Groom
Bride
Maid of Honor
Nyhla is my beautiful and smart daughter. Who I am so grateful to have in my life. She brightens my day with her sense of humor. I can't imagine doing this day without her by my side.
Matron of Honor
Ebony is my big sis! We have been through so much together through the years. She has always had my front and my back. She has never missed any major milestones in my life and I wouldn't expect today to be any different. The love that I have for her is unmatched. I'm so happy to have her by my side on this important day and new chapter of my life.
Bridesmaid
Catina is my older sister. Biologically she is my first cousin but relationship-wise she is Big Sis all the way. She has been in my life since I was born and our relationship has been close ever since. I remember as a little girl I always wanted to be around her and be just like her. She is a person that we call 'Ms. Get It Done" because she procrastinates a lot but she will get it done. She will always be there for you if you need her. I'm so happy to still have her in my life.
Bridesmaid
Latonya is also known as Rabbit. She is my older sister but biologically she is my first cousin. I've known her since I was born and she has always been consistently in my life. When she is around there is never a dull moment. She will always make sure you good, fed, and comfortable. If you are lucky enough you may see her do her favorite dance the ‘sally walk’. She is one of the sweetest and kindest people you will ever meet with a little shade on the side. If you ever come across her consider yourself blessed.
Bridesmaid
Bridgette and I have been friends for over 20 years. But we now consider ourselves family. We have created many memories together and hope to create more. Over the years she has been very supportive and shown up when needed. To know her is to love her. I guess after 20 years...I can say that I love her!
Best Man
Alonzo Holliday-I have watched you grow into a wonderful young man and I’m so proud that you fulfilled your dreams. I don’t think the world knew what they were getting until they meet you. It is my honor to have you standing next to me on this special day. Big Lou—love you.

Parents of the Bride
Dear Mommy, I haven't seen you since I was 10 years old. I could not imagine doing this day without you—but here we are. I hope you are in heaven smiling down on me and happy about the woman and mother that I have become. I hope that I have lived up to your expectations as your baby girl. I know if you were here, you would have loved Holliday. I've always felt like you had a hand in bringing me and Holliday together. I just want to say thank you, I miss you and I love you so much. Dear Daddy, I was always your baby girl. The love and affection that you shown me are memories that will last a lifetime. Growing up I always thought you were the coolest dad and I thought highly of you. You had the coolest cars, and don't forget the jerri curl. You always made a serious situation funny. While I didn't inherit your looks, I definitely got your personality. Daddy, I wish you were here to walk me down the aisle. But I know you will be here in spirit. Love you always Lou Dogg.
Mother of the Groom
Gladys—the person who I work so hard for to make proud even though you wasn't there— it felt like you were. Just knowing your presence was there kept me out of alot of trouble. I can never express how much I love and miss you. I have given you two handsome grandsons whose names are Alonzo and Caden. They are doing well for themselves. I know you would’ve loved and spoiled them if you had the chance but thats ok I took care of that part. You have been my biggest motivation in life and I hope I made you proud. I would personally like to invite you to my wedding it would be an honor and a blessing. That would be the greatest gift that I could have ever received in life. I love Gladys Holliday.
Father of the Groom
My father a guy who never waivers in his discipline and until this day can still appreciate and fill that discipline. You did a wonderful job Louis Holliday Sr. It couldn’t have been easy raising me but you did. I am happy to have you here with me today.
Flower Girl
Lele, it has been a pleasure to watch you grow up to be the wonderful young lady you are. You never seem to amaze me. I am so proud to be your Auntie and wouldn’t change that for the world. I am so happy you get to share this milestone in my life. I love you forever.
Flower Girl
Asia, I am so proud of the young lady you are becoming. I am so proud to call you my niece, cousin and Goddaughter. I love everything about you. I have witnessed all of your milestones in your life and I’m super excited you get to witness this milestone in my life. I love you.
Sister of the groom
Dionne—my oldest sister who I love so much even though we fought all the time that was our business. When people ask me “how is your sister doing” I will say “she fine” and when they ask “has she changed” I just say “was she supposed to”. When our mother passed away the first words to come out of my mouth was “she is not going to make DeeDee’s graduation”. You have been a blessing to me. It is a pleasure to have you here with me today.
Sister of the groom
BooBoo—my youngest sister who always made sure I was right for school. Everyday she reminded me to grab my books and she used to say “what are you going to do with your life”. I appreciate the effort you put into me even when I didn’t want it. I used to think I was protecting you but in reality you were protecting me and for that I will always love you. It is an honor to have you here with me today.
Sister of the Bride
Tamyra is my little sister but thinks she is everyone's mama. She is mean but a gentle giant..a sensitive thug. She is the sweetest person you will ever meet but just like a true Gemini you don't want to see her other side. She is loyal to her family and one of the silliest people you will ever meet. I am so happy to see her grow up into a responsible mother, hard worker and a loving and supportive sister. I love you so much little sis.
Brother of the Bride
Tamell is my little (but big) brother. Who thinks he is my father. He has always been a protector even though he gave me my first black eye (he was 2 years old). He is one of biggest 'go-getters' and one of the smartest people that I know. It's been a pleasure to watch him grow into a young man and a great father and a future entrepreneur. I love you more than you will ever know. Thanks for filling in for daddy and walking me down the aisle.
Brother of the Bride
Shelton is my baby brother. He is the most laid back, quiet and nonchalant person you will ever meet. He is the ladies favorite and spitting image of our father. Thank you so much for stepping in for daddy and walking me down the aisle. You will always be my Bookie.
Raised With Love
GG, I would like to say thank you, thank you and thank you. You have been in my life every since I was born and have never left my side. You stepped in to raise me when my mother passed away and I will forever be grateful. Words cannot express how thankful I am for you. You are the best and I don’t care what nobody say about you lol. I love you so much and thank you.
