Wedding Party
Jasmine
Maid of Honor
I’ve known the bride, my little sister, since the moment she was born. How could I forget? I even thought my Halloween in ’93 was ruined (inside joke). Over the years, we’ve shared a bond that has only grown stronger. Whether we were laughing, arguing, or supporting each other through life’s ups and downs, she’s always been by my side. I have so many favorite memories with the bride and groom, but my top pick has to be our first couples’ trip to Cedar Point. Despite the sickness and rain, we had such an amazing time—one I’ll never forget. I can’t wait to create even more memories together in the future. I pray that God continues to bless your union and your marriage. Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness! 🥂

I first met Sade at Woodmore Elementary School, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. One of my favorite memories with her has to be the days when we would throw parties and travel together as kids—those moments were pure joy. Over the years, Sade and I have grown through so many phases, seasons, and stages of life. She has been there for me through the highest highs and the lowest lows. Our relationship has been ever-growing and constantly evolving for 23 years now. When it comes to the wedding party, I’m most excited to bring the fun! I’d say I’m just a sweet girl who loves to laugh and keep the energy light. Judging by the way people are always laughing around me, I’ll also assume I’m pretty funny. 😂 What I love most about Sade and Cavin is the way they show up for each other—it’s truly inspiring and makes them stand out as friends and as a couple. I’m incredibly honored and excited to walk alongside them as they enter this next beautiful chapter of love and life. 🤍
Lantrese
Bridesmaid
My name is Lantrese, and I met my girl Sade back in 2014 at Towson University. We were both science majors and bonded over our Biodiversity class. Since then, we’ve been besties! Sade, Lisandra, and I are like three peas in a pod, and we’ve shared so many fun memories together. One of my favorite nights was a fun outing in DC where we randomly ran into Cavin. The whole night was unforgettable—we had such a great time together! I love making people laugh, so I’ll definitely be bringing my lighthearted and goofy personality to the wedding party. I also enjoy singing, so if anyone needs a love song serenade, just let me know. :) I’m beyond excited to celebrate Sade and Cavin’s beautiful love story, and I feel so honored to be part of Sade’s special day <3
Amber
Bridesmaid
I met Sade in the fourth grade at the great Woodmore Elementary! LOL. We were inseparable and so much alike that people even called us twins. Although our school journey together ended in seventh grade, we’ve stayed connected over the years—whether near or far. We’ve always celebrated each other’s wins and showed up when it mattered most. Now, I have the honor of standing by her side for one of the biggest moments of her life. May God bless your marriage and guide you both through every season. Cavin, welcome to the family—you’re officially my brother now, and I’ve got you. I know you’ll take great care of my precious friend. And as someone who’s always ready to dance at any time or place, I’ll see you on the floor! 😎
Lisandra
Bridesmaid
My name is Lisandra, and I met Sade while we were both attending Towson University. As biology majors, we had organic chemistry together and quickly became friends. It wasn’t long before Lantrese, Sade, and I formed our own little trio. Cavin even had to come to our rescue on more than a few occasions! I’m a big fan of music, and I can’t wait to see the happy couple dance the night away together. Here’s to celebrating their beautiful love story!
Ashley
Bridesmaid
Hello everyone! I’m Ash, and you can pretty much say I’m Sade’s cousin! Fun fact: I gave myself the title of Sade’s favorite girl cousin. 😉 As a member of the Murray bridal party, my role is to cover both Sade and Cavin in prayer—before and after the altar. Understanding the covenant promises and blessings of the Lord when it comes to marriage is something that’s very close to my heart. I’m beyond excited to be part of their journey to the altar and to witness this beautiful chapter of their love story unfold.
Mikal
Bridesmaid
Sade and I met when she transferred to Towson in the fall of 2013—her, the quiet transfer student, and me, the sleepy but well-intentioned sophomore who sat in the front row and still retained nothing. Shoutout to Blake for introducing us as study partners, because we’ve been attached at the hip—and the brain—ever since. We’ve seen each other through every major adult milestone so far, and I am endlessly blessed because of it. I met Cavin shortly after I met Sade, and witnessing their journey to this moment brings tears to my eyes even as I write this. They just make sense. From nights at the Palisades baking cookies and speaking in made-up languages to hosting (and winning) cook-offs, Cavin and Sade have become my home away from home. As Cavin would say, “Mikal is not a guest.” Consider me the permanent (but proud) third wheel. Come May 31st, if you see someone in a dress carrying a Costco-sized box of tissues, that’s me (1000% the crier of the group. fun fact!). Watching my best friend marry her best friend—my bonus fiancé—is going to be one for the ages.
Natasha
Bridesmaid
I met Sade during my first semester after transferring to Towson University, thanks to a family member who thought we’d make great friends—and they were absolutely right! From tackling chemistry courses together in undergrad to Sade becoming my child’s godmother, our bond has grown stronger over the past 10+ years. We’ve shared countless laughs, major milestones, and so many amazing memories along the way. Some of my favorite memories with Sade and Cavin include our couples’ trips to Miami and Houston—always full of fun and laughter. If I had to describe my relationship with Sade, I’d say it’s unwavering, comical, adventurous, and always up for a good time. A few fun facts about me: my favorite candy is anything sour, I’m left-handed, I love 90’s R&B, and I’m passionate about traveling.
Coreen
Bridesmaid
Hello everyone! I’m Coreen, and I have the honor of being the groom sister. I first met Sade at Bowie Homecoming! Some of my favorite memories with the couple are from our annual trips together. It’s always filled with laughter, deep conversations, and, of course, so much fun! I’m so grateful for those moments we share and for the bond we’ve created over time. I’m a fan of a good TV series and a great movie, and I’m confident that the future ahead of Cavin and Sade will be just as filled with wonderful stories—full of joy, love, and endless adventures. Wishing you the most beautiful and fulfilling future together.
Charnette
Bridesmaid
Hello, I am Charnette and I am the sister of the groom. I met Sade when I came home to visit family in Maryland and Cavin brought her to the house. I love traveling, puzzles, reading, and sports. My favorite memories with the couple are taking a cruise and our yearly meetups when everyone tries to get together and we just have a great time. I am excited about the wedding and hope Cavin and Sade have a long and prosperous marriage!
CJ
Best Man
My brother Cavin’s engagement to Sade is a true love story that started in the most unexpected place – a Bowie football game. I first met Sade when she was there, fully in support of Cavin, and I could immediately tell they had something special. Their relationship is like a perfect mix of fun and support – they laugh together, cheer each other on, and truly have each other’s backs. The best part about them? Their ability to communicate, which seems like a rare superpower these days! For me, family is everything, and it’s honestly a blessing to have Sade join ours. She’s not just a perfect match for Cavin, but she’s become a wonderful addition to the whole family. We’re excited, we’re happy, and I guess we’ll have to find a way to share Cavin with her now – but that’s a small price to pay for the joy she’s bringing into our lives. Cheers to love, laughter, and a lifetime of happiness together!

My brother Cavin’s engagement to Sade is a true love story that I happy to be apart of. I first met Sade in New York when they came in town for a Weeknd. My favorite memory is a recent trip to London.

I met Cavin playing football at Bowie state University and we been cool ever since. My favorite memory would have to be a trip to Toronto with the guys. I wish the newlyweds happiness and prosperity.

I met Cavin through my wife who happens to be his sister and I met Sade when I came to Maryland for a family event. My favorite memories involve game nights and just hanging out with each other. I hope the couple has a prosperous marriage and enjoys their day to the fullest.

I have known Cavin for over a decade, he is the little big brother to my wife so you know how that went when we first met lol. I’ve had the pleasure to watch Cavin and Sade grow over the years and has been a reminder of what partnership looks like. Wishing you more happiness on your journey!

I met Cav in 2012 when I transferred back home to play football at Bowie. Funny enough, it was right around the same time he and Sade met—give or take a few months. One of my favorite memories? Him dragging me up to Towson to bang on her door because they were beefing. I’m part of an exclusive and elite group that knows the real Cavin 🥳 Most people see the organized and professional guy, but we know the truth—he loves to party just like us… at least until about 12:30, then he’s looking for the exit. As for me, my energy depends on the time of day. One minute, I’m full throttle, the life of the party. The next, I’m moving in the shadows. Just gotta catch me at the right moment.

They say when we look for a partner, our search unconsciously travel the path of fulfillment. Johari’s window explains our knowledge of self: what’s known and unknown to ourselves and from others. When I met Cavin over a decade ago. The amount that he didn’t know about himself was vast, but extremely apparent to others. At this time, what became known to me and what was unknown to Cavin at this time — and certainly over the years: I had just met someone who valued togetherness, respect, camaraderie, loyalty, and most fitting - commitment. Through these core values one of my best friends introduced me to his (now) fiancé, Sade. I’ve only been around her a handful of times, but vicariously learned her through Cavin. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Sade has been the constant that allows Cavin to be his best self and to always show up 100%. As for me, I’m the therapist friend. Not the social worker that accidentally landed in therapy, but the therapist that enjoy Breneè Brown and Irvin Yalom books && find humor in subtle Sigmund Freud jokes (did you hear the one about the boy who had an Oedipus complex). With great pride I’ll always try to assist Cavin & Sade come back to the feeling of matrimony. For as the decades flee, stagnation (as Erik Erikson would say), inevitably takes place. I bring to this wedding a commitment to create lasting memories, echoing laughter, and chapters of inside jokes!
Javan
Groomsman
I met Sade and Cavin at Bowie State University in 2012, and from then on, they’ve been family. My name is Javan Carter, and I just love people. I want everyone to have fun and choose happiness. Cavin and I met during Fall 2011 Bowie State Football Training Camp—at dinner, where we realized we were roommates. That turned into four years of living together. I met Sade in 2012 or 2013 at our apartment, and from the start, their connection was undeniable. They looked at each other the way two people do when they’re enamored. One of my favorite things about them is their consistency. Every time I did something wild, Sade gave me the look, and Cavin gave me the talk. This has been happening for over a decade, and it never gets old. Our relationship? Family. No secrets, full acceptance, unconditional love. I’m bringing a monetary gift (because priorities) and whatever support they need. Fun fact: I didn’t believe in horoscopes until I realized I’m a super Virgo—analytical to the core. Also, I mastered cooking curry because of Cavin. His mom is Jamaican, so I tried making curry chicken. His response? "Yeah… this ain’t curry chicken, bruh." Challenge accepted. Cavin and Sade chose each other. They love each other the right way—and honestly, they’re even starting to look alike. I’m here to have fun, reminisce, and make new memories. Let’s celebrate!

One of my favorite memories with them was on June 11th last year. Being observant, I could see the special bond they share—their love is undeniable, and their compatibility is effortless. For the wedding party, I’m bringing good turn-up vibes so everyone is ready to celebrate the right way! A few fun facts about me: I love basketball, eating, spending time with family, and fashion. If I had to sum up my personality, I’d say I’m quiet, observant, and funny. What makes Cavin and Sade stand out? The way they support each other and explore the world together. Their relationship is built on partnership, adventure, and genuine love.

I met Cavin over 10 years ago. Throughout the years, we have built our own separate bond. Overtime we have become more like brothers than friends, and I’ll always consider him family. In the time we've known each other, we've all created memories that we're gonna laugh at for years.. like that fall on the rocks lol (inside joke). And we got a lot more money to make and memories to create! Congrats, my guy.
