Timothy & Nicole
Wedding Party
Oyetokunbo (Timothy) Olaniyi
Groom
Timothy is an incredible man of God with a heart full of love and humility. He’s hilarious, has moves for days, and makes the best Nigerian stew you can ever have—seriously, it’s bussin bussin! He carries a grace and peace that can calm anyone instantly. Watching him love Nicole has been truly beautiful. Timothy is patient, kind, and full of wisdom, creating a space where Nicole can thrive while staying true to herself. He leads her with love and care, embodying everything you’d hope for in a partner. Oh, and when it comes to games? This man rarely loses—his favor is unmatched! Timothy inspires those around him to walk boldly in their authenticity and he will continue to lead and love Nicole authentically in ways that reflect God’s heart. (Written by Magleny).
Nicole Elizabeth Williams
Bride
Nicole has a heart of gold and a humor that should come with a warning label. She’s the queen of godly wisdom, killer pancakes, and competitive game nights (seriously, this is your warning if you play Monopoly with her and Timothy—they’re unstoppable!). Watching her love Timothy with googly eyes and unwavering faith has been pure joy. Her love for him is patient, kind, and selfless, constantly lifting him up to become the man God has called him to be. Nicole is a rock in the life of those around her, always calling them higher and inspiring everyone around her to see God’s love and purpose. She’s an incredible friend, leader, and now, a beautiful bride. (Written by Magleny).
Magleny Vazquez Pagan
Maid of Honor
Meet my maid of honor: the queen of good vibes, spontaneous adventures, and always being available for a pep talk or prayer sesh (seriously, she’s running on divine Wi-Fi—25/8 coverage). She’s the kind of person who’ll risk life and limb for a mission trip and then come home just in time to help execute one of my latest harebrained schemes with a smile (and probably some fancy coffee drink in hand). Equal parts fun-loving and saintly, she’s the perfect mix of "holy spirit" and "let’s hit the dance floor." Everyone, give it up for my ride-or-die! (Written by Nicole).
Victor Olaniyi
Best Man
Meet Victor, my brother and best man. If there’s one person who’s always been there for me, it’s Victor. We’ve been through everything together—from the good, the hilarious, to the hard and vulnerable moments. But no matter what, his presence has been an anchor. He’s the guy who always looks out for me, even when I’m too stubborn to ask for help. Loyalty? Check. Resilience? Abundantly there. Humor? He’s got it. But what I really admire is his character—he’s the definition of “always showing up for those you love”. Victor’s been the brother I needed, even when I didn’t know I needed him. Today, I’m proud to have him stand by me, not just as my best man, but as the brother who’s been there through thick and thin. (Written by Timothy).
Mya McQueen
Bridesmaid
Next up is Mya, my longest-running partner in crime and the queen of keeping life organized! She’s a sports enthusiast who can probably manage a game schedule better than the pros, a lover of soulful music with a playlist for every mood, and my number one fan when it comes to my Christian R&B. Mya has been my laugh-until-we-cry buddy and my cry-until-we-laugh again confidant for as long as I can remember. Sure, we butt heads occasionally (because let’s face it, stubborn queens gotta queen), but through it all, we’ve never quit on the beautiful friendship God blessed us with. She’s my steady and soulful sister! (Written by Nicole).
Oyeniyi (Michael) Olaniyi
Groomsman
Meet Micheal, my groomsman and brother. Micheal embodies freedom in the best way possible—he’s open-minded, constantly at ease, and always remaining grounded in every moment. He has an incredible ability to tap into his intuition and often speak from a heart that’s both thoughtful and genuine. Through every conversation we’ve had, Micheal has shown me and revealed to me the power of being present, of living authentically and embracing every aspect of who you are. Micheal has shown me how to bridge both Nigerian and American culture and stay firm in who I am. His wisdom and ability to connect deeply with himself, his people and learn of others have made him a true inspiration to me, and I’m proud to have him standing by my side. His presence is a gift I’ll always cherish. (Written by Timothy).
Brinisha Shaw
Bridesmaid
Next up is Brinisha Shaw, a sweet soul whose hugs feel like warm brown sugar—comforting, genuine, and just what you need. She’s the queen of kindness and thoughtfulness, with an incredible eye for detail and a shared commitment to excellence (we both believe in doing things right). Brinisha can throw down in the kitchen like a seasoned pro, and her cooking could probably solve world peace. She has this magical ability to warm up any room with her laughter and light, always reminding me to rest, breathe, and not take life too seriously. She’s my balance, my belly-laugh buddy, and a constant source of joy! (Written by Nicole).
Dipo Olaniyi
Groomsman
Meet Dipo, my brother and groomsman. The whole family knows Dipo as the guy who stepped up when others couldn’t, taking care of his siblings and always leading by example. He’s got a natural wisdom, a sharp sense of style, and a love for music that adds to his character. Most of all, he’s a man who genuinely cares, and that’s what makes him special. Even though life has divided us by a notion, I’m grateful for our brotherhood and I look forward for the many years to come.(Written by Timothy).
Hannah Rose Williams
Bridesmaid
And then there’s Hannah Williams—my forever hype queen. She’s a trend-savvy fashionista who’s always serving elevate and elite energy, making the rest of us wonder how she does it so effortlessly. Hannah is my constant reminder to take care of myself and embrace my greatness, even when I don’t see it. She’s the ultimate supporter of all my decisions (even the questionable ones), offering judgment-free wisdom wrapped in a carefree vibe. She’s my safe space, my style inspiration, and the one who always keeps me grounded while encouraging me to soar. (Written by Nicole).
Sidney Williams III
Groomsman
My brother, and one of the coolest groomsmen, is my constant reminder to just chill. A lover of good food, epic games, and all things basketball, he’s also the only person who consistently beats me at chess (which I’ll begrudgingly admit). With his quick wit and knack for making me laugh, he’s always there to lighten the mood and remind me to put the computer down and stop working for a minute. He’s my built-in stress reliever, my game-night rival, and one of my favorite people to unwind with. (Written by Nicole).
Sarah Williams
Bridesmaid
Sarah Williams—my forever fitness goals and the ultimate accountability partner. She’s as dedicated to discipline and growth as I am, always cheering me on with a steadfast “You got this!” Her commitment to crushing goals and inspiring others to do the same is nothing short of amazing. Sarah constantly reminds me to invest in myself, push through challenges, and celebrate progress. She’s not just a motivator; she’s a walking, talking inspiration for living life with purpose and strength. (Written by Nicole).
Ronke Olaniyi
Bridesmaid
Meet Ronke, my awesome sister and bridesmaid. If there’s one thing Ronke knows how to do, it’s live life to the fullest. She’s got this infectious energy that makes every room she walks into feel brighter. Whether she’s teasing me or just being her true sister-self, Ronke is always bringing the fun. She lives without hesitation, and honestly, she’s been a huge reminder for me to do the same—just enjoy life and cherish every moment. She’s taught me to be present, laugh at the little things, and always put family first. I’m blessed to have her by my side today! (Written by Timothy).
Brielle Antoinette Johnson
Flower Girl
Meet Brielle Johnson, our adorable goddaughter! At just 4 years old, she’s a bundle of energy and joy, always brightening every room she enters. Wise beyond her years, Brielle has a knack for reminding us to pray through life’s challenges and take time to process our emotions—proof that wisdom doesn’t come with age alone! She’s also my biggest fan when it comes to my peanut butter noodles and my little reminder to never stop embracing the wonder of being a kid. She’s pure sunshine wrapped in giggles and petals. (Written by Nicole).
Shola Olaniyi
Mother of the Groom
Meet Shola Olaniyi, my mother. She is a woman of faith, resilience, and endless love. She carries a heart of sacrifice for her family, and her commitment to God and prayer has been a source of strength and inspiration in my own journey as a person, man, and leader. She has taught me to devote my whole life to God and to serve others with a heart full of humility and wisdom. Her motherhood, leadership, and dedication are foundational pillars in who I am today. Let’s just say, if prayer points were currency, my mom would be a billionaire—and she’s always generous in sharing them with me! (Written by Timothy).
Sidney Williams Jr.
Father of the Bride
My dad, the Father of the Bride, is the man who taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. He’s been my greatest challenger, always pushing me to set high goals and never settle for less than my best. He’s also my biggest believer, reminding me time and again to never let anyone tell me what I can’t do. He embodies resilience, limitless possibilities, and a steadfast commitment to showing me that no dream is too big. He’s not just my dad—he’s my inspiration and a core foundational pillar to who I am today. (Written by Nicole).
Teresa Williams
Mother of the Bride
My mom, the Mother of the Bride, is the embodiment of compassion and selflessness. She has the kind of heart that will bring a homeless stranger into our home, clothe them, and make them feel like family. Her kindness knows no bounds, her forgiveness is unwavering, and her thoughtfulness touches everyone she meets. She’s my greatest example of what it means to love unconditionally and live with purpose. She’s my constant reminder of what true grace looks like. (Written by Nicole).
Prince Twins Seven Seven
Father of the Groom
In Loving Memory of Prince Twins Seven Seven, my father. His life was a tapestry of creativity and deep connection to his Yoruba culture, blending innovation and heritage in a way that honored both tradition and individuality. As I reflect on our story, I see how much he showed the world the beauty of our history; his commitment to creativity and identity paved the way for me to embrace my own journey, inspiring me with a deep desire to embrace my roots as a foundation worth inspiring the future. Today, I honor him—not just as a renowned artist, a cultural icon or by his achievements, but as a father whose life teaches me about the power of legacy and its role in embracing who I am and where I come from. (Written by Timothy).
