Brittany & Ryan
The “I Do Crew”
Malenie Morris
Maid of Honor
Our sisterhood began in the BHS locker room. From raising kids together to partying in college. You've always been my safe place with your protective and loyal nature. You’ve cheered me on at every stage of life. It's been a wild 15 years but we have not missed a beat !
Karmen Walker
Bridesmaid
I witnessed you grow from a teen girl with Bright red hair to maturing into an excited new mom. One thing that's been consistent is your love for my brother. I’m so proud of you and So happy to be sharing a life journey with you.
Afton Scarborough
Bridesmaid
Nouveau Nights to Miami days. Our bond was built through our love for money and Trap music. You’ve shown me that there is so much more to life. Your lust for adventure is infectious. I value our shared experiences looking forward to creating new memories.
Dominique Boyd
Bridesmaid
Our kids became friends before we did and I am so happy they introduced us. We manage to turn every “Kid’s Party” to a party of our own; your genuine energy is always a delight. You've spent long long long long long nights at my house with laughter and double cheeseburgers.
Artina Jones
Bridesmaid
I never learned how to finger wave, but you went from teaching me the rules of cosmetology to the rules of life. Thank you for years of loyalty and bomb hairstyles. I appreciate our sisterhood.
Shanice Land
Bridesmaid
I went from “ Gone Girl “ to Got Girl. My free spirited friend.We have so many stories between us. Our endless weekend adventures were some of my best times. Thanks for having my back and being a great escape.
Nick Onwukwe
Best Man
My big brother, my mentor, and my role model. Unique life experiences coupled with intellect guided by study; you’re fascinating. From jousting on our bikes and hockey gear to helping organize mass protest in our adult life, we’ve done it all and been through it all, together.
Anton Bedeaux
Groomsman
Anton and I rode everywhere together in my first car, the infamous black dragon. Sometimes he drove and sometimes Josh and I carried Anton back in his mom’s house after a night out, and he’s big for that! Coming back from my travels and watching you create and become a family man motivated me to have my own.
Brandon Williams
Groomsman
Brandon thought I was a lame, then he learned I was off the chain. Now I call this dude every day and he helps me stay sane (we freestyle when we take road trips, Brandon’s much better than I lol). But for real, not many push me and hold me accountable the same way he does. Simply put Brandon’s honest with himself and with others.
Laveriis Johnson
Groomsman
First day of 6th grade in Mr. Spaghetti’s class (all students called him this and I forgot his real name) - Laveriis comes up to me: “Aye, aye bro! Do we get in trouble for sagging in this school?” Me: “ah, I don’t know” Laveriis: “Aight, f*ck it then” sags pants hella low and walks off. We’ve been tight ever since. Being a friend to this man means you’ll receive unconditional love
David Gaines
Groomsman
David’s mindset is unique, he’s a true go getter. Meeting him at age 14 and watching him find success in the MN hip hop scene hosting acts like the Migos made me realize that when he told me he could do anything, he meant it; he’s motivated several people through his own drive, including me.
Ahmad Bah
Groomsman
One of the most talented footballers I’ve seen come out of Brooklyn Park. An honest man whose love for the beautiful game shines through him. His calm nature kept me calm through our first season as collegiate soccer coaches and our success would not be possible without him.
Jason Lamour
Groomsman
The first two black skaters in our area. Dreadlocks, ragers and keggers, and peaking under my hood while driving on the e-way after our hood flipped up. Friends since 6th grade, even in 7th when you had the electrocuted hair style. Proud of the man he’s become through the obstacles he overcame.
Ashley Haysten
Bridesmaid
We went from playing with barbie’s to planning our own weddings. Thank you for being apart of this occasion. No matter how far we’ve lived from each other we’ve always managed to keep in touch.
