don't know your limits. I saw that you are a helper, a fixer, a do it all by myself, and the one that scared me the most, you were a giver before you would receive anything. Then, I had to sit back and think... Drake, you are the same way!! I could relate to being used, and over worked. I was familiar with taking on others problems and stress. I was accustomed to fixing everything. And as time progressed, I embraced our friendship and learned that having an equal around is a plus. I could never repay you for the sacrifices and things you have done for me. I am happy to have you. Love you Fe!
Cassandra Brinson
Maid of Honor
Sissy San! I am teary eyed just thinking about our journey as sisters. I remember meeting you through Kisha. I have never met someone so genuine. You never complained. Everything you received, you were grateful. The smallest things makes you the happiest. I will never forget when you met my family. My family adored you and your children like we were blood related. Watching our children grow up and some off to college is refreshing. It lets me know that we have supported each other for many years. If I could have chosen another sister, I would ask God to honor my desire to have you as my sister. You have never left me even when I didn't deserve your faithfulness. Even, when I go mute, you keep it cute and welcome me back like I never left. For that I could never repay you! Love you sis!
Kisha Brinson
Maid of Honor
Sis! I was drawn to you by your talent as an excellent stylist! Meeting you through Bounchie was a blessing. You believed in me and allowed me to support you instantly. You took the responsibility of protecting me like I was your real sister. You taught me how to be tough and aggressive. You taught me that nobody gone treat you like you treat them so do what you want. You would come across so mean but it took me to now to understand why. When you start to elevate in life, everybody isn't happy and can't go. It's ok to be selfish for the betterment of you and yours. Although, I could strangle you for being so stubborn, I realize that was your way of hiding your vulnerability of being a crybaby! lol The tears of joy at the engagement showed me your true love for me. Love you Kisha B!
Shaborah "Chardae" Hart
Matron of Honor
You deserve so much more than a paragraph. There is never a moment that I'm aware of that you have never supported me or didn't desire to be my biggest fan. From a fat baby and running behind yo mama like she was a Hollywood stylist and the dopest on earth, to being a proud sister of all of your accomplishments. Watching you grow from one point to being the foundation of positivity for so many people just warms my heart. Being a wonderful mother of 3, one of the best Bakers in the world, and a strong supportive wife. God blessed you with everything you need to reap the harvest of Heaven. I always knew the connection we have would always remain the same. Over the years it just gets better and better! BoBo, I could never write it all. Thank you for always being there for me! Love You Sis!

Salt and Pepper is here!!! Girl! we have been a duo for many years. God surely know how to connect his vessels! Even when I don't line up, we spiritually connect. I can call you and tell you something and it surface. You allowed me to encourage you to walk in your truth and look at you now. My songbird is using her gift right where it belong. Your courage to stand on his word and your boldness to represent him is nobility at its finest. You walk like you have joy of Lord on your side. You motivate me to be everything I desire to be and more. Many nights we have talked, cried, laughed, danced, preached, and much more. I could never forget you singing at church and mad at me the whole time and not trusting that voice! But God! Thanks for accepting me as your Sis! Love you Punkin!!!

Whitney Walker! Can’t get too deep here but I know it’s understood the growth between the 2 of us. You are truly an example of how people can get it wrong by the cover. Inside of your book of life tells a a great story. It reads how caring, genuine, honest, loyal, selfless, sacrificial, and just the epitome of a phenomenal woman! We have shared many tears and and many smiles but the best part is the miles we will travel together as family and not just as a friend! Love you King Whit!! My sister is a lucky one to have you by her side and for that I thank you for loving her and loving me!

The joy that you bring my brother makes me instantly love you just that much more. No girl ever thinks their brother will find that perfect lady.

LaTrisa Washington
Bridesmaid
Latrisa, You mean the world to me. No matter when I have ever needed you , you’ve been there. You have never told me what I wanted to hear but always told me what I needed to know. Your strength, your admiration, your dedication to your children, the commitment you made to your husband motivated me to believe that one day Duck that would be you. I can remember when we went on our senior trip! Me, you, Kinah, and your grandma. That was the best time of my life and I was quickly introduced to an outside world other than little bitty old Tylertown Mississippi. I can go on and on and on about how awesome you are as a friend but I would rather just continue to show you and be a better friend for the rest of our days I love you Trick! Thank you so much for spending my special day with me.
