The son of Willie Walter and Robbie Lee Walter-Venters. Dad thank you so much for everything you have taught me.

Raylen Walter
Groomsman
I was 17 when Raylen was born. At that time my father was still teaching me how to be my own man. I was still learning and I went through a lot at that time. Little did Raylen know, but at that time, Ray was emotional support. Things that I went through at the time Ray was there to make me laugh, give me a hug and sometimes as tears would flow. He'd dry them. I learned a lot while trying to be father to him. I thank God for the relationship we have but i'm mostly thankful for him. Love you son, Daddies big boy!
Bre Walter
Groomswoman
Bre aka Da Genereal, my little big sister. Before school started for me, Bre was my ace boon coon. Bre has always been a comparison to a mother elephant. A protector and nurturer she is (in my Yoda voice!) You can count on her having your back. You have always been there for your God son Boston since the gender revel!! Love you Bresh!!
Kenneth Davis
Groomsman
Ken is my cousin. My Aunt Sherrie’s youngest son, but he more like my brother. Me and Ken’s love, knowledge and growth in Yah is the core of our bond. History of our people, health and ministry are other interest we have in common. But sports, you don’t won’t to be in the room with us. When any sports are on. Especially when the AFC Kings, my COLTS, are playing them texans👎🏾🤣 Love you cuz!!
Jeremy Joseph
Groomsman
Jeremy, better yet Jojo, met in the 2nd semester of 6th grade. We were actually in Ms. Stiegler's band class when we hit it off. We all know how hard the transition is transferring schools. Well Jojo made that extremely easy for me. But that was Jojo's strong point. He was that person that'll make you realize what you thought was such a big issue, it really wasn't! And it was like this from the 6th grade to our junior year in high school.And even now! Jojo was also known for keeping me in line. I could count him to keep it real and not be one-sided. Letting me know when I'm in the wrong and when Im right. He hated so much that I had transferred to another school for my senior year. But we didn't let that ruin our friendship. He's also my oldest son's God Father! Love ya bro!
Berry Bryant
Groomsman
HA George, TOMATOES!! LMAO, IYKYK! Me and Berry met our senior year. We were in Mrs. Garrett's EnglishIV class. And this lady would use me and Berry for everything. We eventually became friends. joined the history club, Men of Distinction, and we both joined the student council. Where we became President and Vice President. After graduation I moved to Memphis and Berry was there 2 weeks later. Memphis was so awesome we grew even closer during that time. Berry has been my confidant at many times. Always has been a great friend. Luv Ya George!
Lional Johnson
Groomsman
"Whoooa, wats happening' ya dig!" My big bro Lional, so I met him thru his wife Courtney, who is the reason me and E are together. The first time we met Courtney was frying Pork Chops and we was listening to Bounce Music(New Orleans Genre). And if you know me, you know I got Louisiana vibes running thru my veins. So we hit it off immediately. But we bonded even more because of the hardships we both were dealing with at the current time. We saw a lot of similarities in each other. Lional was someone I could definitely lean on. Him being a little older than me, he had seen what I was going thru already. Definitely my big bro 4 life, Love ya Brah!
Brian “Chris” Washington
Groomsman
Why are our relationships with our cousins so unique? Many people believe it’s because they can have a closer relationship with us than our siblings. Others compare cousins to best friends. Our cousins are some of the closest family members we have. Cousins are always there for us when we need them, and they can even help us find ourselves through their crazy antics. And my big cuz has been exactly that. Courtney Cox said that “Cousins are people that are ready-made friends, you have laughs with them and remember good times from a young age, you have fights with them but you always know you love each other, they are a better thing than brothers and sisters and friends cause they’re all pieced together as one!” Love you cuz! So happy that you’re apart of this special day!
Henry Jackson
Groomsman
Henry and I met when we were 4 yrs old. In the nursery at New Faith Missionary Baptist Church! Although we went to different schools we saw each other every weekend. You can basically say Henry has known me my whole life! Me and Henry are also much alike in a lot of ways, but our love for sports, bbq, whiskey, business, and Yahuadah; And the iron sharpens iron mentality is what strengthened our brotherhood over the years. Every up and down, he's been there. Even when he's in another country he'll try his best to call to be supportive or to check me right quick lol! He's also my daughters God Father! Love you Bruh!
