Clint & Chelsea
Wedding Party
Thomas "TJ" Smith
Best Man
I've known Clint since we were about 5 years old. It's safe to say a majority of my major life events have involved Clint. What makes us such good friends is the loyalty from humble beginnings to the men we are today. We have helped influence each other through many growing pains. I remember the first time I heard Chelsea's name, almost 10 years ago, and I've really been able to counsel them and continue a friendship with both.

Chelsea and I met 26 years ago and we've made the most amazing transition from sister to friend as we have grown older and it's been an incredible ride. Chelsea blesses my life daily and most of the time I'm sure she has no clue. If I need to talk, she's there. If I need to vent without judgment, she's there. Chelsea understands how to be a friend and how to love and in turn it makes you do the same. I love that I have someone in my corner at all times and I was fortunate to be born into her life. From education, to club nights, and now child rearing Chelsea is my go to girl! I love my sister and our ever growing, always blossoming relationship. She is a special woman with an abundant heart. I 'm so grateful for my sister and I cannot wait to celebrate her nuptials in a few months!!

I met Rod on May 4-5,1985. I was cleaning his Sh*t up then and I'm still putting up with his sh*t now. LOL! We are first cousins, but were raised as brothers in the same household, with our grandmother. Throughout our lifetime living in Warm Springs, GA to college to Decatur, we have always lived together. When we didn’t have a thing, we always had each other. I've literally known him from boy to a man and I couldn't be more proud of him than I am today.

Matron of Honor
I met Chelsea at Albany State in 2007 and from day one she has always been the life of the party! From random road trips, to becoming roommates, to our apartment catching fire, to battling Toni and Mia B. in dance offs! LOL. I even remember us struggling to put together Cayson crib. Chelsea was almost 9 months pregnant, barely reading instructions but looking at the pictures instead. I didn’t know what I was doing either, but one thing I do know, she would do the same for me. She’s has always been there for me, defining what true friendship really means. I'm beyond happy to be apart of this special moment, witnessing her become Mrs. Clint Parks! I am honored to serve as her Matron of Honor and pray that the Lord blesses their union as they embark on this amazing journey together!

20+ years ago, I was blessed with my first best friend, Chelsea. One snowy night in 2010, embodies our relationship the most. We were taking groceries to my mom's childcare center, but the steep hill was covered in ice! I said, “We have to slide down this?" A look of uncertainty and fear fell over Chelsea, something I’d never seen! She said “I’m not feeling well, I don’t think I should slide down there." I said, “You’re pregnant?" 9 months later, came Cayson. That’s the kind of relationship Chelsea and I have always had. if I was gonna skip school, she was coming to sign me out, if I was gonna drink alcohol, she was gonna pop the bottle. My partner in crime, thrill seeker, and most of all my best friend. I am elated to watch this union take place and even more thankful to be a part of it.

Clint and I met through a mutual friend, JC, when they played AAU basketball together. We didn't get close until our junior and senior year of high school at McNair, in the early 2000's. And since then, the rest is history. We've had so many great times and even better memories. Clint doesn't know this, but I truly admire the man he's becoming. I'm so proud of him and Chelsea, congratulations, once again!
Chelsea Holly
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and I met playing softball at Hurt Road Park in 7th grade. We only knew of each other at the time because both of our names were Chelsea and our last names started with a H. 4 years later at Marietta High, Chelsea and I became instant best friends. My parents instantly became like hers and her family like mine. She got me drunk for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd time, LOL. People referred to us as “ The Chelsea’s” or Chelsea Hi and Chelsea Ho ( I obviously got the short end of that nickname stick). In 11th grade, we planned a big end of the year party. We decided to shoot a promo flyer in white bikinis and gold stilettos. They. Went. Viral! Sadly, the school took disciplinary action and so did my Dad. Chelsea was the sister that I didn’t have in high school and luckily she still is now.

I've known Clint for 20+ years. We went to McNair High School together, but I was much older than him. When I would go back to the high school games to show support, Clint name would always come up as being one of the top players in basketball and football in Dekalb County. Over time, we built a brotherly bond, playing pick up ball, hanging out, and spending countless hours talking about life. He refers to my sons as nephews and they respond to him as Uncle Coach Clint. He helps coach both of my AAU teams, mainly Atlanta Top Flight. Clint is a very respectable young man, and I believe he’ll be a very respectable husband. He’s already an amazing father. To Clint and Chelsea, remember to love each other and keep Christ first. May God bless and protect your Union for many years to come!

Chelsea and I met either at church or a high school sporting event through our mutual BFF, Chelsea Holley. On one random summer day and Chelsea and I decided to meet after summer school to go shopping. Nothing too intense, it was more so "window shopping" instead. Well, window shopping turned into theft by taking LOL. We got shoes, shirts, and accessories. We got caught, called to the back office, and the police came. The worst part about it, we had the money for the items! We learned our lesson and never did that again. Over the years, we look back and crack up about how we were hard-core criminals in our teens! I am sure our mothers are still pissed. Over the last decade some of my best memories were made with Chelsea and I cannot wait to make more! Love you Sis, and Congrats!

Clint and I met back in the day playing city league ball, until he moved to Atlanta, GA. In January 2006, we reconnected at Albany State University. Clint was the first person to pick me up from South Hall in his "Heavy Chevy." From there, we became brothers. We've been through it all, together, no matter the situation I can always count on Clint to have my back and vice versa. #MBK

Chelsea and I met in 2008 at Albany State University through our mutual friend, Toni Clemons. From there, not only did we become college roommates, but we also became the best of friends. We've experienced countless house parties and kickbacks, concerts, girl-trips, brunch, lunch, and dinner dates, and girls-night out, before, during, and after she became Super Mom. I truly admire Chelsea's self-driven nature and her ability to make Motherhood and Adulting look easy, simultaneously! They say steel sharpens steel and I'm forever grateful for being introduced to Chelsea via Toni, because she motivates me like no other and I'm so honored to stand by her side to witness this union. I wish many years of inseparable and distinct love to Clint and Chelsea. Congratulations!

I met Rod when I was attending Gordon College at a fashion show. That was 14 years ago. We went from knowing each other through Ty, to me actually being closer to Rod. Rod is like the younger brother I didn't ask for, but love the same. We got tight in Albany and our time always included drinking and partying. I'm proud of his progress from where we were to where he is today. LOL! I couldn't be happier for Rod and Chelsea!

Chelsea and I met in 2008 at the Unsinkable Albany State University. It was her freshman year and my junior year. We met in Holley Hall while in Public Speaking class. The professor assigned an group assignment and we immediately chose one another to partner with. I saw so much of myself in her, and from that day forward we’ve been inseparable. I feel so very blessed to stand by your side on your big day Chelsea! Love you girlfriend!

I first met Clint when we were selected for a AAU team, The Mark Trail War Eagles. I always thought he was too big for his age, but I guess his paperwork checked out! LOL. As we competed in numerous tournaments, our friendship grew stronger! Before you know it, I practically moved in.Clint has always been someone who’s had nice things, and if he shared a bond with you, it was nothing for him to give u the shirt off his back, literally, I’ve seen him do it! I really admired his love for the people he called friends! It wasn’t in his words it was in his actions and I love him for that. He has always been the same guy from Mark Trail, McNair High School, University of Cincy, ASU, and now and I really respect him for that! I salute you my guy! Off the top!

Since meeting Chelsea in 6th grade, 18+ years ago, not only do we have countless childhood secrets, but we’ve also created so many memories. We’ve seen it all together, from stealing her mom’s truck to go joy riding to watching her create a beautiful family. From skipping the first day of 12th grade to go to the mall to get an outfit for the first football game to watching her birth her first son while successfully finishing college, which is a proud moment I’ve admired the most. These are the type of memories I’ll cherish forever. I’ve been #TeamClint for some time now, so I’m beyond happy to be a part of their special day!

Clint and I met when he was in the 7th grade and I was in the 8th. Our love for basketball connected us to being more than just teammates, but brothers.

Chelsea and I have been friends for the last 7 years. We knew of each other through our mutual friend Chelsea Holley, who had mention our names to each other numerous times. So, inevitably we felt as if we had already known each other although we had never met. We finally got acquainted during the peak of Instagram when Chelsea being the socialite that she is, requested me. One weekend she was in town visiting from Albany and she invited me to go to the mall and of course I was down! It’s been history ever since! I have to say I think it’s the Sagittarius in us! I’m so happy to be able to celebrate her big day with her! Especially considering I’m the friend she’s know the least amount of years. It’s an honor and a privilege to be apart of my girl's BIG day!
