Whitney & Christopher
Wedding Party
Courtney Johnson
Matron of Honor
The Bride and I go way back, 20 something years LOL. Seeing her grow into the beautiful woman she is today has been nothing short of an honor. I could write all day reminiscing about our relationship, but one special memory of mine is our tea parties we had as little girls. From the pink table, to the white chairs and the silver tea set. It's funny because now, it is as if we will have one more tea party as I stand by her side as her Matron of Honor. I am beyond honored to be your forever Day 1 and sister for life. As you and Chris embark on this journey, I encourage you both to always allow God to be an active factor in your marriage. I love you beyond this world, Whitney, and I am so ecstatic to finally have a brother. I wish you and Chris a happy and blessed marriage. Congratulations to the future Taylors!
George Savage
Best Man
George has always been a big brother to the Groom. He has been someone Chris has always looked up to and wanted to be like for as long as he can remember. George has always been there as a protector and mentor to lead by example. Chris’s earliest memories of George was him beating Chris up and him always telling mom and dad on George lol. George is the staple to their family - always keeping family first, taking loving care of their dear mother, and keeping the memories of their father alive. He has always been there for Chris with whatever he needed, and there is no one more the Groom would like to have standing next to him on his special day.

I met Whitney through my brother, Chris Taylor (The Groom) !!! I remember the first day he introduced us, I knew she was the one he'd spend the rest of his life with. Whitney brings so much joy and positivity into our family and I couldn't imagine life without her. I feel blessed to call her my sister-in-law.
Robert Sanders IV
Best Man
We fought as brothers do , but also fought others too, he was my first best friend & we have shared many of life’s biggest moments together. Watching him grow into a promising young man lets me believe that I was a great role model. Younger brothers usually admire and try to follow in their older brothers footsteps, but in fact, I admire him, all of his accomplishments, and try to follow in his footsteps. There is no doubt that he will be a great husband. I am truly honored and proud to stand by his side and share in this moment with him. Cheers to my little brother and my new sister (in love) Whitney.

I’ve known both the bride and groom for quite some time! Our Bride to be, Whitney, I have known since 2011. She’s my line sister, but closer than that she’s my FRONT. We have enjoyed many of our most memorable moments as young adults side by side. We have seen each other grow in character, cry, laugh, praise God together and much more. Whitney is one of the sweetest and most caring people I know. While she would mostly be considered an introvert, I’d like to think I’m the adventurous friend that pushes her out of her comfort zone cheering her on or bringing her with me to explore some of life’s adventures! Whitney has always been an amazing woman, inside and out. She often goes after what she wants to achieve, loves Christ, and adores her family. Having known and been friends with her beau Chris, since we were young children; also with my now husband and Chris being decades long best friends, the impulsive side of me leapt at the opportunity to introduce Whitney and Chris. It has been beautiful witnessing their love bloom and grow into this wonderful love story. I’m honored to be by their side as they now become one under God, as Mr. and Mrs. Taylor!

What is there to say about Chris you ask? Well let me tell you this first, he can’t beat me in madden or fantasy football! On another note, Chris has to be one of the most respectful and loyal friends I have. C and I have been through A TON together and each experience has revealed just how much we have in common. Whether it’s a moment where I need help thinking critically, a partner to ride to a football/basketball game with, or even an assistant coach (most fun I’ve had coaching to this day). Chris is ALWAYS there and that’s what I love about my boy the most. He’s 100% dependable and you can always trust him to be there for you. On top of all of that he’s definitely top 3 funniest people I know. If you haven’t seen Chris get into an argument or heard him tell a story you’re missing out a funniest sequence of events that you can hear! All in all through his loyalty and willingness to give it to you straight Chris has easily had a part in helping me become the man I am today. Man C, I love you bro. I know you may or may not have expected to be here but you made it! I cannot begin to express how proud of you I am! Enjoy this day brother and a life long beautiful marriage! You deserve it!

Whitney and I first met back in 2010. We would often see each other around campus due to similar interests. We became line sisters and friends when we pledged the best org together in Spring 2011. We’ve been connected ever since — taking similar career routes and participating in professional organizations together. We have supported each other through so much, but serving as her bridesmaid is going to be my favorite. I’m looking forward to loving on her through this process and as she walks out life as Mrs. Taylor! I love you boo!
Myles Mays
Groomsman
We met in 8th grade and shortly after became best friends in highschool. We have supported and encouraged each other through all phases of life. He stood by me as a groomsmen 5 years ago, and I’m happy to be standing next to him as he enters this union and next chapter of life.
Katy Davison
Bridesmaid
My name is Katy Davison, and I am one of the bride and groom’s best friends! I met Chris 9 years ago when I started dating my now husband, Kenny Davison. Chris and Kenny grew up together and so Chris often came to the college Kenny and I were at to visit so we would always hang out. As the years went on, Chris and I grew to become like brother and sister. He is truly one of my best friends and I could not be happier that he has found his forever love! Then there comes Whitney, the most beautiful, caring, and down to earth person I have met in a long time. I take a little credit for this lovely couple’s relationship because I was there when the two first hit it off 😊 Once they started dating, they would come and visit us in Georgia and vice versa with us going to Birmingham. These two are also the aunt and uncle to our boys, Maddox and Maverick, who love them so very much! As time went on, Whitney and I of course hit it off and it felt like we had been close for the longest time. She is truly one of my best friends and I am so happy she has found her prince charming! I am more than happy that I get to be a part of this special union. I pray that God blesses this marriage and these two live a life of love and adventure as they become Mr. & Mrs. Chris Taylor!

I’ve been waiting and praying for this day to come for quite some time now, and finally I get the chance to stand by my brother on his special day as he marries his queen. We’ve had countless conversations about our lives and what they will look like as we grow older and honestly, I don’t think you could’ve chosen a better partner to go through the rest of your life with. From the time we met in 3rd grade to now, we’ve always had a special bond that has only gotten better over the years, and I can truly say I’m proud of the man you’ve become. The way you treat Whitney and the relationship you two have built is one that I really admire. You both compliment each other in the most perfect ways and it’s truly a joy watching the love you two share. Chris has always been a brother to me and now I’m thrilled that I get to call Whitney a sister as well. You’re an awesome uncle to my boys and I can’t wait to watch you raise a family of your own someday. Thank you for being the most unselfish, caring, consistent and most of all trustworthy person I know. You know I’m always here for you and can’t wait to celebrate your special day with you.

Bridesmaid
Whitney and I were blessed to have been placed on the same line of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Over the years we've grown pretty close. Our cool and calm spirits get along really well together. We've shared many fun times and late night chats. I'm a quiet, private person by nature, but Whit is one of those people that I'm comfortable being my total self with without any judgment. She has such a big heart and a kind soul. She's become one of my really good friends, and I'm truly honored to be beside her as she marries the love of her life.
Darryl Green, Jr.
Groomsman
Friends is an understatement to describe our relationship. We’ve grown from boys to men in a blink of an eye and I cherish our brotherhood more than you know. I’m proud of you & thankful you’ve considered me to beside you while we all celebrate this lifetime bond.
Jasmine Johnson
Bridesmaid
I met Whitney in undergrad at UAB. Everyone knows my memory is horrible, so I don’t have an exact story of how we met. There is a saying by Maya Angelo that goes, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”. Whitney has always been a pure and sweet soul. I remember that she has always made me feel loved, valued and seen since I’ve know her. I am so proud of the woman she has grown to be and the woman that she is blossoming into. I am so excited for to celebrate this exciting new chapter of life with her!
