Brittany & Tiffany
Our "I DO" Crew!
Emeraun Yarbourogh
Maid of Honor
Where do I began! I met my JUDY working at my current job. She was the first person that I became close with. She was my trainer. She continued to be nosey and get in my business asking me about my religion, my family, where I came from. I wanted to ask her who sent you "ma'am! I'm truly honored that you have accepted the role as my maid of honor! I'm a firm believer that it doesn't matter how long you have known someone but how they decide to show you what type of friend they're to you. You continue to show up for me everyday. You're the defintion of a true/ ride or die friend. Not only have you gotten to know me but you have also taking the time to build a relationship with my kids as their "Auntie Emmy" and also My maid of honor! I'm honored to have you stand beside me! Thank you!
Bryan Dandridge
Best Man
My BROTHER! Man....we have been through so much together. How in the hell are we even still alive after some of the stuff we've done lol! We've been each other's sounding boards in some of the most monumental decisions of our lives for the last 20 years! Knowing you continues to pay off everyday, and I hope I've been as good a Best Friend to you as you've been to me. Aneesa's Godfather,Malachi's Daddy, and a loyal friend! I can't imagine marrying ANYONE without you by my side!
Stephanie Hopkins
Matron of Honor
My Sissy!!! You're always there for everything! When your sister is getting on our nerves we call eachother. When I met your sister you were a little skeptical only because you love her, But you accpeted me with open arms and we have been inseperable. You're my petty partner. Since 2011 we have never missed a beat. I love you with all of my heart and I couldn't imagine anyone else taking the role as my Matron on Honor.
Malina Scott
Best Woman
BUD!!!!! You have become one of my most crucial thought partners, confidants, and filters. I value your time, effort, and presence in me and my family's lives. You continue to show me what effective loyalty, genuine concern, and applied effort in a friendship can do. Thanks for being my right hand and I couldn't embark towards this next chapter without you there with me. Thank you for being a friend.....lol!

Nakia Johnson

Brodyyyy!!! We have been through a lot over the years. Definitely a lot of firsts during our friendship lmao! But I want you to know you make me seem way more interesting than I actually am in real life lol! You embrace my DORK tendencies and always urge me to be myself and in your words, "F**K anyone who don't like it!" lol! I am glad that our paths crossed and can't wait to look down the line to my left on my special day to see you standing with me!
Aneesa B. Hopkins
Bridesmaid
Our first born baby girl. I know.......it's finally happening. We are completing our family soon and we love you for everything you are. Our beautiful poetic realist, who's also a dreamer, and an optimist. When we are all standing at the altar together I will look to you for comfort as I can be sure that this time we've finally got it right!
Kanika Hopkins
Brideswoman
HOPKINS! Something that binds us and makes our, "more than friends, we're family" flow hold true. You are truly my polar opposite but that doesn't stop our friendship from working so well. You exude confidence, are the life of the party, and are always "down for whatever", however we do share the same good heart. Thank you for everything you have done to ever show me and my family that you care. I can't wait to stand at that altar, look to my left while UGLY CRYING and see your ass doing the same lol. I love you fam and thanks for standing with me on my special day.
Zahnique W. Hopkins
Flower Girl
The Professor! You and Mama(Tiffany) share a love for all things intellectual and you have been blessed to possess my sassy attitude and personality. Everyone you come into contact falls in love with your clear dialect and unstoppable wit. You are truly way ahead of your time little girl and we are so proud that you are all ours! Thanks for being there to put the extra STANKY SPRINKLE on our special day! TEAM HOPKINS!
Shonda Jones
Mother of the Bride
Ma, Where do I begin.....you raised us on your own, not to discount your village because just as you do, I appreciate them all! However I have a clear memory of who made things happen for me and Anthony, and it was you! You taught me to be sincere, loving, gentle and genuine. I want to thank you for showing me that no matter what adversity I faced or good fortune I receive to always remain humble and be myself! I love you Ma, your princess is finally being treated like a Queen, my Prince Charming just happens to be a girl lol! Thank you for loving me and always accepting US, -Brittany AKA The future Mrs. Hopkins
Cornelia Hopkins
Mother of the Bride
Mommy, I want to thank you for always being there. For every time you've ever shown up for me I thank you! I would be lost without you in my life. You have guided me and loved me without limitations! Thank you for every tear you've wiped from my eye and every smile you've ever placed on my face. I want you to know that for every time I've foolishly in my youth taken you for granted, as a mother in my adulthood I appreciate all of the those moments that much more. Thank you for loving me and teaching me to love myself so that I can properly love someone else. I've found my Queen, thank you for being my Muse. Love always, your "big baby", Tiffany
Tony Dillard
Father of the Bride
Dad, Thanks for sharing in this journey with me. They say God doesn't make mistakes, and that things will fall into place in His time. I've always tried to trust God with our relationship and am grateful for second chances, forgiveness, and His grace. Looking forward to making new memories together. Love always your daughter, -Brittany
Walter Hopkins (R.I.P)
Father of the Bride
Dad, I'm so glad that Brittany and Zahnique got the opportunity to experience your love and for you to have loved them as much as I do, I truly thank you for those memories. You made sure that I promised that I would always treat Brittany with respect, to cherish, be attentive, sensitive, honest, supportive, and emotionally present. To be her protector as you had been mine. I hope that I reflect the woman you raised me to be and when my family think of me, they do so with the same admiration as when I think of the parent you were to me. Rest easy Dad, save a place for me and just know that you were right all along.....she was "THE ONE". Missing you relentlessly, but loving you always, Tiffany
Anthony Dillard
Brother of the Bride
Thank you for always being there for me! I can't imagine marrying the love of my life without you there with me. I love you so much and I hope that you are as proud of me as I am of you! Keep the Dillard name strong, because I'm about to be a Hopkins lol!
Christopher Holmes

NEPHEW! My first baby! I was 13 years old when my sister brought you home. You changed my entire understanding of what life was. Ever since even before I became a mother you've been like a bonus son to me and I've been a proud member of your village. You make me more and more proud to be your Aunt everyday. Papa would be proud of all you have accomplished and I'm honored to have you be a vital part of our special day!
