Joshua & Brittany
Wedding Party
Chantal Richie
Matron of Honor
Well, we've known each other our entire lives. Did i mention I've maintain the belief that God had her be born in the same family because he knew I'd need a real life guardian angel. She's my rock, my best friend, my trusted advisor, the best auntie ever and a woman I'm privileged to know and love.
Charles Richie
Best Man
Someone you can count on, someone you can trust. Charles is consistently that for me. Far more than a friend, you are my brother. In the most funniest way this bond started and we’ve been kickin’ it ever since. Those of you that know Charles and I, we can talk for days. I’ll save that for a book later, however, I will say this: Like David and Jonathan our bond is strong and with God at the center our brotherhood will last forever.
Naomi Ignas
Bridesmaid
We've been in each other's lives almost a decade now and boooy have we been through it! The highs, lows, good, bad, but always hand in hand to pray for each other, correct when needed, sing at the top of our lungs, worship together, or eat at a restaurant really late at night. She's the yin to my yang and we always relish in the memory of our debit cards getting swapped at dinner because she is assumed to be Brittany Moncrease and me Naomi (formerly) Brown.
Stevie Viel II
Groomsman
Another brother of mine that helped me become the man I am today. One of the biggest transitions of my life was joining the military. Stevie picked me up from Charles and Chantal’s apartment in Hawaii and dropped me off at the airport hotel to start my career. Never would’ve thought that while I was away from home I would rely on him the most. Speaking of being away from home, oh it was rough but God placed Stevie and his family in Texas so that whenever I felt/feel a little, ok a lottle homesick on Holidays I could go there. Thank you Stevie for simply being there. By the way the picture shown is the face we used to give when my grandmother Mimi used to catch us as babies touching her vases by the tv. Smh couldn’t do nothing in that house but eat and sleep.
Rebekah McKoy
Bridesmaid
We all need that friend who is just easy to be with. That's my Bekah. It's been that way since we were kids. Great adventure buddy, humble, kind, patient, with the most beautiful zeal for life. We share a love of music, have written songs together, have laughed and cried together, and always reconnect like we never left. I can't imagine my life without you!
Joshua Mckoy
Groomsman
Growing up the McKoy family has been a constant in our family’s life. They used to take me and my brother Jeremiah to Hanalani School with Joshua and his brother Jonathan. The champagne colored Volvo is what Jeremiah and I looked forward to the most. They had a seat that faced the opposite direction, still going in the same direction, but in a different way. Never seen anything like that before in my life. That is a microcosm of who Joshua is to me. If everyone is going in one direction to a destination he will find multiple ways of getting there without doing it the same way as others. Always admired the gifts he has and the ability to not only be humble but well spoken. God has placed on this Earth a team of brothers who has an amazing impact on who I am today and Joshua is one of them.
Rebecca Lisle
Bridesmaid
Although we've known each other forever, adulthood brought us together. We've spent formative years living, celebrating, growing, aspiring, falling, getting back up and enjoying life along the way. Thanks for being a sounding board, place to crash, place to vent and incredibly loyal along the way. Can't wait till we #bossbabe together. You're my muffin! So much more fun ahead of us.
Ken Moses
Groomsman
Friends in high school, brothers for life. Every base in the states I lived at Ken was a state away. When I was in New Mexico he was in Colorado. When I was in Kansas, he was in Nebraska then got closer and lived in Missouri. If there’s one thing I can say about Ken, because he to is my brother for life, he taught me how to live. God placed him close to me wherever I was stationed at in the states and it was not by coincidence. We may differ in sports teams but, when it comes to the facts of life we have similar views. I said it during Stevie’s description and I’ll say it here being away from home was rough in the beginning. Ken gave me keys for the journey and one of those keys was to just live! Thank you Ken. This picture is just an example of what I mean when I say home away from home.
Victoria Daniels
Bridesmaid
We've really got to take more pictures together. lol It started with your family and mine riding to church together when we were munchkins, but motherhood really brought us together. You're a great mother, friend, vocalist, sassy pants, leader and partner to the end! Whether its a good party, a fight, a kid spot or a prayer meeting, I'm taking you along! You've been so much more valuable than you know. You rock!
John Cobbin
Groomsman
John, I love this man. I graduated high school and really to be honest didn’t know what to do next. Talked with John and if anyone knows John, he talks to you as if you already know what’s going on. He said “I’m going to college” I said “oh? Ok where do I sign up?” John says “you didn’t register?” Register?! I’m scrambling trying to see what this college thing is all about. First day of school finally got classes and he was like..”well I’m done for the day”..I was like “what?! How? It’s lunch time?” He said “yeah I’m going to eat a hotdog from Sam’s Club get me a 32oz Powerade and go home..I got work”. John has always been the man with a plan. He can see a puzzle out of place and put it in place with his mind. Taught me to know what I’m talking about. I thank God for John Cobbin.
