We cannot wait to share our special day with you! Thank you for loving us as much as we love you!
Not every thank you could be printed, or we would have needed a book, but I wanted to make sure I was still able to recognize individuals.
Please know that we are thankful for everyone & if we could would write an individual on each person, as the Bride I felt in my heart I HAD to get these out. To know me is to know I appreciate everyone around me & struggle with taking in my own moment but these people have been my backbone through life, my relationship, motherhood and especially wedding planning. I HADD to give these flowers out.
To our traveling family & friends Thank you! To know how many miles were put on the highway & tickets were purchased to get here we are very thankful that you safely arrived to be with us & pray for safe travels heading home!
… We had someone in our bridal party travel from Japan!
Rhonda & Michael McCoy, My Parents! I can’t thank you two enough! From the support, me using the house for most my DIY’s & taking over the living room almost every weekend! To stepping in & helping! I love you guys & appreciate you two more than I can explain but THANK YOU!!
Dana Jones, our Officiant & Auntie!
Auntie, you have always told me “when you guys are ready to get married I can do it” so when we were starting our planning there wasn’t another person in mind to stand up there with us to help make our day special. Thanks for the check ins, advise & encouraging words always but especially through the wedding planning process!
Shannon, my Maid of Honor & MY Sister!!
I can’t think of a time you haven’t been one of my biggest cheerleaders & this wedding planning was no different! Thank you for not always showing up for me but my family! I appreciate you & I love you
Brandon, Our Best Man, my Brother! Thank you for being apart of our journey, you have first hand seen our relationship grow. Thank you for your support & being one of our biggest cheerleaders throughout our relationship. Sometimes I have to question whose brother you are because of the relationship you & La’Ron have but that truly means the world to me to know how close we are & to see & that you love him just as much. I think I can understand the love you have for him because you have blessed us with our Keisha & we are forever thankful for her
Love you B
Kayla! My Bridesmaid & little cousin!
Being stationed in Japan hasn’t stopped you from showing up & even making some decisions, dedicating time & mostly taking time to be here with me on MY DAY! I couldn’t thank you enough of your overall support a different country & time change means nothing to you! You don’t miss out. Thank you soooo much for being here! We love you!
Tonda Thomas-Bates, My Stylist & Big sister!
Not only did you check in every few weeks you let me know you were there, on my random questions & advise you were there down to my indecisiveness on my appointment! It’s not always easy being my parents oldest but knowing I have a Big Sister out there like you makes things better! Thank you sissy!!
I love you!
Gina Jenel, La’Ron’s Stylist!
Thank you for not only keeping his hair healthy & growing but making sure you had the best date available in your books for our photos with our bridal party, engagement photos & also to ensure he was wedding ready. Thank you also for even making sure you stuck with the style wanted & didn't let him even think about changing!
You are appreciated!
Nechelle Underwood, My Caterer & my Cousin!
Nene! Thank you for catering! Not only did we already know we loved your food we knew it would be cooked & prepped with love the set up would be amazing! Your check ins were appreciated throughout my planning. We have always been able to bring an amazing vision to life & I am glad it's being displayed at my wedding.
I love you!
To My Aunties Renae & Toya
I know i'm the best thing that has happened to you guys & i'm the favorite ( read that again Brandon) but I can't thank each of you enough for being the best aunties since I can remember.
From the autographed pictures - Renae, to the late nights up at granny's (T) just thank you both for always being a call/text away checking in & supporting us however.
Love you both!
The Fuquas, My Family! From my little cousins being my bridesmaids to my uncle making sure his business books were closed to be available for me to my aunt checking in & providing any information I asked. Even though once La'Ron was introduced my uncle replaced me from being his hang out partner (we still have our club membership) I can't thank you all enough for the overall support & unconditional love. I love yall
Thank you all!
To My Jefferson's!
Uncle J - I love you!
To my cousins, aunts & Uncles THANK YOU ALL! I can't thank each of you enough for just always thinking of me & being there. I know my dad not being here is a hurt that cannot be explained but to know I have you ALL makes my heart smile in a way that cannot be explained.
I love you all!
To ALL my grandparents, THANK YOU! I am very blessed to have many grandparents & that comes with taking in extra knowledge & wisdom & I truly can't thank you all enough.
As much as I miss my PawPaw, I know he is here with us through not only My Max, Auntie Renae, My Mom & Lauryn (he truly lives through her) through each person that loves me!
To My Team I created:
Ashlee, Ro, Joyia, Mimi, Jamar & Mann
Thank you all for being the people I could trust the most with making my day what I wanted. I appreciate the support up to the day, the check list to stay on track, the random "don't forgets," the countdowns, "are you nervous, you ready or need anything" and even the "Let me know who bother you, I want you to enjoy your weekend" messages and just all making sure Friday everything was packed up & moved.
I love you all & THANK YOU!
Family means the most to me & times like this these actions confirm why! My family new, old, non blood & even blood who have been there for US & did everything they could to make this day special. Even the vendors I have secured along the way have been amazing & truly everyone THANK YOU!!
