Groom
The man, the myth, the Groom. He’s the one who brought this whole crew together and the one we’re all here to celebrate. Let’s get this man married!
Bride
Nikki is thoughtful, driven, and happiest when surrounded by loved ones. She’s thrilled to celebrate this day and begin married life with her best friend.
Best Man
From day one, Trae has been more than a friend—he’s been a brother. He’s the most down-to-earth person I know and a true 'light in the dark' who has always had my back. I couldn't imagine saying 'I do' without him there.
Maid of Honor
Nye is my cousin and one of my very first best friends. The 2-hour car rides between our families' houses in Southfield, MI and Grand Rapids, MI always felt much longer with the anticipation of hanging out with my surrogate sisters. I’m so lucky to have her as a steady, reassuring presence as I start this next chapter.
Groomsman
Next up is my brother by choice, not by blood. They say you can't pick your family, but after 19 years, our roots run deeper than anything. I’m incredibly happy to have you by my side today, man. Thanks for always having my back—and for promising not to share any embarrassing stories during the toasts. Though, if you play your cards right, I might approve just one embarrassing story.
Bridesmaid
Ogechi is also my cousin and another member of the A-Team (Agomuoh/Aririguzo). She's fun, caring, and always down for an adventure! Being 1 year apart, it feels like we've always been together and I can’t imagine this day without her.
Groomsman
I stumbled upon Nate at a random car event back in 2014, and what started as a shared passion turned into one of my closest friendships. While 2014 doesn't seem that long ago, the years have truly flown by as we've lived through so much life together. From car meets to the biggest milestones, Nate has been a constant friend, and I’m grateful to have him standing with me as I start this next chapter
Bridesmaid
Keisha and I met in architecture school at Howard University and we’ve been friends ever since. She is someone I can always count on to be a safe place while making sure I get out of the house once in while! I’m so grateful to have her standing by my side on our big day.
Groomsman
Bound by decades of history and a childhood friendship they both cherish, Benny has been Chris’s North Star since day one. He’s the guy Chris calls for great advice, real-deal conversation, and the occasional reality check. Benny’s loyalty is so deep he’s even agreed to wear a suit for the occasion. The wedding party wouldn’t be the same without him, and Chris’s life wouldn't be the same without his constant friendship.
Bridesmaid
Brittni and I also attended architecture school at Howard University. Even though we were roommates back then, Brittni has not gotten sick of me yet! I appreciate her agreeing to share this special day with us, including all the dancing she will have to do.
Groomsman
The baby of the family who hasn’t followed my advice since 1999. He’s only here for the open bar and the chance to roast me in public. I am officially resigning as his guardian tonight and handing the reins to Nikki. Consider this your only warning: if he has a microphone or a mischievous look in his eye, stay back.
Bridesmaid
Leanne is a my sweet and strong younger cousin. Currently transitioning to a medical resident, she is also in a very overwhelming phase of her life, so I am very grateful to her for adding this to her plate too! Spray lots of money to show your support for a new doctor!
