Wedding Party

Wenda Thompson

Bride

Ryan Morton

Groom

Symone Sylvester

Matron of Honor

Symone is one of Wenda's best friends. Wenda met Symone back in 2013 when they first began their teaching careers in Richmond Public Schools. They taught across the hall from each other and their bond has been close ever since.

Stephan Whitlock

Best Man

Ryan has known Steph since... well, birth. They are cousins who have been through it all together. Fun fact, Wenda was one of Stephan's high school teachers! What a small world we live in.

Lianne Totty

Bridesmaid

Lianne is Wenda's eldest sister who has paved the way for her sisters. Since they were young, the mantra has always been, "Sisters, us three." From "Sisters must share," to "I love you, sis," Lianne was Wenda's first best friend.

John Massie

Groomsman

John is the best step dad that Ryan could ask for. They connect with their green thumbs and have had such a bond ever since.

Harvequa Fogg

Bridesmaid

Wenda met Vee back in 2008 when they both started at Virginia Commonwealth University. Since graduating, the pair have kept in close contact and grown tremendously as individuals and friends.

Michael Bradett

Groomsman

Michael is one of Ryan’s first cousins. He has always been a brother from another mother for their whole lives. More than cousins and the best of friends.

Nadia Thompson

Bridesmaid

Nadia is Wenda's second big sister who has nurtured and supported her throughout the years. A confidant, friend, supporter, and sister are all words Wenda would use to describe Nadia and the bond they share.

Damion Morton

Groomsman

Damion is Ryan’s brother from the same mother! They always find their way back to each other. Damion is one of Ryan’s confidants and best friends.

Jeriann Jones

Bridesmaid

Jeriann is one of Wenda's first cousins. Ever since they were younger, Jeriann was the little sister Wenda never had, and they have only grown closer in adulthood. All the way in Georgia, these two show that sisterhood has no limit on distance.

Reginald Benjamin

Groomsman

Stephan introduced Reginald, affectionally called Po, to Ryan and they have the bond of humor. You might even call them class clowns when they’re together. Ever since the introduction, they have been thick as thieves!
