Taylor (T.P.)
Groomsman
"The Georgia Boys" Clarence and T.P met at Morgan State University in 2010 as MSU Football Players. Taylor was a transfer from a Junior College while Tres was a new freshmen player. Known on the team as "Big Bruh (TP) Lil' Bruh (Clarence)" you knew that if you saw one you definitely saw the other! Clarence and T.P.'s brotherhood grew even more while road tripping together from Baltimore to Georgia to visit their families. Even after Taylor moved back to Georgia the two remained inseparable, always picking up where they left off.
Victoria
Bridesmaid
Statistics class brought them together, and love has kept them bonded! Victoria and Monique's friendship had proven the test of time. The two met while attending high school in Mechanicsville, VA. Their favorite past times are Mimosas with a side of Brunch.
Darren
Groomsman
First they hated each other now they love one another! Meeting in 2010 as freshmen at Morgan State University Clarence and Darren's relationship did not start off so well. Clarence was an Offensive Lineman while Darren played on the Defensive Line. A year later Darren was moved to the Offensive Line, and that's where a friendship began to grow. Over the next 4 years they competed to become the best Offensive Linemen on the team. Through this competition built a brotherhood like no other. THE PINNOCK SWAIN TRAIN!
Lamitra
Bridesmaid
4th grade. Ms. Johnson's class. Summer Hill Elementary school. From peer counseling sessions because Monique thought Lamitra was trying to steal her best friend to a life time of friendship. Standing the tests of time Lamitra has always been a consistent friend in Monique's life.
Joshua (Josh)
Groomsman
Brother From A Different Mother! Clarence and Josh met at Morgan State University in 2012, when Josh joined the Morgan State University Football Team. Clarence and Josh found a common interest in serving the local community. Summer 2013 Clarence and Josh trained for the upcoming football season each day and began to build an off the field friendship that eventually led to a brotherhood. Clarence soon became a part of the Stevens' family! From this bonded friendship Clarence and Monique have found a church home in the Baltimore area at Way of Life Community Church.
Cassi
Bridesmaid
Little cousins are awesome right?! Monique and Cassi's mom are sisters, making them practically sisters too! Their favorite memories involve time spent in the woods with their grandmother. Adding the perfect balance to this camp themed wedding.
Nicholas (Nic)
Groomsman
"Kings Are Back For Laughs" From the beginning Nic and Clarence have had a special bond, building from middle school through high school. Bonded through their families, but later creating a friendship of their very own. Clarence and Nic rode the same school bus, where they talked sports, girls (Don't tell Monique), and we can't forget "Freestyle Friday". Nic always believed Clarence would be the one player from Fayette County High that would transition to playing college football. Clarence always knew if you wanted to get Nic somewhere on time you had to tell him that it started 3 hrs earlier than the actual start time (Let's pray he's on time for the wedding). They were different, but even through these differences a lasting friendship was formed and maintained.
Rosa
Bridesmaid
Rosa and Monique were born cousins, but have developed a uniquely goofy relationship full of laughter and sarcasm. Despite the age difference Monique and Rosa spent much of their childhood together and have enjoyed some amazing memories!
Khary
Groomsman
Fayetteville Brothers 6th grade. Neighborhood shenanigans. From 6th grade to high school graduation Khary and Clarence spent endless time together. Working on their myspace pages, playing sports, watching movies, and never forget working for Ms. Kay. They were also teammates on the Fayette County High School Football team. Since graduation Clarence has moved to Baltimore, MD and Khary relocated to Nashville, TN and later back to Georgia. Of course the distance has not tampered with their brotherhood.
