Jasmine Smith
Sister and Maid of Honor

Big Sister

Being that she is my big sister I have known Jasmine my entire life. I cannot think of one important memory in my life that she has not been apart of.  Jasmine is the advice giver, the trash talker, the leader, everything all in one. She truly knows me better than anyone else. A very driven and loving person. I know that she will always have my back and be by my side through the good and the bad. 

Ashley McNeil
Bridesmaid

Southern Belle


I have had the pleasure of knowing Ashley for over 7 years. We struggled though the long hours of Duke nursing together. Ashley is a very loving and nurturing person. She has brought many days of joy and laughter into my life.

Danielle Gray
Bridesmaid

Miss Tiny and Mighty


I have known Danielle for 7 years. We met as nurses at Duke hospital. I remember complaining about completing a task for a patient, and Danielle voluntarily stepping in, taking care of it and moving on. That describes her completely. Danielle is hard working, strong and kind. You won’t here her complain and she does it with a smile. I can always look to her for words of wisdom and encouragement.

Erica Shelly
Bridesmaid

Roomie and Confidante


Erica was my randomly assigned roommate freshmen year of college and we quickly became very close friends. She and I fought our way through FAMU’s nursing program together. We spent many nights up studying and bonding. Erica has always been very supportive and has helped me through many challenges in my life. She is assertive, loving, and a great spiritual influence in my life. Don’t be surprised if she is the party starter and turn-up queen at the reception.

Erikka Williams
Cousin and Bridesmaid

Big Cousin

Erikka was always my cool cousin growing up. Beautiful and and talented we spent a lot of our youth together in the country of Merritt Island and Miami. Erikka is full of life, energy, and will definitely out dance the best of us. She is smart and charismatic, my birthday buddy, we bond over our air head moments. Erikka is definitely a big part of my life and I can't wait to celebrate together.

Masha Bryan
Bridesmaid

Bestie


Masha and I have been friends for over 12 years, we met through our community service organization SISTUHS in college. She has been a rock in my life though the ups and downs. We have cried together and celebrated together. Masha is my loving, spirited sister who has my back no matter what. I couldn’t imagine celebrating my special day without her by my side.

Nikki Newsome
Bridesmaid

Twin

Nikki is just an all around joy. The most bubbly and pleasant person. Nikki and I met at Duke as nurses and quickly became close friends. We bonded over frozen yogurt, mini shopping sprees, and mani-pedi dates. We have such similar views on life and love. My unofficial twin and a true blessing in my life.

Joadi-Kay Benjamin
Wedding Planner
My wedding planner but also my dear friend. I have known Joadi-Kay since I was 14 years old. She was my color guard captain who use to yell at me to get it together. We quickly built a beautiful friendship and have remained friends throughout the years. Although distance has kept us apart she has always been supportive and only one call away. I know that I can always depend on Joadi-Kay for anything, she is organized, sweet, and the life of the party. I knew once I got engaged there was no one else that I would ask to handle every detail of my wedding.

Raymond Allicock
Cousin and Bestman
I can write an entire book but that still won't be enough to tell you how much Ray has been a help in my life. Ray is a very laid back and humble person, he would give you the shirt off his back. Growing up he took me everywhere he went, introduced me to people, put money in my pocket when I didn't have it, and allowed me to shine when he was the center of attention. I can just go on and on but he's truly one of my best friends.
Jermaine Walters
Groomsmen
My Raleigh partner, this dude is down to earth and can party. First day on the job Maine was the first to introduce himself to me and after that we clicked. Very laid back and would give you his last if you needed it. We can debate about sports all day and he loves his family
Christian Malcolm
Brother/Groomsmen
Quid is "that dude", best dressed, best smile, best feet, and an all around great father, and brother. He can really urk my nerves sometimes but if I ever get into any trouble he is the first person that I call. Quid is the king of comebacks and there is never a dull moment when he is around. 
Deme Horton
Brother/Groomsmen
Not much to say about my little brother. If you are ever feeling down just call Deme and trust me by the end of the call all your problems will be gone. He is a great storyteller and he can definitely tell a story. He is the life of the party and is loyal to family and friends.
Drew Henneghan
Groomsmen
When I moved to North Carolina Drew took me under his wing, he showed me around Raleigh and introduced me to his family and friends. He speaks his mind and holds nothing back. Every time we link up whether at work or just going out we have a blast. Everywhere we went I swear somebody knew this dude.
Floide Shelly
Groomsmen
I look up to Floide because he is a person that I feel all young men should want to be. He’s caring and loving, a great husband and a wonderful Father. If I have a problem I can call Floide and he will give me 100% of his attention, and we will talk until we have the problem resolved.
Jazz Favors
Groomsmen
My guy Jazz from Atlanta is real cool, if i needed help with anything I can call Jazz. He told me about all the spots to take Joya out. He is a real humble dude and I love how very family oriented he is. He keeps it real, and he puts you up on grown man stuff.
