Brothers . . .
Groomsman
I am not as fancy as Miriam, and I do not have a million pictures to post up here, but I figure ya'll know how you look so... I am grateful and appreciative of the time, energy, money and effort it takes to be a part of our wedding day. Miriam and I are truly blessed to have you all around us, not just for that day, but all the time! Thank you Danny, John, Joseph, Mykie, Jack, Mina, J Daddy, Remo, Mo, Skat, David, & Jr. Miriam told me early on in our relationship that she is very close to her family & has many cousins and is very close to her brother. I thought that's cool, and did not think much of it. Now that I am here, experiencing these bonds for myself, I can feel the love and I am honored to be a part of it. God has truly blessed me. I will learn all your names one day lol
