Chidi and Michael

When I first met Mike, it was at FMC through VBS and Sunday pick up games. I quickly learned he loved basketball as much as I did. Fifteen years later our friendship developed into what it is today, family. I'm so proud to see my big bro taking this step, and I'm thankful that I get to be a part of it. I have been taking notes and will continue taking notes! Congratulations my brother.

I've been privileged to know Mike for a considerable amount of time. Throughout, I've known him to be a man who takes pride in everything he does. Whether taking shots on the court, assembling Sabbath attire, or turning a church game night into a high stakes affair, expect him to give his all. Anyone who has been around Mike, can attest to his infectious energy. Confucius once said, "a superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. I have faith the modest speech will come, but one out of two ain't bad. In all seriousness, Mike is a man of effort, action, and heart. I know he will put in the work to help produce a long and happy marriage. May God bless you both in your amazing union.

I honestly can't remember the first time I met Mike because we would always be at the same church functions. From potluck to AYs, all the way down to hooping at the activity center. Well... he was hooping. I didn't have much cmmerce in the handles department. When we got older, we continued to hang out, but it blossomed into hanging at each other's homes, having deep conversations about religion and life, even free-styling in the back of the car. And if you know anything about free-styling, you know you just don't do that with any old person. We have been able to help each other grow, provide strength in dark times as well as celebrate each other's success. I am so proud at the steps he has taken to get here and joy and love that emote from him because of Chidi. I wish you both the greatest abundance of joy and happiness this world has to offer. Lead each other in strength as you follow God.

As a Missouri City native, I grew up with Nevins as much more than a neighborhood friend. Growing up as children in church, the trust that was built quickly grew to a brotherhood. In our adolescence, he served as a constant measuring stick for our improvements on the basketball court. Throughout middle school and high school, we learned that our love for music went beyond simple notes on a page and were in fact gifts from God. Individual growth in adulthood has taught us that while on different paths, we can still support those in our circles, as God continues to pour out blessings. I am immensely proud of you Nevins, may God bless your union. Welcome to married life!
