Wedding Party
Starday Elliott
Matron of Honor
Starday has been a thorn in my side since I transferred back home from undergrad at Puget Sound. The kind that's steady and annoying but accompanied by beautiful petals that you grow accustomed to and can't live without. She is my "fave" big cousin turned sister and I wouldn't have dared chosen anyone else to hold the title of my "matron of honor" and stand beside me on my special day!
Shameka Talbert
Maid of Honor
My sistah from another mistah! I love this girl down honey. From the long drawn out convos that loop in and out of each other to the pain aching laughter, that can lead to loss of air. This girl has been around for the glow up and everything in between. I am so excited to have my best friend and giggle partner standing along side me regulating per usu (usual).
Alexis Phillips
Bridesmaid
My first built in best friend who taught me how to fight, love and go after any and everything I could ever imagine. Alexis is my feisty gem sister that sharpened the dull and brightened the darkness within me, by boldly being who God created her to be. I love my sissy pooh and am so enamored by the woman she is and encourages me to be daily. Thank God for this spicy mamacita!
Lilah Phillips
Bridesmaid
The embodiment of all that I hope to be when I grow up, she arrived in the world ready to show us all who she is. She loves, inspires and outworks the next with elegance and grace like I could only wish to do. I love my baby sissy and am excited that she paused the hustle and bustle of USC to support me. The perfect combination of fire and ice, Lilah, my baby sister, is thee moment.
Sheara Payne
Bridesmaid
She welcomed me with open arms from the very first time we met, of course she had her suspicions (like any big sister) but ultimately knew I was right for her baby brother. A beautiful light and stern voice that I have found a sense of reassuring calmness in. I am truly honored to have Sheara not only as a Cancer twin and new sister but truly as a friend.
Mikaele Phillips
Bridesmen
My baby Brudder is the absolute best. I am continuously taken aback when I realized that this little boy who used to smash spiders for me and protect me from random bugs, has in fact become a full grown man with a much deeper voice. I love this little dude and of course had to have him by my side just in case the creepy crawlies start moving about.
Chris (Lo) Jones
Best Man
The unexpected friend and brother I didn't know I needed. He's been my counsel, my drinking buddy and my guy that reflects growth and faith; Silently pushing me to be a better version of myself.
Tyran Toyer Jr.
Groomsman
The ninja who used to scare me with poisoned berries when we were kids. My gemini twin and all around reminder to go after what I want in life. Separate households had no negativity on our bond. I am my bother's keeper and he is mine.
Chris Simpson
Groomsman
My brother from the sandbox! The first friend that I would friend and unfriend in the same minute. This guy had to stand along side me, as we’ve both grown and transitioned from boys to men.
Emmanuel Abercrombie
Groomsman
Family in every way that counts & even though we not blood he's been with me since the beginning. My Bama twin, & my roll dog for college gameday! We do it for the 🙌🏾(U)!
Marcus Phillips
Groomsmen
An annoyingly loving big brother who has made his presence well known within the BaT Sh*t (Bryanna and Terrez) dynamic. His physical absence played no hindrance in the development of the relationship between himself and Terrez. I often find myself being the 3rd wheel during our phone calls. It was of course a no brainer that he would step up and fill the roll of groomsmen.
Merisa Payne
Ring Security
Risa is our biggest cheerleader and has no issue politely gathering both the bride and groom in whichever way we need to be gathered. Since the beginning of BaT sh*t (Bryanna an Terrez), she's been our Switzerland voice (not choosing sides) of reason and perspective while simultaneously igniting the TURN UP! Risa securing our rings is the perfect reflection of her heart towards the bride and groom.
Alana Gales
Flower Girl
Don’t be distracted by her bright smile and beautiful spirit. Alana is a competitive beast that shows no mercy when playing Uno! Her competitive nature and game night talk revealed her to be the perfect fit for this role. Having her set the stage for Bryanna’s entrance will be a beautiful reminder of the love and joy she radiates in our lives.
Mercedes Deebler
Usher
My niecey pooh is the absolute sweetest and feistiest little chicka I’ve ever been blessed to know. I love the young woman she is blossoming into and I'm grateful for her endless smiles and love. Babygirl is going to slay the entry way as she ushers guest to their seats.
Markaele Phillips
Usher
My nephew radiates so bright that he infatuates every room he walks into. I am thrilled at the young man he is becoming and am honored to be his auntie/ I am so excited that he's willing and able to help out on my special day.
