Preana & Daniel
Wedding Party
Daniel Johnson
Groom
My name is Daniel Johnson and I'm the Groom. I was just a simple and humble guy that enjoyed sports and gaming. Everything changed when I met the love of my life, who brought along with her so much excitement, non-stop joy and laughter. I'm so thankful to call Preana mine and I can't believe I get to marry her. Now I know for sure, there will be no boring times in days to come.
Preana Thomas
Bride
I'm Pre and I play the Bride. I'm so excited to finally experience what we've all been waiting for. It's been seven years and I still wonder what makes me so special and worthy enough to have Daniel and his love, all to myself? I've found my person, and I've known since the beginning. I'm looking forward to many more years of snatching food off his plate when we try new restaurants, going on little and big trips, binge watching new shows, adopting more fur babies and maybe having a human one. But most importantly having him to kiss every morning, several times throughout the day and every night before bed. We've had our ups & downs, but we laugh more than we argue and I believe that's why our relationship has been a happy and successful one. Now it's time to carry it over to marriage.
Ranik Thomas
Father of the Bride
My name is Ranik and I am the father of the bride. I met Preana 20+ years ago in a Navy Hospital in Jacksonville, FL. We clicked instantly so we've been close ever since. I'm excited for the future Mr. and Mrs. Johnson to take this next step in their journey of life together.
Precola Golden
Mother of the Bride
Hey ya'll! I'm Precola and yessssss hunni, I am the mother of the bride. I am extremely proud of the woman Preana has become and oh my goodness, I can't even imagine her life without Daniel. The two of them are perfect for each other. I wish them nothing but the best in the next chapter of their life.
Rodney Reynolds
Photographer/ Videographer
I'm Rodney "Pops" Reynolds, Photographer/Videographer, and Preana's grandfather. I live in Detroit, Michigan but made it my business to see my grand-daughter every year. It has been a blessing and pleasure watching her grow into the woman that she has become, and to watch Daniel go from Taco Time famous, to the responsible young man that he is today. Their connection is like nothing I've ever seen before; rare, precious and nothing can come between it. That's love.
Xavier Woods
Officiant
My name is Xavier and I'm 24 years old. I'm finishing my degree in Social and Cultural Sciences, and raising my boy and Preana and Daniel's pug nephew, Uzi Ray. I met Preana 12 years ago and still remember how she came up to me and DICTATED that she was now my friend, look at where that got us now. I'm so thankful Daniel came into her life and I get to live through this experience with them as their officiant!
Kaliel Perry- Poree
Best Man
What's up, my name is Peace. As I go through life, I find myself looking for the next thrill. I'm currently living in Japan and having a blast exploring the culture. I first met Pre in high school when she was aggravating me to turn my music down in Senior Literature. Our paths crossed again shortly after graduating, when she got hired Taco Time; which was everyday comedy. I remember the first time I invited her over to the apartment. Hours of bouncing jokes off one another, having a great time and bringing each other to tears until her glasses came up missing. Everyone became a victim to her ever so little wrath when in the end she was the one who misplaced them. Ever since she's been my lil sis and fellow Queen.
Kaliel Perry- Poree (Cont.)
Best Man
I met Daniel through a mutual friend when we all caught the bus home together. Mans was radiating positivity off the rip and all we did was shake hands, but he did have a cool lil swag to him. I could tell he was the laid back type. His mindset and dedication was enough to draw us closer as friends. We've seen the highest heights and it feels like we've spoke on everything known to man. When it came to Preana, it was painfully obvious that he was into her. When everyone leaves the room, he gon tell me he "LOVEEEE black girls, man. Something bout that attitude". Now when he told me he liked Preana, I knew that this man was here to tame a beast. A worthy King for a worthy Queen. I'm glad I am here to be a part of the beautiful unification.
Hailey DuBois
Maid of Honor
Hey I'm Hailey! I’m Pre's Maid of Honor and wedding cake baker. If I'm not working, I'm at home just being a homebody; reading and relaxing. I met Pre way back on our first day of high school as Freshman’s. Never did I think while sitting beside her in Freshman Integrated Science, that I would be taking part of this very joyous occasion, but here we are and I'm so happy that I was asked to be apart of it.
Asha James
Bridesmaid
My name is Asha! I'm 24 years old, love traveling and planning special occasions for my family. I jokingly tell others that Preana and I have known each other since we were in diapers, just because it feels like we've been apart of each other's lives forever. Truthfully, I met Pre my freshman year/ her sophomore year of high school and we've been an inseparable pair of best friends ever since- even through long distance. She is truly an amazing person that I'm proud to call my bestie.
Armoney Williams
Bridesmaid
My name is Armoney and I have 24 years on this Earth. I have a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration, I am a Program Manager for a Residential Services Company and now a mother of 2 beautiful daughters. Preana is definitely one of those people I believe I was supposed to have in my life one way or another. We have crossed paths so many times unintentionally, so by the time we actually met in high school we truly gravitated towards each other. I've never had a friend so real, hilarious and just unapologetically bold and confident with themselves. Watching her blossom into the beautiful woman she is today with the man she loves has been such an inspiration and I can't wait to be a part of this celebration of their love.

I love kids, babies and baking, I met Pre through our good mutual friend, Armoney and after a few Ladies nights and Couple's game nights, a great friendship was born. I'm so excited to be apart of her and Daniel's special day!
Courtney Brooks
Bridesmaid
My name is Courtney Brooks. I'm currently a Preschool teacher but my dream is to teach Elementary school students. I have two kids: my daughter Rosalina and cat son, Alexander. In my free time, I like to relax with a bag of jalapeño kettle corn chips, a cup of mint tea and a nice movie. Pre and I met in high school. We lived across the street from each other, rode the same bus and had AP studio art & psychology class together. I remember her making me laugh during my finals which unfortunately landed me a lower grade, but we ain't holding no grudges over here. Pre has always supported and stuck up for me. She's really shown me the value of true friendship. She's a beautiful and strong woman that I look up to in many ways.
Courtney Brooks (Cont.)
Bridesmaid
She'll go out of her way for the people she cares about and is one of the funniest people I've ever met. I can always count on her to make me laugh, even on some of her hardest days. Daniel is the same way and I believe he would walk miles for the people he cares about. I've seen Daniel change in so many positive ways since being with Preana. I'm so proud and happy that through all these years, these two have stuck together. There is no one more deserving to be together, than them. They really do compliment each other. Congrats ya'll! I'm truly happy for you two and am honored to be apart of your special moment.
