Matron of Honor
We met each other on a day that is usually filled with excitement, anxiety, sadness and so many mixed emotions-College move in day during our Freshman year at UNC Chapel Hill. Whether we wanted to be close or not, we had no choice in a room that was smaller than a tiny house room. If you know anything about Jacinda, you know her hair products took up majority of our space. We woke up everyday together, went to class together, ate together, rushed to track practice, partied and pushed each other to be the best track and field athletes we could be. We had each other’s backs. Jacinda aka Tasha is truly my ride or die and by far the most giving, hardworking, intelligent and god fearing woman I know. I cannot wait to be apart of my besties big day and see her unite with the love of her life.
Best Man
Tribb and I grew up playing sports against each other all of our lives but didn't find out until we became line brothers in the spring of 2010. We have pretty much lived 20 minutes from each other ever since. I've been here for this entire relationship, watching it grow into a loving and healthy competition at times lol. I was even trusted with keeping Tribb out the house on his birthday for a surprise party while also going to pick up the ring for Jacinda (so glad that worked out, y'all stressful).

Jacinda and I met in 2001 in the hallway of Shepard Middle School. On this particular day we both had on the same shirt that said "Angel". We went back and forth with each other over who had the shirt first LOL and the rest was history. Following that debacle, we hung out everyday. Jacinda would even go to my house and spend time with my family when I was not home. When we got to high school we were inseparable. We had a theme of what we would wear to school everyday. All the students knew when we were coming down the hall, all they heard was "Dang On" and they knew it was Tiera and Jacinda. Although our lives changed as adults, our friendship has never wavered.

I met Tribb freshman year at WCU through Jon Graham. We started to get real close sophomore year when we were going through the process of bringing Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc back to WCU’s campus. Since then our relationship has gotten nothing but stronger. We’ve bled together, we’ve fought together, we’ve cried together. My Dawg for life. #ShineBrothers #TOSTL

I met Jacinda Evans on June 18, 1990 (the day she was born), on a HOT, sunny day. When I first met her, her mouth was wide open, as if she wanted to cry, but NOTHING would come out. I would say, “Spit It Out”!!!!!!! Then she would start crying. This went on until the age of 16, just kidding. Growing up, she had a deep voice and I remember one day she told my sister, “Ma, LJ said he's gonna knock my eyeeeees out”, in a manly DEEP voice. To this day, we still laugh about this! Jacinda is my only niece. Before I had my son, I would spend my entire paycheck buying pretty outfits for her as if she was my child. She is my all time favorite. She has turned out to be a very beautiful young lady and I am so proud to be by her side on her special day.

I don’t think how I know Airington is appropriate for this website so I will just say Congrats to him on finding his good thing in Jacinda. I was able to witness these two grow as a couple literally from day 1 and I’m blessed to be apart of their special day!
Bridesmaid
We're cousins by blood, sisters by heart and friends by choice. Jacinda aka "Tasha" was literally the first friend I had as a child. No one will ever understand our crazy family like "the cousins" do. Like "why our favorite movie is the Temptations", what are "little aliens (Eminem voice)", "who stole and smoked grandma's cigarettes", and "why our singing group never took off like it should've"? We literally have a lifetime of memories together. We've laughed together. We've cried together. We've even cried as bridesmaids together...and now its my turn to cry for her, because she already knows I'm gonna cry at the wedding LOL. I am sooo happy to be by her side on her special day.

I met AIRINGTON at the age of 6 years old. I don’t know when, I don’t know where, I was 6 years old!! We've been brothers since though!
Bridesmaid
Jacinda aka Tasha and I met 9 years ago. She is my sister-in-law. She is such a sweet spirit and always keeps me laughing. Over the years she has become a wonderful aunt to my children as well as a loving sister to me; whether she's in a dance battle with the kids or dragging me out the house to go shopping. She has been an inspiration through her hard work and accomplishments and I am happy to stand beside her on her wedding day.

I've known my boy Tribb from elementary school, middle school, high school til this day. This guy is my best friend. He's special. We played video games, rode bikes together and when I got my first car in high school he was my "road dawg" . We were everywhere. Couldn't tell us nothin' lol. Bro is genuine, smart and just fun to be around. I'm proud of the man he's become and this next step he's taking in life. I wish him and his wife nothing but the best. She chose a winner!

I knew Jacinda before I actually met her. We both ran high school and AAU track in the same region. I would always hear and see her name in high school; she was just this one-woman army for Southern and we couldn't understand how she was winning all these points by herself. We both went to Carolina to run track and became roommates from sophomore year until graduation. I can always count on her to be my "dance partner" and I'm happy to stand by her side on her special day.

Tribb and I met around 5/6 years old when he moved on to our dead end street in Belmont, NC. Tribb is a year older than me so he quickly became like the big brother I didn’t have, not to mention one of my best friends. Bro taught me how to ride a wheelie on my bike the first week we met and for that I will forever be grateful lol. One of the qualities I love the most about my boy is that he is truly genuine and will always be honest with you no matter if it’s what you want to hear or not. A paragraph couldn’t do justice for all the good things I could say about Tribb but in the end I’ll say I’m happy that I’ve been able to be a part of your journey and I know that together you two will achieve great things. To my friend of 25 years love you brotha!
