Love, Laughter and Happily Ever After!
Wedding Party
Ronetta Morgan
Matron of Honor
Ronetta became Tamara's client nearly 16 years ago. They "clicked" and the business relationship became a bond of friendship that turned to sisterhood without any inkling that it would be formalized by marriage. Ronetta can always be counted on to lend a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on and she is "the vault" -- who needs Vegas when one of your besties lips are always sealed? Best of all, it was Ronetta (and her hubby, Emmanuel's brother, Keith) who introduced the giddy couple!
Elias Morgan
Best Man
As the only son of the groom, Eli was Emmanuel's immediate choice of Best Man. Elias makes his family proud -- he serves his country in the Air Force, just returning from deployment in Qatar, and is a dependable and proud husband and father.
Danielle Clevalle
Bridesmaid
Dani, Tamara's beloved sister was Tamara's first "baby" - she watched over her, braided her hair, disciplined her and ran her would-be suitors away. Dani was the first of Tamara's girls to become a woman, wife and mother -- and has made her so proud at every turn. Dani's beautiful spirit, infectious smile, ferocious protectiveness, sense of humor and silliness keep Tamara smiling.
Karen Lewis
Bridesmaid
Tamara's more-like-a-sister-than-a-friend has been standing tall beside her for nearly 30 years. They met in college and have never skipped a beat. No matter what city they live in, no matter what may be going on in their lives, their bond is unbreakable and defies explanation or label.
Karen Williams
Bridesmaid
Karen has been Tamara's right hand at work for nearly 17 years, but that's just the beginning of the story. The two became friends, true friends, early on; sharing the details of their lives outside of work. They began to take care of one another and have never stopped. Tamara couldn't imagine taking this major step in her life without Karen by her side, as usual.
Darnella Jones
Bridesmaid
It started in the sixth grade. Tamara and Darnella's mothers met in the pediatrician's office and were determined that their daughters would be friends. And that's exactly what happened. They have shared so many years of friendship, funny stories, happiness . . . they are more like family than friends.
Beverly Morgan-Glover
Bridesmaid
Beverly is Emmanuel's sister -- the only girl in a household of five brothers -- and has been watching over her brothers for years. Tamara met Beverly several years ago through her friendship with Ronetta and felt an immediate kinship. Their friendship grew out of common values and interests and genuine respect. When Tamara and Emmanuel began dating, Beverly was Switzerland -- perfectly balancing her allegiances to both of them. When the couple decided to marry, Beverly embraced Tamara as a true sister even before the official date was set. Her role as bridesmaid was predestined.
Tiffany Thomas
Bridesmaid
When Tamara met Tiffany she was still learning the ropes at her law firm -- a star on the rise. Over the years they joined forces and, with their dear friend Deborah, created a trio that could not be stopped. Tiffany is no longer the little sister that makes Tamara proud. She's standing shoulder to shoulder with her. She is a bona fide Superstar making waves, kicking butt, and turning the legal world upside down. Deborah is smiling.
Rhonda Andrew
Bridesmaid
Rhonda and Tamara met at one of the most vulnerable times in their lives -- in law school. They were both presidents of the Black Law Students Associations at their respective law schools and recognized each other as kindred spirits. It's been 25 years and the bond has grown deeper and deeper. They have shared secrets, laughter, tears, woes and fears. Theirs is a friendship that requires nothing yet provides everything.
Keith Morgan
Groomsman
The youngest of Emmanuel's brothers, Keith is the brother who will surprise you with a host of talents: heart wrenching trumpet playing, amazing wood working, nimble knitting, soulful singing, lasagna layering and always being there to give advice and counsel. Keith is also the other half of the match making team that made this union possible!
Kelvin Morgan
Groomsman
Kelvin is the second youngest of the brothers - Keith's twin. Kelvin's talents - as a musician and singer - and his business acumen are admirable but what stands out even more is that he is always looking for a way to help those in need.
Edmondo Morgan, Sr.
Groomsman
Eddie is the second eldest of Emmanuel's brothers. An avid fisherman, hard worker and talented trombone player, Eddie is kind, generous, dependable and pragmatic -- traits Emmanuel treasures.

Andrea Pradia
Bridesmaid
Andrea and Tamara's friendship was born at UC Berkeley nearly 30 years ago. Theirs is that unique bond that survives distance and circumstance. No matter what's going on in their lives they can pick up the phone and a conversation as though only days have passed. Andrea didn't hesitate to agree to fly in from Louisiana to stand for Tamara.
