Joselyn Merriweather

Stone Mountain, Ga. Jarrett is the identical twin and best friend of Jerold. Ever since they were younger, Jarrett and Jerold have always looked out for each other. As adults, their bond has continued to grow stronger. To Jerold, Jarrett has always been a "silent" motivator and being by his side on the day of Kenitra and Jerold's wedding is just the type of motivation Jerold will need to move into that next stage of his life. 

Jarrett Mason 

Lithonia, Ga. Camonie (Monie) is the oldest brother to Jerold. When he was younger, Monie helped raise Jerold and his other siblings and has directly influenced the man Jerold is today. Monie has always been the strong, silent, and intimidating type. Beside the "silent" aspect of Monie's character, Jerold has always wanted to grow up to be like his brother. Every family has a "rock" or "foundation" and Camonie is that for this generation of the Mason clan.  

Camonie Mason

Carla saved  Kenitras life during their sophomore year at Hampton, she moved into Kenitras dorm room, and they have been inseperable ever since :-) #alwayssisters

Carla Jones

Atlanta, Ga. Regis is the second oldest brother to Jerold. Growing up, Jerold would always go behind Regis,  trying to emulate who he was. Regis was an outstanding athlete and straight A student. Unfortunately, none of that athletic ability could be copied. As an adult, Jerold always noticed that Regis' was a hard worker and whether he knows it or not, Jerold has always tried to model his work ethic after his older brother. Jerold and Regis share a special bond - more special than any words can describe. 

Regis Mason

Smyrna, Ga. Brandon and  Jerold are first cousins. Although they stayed on opposite sides of Atlanta, these two spent a considerable amount of time together. Whether it was pretending to be WWF super stars in the professional size wrestling ring in the driveway or just hanging out at family gatherings, the fondness of their time spent together  has always held a special place in Jerold's heart. There is nothing like having the most important people to you with you on a day as important as your  wedding day. Brandon definitely qualifies as a person Jerold would want by his side on May 14, 2016.

Christian is the first born from Jerold's loins. They say having children will make you more responsible, but Christian did so much more for Jerold. He was instrumental in developing Jerold into a mature man and father. Life truly begins when you have children and Christian is the testament to the beginning of Jerold's life. In being his child, Christian is also taking a big step on May 14, 2016. So, it is only right and necessary for Christian to be at his father's side.
