My aunt, my cousin both is fine with me. You brought me from this little island called Barbados 🇧🇧 to this country I now call home. I enjoy all of our moments, all the laughs, the food, the love. Your this strong, independent, kick-ass go getter! I admire your strength, your courage, your resilience and your baked Mac & cheese pie. You will stand by my side as I make my way down the isles. Similar to you standing by my side as I moved to a whole new country and embarked on a new journey. Now you will enter this part of chapter with me too. All I can say is thank you.. I love you..

Shaheeda Santiago
Bridesmaid
This hot Mamacita, came into my life unexpectedly 13yrs ago! One late night working the weekend shift at sear’s I needed assistance closing my department. I walked over to the cosmetic section to ask my fellow co-worker for help. And this beautiful young lady smiled and explained everything to me. Who knew that day would change the course of our lives ❤️ from matching Chevy’s to becoming my best friend, my extended sister. So many moments & memories I would be writing ✍️ forever. Her loyalty, trustworthiness, and honest is unmatched! I Love her always..
Salena Jackman
Bridesmaid
My gorgeous sister.. the one that drove me crazy and challenged my patience. My best memory of us, is when I was going through a hard time in my life and you would sit outside my bedroom door and sing 🎶 ( do you wanna build a snowman from the movie frozen) You always went above and beyond and I love you for that! It’s been my pleasure helping raise you and Briana, it shaped me into the woman I am now and the woman you have become. My diamond 💎 in the rough.. Shine bright
Mary Hamilton
Bridesmaid
From a co-worker to a close friend! I appreciate the way you used to drag me out of bed at 12am to attend “R&B throwback” & “ Reggae” nights at the club 😩 You always reminded me how to have fun, be young, & live in the moment! Our trips, escapades, your good cooking, everything I love about you and more.

Kevan Northern
Best Man
This was a pretty easy decision for me. Kevan is my first brother/sibling We have been close since day 1. Being the oldest out of 8 siblings held a lot of responsibilities and you were my first best friend and also helper growing up lol. We did everything together from sports to taking trips to the city on the metro north to Glow in the dark concert. Kev you have always been one that I could rely on for pretty much anything and inspire me to travel and see the world . You have a loving heart and would give your last to anyone in need. Love you till the end and beyond and I’m grateful to have you as my best man on this big day.

Juan Jones
Groomsman
Me and Juan met about 5 years ago at work. I had recently moved to Portsmouth Virginia and Juan was new to the job and I was new to the area. When he transferred to my shift we instantly became close friends not to mention everyone would ask if we were brothers lol. Since day 1 Juan has been nothing but a loyal friend to me. He’s been like a brother to me and I appreciate and value your character morals and friendship. Look forward to the many jokes laughs and just good times ahead of us. I’m proud to have you as one of my groomsman.
D.A Osbourne
Groomsman
A Yeeeeer Duane aka D.A , Duane and I met around our junior year of high school. I met him through Red we would eat at the same lunch tables and joke and joke. Later me an D.A started working at the same place after we graduated and our relationship grew. One thing I can say about Duane is he’s been the same person I met almost 19years ago. From his phone number to his laugh, he always kept it 100. Proud of you and all your accomplishments and blessed to have you as a lifetime brother and friend.
Joseph Campbell
Groomsman
My boy RED, Me and Joseph (RED) Grew up around the same neighborhood just like Jarrett and Moe. We all use to hoop at Epps elementary. It wasn’t until my junior year in High-school where me and Red became friends. Our relationship blossomed a couple years back when we reunited at Duane and his wife’s wedding. Red you have always been the one of the most honest, straight forward fly and creative ppl I know and I admire your fearlessness when it comes to doing you. Our relationship over the years have come a long way and I’m honored to be your baby girl Tommy’s Godfather and blessed to have you as not only my groomsman but brother 💯
Maurice Jackson “Mo”
Groomsman
Mooooe! My Guy! Me and MOE met when I touched down in VA he’s the original day1. MOE lived in the 3rd court and we lived in the 4th court, MOE was my first friend in va, we rode bikes everywhere, played manhunt, basketball, football even got into trouble together. One thing about MOE is he is very loyal and dependable he’s always been a man of his word and stood for what he believed in. Moe has always been the most humble people I know and he’s also a Jackson and Giants fan so we were born family lol. I’m thankful to have you as a groomsman and brother for life.

Jarrett, Dep, Hobe, my Guy. Me and Jarrett met at the neighborhood basketball court around 6th grade. Jarrett was always into music fashion and sports which instantly made us friends lol. As the year’s past we went to different high schools but for my junior and senior year I returned to my neighborhood high school where our friendship flourished. Your one of the flyest and knowledgeable people I know when it comes to sports fashion and music. You’ve always been a stand up guy with a good heart, someone I can come to for advice and definitely a good convo and laugh.
