I am very excited to be celebrating our 10-year vow renewal, my heart is overflowing with love and gratitude. Ten years ago, I married not only my husband but my friend and these years have been filled with so much joy, growth, and beautiful memories. We've faced challenges, shared victories, and built a life together that is beyond what I ever imagined. Through it all, our love has remained steadfast, growing deeper with each passing year. I’m so proud of everything we’ve created, and today is a beautiful reminder of how far we've come and how much stronger we’ve become together. Our journey together is something I treasure, and the love we share continues to be my biggest blessing. I’m so thankful for the way we lift each other up, for the laughter, for the quiet moments, and for the endless support we've given each other. I’m beyond excited to celebrate this milestone not just with my incredible partner, but with all of our loved ones who’ve been part of this journey with us. This vow renewal is a celebration of our commitment, our love, and all the beautiful moments that have led us here. Here’s to the next chapter in our story, and to the amazing love we get to share with those around us. #StillStokes

Katrika Jackson
Officiant
Our Apostle, has been a true blessing in our lives. She stepped into our journey at a pivotal moment and completely changed the trajectory of our relationship. With her wisdom, guidance, and unwavering faith, she helped us grow in ways we never imagined. Her prayers have been a constant source of strength, and her belief in us, even when we doubted ourselves, has been nothing short of transformative. The way she has walked alongside us, with such grace and love, has deepened our connection to each other and to God. We are forever grateful for the spiritual foundation she’s helped build in our relationship, and for the prayers that continue to cover us. Her faithfulness and devotion to God are inspiring, and we know that our marriage is being blessed because of her presence in our lives. Having her officiate this ceremony is not only a privilege but a reminder of the powerful role she’s played in shaping our love and commitment. We are truly blessed to have her as a guiding force in our lives, and we will carry her prayers and wisdom with us forever.

Junior Bride
My daughter is truly my heart and soul, and having her as my Junior Bride on this special day means the world to me. We’ve grown up together in so many ways—she’s been with me through every milestone, every joy, and every challenge. Watching her grow has been one of the greatest blessings of my life, and I’m in awe of the young woman she is becoming.

I can’t wait to see her shine in her role as Junior Bride, and I know this day will be another beautiful chapter in our story together. She means everything to me, and I’m so proud of the incredible young woman she is.
Charity Rowe-Marshall
Matron of Honor
My cousin is the definition of a matron of honor who’s always got everything under control, no matter what. From the very beginning, she stepped in with such grace and determination, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Her attention to detail, her ability to handle any challenge with a smile, and the way she supports and lifts up the bride is truly amazing. She’s not just a helper—she’s the heart and backbone of this day, making sure every moment is perfect. But beyond the logistics, I love her for the way she’s always there. Whether it's calming nerves, cracking a joke to ease the tension, saying a prayer, or making sure everyone feels included, she does it all with such love and kindness. She’s the kind of person you can always count on, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this special day. I can’t wait to celebrate this beautiful moment with her. It’s not just about the big day; it’s about the journey and the love we share as friends and family. Here’s to creating memories and having the most unforgettable time together!
Lonnie Stokes
Best Man
My best man and brother LC, is someone who has been through it all with me. We’ve shared some crazy, unforgettable moments, and let’s just say, we’ve gotten into our fair share of trouble together in the past! From wild adventures to pushing boundaries, we definitely lived life on the edge for a while. But what I love most about him is the way we’ve both grown and evolved over the years. We’ve come a long way from those days, and now, we’re both on the straight and narrow, building lives we can be proud of. It’s been amazing to see the transformation in both of us, and to know that through it all, we’ve always had each other’s backs. He’s not just my blood family, but my brother in spirit. I’m proud of the man he’s become, and I’m grateful that our bond has only deepened as we’ve matured. Having him by my side as my best man is a full-circle moment. He’s been there for me through the ups, the downs, and everything in between, and I’m honored to have him standing with me on this day. I can’t wait to continue this journey of life together, knowing we’ve come so far and have so much more ahead.
Melanie Jenkins
Maid of Honor
My good girl Melanie and maid of honor is not just a friend—she’s been a sister to me for over 25 years. We’ve been through everything together, from childhood laughs to life’s hardest moments. She’s always been by my side, and I can’t imagine this day without her. Her love and faith are unwavering, and she’s the prayerful, strong foundation I turn to when life gets tough. She doesn’t just support me—she fights for me, always advocating for my happiness and well-being with a heart full of loyalty. What I love most about her is that she doesn’t play about me. She’s the kind of friend who stands by me no matter what, always ready to lift me up, guide me with wisdom, and celebrate with joy. I’m so blessed to have had her by my side all these years, and I can’t wait to celebrate this incredible day with her. This day is so much more than just a wedding; it’s a reflection of our bond and the beautiful friendship we’ve built over the years. I’m beyond excited to share this chapter with her, knowing she’ll be there with love, laughter, and prayers, just as she’s been through every other season of my life. Here's to more memories and more blessings!
Ataysha Fenelon
Maid of Honor
Taysha and I have been friends for over 20 years, and she’s been there through everything. I can’t even count how many times she’s been ready to fight for me (especially my ex's). She never played when it came to our friendship—she was always the first to jump in and defend me, without question. I’m also beyond thankful for the way the Lord stepped in and changed her life. She’s not the same person she was years ago—God really transformed her heart, her mindset, and her spirit. Now, instead of fighting with her fists, she’s fighting on her knees in prayer, and that strength is even more powerful. The growth I’ve seen in her has been nothing short of beautiful, and it’s a reminder of God’s grace and love. She is a woman of faith, resilience, and unwavering loyalty, and I’m so incredibly proud of the woman she’s become. Her friendship means the world to me. She’s not just my best friend; she’s family, and I can’t imagine my life without her. I’ve laughed with her, cried with her, and stood by her just as she’s stood by me. We’ve shared so many memories, and I know we’re about to make a whole lot more. I’m so excited to celebrate this special day with her by my side, and I can’t wait to honor her and have her there as I take this continued step in my life. The Lord’s brought us both so far, and this day will be another chapter in our story of love, loyalty, and endless support.
Tiffany Booker
Bridesmaid
My oldest sister has always been like a second mom to me. From the moment I was born, she’s been there, guiding me, protecting me, and loving me like no one else could. She’s the one who always knew what to say, whether I needed advice, a hug, or a little tough love. Growing up with her felt like having an anchor, someone I could always count on no matter what. Her support has shaped me into who I am today, and I’m forever grateful for the way she’s always had my back. What I love most about her is how giving she is—whether it’s her time, her love, or her heart, she always goes above and beyond for those she loves. She doesn’t hesitate to put others before herself, and she’s the first to show up when anyone needs her. Her selflessness knows no bounds, and it’s something that inspires me every single day. I can’t even begin to express how much I love her. She’s not just my sister; she’s a second mother, a constant source of strength, and my biggest cheerleader. I’m so thankful for her presence in my life, and I can’t wait to have her by my side as a bridesmaid on this special day. It feels so right to have her there, celebrating this chapter with me, just as she’s been there for every important moment before. She’s been my rock, and now, I get to share the joy of this day with the person who has given me everything.
Bridget Rowe
Bridesmaid
My older sister is one of the most unique people I know. She’s quiet, but when she speaks, it’s always something worth listening to—every word is full of meaning, and she has this way of making people stop and think. She may not say a lot, but when she does, it’s like a mouthful of wisdom, humor, or something that makes you laugh until your stomach hurts. I love how she doesn’t feel the need to fill every silence with words, and when she does speak, it’s always something special. I’ve always admired her for being true to herself—she’s unapologetically her, and I respect that so much. Her quiet strength and calm demeanor balance out so much of the chaos around her, and it’s something I’ve always looked up to. But what I love most is the shared bond of funny childhood memories we have. Whether it was the silly things we used to do or the inside jokes that only we understand (like pouring juice in Eddie's head), those moments have shaped our relationship in such a beautiful way. Having her by my side as a bridesmaid means the world to me. It’s going to be full of laughter, love, and memories that will only deepen our bond even more. I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful sister, I feel incredibly blessed to have her standing with me on this special day.
Ebony Ward
Bridesmaid
My baby sister and I have always been like two peas in a pod. Growing up, we shared everything—our room, our bed, our dreams, and all the little moments in between. Our mom raised us side by side, and we were inseparable. We’ve seen each other through every stage of life, and there’s no one who knows me quite like she does. From childhood sleepovers to laughing about everything and everyone, our bond has only grown stronger over the years. Even now, we take most trips together and are always there for each other through every season of life. We treat each other’s children like our own, and the love and support between us is something I can’t quite put into words. She’s my partner in crime, my confidant, and someone who’s been by my side through thick and thin. Having her as a bridesmaid is such a special honor. I can’t imagine celebrating this day without her by my side, because she’s not just my sister—she’s my best friend, my constant, and the one person who truly gets me. I’m so grateful for her love, her presence, and the beautiful bond we share. I look forward to making even more memories together on this special day and beyond!
Nicole Stokes
Bridesmaid
My sister-in-law is the ultimate turn-up queen, always bringing the energy, fun, and good vibes wherever she goes. She knows how to make any moment feel like a celebration, and her infectious spirit has a way of lighting up every room she enters. Whether it's dancing, cracking jokes, or just living in the moment, she always knows how to make everything feel like a party, and I love that about her! But beyond her fun-loving personality, she’s also the best aunt ever. The way she loves on my kids (and everyone else’s) is something special. She’s always there with an open heart, making sure they’re happy, loved, and spoiled with attention. Her bond with them is so beautiful, and it’s clear that her love for them knows no bounds. She’s not just an aunt; she’s like another mom to them, and I’m so grateful for how much she adds to their lives. Having her as a bridesmaid is such a joy because she brings a special kind of energy and love to everything she does. I can't wait to celebrate this day with her—there’s no one better to have by my side to make this day even more unforgettable! She’s the perfect mix of fun and heart, and I’m so lucky to call her family.
Quontrail Warren
Bridesmaid
This one right here? We go way back to high school days and some major mess that we’ll probably never tell our kids about (or maybe we will, one day lol). Somehow, every time one of us was pregnant, the other one was to ;like our wombs were synced up and plotting. We’ve cried together, laughed until we couldn’t breathe, and tried (more than once) to square up with each other’s baby daddy. And if you even whisper the word “vacation”? We’re packing our bags—even if we’re broke, unpaid, or still looking for a babysitter. She’s my partner-in-crime, and my “If you like it, I love it” girl. Having her next to me as my bridesmaid today makes sense—we’ve stood together through everything else. Why not the one of the biggest days of my life too? #Myrider, I love you!
Baselaire Fenelon
Best Man
My best man Bass, is a true reflection of the incredible bond that was built through our wives' friendship. What started as a connection between them quickly turned into something special for us as well. Over time, we found ourselves not just as friends, but as brothers, united by the love and laughter our wives brought into our lives. What I value most about him is the loyalty and support he’s shown me through thick and thin. He’s the kind of guy who’ll drop everything to have your back, and his friendship has become a cornerstone in my life. It’s amazing to look back and realize how much our wives’ friendship laid the foundation for something so meaningful between us. I’m honored to have him standing by my side today, and I know this is just the beginning of many more years of laughter, support, and shared memories. His friendship means the world to me, and I couldn’t imagine celebrating this day without him as my best man.
Howard Moskowitz
Groomsman
Howard is the kind of friend who expects nothing but gives everything. He’s as genuine as they come and never asks for anything in return, but his loyalty and friendship mean the world to me. He’s the kind of guy who just shows up, no matter what, and that’s something I truly value. We’ve shared countless hours together, whether it’s watching sports, debating over our favorite teams, or just hanging out. He’s my go-to sports-watching partner, and there’s no one I’d rather have by my side cheering on our teams and sharing those moments of excitement and frustration. It’s those little things—the laughter, the camaraderie—that have made our friendship so special. Having him as one of my groomsmen feels right because he’s someone who’s always been there without expectation, just offering his support, time, and genuine friendship. I’m incredibly thankful to have him in my life, and I can’t wait to have him by my side on this special day as we continue to make memories together.
Devin Liladrie
Groomsman
Devin is a guy who started off as my boss, but over the years, became so much more than that. We worked together for years in the car industry, and from day one, we clicked. He had a way of making work feel like less of a job, often cracking jokes and keeping the mood light, even during the busiest days. His humor is unmatched—always hitting us with the sickest jokes that kept us laughing, no matter what. But beyond the jokes, I’ve always looked up to him. He’s one of the hardest-working, most driven people I know, and I’ve learned so much from him, not just professionally, but personally as well. His work ethic, leadership, and ability to stay calm under pressure taught me more than I could’ve imagined. I’m thankful for the mentorship he gave me, as much as the friendship that grew from it. Having him as a groomsman feels like the perfect way to celebrate how far we’ve come. We’ve gone from colleagues to real friends, and I’m proud to have him by my side on this day. It’s been an incredible journey, and I can’t wait to continue sharing laughs, lessons, and memories with him for many years to come.
Robert Jackson
Groomsman
Elder Jackson is someone who has been a guiding light in my life. He’s a man of great wisdom, integrity, and faith, and I’ve been blessed to have him in my life. His knowledge and insight are priceless, and I’ve learned so much from him—whether it’s about life, faith, or simply how to be a better man. What makes him such a great person is his humility and willingness to share his wisdom with others. He’s always ready to offer advice or lend a listening ear, but it’s never in a way that feels overbearing. He has this calm, thoughtful way of guiding those around him, and I’m grateful for all the ways he’s helped me grow. Having him as a groomsman is an honor. I admire his strength of character, his unwavering faith, and the example he sets for everyone around him. I look forward to celebrating this day with him, not only because he’s been a great person but because his influence and wisdom have had such a positive impact on my life.
Jason Booker
Groomsman
Jason, my brother-in-law is the undisputed Karaoke King! Whether it’s a family gathering, a night out, or just a random moment, you can count on him to take over the mic and turn the place into his stage. His energy, enthusiasm, and total commitment to every song make him a legend in the world of karaoke. You haven’t truly experienced a party until you’ve seen him in action—he’s got the crowd going every time, and his performances are always full of laughs, passion, and a whole lot of heart. But beyond his karaoke skills, he’s just an amazing brother-in-law and friend. He’s always there for me, with a smile on his face and a good time to be had, and he brings a sense of fun and joy to every moment. I’m lucky to have him by my side on this special day, because no matter what, I know he’s going to bring the energy and help make this celebration unforgettable.Having him as a groomsman means a lot to me. We’ve shared so many fun memories together, and I’m looking forward to making even more as we celebrate this amazing day. And, of course, I’m sure there will be a karaoke session somewhere in the mix!
Brian Hall
Groomsman
Brian is a friend I’ve known since 1996, and it’s been an incredible journey watching our friendship grow over the years. From the moment we met, he’s always had the gift of humor, and he’s the kind of guy who can turn any situation into a laugh-out-loud moment. His jokes and sense of humor have kept us all smiling through the years, no matter what life threw our way. But what’s even more amazing is seeing the man he’s become. He’s now a devoted father and husband, and it’s been incredible to watch him step into those roles with the same dedication and love he’s always shown as a friend. The way he cares for his family is something to be admired, and it’s clear that his priorities have shifted in the most beautiful way. Having him as a groomsman is an honor because not only has he been a constant in my life, but he’s someone who I respect deeply. He’s been with me through the good times and the challenges, and I’m excited to have him by my side on this special day. We’ve shared so many memories, and I know this is just another chapter in a long-lasting friendship. Here's to many more years of jokes, memories, and supporting each other through life!
Bencia Delsoin
Bridesmaid
There aren’t enough words to describe what Bencia means to me. We’ve been best friends since we were 11 years old, and now 27 years later, she’s still one of the most constant, loyal, and loving people in my life. She’s the godmother of my daughter, and their bond is just as strong as ours; those two do not play about each other. (It’s almost annoying lol) Through every season of life, Bencia has been my forever safe space. She’s the one who knows my heart, my strengths, my stories, and still chooses to show up, every time. Having her stand beside me today as a bridesmaid is a full-circle moment that reminds me how deeply blessed I am. My friend, sister, and baby daddy lol, I love you!
Kedric Marshall
Groomsman
Ked is a more recent friend, but even though we don’t always reach out as often as we probably should, I know without a doubt that if either of us ever needed something, we’d be there for each other in a heartbeat. Our wives have been friends for a while, and through that connection, we’ve built our own bond. It’s one of those friendships that doesn’t need constant communication to remain steady. Having him as a groomsman means a lot, because it shows how far we’ve come in our friendship, and I’m grateful for the connection we’ve built. Even though we don’t always talk every day, I know we both value each other, and I’m excited to have him by my side on this special day.
Charlie Lugo
Groomsman
Charlie is a coworker who turned into a great friend, and I’m really grateful for how our friendship evolved. What started as working together in the office quickly grew into something much more meaningful. We’ve spent countless hours collaborating, learning from each other, and, of course, sharing a lot of laughs along the way. What I love most about him is that he’s the kind of person who’s always willing to lend a hand, offer advice, or just listen when you need to talk. Beyond work, he’s become a friend I can rely on—someone I know I can count on not just for professional support but for personal encouragement as well. Our bond goes beyond the office, and having him stand by me as a groomsman is a reminder of how much our friendship has meant over the years. I’m looking forward to celebrating this day with him, as he’s been a big part of my journey, and I know he’ll bring his positive energy and great spirit to this special occasion. It’s awesome to have him by my side, and I’m grateful for the friendship we’ve built.
