Stephen & Jalana
Wedding Party
Lashay Thornton
Maid of Honor
We met in 7th grade and have been inseparable ever since! In high school the teachers would have to separate us and we'd hold up notes across the room to communicate. She is not only the Ying to my Yang, but she is also my accountability partner, my biggest supporter, and my best friend.
Chris Ratliff
Best Man
Chris is my brother from another mother. We started off as kids in the street, but now we have definitely grown together in a positive direction.
Fantazia Malcou
Honorary Bridesmaid
I have known her since the summer before 5th grade. In high school, you wouldn't see one without the other. No matter the time or distance between us, I know we can always pick up where we left off and remain true friends! She's amazing and I know I can always count on her.
Ricky Webster
Groomsman
Ricky is the life of the party. We knew of each other growing up but became true friends in college where sometimes a party weekend was a little more important than going to that last class! Besides all the fun we've had, he's also been a good friend.
Chiquita Mitchell
Bridesmaid
Chiquita and I have become family not only by marriage, but by bond. She is loving, caring, and so supportive. I knew when I met her that we would be in each other's lives long term, and I love the friendship that has blossomed between us.
Adrian Marcus
Groomsman
Adrian is one of the most honest and genuine guys that I know. He is hugely inspirational, and if he can't motivate you to become the best version of yourself, no one can.
Kiara Davis
Bridesmaid
We've known each other since elementary school. We used to skate around our neighborhood together. My 5th and her 6th grade year, we missed the bus on the last day of school. Out of boredom, we went to her house and typed up our wills together. She's always been a great friend.
Jon Redmond
Groomsman
Highly intelligent and dedicated, Jon introduced me to the world of fitness and living a healthy lifestyle. This definitely helped me survive college living and adulthood!
Charnickol Robinson
Bridesmaid
She has made my transition to Starkville so much easier. We grew a strong friendship from the moment we met. We talk on the phone like we can't live without one another, and I know that I can always count on her to brighten my day!
Malik Ross
Groomsman
A charismatic, young guy with a bright future. We met working on a business venture together and he's become one of my close friends through that time.
