Since the day you were born, life has been so much brighter. You are the perfect example of a good man, a Godly man, a family man, and what a loving brother should be. I cannot express enough how much you mean to me. No one can compare to you, my brother. You knew the day would come when I would get married again, and you agreed to marry me. As an ordained minister, you are the one performing the ceremony. I couldn't be more elated. You are not only standing with me; you have always had/have my back. I am one proud Sister of the man you are. Thank you for always loving me. I love you to the moon and back to infinity.

I'm capable of walking down the aisle alone but I'd rather it be with my first heartbeat. Sam is my first heartbeat who will have my back regardless. He is insightful and methodical, like someone I know. He is a good man, a family oriented fellow who makes sure his family is taken care of. Only a true father could choose fatherhood and master it so well. I couldn't be any prouder of who he is. He is by far one of the most wonderful accomplishments in my life.

My day wouldn’t be complete or exist without you Mommy so I’m getting hitched with you by my side. I thank God for blessing me with a supportive Mother. You have always been in my corner so we are not going to change anything now. I love you to the moon and back to infinity.

I needed something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue, but mostly I needed you! You've seen me through thick and thin now I hope you will be with me when I marry him. You are such a sweet spirit that I have admired. I hope you accept my proposal and say yes! You did accept my proposal and I'm glad you did. I am one unorganized Sister at this time in particular, yet you keep everything on track no matter what. It had to be you to keep me on track for my wedding. Thank you Ma'am I appreciate you for all you have done, and all you do. Much love.

As my Sister who will be in my life forever, will you help me marry your new best friend? On my wedding day, I will need you more than ever, please say you'll be my Maid of Honor… and my friend forever! I can't say “I do” without you. I need something old, something new, something borrowed and most importantly… you!

Let’s be honest: I’m too disorganized to do this alone. I need my ride or die, Mary. 😁Mary is intuitive; she sees the big picture and creates masterpieces. She is always positive and industrious. She is mature, sweet, loving, and kind. She will give you the blouse off her back. She reminds me of me😁 She is by far one of my best accomplishments in life.

I can’t promise I won’t be a bridezilla, but I can promise free booze and lousy dancing.😁 Monica is always down with me, like four flat tires. You come this way. She is like my Peter. She will cut you. And vice-versa. No one will support me like her. She is the Taskmaster. She gets things done, and I love that about her. She is dependable and strong. I love her tenacity. She's always seeking higher knowledge and understanding. I'm incredibly proud of her. She reminds me of someone. She is one of my most significant accomplishments in life.

I know when and I know where, but what I know is I can’t do it without you there. I promise the dresses won’t be too hideous. You are that defensive player who is always making moves. But as the middle blocker, you will always be a beast. You will bend over backward to help others. You are loving and kind. You know your boundaries, and that works for you. I’m proud of the woman you are. You remind me of someone. You are by far one of my most significant accomplishments.

I need a little girl to carry my flowers down the aisle. I am glad you are excited about being in the wedding. You are My shadow, my lil minime. I’m a blessed grandmother to have you in my life. You are extremely smart and comically funny, I wouldn't trade you for nothing in the world. I love you to the moon and back.

We need someone to escort the flower girl and securely carry the ring. Who better to do that than a dapper young man such as yourself? Thank you for agreeing to be at our wedding as the ring bearer we appreciate you and your commitment to security.

On Saturday mornings, I have been attending a Men’s Group for more than two years now. Hank leads our group. But also, Hank has been meeting with me individually for discipleship using the book “The Christian Man.” I am grateful to be Hank’s brother in Christ and also a really good friend. We inspire each other to grow as individuals and more importantly, as dedicated followers of Jesus.

I am so very grateful for my mom. Her love for me is endless and unconditional. She believes in me and expects me to be upright and honest. I want to make her proud of me, so I have lived up to her expectations. From her I inherited my love for and talent in music. I love you, Mom!

Plain and simple, I love my sister Beth. She is devoted to her God and follows Jesus fearlessly. Her faith in believing that God will direct her path is solid. I have to admire her devotion to her family too, she lovingly cares for her husband and her four sons. And I have often seen how

My older brother Steve inspires me to be the best I can be as I have always looked up to him as an example that is well worth emulating. I highly respect him as an individual, and he respects me too. As my elder brother and my best example, Steve motivates me to reach my full potential.

Minister Leroy Hinton is a man after God’s heart. He is a humble, gracious gentleman, and we are blessed to have him as a part of our wedding. I have had the pleasure of knowing Leroy and his lovely wife Donna almost 20 years and he is the same every time you meet him. Anything you ask of him he is prepared to do. He even agreed to do pre-marital counseling for Dan and I which was important. We thank him for all he had done and thank God for his love and friendship with us.

Paul married my sister Beth many moons ago. I consider him, though, to be my brother. Through the years, I have followed him as he started a church and grew it into a thriving fellowship, all with the power of the Holy Spirit. Then he became a gold-standard realtor. Always, his mission has been to grow people in their relationship with God. And I greatly admire his success in accomplishing that mission!

Michael is a man of God who loves to praise His name. His yes’s are yes and his no’s are no’s. If he tells you he will be there, he’s got you. He’s a southern fellow and he loves to burn. Michael is one of the nicest respectful men there is. He loves God and his family. He and his lovely wife Rhonda have raised their children under the instructions of God. Michael retired from the military but wasn’t finished contributing to society as a whole so he keeps providing services to the government. You can take the man out the service but, you can never take the service out the man. Thank you Michael for agreeing to be our Head Usher. You are truly a blessing to us.

My nephew Schafer is deeply devoted to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He loves playing basketball (since he was 4 years old), and I admire his tenacity on the court. He is always improving his game. I am privileged to play a small role in Schafer’s life

My man Drew is sensitive to others and frequently expresses his concern for his family and friends, and lots of others too. He loves basketball and hustles more than any other player on the court. I totally admire his skill and love watching him play. I know Drew has a deep commitment to Jesus Christ and a desire for his friends to follow Christ too. I highly commend him for that.

Zim enjoys mountain biking (yes, he does not play basketball); some day I’ll try mountain biking, some day! I remember hearing about Zim – when he heard that there wasn’t a Bible study group at his school, he started one. Wow! That’s fantastic.

Gary is, in my humble opinion, the workhorse for the chapel's Audio/Visual equipment. Bro. Gary is a can do guy. I initially asked Gary to be the AV man and take photo's he said can do, but when I thought about it realistically it was asking way too much but he said yes without skipping a beat. Anything you ask of him he says immediately "I Got This" and "Too Easy" Gary's military experience as a Command Sargent Major allows him to take charge and get anything he does do, done with the quickness. He is man after God's heart. A Christlike- gentleman that would give you the shirt off his back. We are truly blessed to have a Brother like Gary to agree to be apart of our special day.
