From standing by her side twenty two yers ago as her flower girl to now being my matron of honor, she has been an incredible friend, role model, and above all, my sister. I've watched her as she's built a career and a family and I wouldn't trade my backseat ride in her journey for the world.

Stan has been the closest brother I could ask for, truly he has been such a gift in my life, being there for some high highs and low lows, therefore he is my best man. He's walked with me through great highs and great lows and been a shoulder to lean on and a brother to keep pushing me forward and to keep challenging my pursuit of the LORD. He's first a husband and father and then after that a local business owner and messenger of the Gospel to all who walk into the coffee shop

This wild and adventurous girl was the first one to show me what a true Christian friendship looked like. She came at very pivotal time in my life soon after I came to Jesus and truly surrendered my life to Him. She was the challenge I needed, she asked me "What is our friendship for?", in doing this she challenged me to have a true Godly friendship that actually grew my faith and taught me how to let other Christian women into my life so that I would grow in my walk and learn to surrender more and more to the LORD.

Malcom has been an absolute brother to me and I love the many deep theological conversations that we have, often I'll call him while I'm driving around for work and we'll chop it up on random verses in Romans. He's first a husband and then a pastor to his local church and also a sidewalk minister, he's definitely pushed me to grow in my faith and step more out of my comfort zone, he's also been a shoulder to lean on for both encouragement and wisdom

My sister from PA, my pop of color, my spunk and the one I can go to and pour my deepest and realist feelings to. Abigail and I met at a bible study and she has clung to me like the little sister I have always wanted, from sleepovers to going to get coffee and picnics in the park she has given me the opportunity to speak life into her life and she has kept me grounded and been my voice of reason when I get too Legalistic. I thank God that He sent Abigail into my life when He did!

Stephen is both a theological giant and also a literal one, he's definitely the tallest of the groomsmen. He is also first a husband and then both an apologetics teacher and youth pastor at his local church, he's also extremely talented on the drums, man lays down a nasty beat. Just like all my other groomsmen he has been a close brother in times of need and in times of rejoicing and has both encouraged my faith and been a great source of encouragement

Though I wasn't expecting it she came exploding into my life like the firecracker that she is. She's become such a close friend and trusted confidant during my time here in Thomasville and I wouldn't trade her friendship for the world. Having her here has given me a much needed shoulder to lean on and a source of encouragement when I need that extra pick me up

Dyl is my bandmate, my gym bro, and the guy I can count on for the most unhinged humor. It's constant laughs with this guy around but don't let that fool you, when he needs to be serious he can tone it back and get real, he's been a close brother and one to lift my spirits when I need it. He's got a heart of gold and is quick to pick up the phone when we need him and he's also a faithful servant to the LORD and his local church
