Michael AladejanaMichael Aladejana

Best Man

My name is Dr. Michael Aladejana. I am a medical doctor and have the honor of serving as the Global Lead of The Encounter Center Global. Beyond my professional and pastoral responsibilities, I am deeply grateful for the meaningful relationships that have shaped my journey, and the groom is one of them. The groom is family to me, by extension, but our bond goes far beyond titles. Over time, I’ve come to know him as a man of integrity, humility, and genuine heart. It’s been a joy to witness his growth, and it’s a privilege to stand with him in this new chapter of life.

Maid of Honor

Hi everyone! My name is Wely, and I’m so honored to be part of Whitney and Emmanuel’s special day. Whitney and I met back in college, and from the very beginning, we connected instantly. Over the years, she’s become more than just a friend; she’s truly a sister to me. I first met Emmanuel at Whitney’s graduation, and even in the middle of all the excitement and celebration, he stood out as calm, collected, and so supportive. It was clear then how much he cared for her, and since then, it’s been beautiful to see their relationship grow. Whitney is one of the most genuine, thoughtful, and loving people I know, and I couldn’t be happier that she found someone who matches her energy and spirit. I’m so excited to celebrate this next chapter of their love story!

Hi my name is Christabel, but everyone calls me Kiikii. I’m a cousin to the groom. I met Whitney at our church’s valentines hangout a day after they both got engaged and it was an exciting day for me. From the short time spent with her, it was an amazing experience, she’s beautiful, nice, beautiful heart and fun to be with. “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord” so I pray that the beautiful jewel Emmanuel has found in Whitney will be for a lifetime in blissful love. I’m super excited for this new journey they’re embarking on.

Nadia MbulavNadia Mbulav

Bridesmaid

Hello, my name is Nadia. I am a friend to Whitney the bride. I met Whitney in my first year in community college, and i thought to myself, this girl looks too good to be a Cameroonian and too fancy to want to associate with someone like me. Long story short, Whitney and I got to know each other, and she introduced me to her beautiful family. Since then, Whitney has been like a sister to me. Whitney is a beautiful soul and deserves all the best things in life, which is why I am happy to be part of this great step of her life. I met Emmanuel the groom during Whitney's graduation, and I pray God give him the Grace to treat my sister like a queen.

Bridget OlajideBridget Olajide

Bridesmaid

I met Whitney through her family, and as time passed, I realized she was not only great company but also someone I could learn so much from. Her kindness, wisdom, and joyful spirit have made our friendship truly special. I met Emmanuel, her wonderful husband, during my Master’s program at Springfield. From the moment I met him, I just knew he was a good person. He has also been so helpful to me, always willing to support and uplift others. Seeing Whitney and Emmanuel together is a clear sign that God answers prayers. My prayer for them is that their marriage will be continually sweet, just like honey never loses its taste. May their love grow stronger each day, their joy be endless, and their home be filled with God’s abundant blessings. Wishing them a lifetime of joy and love! Amen Cheers!
