Ronisha HarvilleRonisha Harville
Matron of Honor
What can I say about someone who feels more like a sister than a friend? We’ve been through so much together — the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Through every season of life, you are my constant: loyal, strong, supportive, and always just a phone call away. Having her by my side on this day means the world to me, and I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her right there with me.
Chastity SlocumbChastity Slocumb
Maid of Honor
Chastity is definitely family! She's not just my ride-or-die; she’s the mother of my godson, my constant through every up and down, and one of the most loyal, loving souls I know. We've grown up together, faced life together, and never let go of each other through all the thick and thin. I’m beyond grateful to have you by my side on this day — just like you've always been.
Natasha MitchellNatasha Mitchell
Bridesmaid
We met 13 years ago, and what started as a friendship quickly grew into something so much more. She’s my prayer partner, my business partner(lol) — and one of the most encouraging, dependable, and vibrant people in my life. Whether it’s sharing wisdom or lifting me up in prayer, she's always there. I’m so blessed to have her by my side on this special day.
Lakisha CoxLakisha Cox
Bridesmaid
Kisha was my very first friend when I moved to Atlanta 17 years ago — and she’s been by my side ever since. She’s my “here I come” friend when I need someone, my prayer partner, and one of the most genuine hearts I know. Whether I need a word of encouragement, a moment of laughter, or someone to show up without hesitation — she’s there. I’m so grateful for the sisterhood we’ve built and honored to have her stand with me on this journey.
YASHEKA SMITHYASHEKA SMITH
Bridesmaid
Sheka may be my cousin, but she’s always felt more like a baby sister. Supportive to the core, she’s the kind of person who shows up with a full heart and a helping hand — always there when I need her, without hesitation. She may look up to me, but truthfully, I admire her just as much. Watching her grow into the amazing woman she is today has been such a blessing, and I’m so proud to have her by my side on this special day.
SAWAYA SMITHSAWAYA SMITH
Bridesmaid
Sawaya is my baby cousin, but she’s so much more than that. She looks up to me, but the truth is, she inspires me too. She’s the light of the family and the life of the party — full of energy, joy, and love. Always there, always showing up with endless support and a heart full of care. Her presence is a gift, and I’m so honored to have her stand with me on this special day.
Corey RowlandCorey Rowland
Best Man
“I can still remember the day you came into the world. Through the years, we’ve done it all together — from taking those butt whoopings to partying like rock stars. I couldn’t ask for a better brother, always just one call away. You’ve been my best man for over 40 years, so it’s only fitting that you’re my best man today.”
Tony SimmonsTony Simmons
Groomsman
“Over the years, I’ve watched you grow from Short T to Tall T. You and Corey were just lil pups, and before I knew it, you were running with the big dogs. You’ve always been my little brother from another mother, and I truly appreciate you being by my side through this journey.”
Marcas ReidMarcas Reid
Groomsman
My day one! We’ve been kicking it since the sandbox days, and who would’ve thought those moments on the monkey bars would turn into a lifetime of memories that could fill a movie? Through it all, we’ve stayed tight like brothers. You’ve always checked in, and I truly appreciate you for that. You’ve stayed solid and true — from boys to men. Having you by my side means the world to me. (Fabolous R’s)
Dameon MitchellDameon Mitchell
Groomsman
From the start, our friendship has been something special. We may have met under unusual circumstances, but once we really connected, it felt like we had been brothers all along. I consider myself blessed to have good people in my life, and you are truly one of them. It’s rare to meet someone who so quickly becomes family, and I’ll always be grateful for the love, loyalty, and support you’ve shown me. Having you by my side means the world.
Lewis CoxLewis Cox
Groomsman
From day one, life with you has never had a dull moment. Always keeps me on my toes, whether it’s with a good game or some friendly competition. We’ve hit countless restaurants together, showing out every time — we’re still battling over the “Eat Daddy Crown” (lol). Thank you for being not just my brother, but also my friend, and for always showing me love. I couldn’t imagine this day without you by my side.
Aubrey RandellAubrey Randell
Groomsman
I met this guy back in middle school on the football field — flying across the O-line like Superman just to sack the quarterback. Right then, I knew he was my kind of crazy. From endless freestyle sessions to busting heads on the field, we built more than just memories; we built a brotherhood that will last a lifetime. Having you here by my side means the world.
Chloe RowlandChloe Rowland
Jr. Flower Girl
The youngest of the Rowland crew and the only niece — our scholar, dancer, and little princess with the biggest personality. There was no way we could imagine this day without you. You keep our family on its toes in the best way possible, shining in school, dazzling in dance, and lighting up every room you walk into. We are so proud of all that you are becoming, and we’re beyond blessed to have you highlight this special day with your beautiful smile. We love you so much, Chlo-Row!
A'Daeja RowlandA'Daeja Rowland
Daughter of Honor
My first born — the one who first taught me what it meant to be a father. I still remember that little girl who would fall out in the middle of the store when she couldn’t get her way, and even now, when I look at you as a grown woman, I still see her. I’m beyond proud of the woman you’ve become — strong, fearless, and determined to carve your own path. Because of you, I am “Dad,” and that will forever be my greatest blessing. I couldn’t imagine this day without you by my side.
Janicka CrockerJanicka Crocker
Daughter of Honor
Ever since you were a baby, that big brain of yours has been working overtime — always curious, always figuring things out. Through the years, I’ve watched you stay laser-focused on your goals and accomplish every single one of them. From composing piano music to speaking Spanish, playing lacrosse, and graduating at the top of your class from UGA — you’ve amazed us all. You’ve made me so proud, and the best part is… you’re just getting started. I couldn't imagine today without you being by my side today
Sade RowlandSade Rowland
Daughter of Honor
My twin. When I look at you, I see my own ambition and hustle. From the start, you’ve been a leader, walking boldly in your own light and never afraid to stand strong. I’ve watched you turn a childhood hobby into a dream come true, becoming your own boss and the hottest nail tech in Macon. More than your success, it’s your heart that shines the brightest — the way you’ve been the glue your sisters need, the one they can always lean on, makes me so proud. I couldn't imagine this day without you.
Nalan RowlandNalan Rowland
Daughter of Honor
My baby girl — no matter how old you get; you will always be my baby. You’ve given me countless proud dad moments: from violin performances to soccer championships, basketball games, and even volleyball. I’ve watched you shine in everything you’ve done. I’ve seen you face challenges with courage, conquer them fearlessly, and grow stronger each time. You keep me laughing, always on my toes! Keep making me proud. I couldn’t imagine this day without my baby girl by my side.
Dr. Sherman ScottDr. Sherman Scott
Officiant
Dr. Scott has been my Pastor and Bishop for the last 14 years. When I first moved to Atlanta, I would drive back and forth to Macon just to go to church. After visiting his ministry twice, I knew it was where I belonged — and I joined. Over the years, Dr. Scott has become more than just my pastor; he’s become family. The icing on the cake was finding out he was from Macon too! I’ll never forget one Sunday when Nate was on his way up to take me to dinner, and Dr. Scott called for an impromptu dinner to meet the woman who would soon become his wife, Dr. L. Scott. I remember calling everyone saying, “I have a date on the way!” I had to bring Nate along. That night was Nate’s first-time meeting “the crew,” after visiting the church through the past years, December 2024, Nate officially joined the church. Dr. Scott, thank you for your guidance, your prayers, and the love you’ve poured into us. We are so honored to share this day with you.

I love you deeply and I’m so grateful to share this moment with you.
