Wedding Party

Matron of Honor
I am Tashika. Will is my brother-in-law and Ruth is like a sister to me (soon to be sister-in-law). I met Will first, as I was meeting my husband's family and we connected. I have always found a brother in him and always will. I met Ruth shortly after and understood why God chose to bless these 2 with each other. They are both amazing people and INCREDIBLY generous. I am happy to call them both Brother and sister and also happy to be a part of their journey together, as husband and wife. I wish you all the best this world has to offer.

I’ve known Will since middle school and met Ruth thru my wife during their metro bus riding days😆. These two have been amazing friends and God parents to my baby girl. I appreciate everything y’all have done and continue to do for the family. I am very honored that they chose me to be a part of this journey. I wish nothing but the best for the both of you.

Met Ruth my first year of college. We had a fall out but got closer after we both ended up in Richmond. I guess you can say that was fate. She’s been an amazing friend, sister and the God mother of my baby girl. I have seen this love grow and flourish beautifully, I just cannot wait until they say I Do ! Love you both so much and glad to call you family. ❤ Let’s get married !!!

William - met the man in 9th grade in class. We had various classes together, and to top it off we lived in the same community. We made great memories together, from bus rides to high school, to college, to some late night escapees. He’s been there since day 1 for me from high and lows and been nothing but a true friend and one I call brother. Ruth - met you on the most random day haha. Will mentioned that he was picking up his crush and of course I had to tag along to see who is taking my spot. Of course we picked you up from home depot in Springfield and let me just say you made quite a great wild impression. At first I was like oh hell Will she is a wild woman and she will become your fire. I am nothing but excited to see y’all grow into your next chapter.

I met Ruth at church almost 6 six years ago when she came from GHana and we’ve been through a journey since then!! She’s amazing and tells it like it is haha but that is what is awesome about her. I knew when her and Will were just friends and then blossomed into a beautiful relationship. Congrats Ruth and Will!!🎊🎊🎉🎉😍😊

Hello everyone, my name is Faisal Khan. Just a mellow geek that loves to watch movies and to eat food. I've known William since high-school. Teachers always had to seat us away from each other, or else that whole period we'd be goofing around too much. Since then he's been like a brother to me. William and Ruth have supported me through some tough times. I am really glad that these two kind souls are finally getting married.

I met Will a little after I was born and spent many wonderful years of my life being his annoying little sister along with the tiring and busy job of annoying 2 older brothers. Unfortunately Ruth didn’t not have the luxury of being annoyed by me for those first 17 years of my life, but she had the pleasure of becoming my sister not long after meeting her! Jokes aside it didn’t take long for me to get close to and love Ruth especially seeing how much Will admires her. So I’m super excited to see them get married and join my family with her family legally because it honestly feels like we’ve already been family for so long ❤

I have known Ruth and Will since 2017. Our first encounter was at lighthouse Chapel International church where they visited for the first time. Ruth's friendliness attracted me to her and Will’s gentleness made him a great fit for an usher, I thought to myself. And shortly after he became part of the ushering team. The more they came to church the closer we became. Ruth is one talented lady and is very well rounded in life and a "Jack of all trades". Her tenacity and perserverance is contagious and can be noticed. I can't wait to be a part of your special day!

I’m Sophia,I’ve known Ruth since I was in the womb because she is my oldest sister so you know she is blood and what not lol. I met William through Ruth ofc at first I was like “save yourself because my sister is crazy” but he chose to stick around through all the craziness that’s when I knew he was the one for my sister, he actually passed all the “test” I gave him with flying colors. Ruth and William’s love for each other is actually amazing because they are complete opposite of each other but somehow it works. Of all the years I’ve know Ruth I have never seen her as happy as she is when she is around William and I am absolutely honored to be apart of this wedding and to have a new big brother.....let’s get MARRIED #WillBeAmponsah

I met Ruth shortly after I was born and I’ve had the pleasured being her royal pain 💁🏻♀️ for 24 crazy years (yes I’m the crazy sister). I met William aka Kwekuda (my favorite name for him) when he started dating Ruth and trust me he’s had his fair share of the crazy sister but I’ve grown to love him through the car rides to and from school, movie nights, special occasions among other memorable events. I’ve always referred to him as my brother in law and I can’t wait for him to be official. As siblings we’ve always talked about our wedding day and I’m ecstatic to see our lengthy talks become a reality. Let’s get married sis 🥳💃💍🙌 and welcome to the family Will ❤️🥰.
