I’m Khristi with pleasure of being the Matron of Honor. Been on this journey with my people since sophomore year of high school, “Pepettes”. My wishes for ya’ll are on good days and bad, keep choosing each other everyday. The greatest reward ❤️

Hello I am Ernyse! I have known Ernyka since she was 6 years old. I can say that I have been around since the inception of Ernyka and Deangelo’s relationship. I am Ernyka’s little sister, who will also serve as the Maid of Honor. I am so happy to be able to witness this union as they have been an example unconditional love, commitment, and perseverance. I’m wishing the couple a lifetime of happiness, love, and laughter!

I am Stephanie Jackson, Ernyka’s first cousin and first best friend. I will be a bridesmaid in the wedding. Growing up, we were raised like siblings. Ernyka’s mouth got us all in a lot of trouble. This one particular time, we were all living together in Champaign, IL, and everyday on the bus stop, we'd get bullied by this group of 5th grade THUGS(😂). We were in kindergarten, first, and second grades so 5th graders were HUGE in comparison. They beat us up Monday through Friday like it was a job. Well one morning, the head bully decided she was going to let us make it for the morning. So I was sitting there trying not to even breathe too hard. Ernyka on the other hand wanted all the smoke. The girl made the awful mistake of touching Ernyka's new, navy blue hair bows....LIKE WHYYYYY. Ernyka snapped and said "Don't touch my hair bows! My Aunt Tracey just got me these!" I was like OMGGGG we JUST got a free pass today! Sure enough as soon as we got off the bus it was over for us😭 Honestly, the bus driver should've been fired. Also Ernyka could've let that slide, but she is actually physically incapable of backing down and I love that about her! My wish for her and D is that they would put Christ at the head of their marriage & see the goodness of God in every area. That their children will live in generational blessings & not curses. And that they will experience a life they could've never imagined full of love even when they're in disagreement, full of joy even when things aren't going their way, full of peace even when life seems hard or chaotic, full of kindness, and gentleness, and patience, and self-control even when they want to lash out. May their marriage stand the test of time until they meet God face to face & He tells both of them "Well done My good and faithful servants." That is my wish for you both. -Love always, GG

Dayanna, I have the pleasure of being an bridesmaid, a bestie, and sister to the bride and a friend to the groom. DeAngelo and I were neighbors in our younger teenage years, I got to know Ernyka through my cousin Tk and she became my PG13. We have so many memories but my favorite is when I was in the ultrasound room when they found out about the twins🥰🥰 I always say they been together since kindergarten and I hope and pray they continue to grow together in love, knowledge, and wealth. Congratulations DeAngelo & Ernyka I love yall.

Hello, my name is Diamond and I’m a bridesmaid. I met Ernyka who I fondly called Jessica in middle school. Although I wasn’t there the night that she met D’Angelo, I’m sure I’m the first person. She called the next day to tell me all about this guy she met at the dance. I could tell hundreds of stories from the early days of the relationship, but I think it’s best that I keep those in the vault. I am wishing the happy couple a lifetime filled with joy, laughter, and love. May your days be filled with love and your challenges be met with unity. I pray your love grow stronger each and every day. And I pray that your marriage is everything you dreamed of and more. I love you both.

Well duh that’s my sister and brother lol. I met this beautiful couple when I was only 15. That’s when Ernyse and I became friends and shortly after learned that we lived around the corner from each other. As time grew and we all got older, they became family to me and took me in as the little sister. No matter how big or small, if I needed anything, it was no questions asked. For that, I thank and appreciate you both! I will be bridesmaid. Ernyka and DeAngelo, May God bless you and your union abundantly with unconditional love, understanding, happiness, and a firm foundation. Trust in his guidance that he will lead you every step of the way. You have overcome many milestones together, which have not always been easy. However, it is a blessing to see that you two have prospered and made this commitment to exchange vows and become one. I love you both and wish you a lifetime of blessings as you begin this journey as husband and wife. With Love, Precious

My name is Bryanna and I am one of the Wedding Coordinators. Ernyka has a few bestie's standing by her side and I will be the one behind the scenes to help ensure her day goes as she wishes! I have known Ernyka and DeAngelo both since middle school. Ever since then Ernyka has been my best friend and DeAngelo has been my brother. I have had the "pleasure" of serving as their on call relationship counselor without pay for many years 😂 I am so happy for them both! I pray for a lifetime of love, affectionate communication, joy, patience, peace and plenty of bags💰! I love you both and I can't wait to witness your big day!

I met Deangelo “Dlow” in 2003 during our junior year of High School. I later met his girlfriend Ernyka, who is the only girlfriend I ever knew him to have, although she did run off one at a later date. The three of us developed a close bond, Dlow become my brother, and Ernyka, my sister. I am grateful for their union, and honored to be his best man. I pray their marriage is full of enjoyment, happiness, peace, and blessings, and they continue to grow and cherish their love for one another.

I'm Jae and I'm one of the wedding coordinators. I've had the pleasure of knowing Ernyka since November 2019. We met at a book event where she politely cursed me out for how I wrote one of my books. I thought that would be it, but I needed a test reader for another book and reached out to her. Needless to we've been down ever since. Shortly after that she introduced me to D and the kids. My wish for them is to keep the lines of communication open, listen to understand and not to respond, and to keep loving each other even when you want to wring each other's neck. I love y'all!💜
