Wedding Party
Sandra E. Harris Patterson
Bride
When I say I'd marry him again, I meant it. Glenn has had my heart since the first time around. I'm happy to pick up where we left off. It hasn't been easy to get to this point, and it has had a few bumps but with God's grace and mercy we are doing it again. What to the kids say, My Man, My Man, My Man!
Glenn A. Patterson
Groom
I knew she was a good woman, and I let her get away once and I wasn't going to make that mistake again. I had to put a ring on it. We are restarting our lives together for good.
Alanna Denise McWilliams
Maid of Honor
Alanna has been my ride or die from day one. She stood up with us the first and now she's back again. My Mini Me has been my cheerleader since day one. She is open and honest, caring, loving and the best Mom God could have chosen for my Mini Me's.
Kennedi Elaine McWilliams
Honor Attendant
Mini Mini Me #1, it is an honor to have my granddaughters escort me in and give me away to their G-Pop. Even though we had much discussion on what giving me away really meant. Kennedi is a little shy and was extremely hesitant to "give me way", but we powered through it and she will be stunning as she walks me to the alter.
Avarie Denise Smith-Lumpkin
Honor Attendant
Mini Mini Me #2, is my precocious, witty, fireball of a granddaughter who cautiously agreed to escort me in and give me away to her G-Pop. If you know her, you know there was a lot of discussion before she agreed to do it. My babies don't play about their Gran.
Joelle Gaddis
Flower Girl
Joelle "Juicy" Gaddis is my youngest bonus baby who is going to bring a touch of cuteness to the role of flower girl. Get your cameras ready when she arrives on the scene.
Joel Gaddis
Ring Bearer
Joel "Joey" Gaddis, will be the most serious ring bearer you will ever see. Joel is the big brother to Joelle and my second youngest bonus baby. He is going to wow the crowd when he walks down the aisle looking handsome and debonair.
Kevin Young
Officiant
We have known Kevin and his beautiful wife Constance for nearly 40 years. They were with us when we got married the first time so it was truly a blessing when he agreed to perform the ceremony.
Joslyn Jackson
Wedding Planner
This lady has been the wind beneath my wings the entire time. I voluntold her she was going to help me with Patterson’s wedding. She reluctantly agreed and worked me into her jam packed schedule. She is nothing short of being an amazing human with impeccable organizational skills and take-charge attitude. Jos has given freely of her time with late nights at my house, unlimited phone calls & text messages. sage advice, calm spirit, harsh words and brutal honesty all while indulging in my crazy ideas and last minute changes. She is a drill sergeant, a creative sole, a problem solver and a way maker all in one package. Her attention to detail is unmatched. Please don’t challenge her, she has receipts and a tongue to match. She has been rocking with me for so many years and it’s a work of art to see her in full blown project mode. As my former pastor would say “if I had 10,000 tongues I couldn’t thank her enough.” So I’m warning ya’ll now and I mean this with nothing but love, she is the boss of me and wedding weekend she is driving the Patterson bus.
