Alexander Steven Hinton
Father of the Groom
The Rebirth of Cool... Words can't describe what my dad means to me. He has always been there for me, cheered for me, and supported me throughout my life. He raised us with the perfect balance of discipline, good advice and letting us figure life out on our own. Always there to wheel me back in if I got to far out of line. The man who truly enjoys life, having fun and talking trash! He has been my father, my stylist, my barber and my friend! It's with great honor to call you my Dad!
Anthony Hinton
Best Man
My big brother, the one who has always had my back no matter what mess I may have dragged him into. The one who has always did his own thing and never followed the crowd. The one who has always been discipline and organized. He's a Air Force man with over 35 years of service. He's someone that I have looked up to and admired. He's and athlete that made me better trying to compete with him on the basketball court and football field. He's everything a big bother should be!
Daniel " DJ " Dorsey
Best Man
It's so much I can say about a brother that I've been kicking it with since I've been six years old. I've always called you my little cousin and we have gone through life with that title. It's often said that it's not always blood that makes you family but rather the relationships that you have between one another. We have been through a lot and you know one phone call could set off a war when it came to you. It's been many times we talked each other off the ledge and encourage one another to be better. We looked out for each other back then and still do the same today. It's been 45 years and it's a pleasure to call you family!
Harold Jones
Best Man
In this life you rarely come across a brother that shoots straight from hip... what you see is what you get. A brother who's word is his bond. A brother who's not scared to take risk and will damn near give you his last to make sure your good. A brother with a good heart who pours into his family and friends. A brother who's always on the grind and always has a good piece of advice....It usually starts off with " Kevin let me say something to you" before he gets to the point. A brother who reminds me so much of myself, always willing to go that extra mile for his family and friends. It's my pleasure to call you my brother and friend!
Floyd Brown
Best Man
It's seems like a life time that we've been kicking it, from standing in front of the barbershop laughing and joking... To the wild adventures in Myrtle Beach. We have always been road dogs-and roommates on all the trips. The first brother that I actually started traveling with. Always been laid back, chill and aware of your surroundings. Never seeking attention. Always been a go getter from day one. We've never stop dreaming and most of our conversations is always about starting businesses and getting money. We been rolling for 30 plus years and it's a pleasure to call you my brother and friend!
Shafiyq Hinton
Officiant
My Son! The one who has exceeded my expectations and someone whom I'm very proud off. The one who chases his dreams into reality. It is with great enthusiasm when I speak of your accomplishments and with great pride to say " That's my son! " I've often said, having you saved my life because it forced my to be responsible. I knew I wanted the best for you! I'll continue to watch your growth with admiration.
Donta
Escort
Tasha’s baby boy, even though he is bigger than his big brother. Donta is very intelligent and always have been. It’s very rare you see him without a smile on his face. “I knew he was too smart for his age when he tried to get me to make sense of Santa Claus at the age of 5. I still laugh about that, and he still makes my day.”
Jerrod Hinton

My little brother, the brains of the family. My computer guru, my go to when I need help. I have always admired your dedication to our family and the beautiful family that you created. It was a pleasure to watch you grow from my little brat brother to the accomplished family man. I have always marveled at your many talents, especially singing and your since of fashion. It's with the utmost gratitude that I get to call you my brother!
Alexandria Benford

My Daughter, I am greatful to have you in my life. Alexandria you are beautiful, amazing, graceful, and super talented. I can't think of anyone who's kinder or more loving than you. It took me until adulthood to realize how funny you are, always making me laugh. I love your drive, dedication and passion for your craft. I'm looking forward to seeing you on the big screen soon! My superstar! It's with profound gratitude that I get to call you my daughter!
Maurice “Marty”
Escort
Tasha’s first born! All grown up and a respectable young man. Maurice is very smart and very talented, especially when it comes to music. He’s always had an ear for good music. “I remember my dad got him a guitar for Christmas and a couple days later I heard him playing the “SpongeBob” theme song that he taught himself. I couldn’t believe it!”
Lamont
Father of the Bride
Anyone who knows my father knows that he is the most honest, genuine person you’ll ever meet. Between his sense of humor and the love for all of his grandchildren I assure you that you have never met anyone quite like him! “When we were children, my sisters and our cousins use to joke and say that our dad was like James from Good Times. He loves us but he does not play! I think it made us better people for that tough love. I love you daddy!”
