Wedding Party

R. Summer Taylor

Bride

Mark A. Waters, Sr.

Groom

Tori Ellis

Matron of Honor

Tori has been my bestie boo since our days in Southampton Middle School. She’s not only my friend, she’s my sister and I appreciate her for accepting this charge. ‼️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍

Iyana Taylor

Maid of Honor

This beauty is the daughter of the bride. She stands near and dear to her mother’s heart and always has her back. 💙💛

Khalilah Whitehead

Bridesmaid

This woman holds the tag of being the best comedian I know. We also went to high school together and ended up being next door neighbors for 10 plus years which bloomed into this pure sisterly bond. I’m glad to have had her as a sister/friend for so many years. We’ve surely laughed together more than we cried, or maybe both. 😂

Goletha Hayes

Bridesmaid

This is the open and honest one of the group that I affectionately call “Dump.” We’ve been sister friends for over 10 years now. However, she grew up knowing the groom from a very young age. She and the bride crossed paths in our younger years at church services and gospel programs but grew close because I started going to the laundromat where she worked to do my laundry. We have been as thick as thieves ever since and I love her like a blood sister.

Bianca Winder

Bridesmaid

This pretty lady is the groom's sister. She is full of life and makes her presence known when she enters the room.

Ashley Coleman

Bridesmaid

This young lady is a fellow registered nurse that became coworkers with the bride about 4 or so years ago. After helping Ashley transition into her office, we grew close and spent good times hanging out and catching up outside of work. She’s my foodie friend, and if there is a new place to try, a trip to take or somewhere fun to hang out, she calls and we go! We are years apart in age but you’d never know if you didn’t know us. 😉

Shaquana Payne

Bridesmaid

Anita Tatum

Bridesmaid

This woman right here is the twins Aunt. Not only that, she’s my forever sister and I love her just the same. She came into my life at a time when I was literally taken by surprise and I never thought we’d end up being this close. This lady is a lock in my life and I’m grateful to have her by my side for this special day.

Sydney Ivey

Bridesmaid

Syd is the great niece of the bride. She’s a sweet, smart and caring young lady that excels at everything she puts her mind to. She calls the bride her Auntie and her auntie loves her to the moon and back. I’m looking forward to spending this beautiful day with her! ❤️🤍

Saniya Ivey

Banner Girl

This is the bride’s great niece. I affectionately call her the earth child because whichever way the wind blows, this March baby follows it. She’s a talented & free-spirited young lady. She claimed she might be too big to be a flower girl, but she’ll be the one to let you know when “Auntie” is on the way. 💚🤍

Mariah May

Flower Girl

This little lady is just like a niece to the bride & groom. She is a little shy until the music drops! She absolutely loves to dance and is very good at it. She’ll be sprinkling some peace & love down the aisles on our big day! 🌹
