Our Wedding

In the summer of 2016, who could have ever imagined that our paths would intertwine, all thanks to a mutual friend and cousin. At first, we were simply friends, checking in on each other, sharing laughs and stories. It was a bond built on trust and understanding. But little did we know, this was just the beginning. By the summer of 2021, life had brought us back together, after all the twists and turns we’d faced separately. Through past experiences and heartbreaks, we found each other again—this time, ready to trust, to confide, and to believe in love once more. Then, in February of 2023, we received the most beautiful news—we were expecting a baby girl! And in March of 2024, with hearts full of love and hope for the future, we got engaged. The journey to this moment hasn’t always been easy, but every step has been worth it. We’ve grown, we’ve healed, and we’ve found in each other something truly special. Now, as we stand on the verge of forever, we are beyond excited to say I do and to have all of you with us, sharing in this beautiful chapter of our lives.

"Loyalty, honesty, and family are the guiding principles that define this incredible man. His unwavering support and wise counsel have shaped us all in profound ways. Without his influence and guidance, it's hard to say that the groom would be standing here today, ready to embark on this beautiful journey. He is truly an all-around great person to have in your corner, and we are all better for having him in our lives."

Marshell Fontenot

"A brother who stands by the groom — helping him choose wisely, supporting him through every step, and always lending a hand. Someone who truly cares not just about the groom, but about the journey and the outcome."

Jamal Druilhet

"You will never meet a little girl with as much spunk and love as she has. She’s the sweetest little soul you’ll ever encounter, and without a doubt, the best big sister anyone could ask for."

Paisley LaVan

"Cameron’s firstborn and the second oldest of the four, he’s an absolute delight to be around. And whatever you do, don’t get him started on cars – he could talk about them for hours!"

Dakota LaVan

"Kammy is Abri’s firstborn and the oldest of the four. His vibrant personality is truly unmatched, and his natural instinct to guide his siblings and show them right from wrong makes him not only a great leader but also an amazing older brother."

Kamryn Randall

"The first child of this lovely couple, this little girl is full of sass and knows exactly how to get her way. A true daddy’s girl, through and through."

Camdyn LaVan 

"Thick as thieves, these two have always been inseparable. The bride couldn't have asked for a better sister to stand beside her on this special day. And as an aunt, she is everything the kids could ever dream of – loving, kind, and always there when needed.

"A kind-hearted, genuine friend to the bride, she’s the one who’ll always tell it like it is with love. Whether you're in need of solid advice or just a good time, she’s the person you can always count on to lift you up and keep things real."

Richlyn Williams

"A true brother in everything but name—a steady hand that guided him through life’s storms, offering wisdom, strength, and unwavering support. Through every challenge, every triumph, he stood by him, not just as a friend but as a mentor, a rock. So on this day, the most important of his life, there is no one more deserving to stand beside him. It is only right that he be there, just as he always has been."

Rusty Metoyer

"A loyal friend of the bride and a loving cousin to the groom, their union wouldn’t be complete without her presence by their side. She has played a significant role in their lives, and this special day wouldn’t feel the same without her support and love."

Jonavae Motte

Growing up, Phil was a constant source of guidance and inspiration. He balanced warmth with responsibility, offering advice when I needed it and leading by example without ever being overbearing. Watching their dedication to both family and work shaped my own values, and I continue to carry the lessons they taught me into my personal and professional life today.

Turning up is her love language.
As someone who is like a sister to the groom and a friend to the bride, she brings the kind of energy that makes everyone feel seen, loved, and just a little more alive. She keeps us laughing, keeps us dancing, and keeps us grounded in what really matters. This day wouldn’t be the same without her — and honestly, we wouldn’t want to do it without her, either.

Amelia Caston

"A cousin who’s more than just family — a guiding hand during tough decisions, always standing by the groom’s side. Through every challenge, he's been a steady presence and a trusted voice."

Devin Guillory

"A true ball of fun and one of the most genuine, down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet. This wedding wouldn’t be the same without her – her laughter, warmth, and energy make everything brighter, and she brings such a special joy to this day."

Mckayla Adams

"Mr. Don Julio himself—the heartbeat of the groom’s side. He’s not just a guest; he’s a pillar of celebration, a steadfast supporter, and a guarantee that laughter and joy will fill the air. With unwavering loyalty, he stands beside the groom, ensuring that every moment is cherished, every memory is made, and every heart is full. From the first toast to the last dance, his presence is a promise that this day will be unforgettable."

Linden Smith

"If you're looking for someone who’ll tell you the hard truths with love, she’s the person you need. Always there with a listening ear and the best advice, she’s someone who cares deeply and wants the best for everyone around her."

Nedasia Augustus

“‘Brother’ doesn’t even begin to cover what this guy means to the groom. These two have been through everything together—good times, tough times, and everything in between. You rarely see one without the other. The bond they have is something solid, something real. And today, having him by the groom’s side doesn’t just make sense—it makes the day feel complete. He’s not just part of the story; he is a big part of what makes this day so special.”

McKevin Chapman

"She’s the kind of person who truly sees you for who you are. Loyalty and lashes mean everything to her. While her strong exterior might come off as tough, it’s really just because her confidence shines through – her face card never declines, and neither does her heart."

Delissa Goodly 

"Family, friendship, and loyalty are everything to him, and he’s always ready to stand firm on those values. That being said, he’s never one to turn down a good game of spades – and whatever you do, don’t touch his pot!"
