Stacy & Chauncee
Wedding Party
Stacy Hawkins
Bride
If only I could find words no person has ever used. An unexplainable feeling. She ignites the flame that shines light into my happy place. Her love and patience brings me peace like tall grass in an open field. She’s everything I’m not; for that, I learn and grow on a daily. Her high spirits and big smiles are a reflection of her beautiful heart. It’s like she was made for me! The Love I have for this woman is out of this Universe. I choose her everyday. Our Special Day will be one to forever remember! With Love -Chauncee-Ali
Chauncee-Ali Gilliam
Groom
Chauncee is a true gem. Authentically, unapologetically, and magnetically himself despite what the world has to say. Being with him is a place I’ve never known. He pushes me past my comfort zone, and fosters growth. I wasn’t looking for a perfect match in life. What I found was a good balance. Someone who isn’t afraid to address the ugly and dance in the rain. Let’s not forget that Chauncee pays close attention to my emotional, mental, and physical needs; for that, I’m very grateful. I’m so luckily to have this gem love the crap outta me too. - ❤️ Stacy
Shardell Spriggs
Matron of Honor
Shardell is the oldest of my four siblings. I still remember taking her 4x6 photo to elementary school to tell people she was MY SISTER… And my school mates didn’t believe me. She is not only beautiful, she’s brilliant. She’s taken the lead role in being the Matriarch of the family and continues to be an amazing woman, mother, and wife. A true inspiration that I’m lucky to have by my side.
Deion Gilliam
Best Man
My other half… Literally! My twin brother has been by my side through my life’s journey. His unconditional support and love never goes unappreciated. Although I’m the oldest, there’s so much idolize about him. I couldn’t be any more proud of who he’s becoming. He definitely keeps me on my toes with his honesty. Never a dull moment with this dude!
Tanaya Moore
Bridesmaid
Tanaya is a true princess with her ladylike poise and style. I met her through a close friend many years ago. Once our free spirits met, it was like two flower girls in a sunflower field. We partied like rock stars at festivals and supported each other through tough times. We share a love for crafts and all things that shimmer. As a trusted advisor and confidant, I needed my bestie as my bridesmaid, duh!
Shaquanna Bell
Groomswoman
Great friends are hard to come by. Que just so happens to be one of my really close friends. She’s always a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, and a good advisor. You’re never bored with a friend like her. We met when we were embarking our culinary journey, and we’ve been in each other’s corner since. She’s direct, she’s honest, and one hell of a leader. I’m super exited to share this special day with her as part of Team Groom.
Yvonne Gilliam
Mother of the Groom
Tough as nails, but soft as cotton. I’d say my mother over the years became my safe haven. You know that saying, “Mothers know best”… well let’s just say, I’ve learned to understand that the hard way. Growing and overcoming different hurdles together, she’s been super supportive and devoted to my growth and life choices. Her wisdom and patience is what I adore most. I couldn’t imagine any Special Day without her in my corner.
Jerry Gilliam
Father of the Groom
My Super Hero in the flesh will forever be my Pops. His commitment to loving and taking care of his family never goes unnoticed. He doesn’t realize it, but his “Man-to-Man” talks help keep my head held high. His determination to be the best versions of himself reflects in me. I’m honored to be a GILLIAM, and a son of his.
