Jason Adams - Groomsman
My line brother who I consider my "honorary link". Alpha may have brought us together, but over time you've become like a blood brother.
Cornell Lynch - Groomsman
We bump heads the most--probably because you find it hard to admit I'm always right! Alpha brought us together, and through it all, we've built a bond where I know you'll always have my back. I'm thankful to have you stand with me as a Groomsman.
Desmon Parker - Usher
My little cousin who grew up with us. We've always been a close knit family, and I'm thankful to have you join us on our special day
Jeremy Sanford - Groomsman
Cousins by blood but raised like brothers. I've learned patience and faith in God through seeing your testimony unfold. I’m grateful to have you as a Groomsman.
Micah Sanford - Groomsman
Cousins by blood but raised like brothers. I've learned a lot from you over the years, and I'm grateful to have you by my side as a Groomsman.
Damon Stevenson - Best Man
From blood brothers to roommates to fraternity brothers, Damon has always been my big brother, the one who often thinks he's my dad and even my pastor at times. It's only fitting that he stands by my side as my Best Man.
William P. Stevenson - Best Man
The brother right beside me--the one who used to get mad when I borrowed his clothes growing up. No matter what, he's always had my back. I'm honored to have him stand as my Best Man, too.
Joshua Williams - Groomsman
We're excited to have him standing with us on our big day! Although our friendship is fairly new, it didn't take long to see the support you have shown Jess and I. We're grateful for your friendship and willingness to be part of this special moment in our lives.
Tommy Winston - Groomsman
From Jackson Heart Study Scholars in high school to line brothers and college roommates, you've always helped keep me level-headed. I'm proud to have you stand with me as a Groomsman.
Sharmonia Adams - Bridesmaid
My Monia! We met back in undergrad at USM, and we’ve shared so many fun times together. I still remember those days when we would stress over classes—but look at us now, tackling another phase of our careers together! I’m so glad to have you as my sister. Thank you for being a part of this special day and for all the special moments still to come.
Kimberly Griggs - Matron of Honor
My sweet Kimmie. We met in 2016 during undergrad at USM, and we’ve been rocking ever since. Kimmie has been there for me through my worst and my best. I’ve had the privilege of watching her blossom into such an amazing woman. I’m so glad we met, and I look forward to many more years of sisterhood. Although she’s miles away, her love and sweet spirit are always close. I’m so grateful you get to experience this beautiful love story with me.
Micaela Hampton - Matron of Honor
Greater Bethlehem Temple Church is where it all began. What started with a simple “hi” and “when will you be back at church?” lol—turned into us becoming best friends. I’m thankful for all the great memories and for you becoming the sister I always wanted. From car rides and Starbucks runs to now watching me walk down the aisle, I’m so grateful you’re a part of this special day.
Javanna McLaurin - Bridesmaid
Vanna and I have known each other our entire lives—literally, we were born just a week apart. I like to think our parents planned it that way. Though we’re cousins, we’ve always been sisters at heart. Vanna has seen me through it all, and I’m so grateful for how much she’s helped me over these past few years. She’s always been a constant in my life, and I truly hope that never changes.
Regina McLaurin - Bridesmaid
Gina has been a part of my life since the very beginning and has watched me grow. I still remember the days we laughed in church about everyone and everything. We’ve always been told we look like sisters, even though we’re cousins—and honestly, I consider her my sister at heart. I’m so grateful you get to share this special moment with me, G.
Samantha Smith - Bridesmaid
Our friendship started once I moved to Jackson and begin attending Greater Bethlehem Temple. It seems as if we have been friends all of our lives. If it wasn't for Sam, I'd like to think Charles and I wouldn't have found each other this soon. Grateful you get to be apart of this journey and many more years to come.
Mishea Stevenson - Bridesmaid
While I never had a sister, I am so grateful to be gaining such a wonderful sister-in-love. She keeps me laughing and always keeps it real. There is never a dull moment when she’s around. I pray that our bond continues to grow stronger. Grateful to have you!
Jamille Williams - Bridesmaid
We met back when we were babies in junior college. Her sweet presence has remained the same ever since. Over the years, our friendship has grown even stronger. She’s always been there when I needed her and gives the best advice. After watching her find the love of her life, I’m so grateful that she gets to be here for me.
