Our Wedding

'Twas the Year of 2019...

It all started with two aspiring 20-year olds meeting at the University of Georgia. Despite majoring in polar opposite studies, traveling out of state to separate graduate schools and entering their careers, Fajorah and Bryant's love has traversed from one life stage to the next. Years later, they have truly been able to grow together as they've watched one another blossom into adulthood. Witnessing someone grow in their faith, grow in their wisdom and grow in their fortitude is simply a gift and a testament of God's grace. May their love be unfettered and pure as they continue to walk God's path, everlastingly.

Fajorah and Bryant! I want you to know that nothing could be more beautiful than celebrating both of you. I’m proud of you both and wish you a long life, blended with love & happiness!!!

Together, they share a love that is genuine, strong, and inspiring, and we are overjoyed to welcome her into our family. We cannot wait to celebrate this beautiful day surrounded by love, laughter, and all of you who mean so much to them.

Bryant and Taiwanna Bolds

Hi everyone! I’m Fajorah’s older cousin and honored Maid of Honor. I’ve had the joy of watching Fajorah grow into the beautiful, strong, and driven woman she is today. Being by her side during this special time means the world to me. She and Bryant are a wonderful example of love and commitment, and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this next chapter with them!

Jennifer Vergeon

Hi everyone I’m Tasheena, the bride’s big sister. I’m so happy & excited about my sister Fajorah getting married! Seeing her grow up and become a married woman is such an emotional experience for the entire family. Fajorah and Bryant have been together for many years now, so it’s no surprise that they would eventually get married. What they have is truly special and it’s an honor to now call Bryant my brother in law. I’m excited to be a part of this journey and celebrate them together!

Tasheena Poteau

Hello I’m Waldania, Fajorah’s one & only little sis. I’m extremely excited to be a part of this huge, life changing experience that my sister and brother in-law are walking into. I’m honored to stand by her as a bridesmaid and contribute to making her day special. Having a close sibling walk down the aisle and get married is a crazy, but beautiful thing to see. Throughout the past few years, I knew this day would come. Learning & watching how two people can love, cherish, and respect each other is a blessing!

Waldania Poteau

Hello everyone! I’m Tatiana Bolds, the groom’s younger sister. From the moment I met Fajorah, I could tell she was something special~ I still remember her coming to my high school graduation party years ago, and thinking how naturally beautiful she is, inside and out. She truly is a ray of sunshine. Some of my favorite memories with her are the simple, joyful ones: like going ice skating together and smiling the whole time, or showing up in our matching “Grinch” Christmas sweaters at the 2024 Christmas Eve party. Moments like those make me so grateful she’s becoming part of our family. I’m beyond excited to call Fajorah my sister, and I can’t wait to stand beside her as a bridesmaid on such a beautiful day. I truly wish the very best for their future together.

Tatiana Bolds

Hi everyone! I’m Temira, the groom’s sister. I just want to say how happy I am to be here celebrating this day with all of you. It’s been so fun watching everything come together and seeing how excited everyone is.
I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Fajorah over time… she’s funny, easy to talk to, and always brings good energy wherever she goes. She fits right in with our family, and I know she and my brother make a great team. I’m so excited for what’s ahead for them, and I wish them nothing but happiness and lots of laughter in this next chapter together.

Temira Bolds

Fajorah and I met when we were paired as random roommates during our time at UGA.  Considering all of the horror stories I heard from friends who were paired with roommates randomly, it was not ideal that I didn’t have a say in who I was going to live with at the time. Looking back I never would have thought that I would have made a lifelong friend out of it, but I am so grateful to say I have. Fajorah and I clicked immediately and became really close that year. We shared so many laughs (and some cries too), and I will never forget the late night talks we would have when we would go into eachothers’ rooms and just hang out.  Even though we have lived far apart since college, it’s so easy for us to pick up where we left off and connect the same way we did while we were roommates.  I am so blessed and honored to have her friendship to this day and to be alongside her on one of the most important days of her life.

Haley Kasnic

Who knew that being randomly assigned as college roommates would turn into gaining a sister for life? 💕 Looking back, perhaps it was destiny bringing us together, as you have impacted my life in more ways than I could’ve imagined. From meeting freshman year to watching you fall in love, get engaged, and now walk down the aisle, it’s truly been full circle 🥹. I’ve been so blessed to witness your love story from the very beginning, and it’s been such an inspiration to see you and Bryant grow together through every stage of life.

I’m beyond honored that my very first experience as a bridesmaid is standing beside you and I wouldn’t want to take this journey with anyone else. Now, let’s pop the champagne and hurry up and make this girl a wife! 🥂 Congratulations to the future Mr. & Mrs. — I cannot wait to celebrate you both!

Ansley Lockett

I met Bryant in the summer of 2016 before our freshman year at UGA, and he’s been a constant source of friendship, humor, and positivity ever since.  I’m so grateful to celebrate my best friend’s special day and his union with Fajorah. It’s an honor to stand by his side as he begins this new chapter.

Nile McIntosh

I’m truly honored to stand by the side of the man my sister loves. Glad to have you both in my life as role models and now as family. This is truly inspirational!

Jowensky Poteau

Being a groomsman means standing beside your friend on one of the biggest days of their life. For me, I’m standing beside my new brother — offering support, love, and an overall good time that will help build new memories to last a lifetime. 

Jenkinsley Poteau

I met Bryant back in high school, where his dad was actually one of my teachers, and from there our friendship grew into something that’s lasted a lifetime. Even through college and all of life’s twists, we stayed connected, and now it’s an honor to stand beside him as a brother on one of the biggest days of his life.

Geno Bailey

By pure chance, I first met Bryant when we were placed in the same small group during our first year of medical school. I was struck by his calm confidence and the genuine kindness with which he carries himself, always making the people around him feel valued. As we got to know each other, Bryant shared his interest in anesthesiology, and his passion eventually convinced me to pursue the same path. Looking back, becoming friends with him so early on truly changed the course of my life for the better. The photo above is from one of our favorite shared experiences, the annual Anesthesiology conference.

Some of my best memories with Bryant go beyond medicine: like learning more about his love for food and art over dinners in New Orleans, or sharing late-night conversations about life while playing video games. Over the last six years I have come to see Bryant as more than just a close friend, he has become like a brother to me. I could not be happier to stand beside him as he begins this new chapter, and I wish him and Fajorah nothing but love, joy, and a lifetime of happiness together.

Farhan Lakhani

My brother ! We were locked in before we really even knew each other. The stories and memories we formed before I even got to UGA I could write a book on. Those who know know 😂 I specifically remember the day of your probate and how happy I was that you saw it through. I'll never forget your first words to me were "You're up next". Been a brother to me before we were brothers, always love my way 👌🏽

Chazz Lezama

Bryant and I met at a Terry College of Business summer camp my junior year of high school. Fast forward to my sophomore year of UGA when I walked on The Connections shuttle to go home and I happened to sit next to Bryant who also stayed at the Connections. We caught up and talked about how things were going with school and everything. I mentioned to him that I was interested in Greek life, and he asked me what organization I was interested in. The rest was history. This started our lifelong brotherhood. It’s a huge honor for me to be his groomsman due to the fact that he is someone that I have deep admiration and respect for. Bryant has always been a consistent and reliable person who I can call on no matter what, and he exemplifies what it means to be a true brother. I wish him and Fajorah a lifetime of love, happiness, and blessings as they begin this beautiful journey of marriage together.

Matthew Meadows

I met Bryant in the summer of 2016 during LSAMP, just before we started college together. It truly felt like divine timing. I relate to him deeply because we share a similar mindset—both of us are focused on getting things done. People who not only talk the talk but also walk the walk are few and far between, and Bryant is definitely one of them.



He has always been a calm and level-headed presence, no matter the situation, and I believe that is a remarkable quality in a person. Being a groomsman is especially meaningful to me because I’ve had the privilege of knowing Bryant from just after high school all the way to this incredible milestone in his life. It’s inspiring to witness the impact he has made along the way.



One of my favorite memories with Bryant is from our freshman year—riding around campus, listening to old-school R&B, and enjoying his impressive knack for singing. Those moments really capture the genuine and down-to-earth spirit he brings to every part of his life. 

Maurice Peoples, Jr

Hi! I’m Herna, and I’m so excited to be one of the flower girls for Fajorah and Bryant's wedding! I’ve known Fajorah for a long time, and she’s always felt like a big sister to me. I can’t wait to walk down the aisle, toss pretty petals, and see her in her beautiful dress! I’m so happy for them and wish them lots of love, happiness, blessings, and laughter forever.

Herna Gracy Jacob

Being a flower girl means so much to me because I get to watch my cousin walk into a new chapter of his life in prosperity. He has been an amazing role model in my life and has helped me get to where I am today. My favorite memory with him is watching him walk across the stage at graduation. Watching him inspired me to try hard enough so that I can walk across that stage, I can hear my name getting called, and I can be like my cousin. I believe that he is an amazing son, cousin, nephew, and soon to be husband.

Emma Dianne Sims

I’m so excited to be part of your big day, Bryant! Being your flower girl is a pretty big deal. How many cousins get to throw petals and look this cute doing it? I’ll always treasure this memory. I hope your life with Fajorah is full of love, laughter, and little adventures. I can’t wait to cheer you on literally and figuratively, celebrate with you, dance a little too much, and make even more unforgettable memories!
