Wedding Party

No journey is walked alone. Meet our I DO CREW - the ones by our side then, now and always.

LUKE STEPHENS

Groom

"I know eternity with my Luke Stephens will be filled with love, support, and laughter. His genuine concern, patience, and attentiveness has only drawn me closer to him. He is my gift and I hope he always feels cherished. I’m excited to see what Jehovah has in store for us as we serve him wholeheartedly together." - Sade

BRIAN RESTREPO

Best Man

"While our friendship has only spanned a short time, I quickly knew Brian would become a friend I wanted to keep close by. He lives with a sincerity of heart, humility and discipline that I admire. We made many great memories during our time in Peru in 2024 and I look forward to sharing this special moment with him by my side." - Luke

DYLAN NECINA

Groomsman

"Me and 'Dilly Dilly' became brothers during our time together at Patterson and as members of 'The Squad'. Dilly is a friend who embodies compassion: ready to laugh, cry, or become whatever else his friends need him to be. I am grateful to share this moment with a spiritual man like Dylan." - Luke

BRIAN WASHINGTON

Groomsman

"BW...I owe this man so much. Since I landed back in North Carolina in 2020 Brian has been a source of support in every area of life. As my roommate for some 4 years, he has seen me through many iterations in my growth as a man. On good days and on bad days we act just like brothers. I deeply appreciate his patience, generosity and sense of humor over the years." - Luke

ROD GRAVES

Groomsman

"Rod is a friend who frequently checks in on his own initiave. He is always asking if he can do anything for me. Although his fly fashion sense and dance moves give me a run for my money, I always feel refreshed from our times together. He is a truly loyal friend." - Luke

SADE FOUNTAIN

Bride

"Although completely mesmerizing, Sade's spirituality has always been what impresses me the most. She often takes an initiative in serving others that I myself could overlook. She is a student at heart and pursues her life with a sense of passion. Her pure heart reassures me that whatever comes our way, Jehovah's standards will always reign supreme within her. Corals do not even begin to measure the priceless value of my soon-to-be capable wife (Pr. 31:10)." - Luke

CARISSA MANLEY

Maid of Honor

"I remember when she came to my high school senior night though she was a senior in college herself, no doubt drowning in work as a nursing major. I knew I had gained a friend. Years later, she is still supportive and always has my back. I couldn't imagine her not being along for this new chapter." - Sade

JORI PHILLIPS

Bridesmaid

"From rides to the meetings and conventions to our time at Carowinds when she commended me for squeezing Stella (my car) into a tiny opening in that crazy Charlotte traffic, I have so many memories with my girl as she always brings the fun. I can't wait to share one more big memory together!" - Sade

KRISTIN HORNE

Bridesmaid

"Always so sweet and supportive. I know when she's around, it's going to be a nice time. She makes a rainy and cold SMPW day bright and warm. Plus, our little runs to Chad's Chai never hurts either. We will be talking about the memories made during this time over a chai flight for sure!" - Sade

NAI ROGERS

Bridesmaid

"Caring, considerate, patient, and I could go on. She would sacrifice her Summer evenings to support me with evening service. Sometimes, it would just be her and I driving Stella through my territory. A lot of encouraging conversations and memories made. She is special to my heart and it makes me happy that she has joined this journey with me!" - Sade

FAQs

Question

What happens at a Wedding of Jehovah's Witnesses?

Answer

The main feature is the wedding talk, which is about 30 minutes long and delivered by a minister of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The warm and upbuilding discussion emphasizes how the Bible can help the couple have a lasting, loving, and happy marriage. The ceremony may be followed by a social gathering, or reception. Please visit JW.ORG for more information.
