Sister of the Bride
Yall, I am obsessed with their relationship. I see the way they interact with each other. I see the way they support each other. I even see the way their fashion compliments each other! Let’s go back and reflect. With the exception of college, I have lived with my sister my entire life. My sister puts her heart into everything she does, and relationships are no different. But this relationship was different. When Roosevelt told me his plan to propose, I immediately burst into tears. Hell I'm tearing up writing this. At that moment I knew my sister was in good hands. I knew my sister was not settling. I knew my sister was genuinely happy. I knew my sister deserved this type of love. Won’t He do it? I couldn’t be more excited and honored to witness this union. Congrats to the Moneyteam!!!!

Dearest Mr. Moneyham, I've known Danielle Andrea Griffin for her entire life, or at least that is what she tells everyone. She was there to witness me almost drown during our family trip to Disney World. She also watched me attend the world's best HBCU, & begin my career. As much as she was watching me, I was watching her even harder...in pure amazement. She is pretty awesome & one of my dearest friends. Danielle is considerate, loving & most of all she will be your personal cheerleader. There have been times when she heard me ugly cry & instead of giving me reasons to give up, she showered me with encouragement to keep going. She has continued to pray for me & spoken absolute greatness into my life. For that I am truly grateful. You guys continue to be good to each other. I love you both!

Hey! Courtney here (Maid of Honor) and the person who gave Danielle the Phoenix alias! I gave her that alias because she has the ability to bounce back and thrive throughout any challenge or tragedy. She’ll never back down, she won’t give up, she will not let love die, and she’ll stay the course. Oh and did I mention that she’ll never let the people closest to her get caught losing? That has nothing to do with being a Phoenix, but that is the reason why my bio pic is fresh asf because she’s THAT friend! So, I ask you Roosevelt Moneyham thee 3rd — what’s not to love?🤷🏽♀️

Dear Roosevelt, Danielle & I have been BFFs for 18 years & honestly, I can only think of how she has gotten on my nerves. She doesn’t listen, she's pushy, & she always thinks she’s right. It’s also why she's my BFF. It's why she will be a fantastic wife. Because life can be so hard, you need a wife who believes in you (your dreams/purpose) when YOU don’t believe. When she knows your dreams, she will make sure you achieve them (this may not feel good). She will be brutally honest @ times simply because you cannot conquer what you refuse to face. She will make sure you always remember who God called you to be. This is her purpose as your wife. This is how #TheMoneyteam will win. So, when she is getting on your nerves, remember my wise words. She was mine long before she said “Yes” to you.

Roosevelt, You got a good one, but you know that already. I met Danielle in college. I learned very quickly that she is confident, fiery, bold, spontaneous & independent. All character traits that some women fight their entire lives to find within themselves. She's also self reliant, highly motivated & ambitious. How does this benefit you? These characteristics are what make a good partner. You will never receive passive-aggressive mixed signals, you will never get bored and you will never have to carry any load alone. A woman like Danielle is classic, she can both fight alongside you during challenging times but will also be right there leading the charge to celebrate the light at the end of the tunnel. This is what makes her a great friend and it is also what will make her a great wife.

Roosevelt, I can't remember how long I've known Danni. God must have known my desire for a big sister, so He sent me her. She will love you unconditionally even on the days when you struggle to love yourself. She will pray over you when you can’t quite muster up the words. I can guarantee that Danni will encourage you on days you don’t feel encouraged. I struggle with practicing patience, but Roosevelt, you seriously got blessed with Danni because Lord knows she’s one of thee most patient people I’ve met. I'm so happy you guys are engaged! I can lend my fashion expertise as she picks out her luxurious wedding dress. If left up to me, she’ll be draped in the finest cloths to match your dapper style. You chose an amazing God sent woman & I look forward to having you as a brother-in-law.

Dear Roosey, 4 score & 3 years ago a friendship was born & we eventually became Essential Friends Forever (EFFs). Essential because there is an indescribable quality to our friendship—it is “Of the Essence”. Our friendship is the stuff of friendships - crucial, vital & important. I am forever grateful for her super power, LOVE, her charm, smile, candor, companionship, intellect, loyalty, humor, cheerleading, support, & strength. It just so happens that these qualities will also make her a fantastic wife for you. I love her enough to marry her but because I’m generous, taken & not attracted to women— I’m willing to share her with you. You’re welcome. This miracle is just the beginning of a lifetime filled with them. You both love each other perfectly & I’m excited for your union!

Dear Roosevelt, Danielle will make a great wife because she’s amazing. There isn’t a time I can remember hanging out with my cousin and not having a great time (including Halloween parties!). She’s smart, funny, and a beautiful person from the inside out. She’s always been supportive anytime the kids or I have requested support, be it a birthday invitation, Girl Scout cookie sales, whatever. I’m certain she’ll be as supportive a wife as she’s been a cousin and friend.
Best Man
My name is Carlton and Roosevelt and I attended and graduated from Von Steuben Metropolitan Science Center. So, being friends for over 20 years I can say that I know him very well. With that being said, this is the perfect time to become a husband for Roosevelt. He has matured and is responsible, loyal, and dedicated to Danielle and the life the will make together. He will give 110% to please Danielle and I pray he will spends the rest of his life with and have some children soon. #MoneyTeam 2018.

I believe Roosevelt is “the one” for Danielle because of his commitment to his loved ones. As far back as I can remember Mookie has had a heart of gold. Anyone who has ever crossed his path that needed help, if he was able, they received it. Over the years Mook, has become an even better man. I know in my heart he will put Danni first in everything. He is a great "catch"f. Not to mention no kids, great career and lived alone. Sounds like a winner to me! Also, I believe Danielle is perfect for him too. He needs her in his life. Mookie, being full of rough edges is now ready to let Danni soften them some; The true settle down; The real “till death do us part!” So Danielle, please do us all a great favor, and make Roosevelt the luckiest guy in the world!

My name is Terrell Steward, I've known "Jay" for almost 20 years and I knew he was a special guy. Jay has always had this studious aura about himself that told people he was a good dude. He's always respectable, thoughtful, and a responsible man to the best of my knowledge lol. He always wanted more out of life and pushed himself to make things happen to get it. Jay is not a quitter, he doesn't panic when things get tough he deals with them accordingly. A dependable man is what he is, if he say he's going to do something you can take that to the bank. Some of these great qualities in a man are rare, especially now a days. Jay will be a great husband. He has the qualities already in him and he's smart and a good listener. Love you guys many blessings on your union!

If you have no idea who I am yet, I'm Tony B Horton. I have been knowing Roosevelt for 20 plus years. We attended Von Steuben High School together. I have watched Roosevelt mature from a boy to a man, and I can honestly say that I am proud of the man that he has become. I think he will be a great husband because he was raised to be a respectable young man.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Roosevelt for close to 10 years and in that time, he has been a teacher, coach, therapist, brother, and friend to me. He is definitely a person that I can say helped mold me into the man that I am today. I am honored to be apart of the wedding of two great people! Since meeting Danielle, I could tell that she was the one for Roosevelt. You two compliment each other’s personalities very well and you both want to see each other win. That to me is the makings of a good team(#MoneyTeam!) I wish you all nothing but the best and many many years of joy and happiness!

Dear Danielle, Oh how blessed you are! I've known Roosevelt Moneyham III since 2005 as a brother, fraternity brother, comrade, roommate, and most importantly as a dear friend. Beyond these descriptions, as you know, Roosevelt is a lot of things to a lot of people: a leader, personal lifeline, president of the fun committee, lender, guidance counselor, and a voice of reason. I'm confident that these characteristics, and many more will make "Mookie" a great husband for you. Notwithstanding these qualities, I'm even more confident—from watching how Roosevelt is around you and listening to him speak about you—that he is the truly blessed and lucky one. I’m excited for both you, happy that Roosevelt is moving forward with the perfect woman for him, and honored to be part of this occasion.

Dear Danielle, Roosevelt is my brother. We met in 2005 at an info session for the Theta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Inc. at Northwestern, were coworkers for years, and had countless good times. I know he will make a good husband. Why? He is a family-oriented, loyal man and always takes care of his family. He’s dependable. Anyone who knows him will agree and he can always be counted on when needed. He’s always trying to better himself. This is probably my favorite thing about him. He is reflective and open to making changes to improve himself in all areas of life. He’s responsible and not “too good" to do anything for his loved ones. The man makes good decisions. He joined the right fraternity! He’s friends with me. Lol! Roosevelt is one of the best men I know. I wish you all the best!
