Our Wedding

We met in May 2023 on a dating app, so we can officially say they do work! After getting to know each other for the next few weeks, we decided to meet in person, and the rest is history. Just kidding, we will tell you the rest of the story... Ronnie being a member of Kingdom City Church, invited me to church on Fathers Day of 2023. This launched our journey into the Kingdom of God and we are both now faithful members. On June 11th 2023 we made it official and became boyfriend/girlfriend. Now let us walk through our first special moments as a couple and a new family, we hope you enjoy!

How We Met

Our first big “on the town” date was celebrating Ronnie’s 40th birthday in July. This was an amazing weekend that included great BBQ, a jazz bar, breakfast in bed, and lots of laughter.

We attended our first Chiefs Game against the Chicago Bears and the Chiefs WON!

Our Story

Photos

Kortney is the bride’s sister and biggest cheerleader. She lives in Bella Vista, Arkansas with her husband, Richard, and their two wonderful kids. Family means everything to her, and she’s thrilled to be standing by her sister’s side on such a special day.

Kortney Johnson

Carmen is the bride’s sister and the life of the party. She’s a proud mom to one sweet kiddo and shares life’s adventures with her partner, Evan. Known for her quick wit and passionate spirit, Carmen brings joy to every room and will definitely keep the wedding day full of smiles and dancing. 

Carmen Graves

Sarah has been the bride’s best friend since high school and has a heart as big as her smile. A devoted mom of five and loving wife to Josh, she’s the kind of friend who shows up for every milestone and every moment in between. Her caring nature and endless support have made her a true sister at heart.

Sarah Curtis

Alishia and the bride have been best friends since high school, bonded not just by years of friendship but also by their shared November birthdays, which they spend together each year. She’s a proud mom of one and married to Shawn, always just a phone call away for advice, laughter, or a spontaneous girls’ outing.

Alishia Varner

Even though she’s technically the bride’s step-sister, their bond runs as deep as any sisterhood. Growing up together has given them countless memories, filled with music, laughter, and late-night conversations. A proud mom of five and married to Alfredo, she brings warmth, fun, and family spirit to every moment.

Ashli Hernandez

I have known Richard for almost three years now, and we hit it off immediately. We always bring good laughter to each other's lives. 

Richard Johnson

My brother is a great father, friend, and son. He always tries to do right by people and is a very loyal and trustworthy person. I am so proud of the man he is today.

Chris Brown

Evan is an amazing person and a great father to his twin daughters. He loves the Vols and sports. We immediately hit it off from the first time we met.

Evan Crowe

Josh has always been more than just a friend he’s family. Every time we link up, it’s guaranteed laughs, solid conversations, and memories that stick. He’s a great father to his five kids, and I respect the way he handles his responsibilities. I just wish we had more time to hang out, because it’s always a good time when we do. I wouldn’t want to do life with anyone else by my side.

Josh Curtis

Shawn, you’re always such a joy to be around we never fail to have a great time together! From watching sports to just hanging out, every moment with you is full of laughter and good energy. I only wish we had more time to make even more memories. Thank you for being such an important part of my big day it means the world to me!

Shawn Varner

Lola is the groom’s daughter and a cherished part of our family. Now in 7th grade, she’s growing into a beautiful, God-loving young lady with a kind heart and bright spirit. We’re so excited to have her play such a special role in our wedding day.

Lola Brown

Tino is the bride’s son and our official “ring security.” Now in 7th grade, he’s growing into a thoughtful, sweet young man right before our eyes. He is such a special part of our lives, and we’re beyond excited to have him play an important role in our wedding day.

Tino Banks

Athena is the bride’s sweet and spirited niece. At just 5 years old, she brings endless charm, giggles, and joy to the day. She’s the sweetest little addition to our wedding party, and we can’t wait to watch her walk down the aisle.

Athena Smith

Sean holds the special honor of walking the bride down the aisle in place of their late father, a role that means the world to both of them. A proud dad of four beautiful (and wonderfully spirited) kids and partner to April, Sean has always been a source of love and laughter. With their dad watching from above, having Sean by the bride’s side means the world to her.
