Bride
Groom
Maid of Honor
My BIG! I met this adventurous, giving, authentic woman during college, and she was everything! We clicked like a seatbelt. She was fun but professional. The most honest but understanding conversations I've ever had has been with Simone. She makes the best decision she believes to be made at the time then she makes it, and she is unapologetic about it. Her boldness inspires me to own my choices and be my best self.
Best Man
My family, my best friend, my best man. Nick is Armoni's cousin. They've known each other for as long as they can remember. They spent long nights together Mario games, hide in seek in the dark, and have nerf gun fights. Armoni loves coming to Atlanta to visit him and is overjoyed that he will be joining him on this day.
Usher
Alston is the younger brother of the groom. They share many moments together. Believe it or not Alston use to be small enough for Armoni to throw in the air. Now they are fighting for the spot of tallest sibbling. We will see who will win that battle soon but for now Alston will help seat geust.
Bridesmaid
The oldest! I learned everything to do and not to do from this very strong woman. She raised me first, before I listened to my mother or aunt, I listened to Elisha (I probably shouldn't have at times looking back). Elisha was my nurturer, my protector, and always there for me even when I failed to be there for her at times. Out of all of the amazing women I've met in my life, I have yet to meet a better mother. *P.S. Aubree and Ameir are her kids.
Groomsman
Chris and Armoni met freshmen year in an engineering seminar class. They worked on projects together and lived next door to each other. They didn't kick it outside of class until a few years afterwards. They have been good friends ever since.
Bridesmaid
Angelica is the second one in the 'Dunn' girls tetralogy. Growing up, I never knew anyone else as giving. She may be a little reactionary but she always makes time for you if you give her a little notice.
Groomsman
Armoni and Javon took linear algebra together his last year at TSU. They didn't hangout until he was visting his old friends during an extended weekend. (if you know you know). They have been boys ever since that visit.
Bridesmaid
The youngest sister! Jennifer is the quieter, more intentional and disciplined sister. She always had a sharp moral concious and loves tatoos and animals. Her best friend is our dog Jasmine, because while we used to play with her - Jennifer actually took care of her, feeding her and giving her baths ect. Jennifer embodies her organized and exemplanory spirit through teaching at a local high school. She is the only person I know in our immediate family to graduate college debt free. She will continue to be a generational curse breaker and the only daughter my mom had with common sense, according to Armoni, lol.
Bridesmaid
Another 6th floor Hale Halien. Cami Clay is a go getter. A business woman that's just as savvy as she is fine! She may get flustered if you throw too many problems at her at once, but she will figure it out. Camillia is the supportive but realistic friend that always kept me in check! She showed me what boundaries look like and how to execute having them. The only friend that came close to loving our alma mater TSU as much as me, if not more. Always the one that made you late to the function, but when she arrived the party really got started (even though we all knew we only had 30-40 minutes before this girl would be ready to go to bed) lol.
Bridesmaid
The wife of the sixth floor Hale Haliens! Kendall is kind, sweet, a nurturing open ear and mind. I've never met anyone like her! Whether experiencing her first snow together or going home with her for spring break (with some of the other bridesmaids), Kendall is the cultural and spiritual embodiment of friendship. Armoni temporarily tutored her in the engineering department, so she was the first to let me know repeatedly that I have a good man and warned me not to play games with him (you know I did anyways, but atleast she warned me)! Did I mention that my girl is a pilot, meaning she dont just ride airplanes- she drives them! And I am so happy she flew her way right into my life!
Bridesmaid
Keimonee thought I was so weird when we first met at the university's newspaper(and she still does). She is one of the most talented and passionate entreprenuel spirits I know. She doesn't quit, even when she really, REALLY wants to. She's short and fine and never settling for a man that treats her any less than her amazing father has! Me and Armoni shared our unexpected first kiss after I hitched a ride with Keimonee to his roomates apartment! So who knows, maybe we wouldn't be here this fast if it hadn't been for Monay!
Bridesmaid
Victoria grew up in a house full of sisters, like me, so that's what I think made her such a natural sister friend. Mutual friends were how we met (again on the sixth floor of hale hall) but Victoria was always down for an adventure. Her family *literally* took me in for a while when I was looking for places to stay in Washington D.C. for grad school. She is also a bi-lingual sexy chill political genius.
Groomsman
Armoni met Mikil their freshmen year but they didnt speak until they both became RAs the following year. They worked in differnt dorms but occasionally spoke and really became friends after they both began working in the apartments at TSU. They have been close friends ever since.

Armoni met Kamali (aka Kam) his freshmen year but they didnt speak until they both became RAs Armoni's Junior year. After that they spoke often and when they both became apartment RAs they ended up hanging out every weekend. They;ve been on many trips together and are always laughing. Armoni is very happy Kam's able to join him through this journey.
Groomsman
Armoni met Jared his sophomore year when they joined an engineering fraternity together (Epsilon Gamma Iota). Jared and Armoni took that experience and created a life long bond. Whether going to a J-cole concert or playing 2k at Jared's spot, they've shared a lot of memorable moments together. Armoni is very exicted to have Jared with him as he takes this important life step.
Groomsman
Bryce and Armoni have been good friends since freshmen year. Armoni went to the best concert ever with him. (Kanye West now known as Ye the life of Pablo) Bryce was that friend Armoni could talk to about anything and get a real raw answer from. They have similar personalties and interest. Armoni will never understand his obsessions with Batman but still loves him.
Groomsman
Isaiah is Armoni's cousin. They've known each other for as long as they can remember. They spent long nights together Mario games, hide in seek in the dark, and have nerf gun fights. Armoni loves coming to Atlanta to visit him and is over joyed that he will be joining him on this day.
