Wedding Party
Jasmine Daniels
Maid of Honor
My very best friend of more than 6 years, this queen has NEVER let me down or left my side. She is the most genuine, passionate, generous, caring, beautiful human I know and to call her my best friend is more than a blessing. She has been a true staple in my life and also in my relationship. She's put up with pregnant tantrums, me and my babies staying with her, 3am crying fits, random creepy messages, and anything else you can think of lol. She is my sunshine, my anchor, my better half... We love you, Jazziiebelle!!
Lindsey DiLoretto
Bridesmaid
This woman is bold, brutally honest, and sometimes harsh... but she is also a beautiful spirit inside and out. Her honesty and glowing soul are only two of the reasons I love her. Lindsey Marie is fierce, outspoken, and one of my closest friends. Not an associate or just anyone. But a TRUE friend. And those are very hard to come by. I chose her as a bridesmaid because of her loyalty and unquestionable support. Love you woman!!
Aleia Smith
Bridesmaid
Aleia Smith has been in our lives since Autumn and Preston were infants and she has never once NOT been there for my children and I. She is patient, loving, kind, and an awesome friend who my mom ADORED lol... She's my "babymomma", friend, sister, and a huge important person in not only my life, but my children's lives also. And I am forever grateful. I asked her to be my bridesmaid due to her significant importance in my life and relationship. This woman basically kept me sane when i felt like cracking and I had noone else. Thank you. Love you and the kids!!!
Jessica Beatty
Bridesmaid
Jessica Marie Beatty... Oh boy, how do I begin? Lol. Well, we met in placement almost 15 years ago and have always been friends since. You were my BEST friend... Like, if there were such thing as a soulmate friend, that would be us lol! I'll never forget our first time together at the respite care center, building our own clubhouse that took over the entire livingroom! Nobody could tell us anything! Lol. We put posters and magazine pages up on the walls inside and actually slept there a few times too. The two Jess's. They kept telling us that we'd never stay friends, let alone find eachother again. They said that placement kid friendships don't last. But somehow, we did. I have so much to say but only can fit 800 letters lol but I love you to LIFE Jessica Marie!!
Marcia Fowler
Bridesmaid
Marcia is one of closest and most awesome friends. We click more than I do with 90% of people I meet. She is "my favorite human" lol and she's been there for me through soooo much in my relationship. The advice, the funny messages, the brutal honesty, everything... It's amazing and I love love love you!!!!
My Hyena Squad (inside joke)
Bridesmaids
FUC, hyenas, sad girls club, whatever... These ladies have been the most reliable, down to earth, hilarious friends everrrr lol. Who would have thought a bunch of girls on Facebook in a meme group would build such a crazy strong, emotional bond? But here we are! You ladies have held it down, loved my kids, and wiped my tears (Sarah lol) and I am forever grateful... I love you crazy ladies!!
Joyce Reese
Mother of the Bride
My beautiful, witty, intelligent and strong mother Joyce Ann Reese. The most important person in my life. This woman has been my rock in so many ways, too many to count. From the time I was a little girl, to today... she has always been there. No matter how stubborn, resistant, and rebellious I was, she was there. I am beyond blessed to have you in my life, Mom. You are the epitome of strength.
Melanee Jeanne Reese
Mother of the Bride
Melanee Reese will be walking down the aisle with the bride in spirit. She was my rock,my strength, my best friend and my confidante. Through everything that we went through in our relationship, I am EXTREMELY blessed, grateful, and honored to be her daughter. She had been waiting on Allan and I to get married for about two years now lol. I love you so much, more than words could ever tell... You will aways be the most AMAZING person in the world to me. You are my hero Melanee.
Matthew Reese
Big Brother of the Bride
"Father of the Bride" in this case would be "Big brother of the Bride" lol... My big brother Matthew was a father figure to me before he went to college. I looked up to him, I wanted to be like him, he believed in me, he helped me when things got really hard for me emotionally at home, and I have always had the upmost respect for him. He will be walking with the bride

Mary Johnson
Mother of the Groom
Ms Mary Johnson, mother of the groom, has played a HUGE part in our lives. She has been there through the ups and downs, and told me a long time ago that she felt I was "good for her son". She is strong, independent, honest, stern, and loving. She has helped us in so many ways, including spiritually. We love you, Mom. Thanks for everything.

Audria Logan

My best friend in high school. If we hadn't lost contact in 2011, she would have been Autumn's godmother. She was such a loyal, caring, generous, and honest friend, and that was so hard to come by. I'm so appreciative of her friendship, and even though we don't speak often, I still get super excited everytime I hear from this woman lol... Love you, Auddie!!
