Michael & Monifa
Wedding Party
Sandrene Smith
Matron of Honor
I could write a book about my BFF, my sista from another mista. My ride or die. Be so careful what you say or do to me. She don't play . You have been warned. Lol. Who knew the day we met at a nail salon approximately 10+ years ago, our bond would become unbreakable. There are no words to express how much she means to me. She is sent from heaven...Sandrene is loyal, faithful, loving, generous, considerate, thoughtful, and gracious. She is so unselfish and I am so ever grateful and appreciative she is my bestie. This spicy Jamaican gal is my everything. Don't let her start talking in Patois. You better watch out. I know without a shadow of a doubt she has my best interest at heart and is doesn't hurt that she is the Best Carribean Chef of all time!!! #LoveMySis!
Michele Wright
Maid of Honor
Wowzers! This girly is also my best friend and my soul sister. She tried to assist me (wink Michele) when we met in TGIF restaurant on her summer visit to Maryland from Phoenix, AZ. Her true nature of being an awesome loving generous person instantly connected with mine. We soon discovered that our "not so random" introduction blossomed into a life long friendship!

Wanda Rivers

Wanda is my cousin from New York. She was my childhood partner in crime. On my summer visits to Manhattan, she was my hanging partner. As we became adults and parents, we both were so much alike that we bought our sons the same outfits in different states. Lol. She's the glue that keeps the family together, and to this day she supports us all!
Tracy Rivers
Bridesmaid
This is my fun-loving cousin! The first born of our generation....She is always the life of the party and you will always catch her smiling, laughing, and dancing anywhere, anytime, any beat. Lol.

Wowzers! Angie is the bride's cousin. She is an entrepreneur and a force to be reckoned with. This lady is a very spiritual woman who operates with foundational ground-breaking truths. She is a financial analyst and a woman of integrity. You can always find her supporting her family, church, and community. I look up to my cousin with all she offers this world. She has many uplifting projects including that of an author. She loves people and loves life!
Charles Stewart
Best Man
Chuck and I have been close friends/bros for approximately 20 years now. We met at our place of employment in the Baltimore County Correctional Facility, where we soon discovered we both shared the same thirst for knowledge in principles of conscious living. Throughout the years, we have been there for each other during the good, the bad, and the ugly. Besides Chuck being an intelligent seeker of wisdom, he is a loving family man and an excellent father. We both chuckle at the thought that I said I wouldn't get married again, but YES I AM and gladly! Lol

Mike's brother Tyrone is a kid @ heart as he loves comics. He is very charismatic, generous, and very humorous. He has a big heart and has always been a great support for my children, his niece and nephew. He is a great friend, a great uncle, a great little brother, and now a great father! I am glad to have him by my side on my big day.

Wowzers! There are no words that can express how amazing my son is. Not only is he a scholar athlete at James Madison University, but he is also a Community Outreach coordinator for his fraternity (By the ceremony, he will have obtained his bachelor's degree). I am so proud of the man he has become. Jahee is loving, kind, generous, thoughtful, and hilarious. He is a joy to be around and always has a special way of showing his genuine love and concern. He came into this world joyous with laugher and to this day, he is truly delightful.

I can't put into words what this means to me.

Adrian is a hard-worker and is extremely focused. This super intelligent young man is also an amazing singer. He always goes for what he wants and has been able to acquire many accomplishments at a young age. His personality is out of this world, and he is awesome to be around.

Mikal is definitely our brother from another mother! He is kind, supportive, loving, helpful, and a protector! I enjoy watching him entertain children with his excellent puppet shows. He is also our business partner and we enjoy watching him glow with excitement over future business endeavors. He unselfishly looks out for us all.

I keep asking him to stop cutting me, because he stays sharp!!! #BestDressedAward Lol #CoalitionFam

This boy (if I can even say that) has been here before. This little king is a well-versed orator. He can hold a fluent conversation with the best of us. He has shared his observations of adults that will blow you away. Lol, and he is so on point. He is already more honest, and has more integrity than many I know. He is such a loving spirit with his smiles and hugs and words of encouragement. He is also a very spiritual being with many words of knowledge to impact in an amazing way. World get ready for this one!!!!!!
