Matron of Honor
Charnita and I have been best friends for over 10 years. I was in 10th grade and she came in as a freshman and literally stuck to me like glue. Charnita and I have seen each other through some of the worst and best moments of life. We have truly been through everything together. Over the years, I have watched her become an amazing mother and wife. To have Charnita standing with me on 10.8.2022 will be another special memory that I will forever cherish.
Best Man
Darnell is someone that I consider my older brother. Blood wouldn't make us anymore closer than what we are. Darnell and I have known each other for 16 years. We were introduced through a mutual friend at their rehearsal, then we were reintroduced through Andrew at a rehearsal we were having. From that moment on we became brothers. Darnell has literally been there for every single moment of my life, I can honestly say that he has been there for me through the good, the bad, and the ugly. Every moment of my life he has supported me. He has also had my back and has seen me grow in each phase of my life. To have my brother here with me and by my side as my best man, is something that I don't take lightly.
Maid of Honor
Taylor has been one of my most solid girlfriends. She and I went to high school together and we immediately became close. Taylor took me under her wing in the 9th grade and I have been with her ever since. No matter where we are in life, whether we talk every day or once every couple of months, Tay has been a consistent rock and I am honored to have her by my side on this day.
Groomsman
Ish and I met through a mutual friend of ours 8 years ago, where we both were called to play the same Gig. Ishmael is literally someone I can consider a close friend and a brother. He has been consistent and loyal throughout our friendship. Anyone that knows Ish can agree to the fact that his loyalty is unmatched. Ishmael was one of the first people that I consulted about this next phase of my life. He has given me advice and help through this process. I knew from jump that I wanted him to be one of my groomsmen, I am glad that he "Thought it not robbery" lol to be a part of this day with me.
Bridesmaid
Brittany is my "Work Wife". Brittany and I met at work literally in January 2021, I haven't even known this girl for a full year yet. She tried so hard not to like me but she couldn't help but love me. Brittany in such a short time has shown a great deal of loyalty and love to me and my family. There are some people that come into your life for a season and some that stay for a lifetime. She's here for a life time and I am honored to have stand with me on this special day.
Groomsman
I have known Andrew for literally half of my life. We were introduced through my mother, I remember her telling me "This is someone that I trust to be connected with you". From that moment Drew has grown to be a mentor, Uncle, covering, and more. Drew has literally been there through every single moment of my life from middle school to now. He has coached me through a lot of things that I went through, from some of the dumbest moments to some of the greatest moments. Growing up I've learned a lot from him that I now apply to my life to this day. It honestly wouldn't be right for me to have this day and him not even be in the lineup of groomsmen. I am honored to have him a part of another major moment in my life.
Bridesmaid
I met Antoinette in 2020 through Justin and her Husband who happens to be the Best man for the wedding. Though we haven't known each other for many years yet, we bonded immediately once we met. Toni is one of the most sweetest spirits, I have ever met. As we are continuously building our sisterhood and bond, I am super grateful to have her by my side at the wedding.
Groomsman
Charles and I have been friends for many years. He has been a consistent brother to me and I am super honored to have him apart of our special day.
Bridesmaid
Malikah is one of the best big sisters ever. She is another added addition to my sister tribe that came through Justin. Malikah embraced me from day one with her craziness but most of all her love and wise counsel. I am super honored to have her stand with me on this special day.
Groomsman
All of my groomsmen I consider my family. We also have known each other for about 12 years. I met this guy as well through Darnell. At the time I was playing for another church, where we were guests visiting his church. Funny enough we both played drums for that service, and from there we have grown to become family. I have stories for days on the things that we have been through, experienced, and witness. No matter what has happened between us we still managed to be brothers. From then to now we have seen each-other grow and now that i’m going into this new journey, I' am glad that he's here to witness the next step in my life.
Bridesmaid
Candice was one of the first people to embrace me when I started coming around Justin. She has become a true sister and someone I could truly lean on. I am so glad that we have become family because I am truly inspired by the woman and wife that she is. I am so happy to have her a part of our special day.
Groomsman
David and I have been friends since we were in Middle school. We officially met at a jazz rehearsal in York college Queens NY through a mutual friend of ours. Since that day we have been brothers. Mox is someone that I know for sure that I can trust to be there when I need him. Throughout the years, every gig we have had, everything we went through, everything we've witnessed, we managed to be there for one another. Having him here for my big day means alot to me.
Bridesmaid
Ahmani is one of Justin's Bestfriends/sisters. One thing I love about her is that she is super fierce. She is the sister that won't take anyone's mess and every sister needs that. I know Ahmani will not only have Justin's back but I know she has mine as well. I am so happy to have her a part of this special day.
Groomsman
Quentin and I have known each other going on 10 years. We met through Darnell my best man, and have literally been not only friends but brothers. Quinton has shown himself trustworthy in my life. He has given advice, helped me when I needed it, as well as had my back on numerous occasions. I knew from that moment I proposed that I wanted my brother to be one of my groomsmen.
Bridesmaid
Crystal is another one of Justin's best friends/sisters but she has become a great sister to me as well. Crystal is such a sweet spirit who has a heart of Gold. She has a radiant light that can NOT be dimmed. I am so honored to have her apart of this special day.
Groomsman
Ken…what can I say about this guy. I know for a fact that when I need him he is there. He has literally kept it real with me from the jump. I have never had to question his loyalty or he is or what he does. He is also someone I met through Darnell. Funny enough, how we initially met is a blur lol. But for the past 12 years, he has literally had my back in every and I mean every situation. To have him in the lineup with the rest of my brothers is only a testament to the loyalty that we have.
Flower Girl
Autuymn and Nala are my beautiful Goddaughters. They are both full of so much love and they are the sweetest little girls. We are so happy that they will be a part of this special day. Hopefully, they make it down the aisle without stopping to talk to everyone LOL
Ring Bearer
We are so excited to have our special little man a part of the wedding. Jiovanni is such a delight to be around. He is full of great energy and loves to play. We are so happy to have him a part of our wedding. Our prayer is that he doesn't get distracted while walking down the aisle.. LOL
