#BatobaForever
Wedding Party
Joy Thaxton
Matron of Honor
We have shared things our whole lives. Our barbie collections, a bunk bed, our dorm room in college. And now I get to share one of the most special moments in my life with you -- my wedding day I get to have you right by my side, every moment of the way.
Fatima Gomez
Maid of Honor
Our first time ever spontaneous trip to Miami for my birthday changed my life forever. We cruised down 95 and listened to Drake every chance we got. "All Summer Sixteen" on repeat. Who would've ever guessed after that trip I'd move to Miami, meet Yves, and find out that y'all went to school together!? God sure has a way of working things out.
Danielle Quintero
Bridesmaid
I knew you were riding until the wheels fell off back when you were letting me crash at your place, and then after we missed our flight coming back from Bimini. I still have the image of you banging on the airport window as our plane was set to take off without us. This is a sisterhood that I want for the rest of my life!
Chandrese Colebrooke
Bridesmaid
I look forward to our traditional story time every time we meet up. I know you're always going to lighten up my mood and ease my day! Chandrese is someone that every girl needs on their corner!
Tianca McBayne
Bridesmaid
Tiki was one of my first friends in Florida! When I moved here, we quickly formed a dynamic bond. Through thick and thin, our friendship strengthened. I’m so happy that she’ll be a part of my forever story! (:
Becca Boudry
Bridesmaid
I thought I'd never talk to you again after our internship and now I just can't get enough of you! You will forever be my fearless leader :)
Elliott Jeffcoat
Best Man
Since being roommates/teammates in college, we always joked around that we would be roommates for life. Still trying to talk Dawn into that one...
Lionel Batoba
Groomsman
I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for the disciplines that were instilled in me at an early age by my big brother, Lionel! To this day, he continues to keep me driven and inspire me from the west coast.
Nathan Batoba
Groomsman
Nobody brings me more joy than my little brother. I've been there for him every step of the way and there is nothing I wouldn't do for him.
Justin Southwell
Groomsman
We joined OSU football at the same time and have been in constant communication with each other ever since! I know Justin will always be someone who holds me accountable in life. #SouthToba to the world!
Christian Schroeder
Groomsman
Christian is someone with a pure heart and great intentions. We speak on a regular basis and I know we always have each other's backs.
Trey Thaxton
Groomsman
My soon to be brother! Since meeting him just before Dawn and I became a couple, he has always given wise counsel and has poured life into our relationship.
