Wedding Party

Samone Pugh

Bride

The love of my life, my little big sister, my heart in human form. My motivator, my fiancé. She is literally my twin. We act exactly the same which can be a bit of a hassle at times, but she’s my big baby. I couldn’t imagine where I’d be without her. She is literally any and everything you could think of as a spouse. She’s the most beautiful human being I’ve ever laid my eyes on; always down to have a good time. She’s never switched up and has always given me the real, but always had my back at the same time. Some may say she’s the song bird of my generation. I love her to the moon and back.

Darian Hale

Groom

Darian is the love of my life, but most importantly my bestest friend; he is truly my other half. Sure it can be annoying when he constantly finishes my sentences, says the same thing as me at the same time, and sings the same parts of the song as me, but I can honestly say that there isn't anyone who knows me better than him. He is caring, affectionate, romantic, and kindhearted. He’s adventurous and has opened me up to so many new experiences, like cliff diving at Rick’s Cafe in Jamaica. I can always count on him to protect me, like when he saved me from ravenous wild cats in Mexico. Anyone who knows Darian can attest that he is the life of the party and can put a smile on anyone's face. He still gives me butterflies to this day. I love him so much and can't wait to marry him!

Albert Harcum

Best Man

Al is my best friend. I met him five years ago. I was working at Footaction and he was working at Kids Foot Locker. We automatically became cool with one another after dropping the day's profit off. Everyday after that became a battle of, “Yo, I’m trying to get like you”. Ever since then, we were locked in. Through the ups and downs of my life, he is right there with me. He’s always motivating me to elevate and get to the bag and I appreciate him for it.

Mishawn Conyers

Bridesmaid

Mishawn has been in my life since I started high school. She was on the varsity volleyball team and I was on the JV team. She always made sure that I was home by my midnight curfew, even if that meant speeding. She always looked out for me and through the years, our friendship blossomed. She is one of the most supportive and kindhearted people that I know. I can always count on her to have my back.

Gregory Williams Jr.

Best Man

Greg is my older brother. It’s far too many stories to be told which includes the stuff we’ve broken and gotten in trouble for. The countless hours we spent together on the game. The sports we played together; even getting our first apartment together. We’ve always been inseparable. For crying out loud we went to all the same schools together. He has always been a true big brother, a protector, a provider, and an advice giver. He’s been there every step of the way, that’s my bruddah for life.

Samya Pugh

Bridesmaid

Mya is my first little sister. We are complete opposites but are somehow always on the same page. We constantly think and say the same things at the same time. I can always count on her to be the Messy to my Bessy and my hype man. And most importantly, she acknowledges me as the queen that I am (Beyoncé). She can get under my skin like no one else can, but I wouldn’t trade her or her terrible jokes for the world.

Anthony Williams Jr.

Best Man

Jizzle is my partner in crime, he’s been there since pamper days. He is my first cousin. We have done everything together as well. Jizzle and I have been tight for as long as I can remember. I literally spent every summer over his house as a child. He’s always had my back through anything right or wrong and has been a true ride or die. One of my favorite moments with him is when we invited boat loads of girls to the Owings Mills movie theater, and every weekend we got stood up. We ate Sarku Japan to cope with the pain. Although he’s my cousin, he’s more like a brother and I love him for life.

Samani Pugh

Bridesmaid

Samani is my youngest sister aka my mini me. My sister Scorpio and I are constantly in competition with one another. Our days are filled with singing contests, krump battles, and impersonations. Even though she’s always trying to be better than me, I know for a fact that there isn’t anything she wouldn’t do to make me happy. I honestly couldn’t imagine life without her.

Joshua Turner

Groomsman

I met Josh four years ago while working at Footaction. We’ve been cool since the day we met. He’s a real low key guy but loves the flashy things in life; he reminds me of myself. He was always available to come through and show love at the parties that I hosted. He would also just come kick it with me and chop it up when we both had free time. He’s a real good friend!

Clifford Ward III

Groomsman

Cliff has been my mans since tenth grade. He’s always been the blatant one out of my high school friends, but that’s what you got to love about him. He’s always right there whenever you may need a favor or an outrageous story. I’m appreciative to have the privilege of having a friend like him for so long. I thought no one was as crazy as me, he’s a real character; but hey, that’s Cliff!

Steven Mack

Groomsman

I remember meeting Steve my tenth grade year at Coppin. However, it wasn’t until twelfth grade in Ms. Grove's class that we really became cool. After we graduated, we went to Morgan State together. He was always there for me during the times we struggled in college and needed something to eat. He was also there when my car was broke down and I needed a way to get to work. He drove me all the way to Delaware to get the new car that I have now. For crying out loud, he gave Mone and I free games and shoes at Bowlero. Shout out to my most dependable friend who’s always down for whatever!

Brandon Ingram

Groomsman

I’ve known Brandon since ninth grade but it wasn’t until tenth grade that we became cool. We were really tight in high school. We took all the same classes. We cut all those classes together, took joy rides, and always tried to map out some type of scheme to have a good time. We may not talk everyday but when we do, it’s as though we’re picking right back up where we left off. Brandon has always been right there to give good and logical advice. I’m appreciative to have him as a friend.

Jason Scott Jr.

Usher

Jason is my little cousin but it would be more accurate in saying he’s my big little brother. Jason has ran boys away from me for the majority of my life. I never understood who he thought he was. However, I ultimately knew that he always had my back and my best interest at heart. He can be the most annoying person that I know, but I love him.

Aaron Parham

Usher

I met Vino through my cousin Jizzle back in high school. Vino is one of the realest dudes I know. Always true to himself, and never cares what anybody thinks. He’s always been down for a good time, whether it’s going to Loafers, or playing basketball. He’s a real cool dude.

Bruce Pendles Jr.

Usher

Bruce is Greg’s step brother so I look at him like he’s my brother, big brother Bruce. Ever since I’ve known Bruce, it’s never been a dull moment. Bruce is one of the funniest people I know. He’s always ready for anything. Whether we’re on the game or just chilling, we talk at least three days out of the week. That’s my bro.

Sanaa Thomas

Flower Girl

Syncere Thomas

Bell Ringer

Cydney Williams

Flower Girl

Shawn Hale Jr.

Ring Bearer

Stepfanie Pugh

Mother of the Bride

Mommy aka Big Stepf is my ride or die. To this day, she still wraps and pins my hair up regardless of how she’s feeling. I honestly don’t know what I’ll do when I move out. Her and my father have been in competition since day one to be my biggest fan. She’s always motivating me to be the best version of me, even when I can’t see it for myself. She is the most loving and compassionate person that I know. There isn’t anything she wouldn’t do to see everyone around her happy. She’s constantly sacrificing to ensure that everyone is squared away. She’d give the last of her last, the food off of her plate, and the clothes off of her back. I look up to her in hopes that I can one day be as good a woman, wife, and mother.

Deon Pugh

Father of the Bride

Daddy is my real life Superman. He is our leader, protector, provider, and so much more. He is the most intelligent person I’ve ever known. His thirst for knowledge is truly admirable and it pushes me to want to know more. My father is everything that a man should be. For my entire life, he has set the perfect example of a man, husband, and father. He’s selfless, thoughtful, affectionate, and caring. He’s as apologetic as he is forgiving. And that’s shown me that a man should never be ashamed of showing his emotions and admitting his wrongs. My father’s approval absolutely means the world to me and I can only hope that he’s proud of me through every step of my journey.

Keisha Williams

Mother of the Groom

My mother, Mama K, is the nurturer of all nurturers. She’s a loving, kindhearted, God fearing woman. She's always been one to put her kids and family first before herself. My mom has always loved me unconditionally and given me things even when she didn’t have it. She’s always down to have a good time, if it’s between dancing, chasing after my little sister, or grabbing a bite to eat. She’s the best mom a guy could have.

Gregory Williams Sr.

Father of the Groom

My father has made me into the man that I am today. He’s always been the type to not say much, but his presence is always felt. If you know him, you know that you’re in for more than a few jokes and some bomb food. He has always been a helping hand in my life and is always willing to kick game to me. He raised my brother and I with tough love, but it’s helped to make me ready for this crazy world we live in today.
