Wedding Party
Mrs. Veronica
Wedding Planner
Aunty V is more than just our wedding planner—she’s a truly amazing big sister, and I’m incredibly thankful and grateful to God for her presence in my life. From day one, she’s been a steady source of support, doing everything she can to make sure this journey is smooth and stress-free. We’re beyond blessed to have her guiding us through the planning and coordinating every detail behind the scenes. From managing the schedule to handling vendors and taking care of any last-minute surprises, Aunty Vero is the calm in the chaos—making sure we can all relax and fully enjoy the big day.
Mrs. Jane
Maid of Honor
I met Jane in the U.S. through family, and she has been such a blessing in my life — both as a big sister and a faithful prayer partner. She’s a wonderful mom and an incredible listener, a quality I deeply admire. We’ve created so many beautiful memories, supported each other through the hustle, and shared countless words of encouragement. I’m truly grateful for the growth we’ve both experienced over the years. Jane is an incredible planner. She’s put in so much effort to make sure my big day is everything I hoped for, and I’m endlessly grateful for her dedication, love, and eye for detail. Most importantly, I’m deeply grateful for all the prayers and encouragement she has given to both Oj and me throughout the entire wedding planning process.
Ms. Anna
Bridesmaid
Anna and I met in the U.S. in 2015, and we lived together for about four years. In that time, we shared unforgettable memories — from life’s highs and lows to everything in between. She’s an incredible sister I was blessed to cross paths with, and I truly treasure every moment we spent together. And just so you know — she’s also an amazing dancer!
Mrs. Raphaelta
Bridesmaid
I met Wifey through family friends during a summer gathering in 2018. My uncle introduced us, and from that moment, our connection began to grow. Wifey is an incredible woman — resilient, hardworking, a true prayer warrior, a thoughtful listener, and above all, an amazing mom. I feel so blessed to have witnessed and been part of her journey into marriage and motherhood — memories I’ll always hold dear. Fun fact: we both served in the U.S. Army and even work in the same career field!
Ms. Sonita
Bridesmaid
I met Sonita in 2015, shortly after I arrived in the U.S., through family. We instantly connected, spent time together, and shared some truly special moments. Along the way, we grew, evolved, and encouraged each other toward progress and purpose. I’m so proud of how far we’ve come. Sonita is now a new mom, and it’s such a blessing to witness this beautiful chapter of her life. And by the way — she’s an incredible cook!
Mrs. Joyce
Bridesmaid
I met Mama Ely in the U.S. around 2016. Over time, our friendship blossomed as we journeyed through life’s highs and lows together. She’s a devoted mother, a woman of strength and grace, and it’s been a blessing to witness her growth into an incredible woman of God. Her encouragement has meant so much to me throughout my own journey towards becoming a wife. She’s hardworking and stylish. Fun fact: she’s amazing at pastries and has a real talent for decorating and event setups!
Ms. Sharon
Bridesmaid
I met Shasha in the U.S. through family, and she’s truly one of the most amazing and hardworking women I know. I’ve always appreciated the energy she brings and the grace with which she carries herself. Fun fact: she’s a total fashionista and absolutely talented when it comes to makeup!
Mr. Elvis
Best Man
My brother from another mother, T, and I have shared a friendship for over 30 years. He is one of the most ambitious and hardworking brothers with a kind heart that you'll ever encounter. T introduced me to my lovely wife. From him, I've learned the importance of dedication and perseverance. T has a zest for fun, and like his friends OJ, Sean, and the rest, dressing sharp and looking good is just part of who we are. We've shared countless adventures and unforgettable moments that have deepened our bond and keep us connected as brothers.
Mr. Arrey
Groomsman
Jabu Love, people often mistake us for twins—well that’s because he is my mother's son. He’s a wonderful father to his daughter, a caring uncle, a brother, a son, and of course, a devoted husband. Sometimes he's quite strict, a no nonsense person but he also has a kind and compassionate heart.
Mr. Sean
Groomsman
Sean, also known as Le President Tchato Bala, is another of my brothers—one of the sharpest-dressed and most confident guys I know. If you're looking to learn how to style outfits, Sean is definitely the guy to ask. We've come a long way, from college and high school days to university and beyond. Throughout the years, Mr. T, Julius, and I have shared numerous adventures and unforgettable memories that continue to strengthen our bond and keep us vibing together as brothers.
Mr. Johnoy
Groomsman
Johnoy is one of my closest friends—a man of few words but great wisdom. Through our friendship, I've learned a great deal about patience, kindness, resilience, and dependability, as he is truly one of the most reliable people I've ever known.
Mr. Julius
Groomsman
I first met Julius when I started college, and we've maintained a wonderful relationship ever since. He has a fantastic sense of humor, a wide-ranging vocabulary, and he always enjoys playing with words.
Mr. Fabion
Groomsman
My good friend Forbes—always joking around—I've known him since 2014. He's one of my very good friends, easy to talk to, hardworking, with a wonderful personality. Talking about soccer with Forbes is just as exciting and enjoyable as watching the game itself.
