He transcends the label of a mere relative; He is a trusted companion, a source of joy, and a true friend. I know GOD made us cousins because neither of our mom’s could’ve handled us as brothers. “You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them,” – Desmond Tutu

(Sister of the Bride) She is the multi-talented introverted/extroverted diva of the crew. Whatever task you throw her way I guarantee she can do it. She's incredibly smart, hilarious, spontaneous, and outgoing. She's always chasing new experiences, and if you're lucky, she'll bring you along with her.

A sparkling jewel with a heart of gold. She is the hopeless romantic of the crew. She gives and demands respect. Despite having quite a large social circle, she prefers the company of a select few people on the same wavelength.
Julio Nieves
Junior Groomsmen
(Son of the Groom) If you want a problem solver or a snarky quick-witted defense attorney in your life, look no further. Extremely mutable at times giving him grounds to fit in with anyone as he deems worthy. He is an anime lover and gamer at heart. He has strong intuitive skills & a bright future ahead!
Nija Williams
Junior Bridesmaid
(Daughter of the Groom) She has a witty and creative personality and a loving heart. She is vivacious, impulsive, and outgoing, so there is no boring time or awkward silence in her company. If she is free to speak her mind, she will usually have no reason not to tell the truth. She is unpredictable and changes all the time, never too feminine, and rarely wants to be taken care of and protected in a typical sense.
Antoine Williams
Junior Groomsmen
He has a very conservative personality that causes him to believe in actions more than words. He is strong & humourous with a free nature.

Hayden Ellis
Flower Girl
(Niece of the Bride) She possesses the most loving and caring spirit. God graced her with a beautifully crafted soul. She loves helping people, proving their worth, being leaned on, and feeling valued. She has a natural elegance and poise emitting serenity and calmness. She loves laughter and above all her mom!
Kassidy “Squeak” Upchurch
Flower Girl
(Daughter of the Bride) God blessed her with a silly, sweet, & sassy spirit and a beautiful personality. Her voice isn’t much louder than a mouse so we call her ‘Squeak’. She is a very active & playful child. Her smile is irresistible, she is naturally energetic, vibrant, full of beans, great company, and passionate. She has a very independent and happy-go-lucky character. To know her is to love her.
