Morven, NC
We are so greatful to have these people standing by our side on our special day. God has truly bessed us with amazing friends. They have seen us at our worst & also our best. They have encouraged us in ways that we could not imagine. We love them no matter what! So with no further adiue....MEET OUR WEDDING PARTY!!
Maid of Honor Alicia D. Gatewood
My one & only BLOOD sister. I promise blood could not make us any more related. I love her, I hate her, then the cycle starts over again. She's my sister! She would not take any other position in my wedding but maid of honor. Trust me I tried! I believe that she would have went as far as buying the same dress & shoes & all...& when the processional starts she would jump out the crowd & let it be known who she was! Dear God in heaven lets leave it at that! I wouldn't have it any other way though.
Matron of Honor Knyata G. Chambers-Smith
My Yata! We been trill since freshman year of college. TRILLVILLE!! HA Since the first day I meet you, I knew you would play a major part in my life. You have been my voice of reason & I have been your funny bone. I have spent ur whole relationship trying to instill some rhythm into those hips of yours, & I can say you made me proud at your wedding. Now its my turn to make the ugly face coming down the aisle, just make sure they get my good side.
Bridesmaid Tori J. Caple
My A-1 since day-1. You is smart. You is kind. You is mine! I love you more that you know. We've been on many dummy missions after each reunion trying to find some type of entertainment. We'd end up being late & getting "that talk" from ma ma. Until this day, that still happens! So if you still down with the "reunion dummy missions" you got shotgun! Lets not forget about the New York trip! I promise we walked 40 blocks to the club, in heels. Then caught the cab the last 5, HA!
Meet The Party
Bridesmaid Avery L. Blackwell
My brown eyed, pit bull loving bestie! Hey what's Sunshines real name? Jessica. Oh yea nevermind its Sunshine! I'll never forget that. You know that one friend who when everyone is dressed she wants to change her dress, but you changed because of what she has on? Now everybody has to go change! Yep thats my boo Ave. One of the first people I told I was engaged after it happened. You & Nika scared everyone in Chilis with your screaming. Oh my ree! Oh by the way she's a Tar Heel fan.
Bridesmaid Bree'Ona J. A. McClure HA!
Breezy my breezy! My Cali baby. Wherever the wind blows is where Bree will go. Never start a sentence with, "ok Bree be honest with me" She'll give you this look with her eyebrow & baby its about to go down. Feelings or not, its tough love. I can count on you to be brutally honest with me & always tell me the real. Even though it took her 5 years to take her own advice of listen to your heart, she finally opened up & let real love in. If this doesn't work, I feel sorry for the gerber baby! Keep being special, sophisticated & sexy!
Flowergirls Ja'Miya Ingram Amyrionna Smith & Sariya Smith
My baby girls! These girls are the daughters of Natasha Cash, bestie since high school & Knyata Smith. Ja'Miya & I share the same birth day. Leos!! Amyri is the 4 year old mini diva. Sariya the ball of energy. Always on 10! These girls never cease to amaze me!
Ring Bearer Ja'Marrion L. Bennett
My little man knows how to be sharp in a Sunday suit! He is likes spending time with his family. This 7 year old loves to play 2k14 on his xbox. His favorite team to play with is Lebron James & Miami heat baby!! Enough said.
Best Man Chad A. Smith
What can I say about this guy, this is blood right here. This is my younger brother and we have seen each other through some rough times, from his side and mine. I always know that no matter what happens we will always be there for each other, no questions asked. If he needs me I'm there and vise versa, without hesitation. We have also had a lot of great times that will never be forgotten. This is the only person that has the exact same type of humor as me and I love it.
Best Man David P. McFadgen
My brotha from anotha motha. This dude right here is like a long lost brother. From the time we started hanging this has been my ACE, this man and I have formed a bond that I believe will never be broken, I love this guy. In college this guy & I did absolutely EVERYTHING together. When you saw me, you saw him. We had too much fun being teammates (shout out to North Carolina A&T Track and Field) too many laughs to count. I still remember the time when we had to change rooms at a hotel because of problems with the room and for absolutely NO REASON! We were laughing uncontrollably the whole time we were moving stuff from one room to the other (don't judge us lol) Whatever it was that happened we definately thought it was funny. I THROW MY MONEY ON THE FLO!!!!!!
Groomsman Evan J. Smith
This is my youngest blood brother, the baby boy. Yeah he maybe a little diferent, yeah he maybe a compter nerd, and yeah he maybe kung-fu fighting in the back yard from time to time, but I love this guy. That's what him & my little cousin Malik was doing the first time Jess came to meet my mom. ( shakes head) Aye anytime you want to kung -fu fight in the back yard, I'm witchu bruda NEGRO NINJAS UNITE!!!! lol
Groomsman Jerrecolm M. Wyatt
Another one of my teammates from college, good ole "jerkem" lol. This is the first person I made a brotherhood bond with other than my blood brothers. My freshman year at A&T was a blast all because of this guy. We were all OVER that campus, causing all types of mischief, causing a rukus, and just generally being all-around rambunctious. We must have set a record for being sent to the coaches office. Almost everyday we would here Coach Space say "ay I need to see ya'll brothas in my office, I need to talk to ya'll" smh. We heard that WAY too many times.
Groomsman Ronald Buchanan Jr.
ROOOOOOOOOON!!!!!! This is another one of my teammates from college. We were roomamtes and we DEF had some fun times. We also had some bad ones. But through the good and the bad we will always remain boys. I'm proud of how successful this man has become and even more proud to call him my friend.
