Hi everyone— I’m Adrienne! Shannon & I met in undergrad when joining our sorority, and throughout the experience we developed a special bond. Over the years we’ve forged a sisterhood built on love, vulnerability, and cheering each other on. So many hours on the phone & dinner dates, and lots of laughs, a few tears, and many prayers! If we’re being honest (lol), some of those prayers were about finding the one & I couldn’t be happier Shannon has found him. I love love, so I’ll be the bridesmaid crying happy tears all night!
From devastating diva to bride— I’m so excited my sis is getting married!!
Bre'a - Maid of Honor
Heyy Everyone!!! My name is Bre’a and I have the privilege of being Shannon’s maid of honor. I am currently an administrator at a charter high school. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. Growing up, I was raised in a male dominated household with my brothers and my father so I definitely developed a love of sports. When I'm not busy with work (which is quite rare), you can find me watching reality TV or a sports game, listening to music, or reading a book in my bed . I met Shannon during our college years at UCSD. We were a part of a larger friend group but quickly connected and became extremely close. Luckily, Shannon not only became my dance partner, shopping buddy and confidant, but she also became the sister I never had! Over the years, we remained close and continue to be each other's partner in crimes (we have some fun stories). Shannon is one of the most compassionate and understanding person I know and it brings me joy to see Shannon find her forever person. I'm excited and honored to witness the union of Shannon and Jordan. Ready to take over the dance floor and have a few celebratory shots for the Rollersons!
Jacquenee - Bridesmaid
Hi everyone! I am Dr. Jacquenee Vernon, Shannon’s oldest sister. I am a wife, mother of two beautiful daughters (with a prince on the way) and an educator, who loves the kids. I have had the pleasure of knowing Shannon her whole life and I have to say it is a pleasure seeing her grow from a shy little girl to a blossoming young woman. Although Shannon is my younger sister, she has been an inspiration to me to go after my dreams and never stop educating myself, but also take time to have fun because life is short. Shannon is outgoing, enthusiastic and fun to be around. I am excited for her union with Jordan and I can’t wait to see where life takes them
Jade - Bridesmaid
Hey guys!! My name is Jade. I’m a homegrown LA girl currently living in Washington, DC. A very chill, true foodie who loves to have a good time - oh and did I mention a very excited bridesmaid. I met Shannon over 9 years ago through a mutual friend on our way to an R&B event called Colors. We instantly clicked, not leaving each others side the entire night. Dancing, singing and having a true time - I knew we would be friends for life. Over the years our friendship grew over lunch dates, gatherings, heart to hearts, and our devotion to God. And even after moving miles away, we never missed a beat. Shannon is truly one of the most selfless people I met - always there to support and love on others. I am so honored and cannot wait to stand by her side to celebrate my beautiful friend on her special special day.
Ja'Nae - Bridesmaid
Heyyyyy everyone ! My name is Ja’Nae. I am 31 years old and I currently work in law enforcement as a Lieutenant. I grew up in South Central Los Angeles with my twin sister (yes there are two of me lol). I enjoy hiking, working out at the gym and reading but most of all TRAVELING! Some of my favorite places I have traveled are Thailand, Paris and Costa Rica. I also love to do hair on the side (braider) and helping to make women feel their best. I also love planning events, just ask everyone who has attended my “Friendsmas Onesie Game Night” every year. :) I met Shannon right before 9th grade started at our orientation at Westchester High School. Our extroverted mothers were both lost and met first and introduced us shortly after. We were destined to be in eachother lives through the grace of God. We even joined a junior sorority together and became line sisters. From besties to sisters, I always say. I have been there from the beginning and I am so proud to see my friend evolve into this amazing, God fearing, accomplished young woman. I’m even more happy she found her forever love in Jordan. I remember her talking about Jordan to me and Genita (trio gang) for yearssssss lol so it was definitely meant to be. I’m happy to be apart of their special day and can’t wait to party with everyone!
Jasmine - Bridesmaid
Hi everyone! I'm Jasmine, Shannon's sister. I am a full time mommy, wife and lover of God. I am a teacher by day and an officer for the city of Torrance by night. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family whenever I can. I am so happy to celebrate Shannon as she embarks on this journey alongside Jordan. I pray that God truly blesses their union!
Laisha - Bridesmaid
Hi everyone! My name is Laisha and I'm so happy to be here celebrating with all of you as one of Shannon's bridesmaids. We may have become family through marriage, but let me tell you, she's been a friend/ sister in Christ to me from day one. She's not only kind, loving, and God-fearing but was also the one who introduced me to the joy of sipping Sidecars - a testament to her impeccable taste! You can find me enjoying precious moments with my husband and daughter, traveling or perhaps indulging in some yummy tacos! Here's to Shannon, her warm spirit, her love for life, and the beautiful journey ahead with Jordan. Let's make this celebration as special as she is! Cheers to love, laughter, and a lifetime of happiness for the newlyweds!
Tiara - Bridesmaid
Hey y’all! My name is Tiara. Shannon and I met in August 2012, within the first month of her study abroad semester at Spelman College. I am currently a paralegal in the process of applying to law school with the HIGH hopes of working in prison reform and mass incarceration. I have been dancing almost every genre you can think of since the age of 3 and have recently been dubbed a master double dutch instructor to adults and children alike, no age is too young or old to learn. When it comes to Shannon, I like to think it was soulmates at first sight as our dynamic duo instantly clicked on hobbies like dancing and our passion for shoes one night in the common area of our dorm. We were quite literally inseparable throughout her entire experience. However, it wasn't until we both spoke of our relationships with God that I knew I found a true sister. Since then, we’ve maintained a long-distance friendship through 2-3 hour phone calls, Spelman homecoming visits, and traveling for life milestones. Needless to say, there is NEVER a dull moment when we both make the trek from either Atlanta or LA. I am elated and extremely proud to be a part of Shannon and Jordan's special day.
If you see me at the wedding, conversation starters could include: Brunch and Mimosas, the Tamia Line Dance, and last but certainly not least: "So you're the girl who was at the proposal on crutches...?"

Kadeen - Groomsmen
Hey Ya’ll! My name is Kadeen. I am a husband, new father and Chemistry Analyst for Daisy Brand. Jordan and I met during our time at the University of Texas at Austin. We became friends through our love of sports, striving for academic success and our journey growing as Christians. Jordan has always been a joy to be around, one minute we are cracking jokes and the next we are lifting each other up in prayer. Now that we’ll both be married to therapists I’m sure that our support will only grow lol! We wish Jordan and Shannon the very best and hope that they experience all the joys that marriage has to offer.
Marlowe - Groomsmen
My name is Marlowe and in my free time I hoop, make music, watch movies and have a good time. I know Jordan from being one of his roommates in college. My favorite memory is us constantly dunking on each other every day and trying to outdo each other on the dart board we had when we lived together. He has always been competitive but also a great person to be around. I wish Jordan and Shannon nothing but the best of times and everlasting love!
Ronnie - Groomsmen
I’m Ronnie, I work in healthcare and also passionate about psychology and youth education like Jordan. I met Jordan freshman year at the Black Student Lock-In orientation, and then I kept running into him in the cafeteria. This guy would always be laughing and eating all the time so I knew we were going to be homies from that point on. I pray that the Lord blesses your union and for that California Love to stay strong.
Shadrick - Groomsmen
Hi. My name is Shadrick. I pastor Family Life Austin, a church in Austin Texas. I have a great love for sports as former college football player and trainer, trash talking about sports especially over good food, and honestly just straight up clowning. I met Jordan first as the absolute legend he was years ago on the UT, we later became roommates, then honestly we became brothers to say the least through the thick and thin. I wish that he and Shannon in marriage get to live out the true desires of there heart ( inside joke) that brings God glory and them much good in life as the world continues to looks to them for encouragement and inspiration because they’re just special to all of us.
