I was mostly an introvert until I met the lovely bride to be who helps keep me grounded in life.
Jonathan (Tex) Alexander
Groomsman
I'm Jonathan Alexander though you'll never hear anybody refer to me as that. Really I'm Tex. I got that nickname when I moved from Texas to New Jersey in early high school where I met Jammahl and Brandon over two decades ago. Since then we've all been thick as thieves... Sometimes actually thieves... But those are stories for another time I guess. I now live in a small suburb of Los Angeles called Valencia with my grown daughter when she's not at college. Jammahl and I are and have remained close and are both much much cooler than Brandon.
Stephanie Francis
Bridesmaid
Stephanie Francis is the younger sister of Jammahl, and couldn’t be more thrilled about his marriage to Courtney, and to officially welcome her and their son to the family. Though her brother sometimes really grinds on her nerves as much as any sibling would (😂), their bond runs deep and a testament to the unbreakable ties of our family. Stephanie is 32-years-young (33 in September), and an Art Director living in Jersey City with her dog-spirited cat named Romí.
Brandon Miller
Groomsman
Hi, I am Brandon Miller from Richmond, Virginia. I am married to Ashlee Miller and we have 2 kids, Audree (6) and Braylon (3). I met Jammahl back in high school in New Jersey back in 2003, as we were both military kids. Ever since then, Jammahl has been like a brother to me over the years, as we bonded over sports, video games, and good food!
Leah Brown
Bridesmaid
Hi, I am Leah Brown from Houston, TX. Courtney and I are paternal cousins and have been close since childhood. I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of Jammahl and Courtney’s big day!
