Wedding Party
Jazsmine
Maid of Honor
I've known Nik since the day I was born. We are so much alike that everyone thinks we are twins. I can remember doing everything with my sister and her friends, in high school, so when she got accepted into Temple University I was proud but a little disappointed at her moving out of state. It was sad to see her go but now when I look back on it, it was a blessing in disguise. Had she not gone to Temple she never would have met Marcus. Going up to Philly and experiencing some of the college life with Marcus and Nik created memories that I will never forget. On June 16, 2018 they will officially commit to one another and from there on I know we will continue to create unforgettable memories as a family. Nik and Marcus mean the world to me and I'm so happy to be apart of their special day.

I met Nik the day before my birthday and she was the nicest person ever. I told Marcus she was the one and he didn't believe me but look where we are now!

Well I've known Nicole my whole life. We are first cousins but more like sisters! We have always been close! I met Marcus years ago. But from that time, I always thought that he was the perfect guy for her.

I first met Marcus about 12 years ago. We met through playing basketball. Even on the same team once. We started getting really cool, after I would annoy him about making me ringtones for my boost mobile. We kept in contact over the years. In my senior year of high school, which was his freshman year of college, is when I was introduced to the party life. I made sure I was with him every weekend. Then eventually I met Nicole. One of my favorite people in the world. Only person I know that can actually shut Marcus up. Everyone has their ups and downs. I'm just glad they fought thru it all. All the bae-cations and working together inspired me in many ways. I'm proud to call these two my friends. I wish them both good health, good fortune, and may the odds forever be in their favor.

The summer of 2004. Making my usual fashionably late appearance, I entered an unfamiliar class room. I surveyed the class to locate a familiar feeling. At that moment I knew that Nicole would not only be a "Summer Time Friend". She would be a life long sister! I immediately grabbed the seat next to my future BFF. Fall 2008 - Fall 2009 is a blur however, the start of a beautiful relationship is clear. I had not met Marcus but felt like he was already my brother-in-law. Winter 2009, Philly. I met the person I had heard so much about! The person that would change my best friend's life forever! MARCUS! He did not fall short of the "turnt" , charismatic, loyal, kind-hearted person Nikki detailed. I'm happy to have witness God bring this BLACK EXCELLENCE POWER COUPLE together!

I've known Nicole since I was born she's the oldest of my two sisters. And as all siblings do we've fought and had our differences, but we've always loved one another and had each other's back. As that will never change. A few years back I had the pleasure of meeting her boyfriend at the time Marcus. Who I will admit I was a little skeptical about at first for I was her brother and that was my job. However my skepticism was soon put to rest for Marcus proved to be the perfect companion for my sister. And I am honored to bare witness to these two individuals becoming one! Love ya hear!

I met Marcus in the 10th grade due to us having the same best friend. As year went on we became closer and closer and now we're best friends, but it feel like we're brother and sister. Through Marcus I met Nicole and I'm lucky to say we are all connected and our friendship is more like a family. Many laugh when I say this, but I knew Nicole was the one when one morning I woke up and she had a cup of ice waiting for me. I'm so happy to be apart of this journey with them and I'm excited to see what the future holds for these two.

I met Marcus, during my senior year of high school through Nicole, before going to college in his hometown of Philadelphia . We both played basketball for different high schools and always argued about who was better at basketball and everything else. Being close in age, we shared many of the same interests and hobbies as we made our way through our college years which allowed us to become brothers. I really appreciated Marcus treating me like a little brother and making his hometown feel like home . I have been lucky enough to see Marcus and Nicole grow together as the beautiful couple they are and I am blessed to be celebrating their big day with them.

I met Nicole in 2004 during our freshman year of high school. We had mutual friends and I always saw her in passing but it wasn't until softball season started that we really got to know one another. We've been friends ever since! Our friendship grew even stronger going out of state to College together where we laughed, cried, starved, and succeeded spending 4 years as roommates, solidifying our sisterhood and friendship forever. I was able to witness first hand the start of her and Marcus's relationship, and I am beyond blessed to be able to stand with them on their big day!

Also I remember that I was always beating him in video games, sure he beat me in certain games but I still have a better record then he does lol.

Parents of the Bride
Mother of the Bride
As the mother and father of the bride the last thing we ever wanted to do was give our 1st born away, especially since we were not in Philly to see how Marcus made our princess feel but a mother knows and I could feel her happiness and joy all the way in Baltimore. The fact that Debra and James came with the package was a plus, so when we meet Marcus an seen the smile on Nicole face my worries were no more. I knew at that point he would be in our world and hearts so instead of giving our 1st born away we gladly excepted Marcus into our family. We wish you both all that God has in store for you. Love always Mom and Dad!
