My white chocolate is what I call you! Amazing is what you are! Not only are you my cousin, you are my bestie for sure. You are always there and never miss a beat when it comes to me or anything that is important to your godson. You are truly an angel from being there for Women Enuff, Inc to being just an all around wonderful woman to our entire family, no words can express how much I appreciate you. You are definitely one of a kind and now I am glad to call you my bridesmaid :-)
My sister!!! Anyone who knows me knows this right here is my HEART! My sister has been there my entire life, saving me from myself at times and saving me from others at other times. She has always been my "go to" when I was in need of ANYTHING! She always made a way out of no way to ensure I was good and her niece and nephews were as well. My sister's role in a wedding could truly never take precedence over her role in my life and my heart. We have been THROUGH IT ALL and she has never written me off! She has a true heart of God and I am so thankful to have her as a part of my wedding party. I couldn't have it any other way!
Tyni - Where do I begin with you?! You have been the calm to my storm since I met you many, many, many years ago! You are definitely one in a million when it comes to the love you give unconditionally. We could not talk for months and months and just out of nowhere, I get a call of you telling me how proud of me you are and we pick back up like we never missed a beat! I remember attending your wedding MANY YEARS AGO (lol) and although you were to be enjoying yourself, you were more concerned with those around you to ensure we were all good. Your heart and spirit truly go unmatched. Thank you for always being YOU and never switching up, even when it was so was to do so! This day would not be the same without you!!!
Taneisha has been there for us since the day we met. Such a caring and selfless soul! I remember meeting Taneisha and not even a month later, she was visiting me in the hospital when all my other friends/family had other obligations (which was totally understandable). But the fact that a person I just met came, brought me food and ensured I was ok before she went home to her family spoke volume! It showed me that it is not about who you've known longest, but who's come into your life and never left. Taneisha has been that and has been a great motivator of our future nuptials and our relationship as a whole! She and I have become great friends, more like sisters and I could not see this day without her being a part of what she assisted greatly in bringing together!
My very own Keyshia Cole!!! To meet her is to LOVE her! Since the day we met, she has jumped right in where needed and been the little sister I always prayed for. As many of you know, I do not do "friends"... There are only FAMILY in my circle and she has fit very snuggly into that position. She is kind hearted, free spirited, LOUD (like me) and just a person after my own heart. This day just wouldn't be the same without her. I love her to LIFE and look forward to spending time with her leading up to the special dat!
My sweet baby girl! Chante has always been our OTHER child (yes, we have many lol)... But there is something ultra special about this one, just as there is with the others. Chante has a heart that goes unmatched! She feels what others feel, she holds tight to those that she loves and she is one of the most respectful young women I know... Not only to others, but of herself as well. I have had the pleasure of watching this beauty grow into the amazing young woman she has CHOSEN to be and this day just would not be the same without her. Thank you Chanteezy (lol) for being YOU! God definitely showed out when he created you <3
In the words of Eisha, 1/3 of the Campbell 3 Stooges! Growing up, they couldn't tell us we weren't brothers because our moms kept us together all the time! If you saw one....you saw the other. He was the reason I wanted to play sports. He was the reason I wanted to do alot of things, simply because he was doing them. He was my first big brother, eventhough we're only 5 weeks apart. Lol Although as we grew older, we grew apart due to living on different sides of town, we still somehow managed to always make sure each other were straight and we made sure to stay as close as we could while being so far apart. As adults, that still hasn't changed. I can call at any time, any day and he's there. No matter how big or small. I've always admired this dudes drive to push through, despite his situation. On many occasions, his drive gave me drive! For that, I'm forever greatful! #CampbellClan
Big little brother!!! The other 1/3 of the Campbell 3 Stooges! This guy has been my little headache for most of our lives and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Has has been the typical little brother without being my blood little brother, lol. From begging our moms to spend the night at each others house, sneaking to go skating, sneaking my moms car to go clubbing, to now building families and futures. Through it all, it has been a journey I would not change. It has been an honor to fill the big brother role in his life. Being that person he can call when he needed advice, needed to get away or just needed an ear when he needed to vent about everyday life! I've witnessed a change in his that I'm proud to see! Keep pushing big little brother! #CampbellClan
Brother of the Bride - Since the day we met, he's been one of the coolest, most laid back guys I've ever met! His nonchalant attitude towards life is something to admire. He has a knack for always seeing things in a positive light. His love for family and his willingness to be there for his sister and nieces and nephews is something you rarely witness these days. He always tells me thank you for loving his sister the way I do, but in return I always tell him, thank you for loving your sister the way YOU do!
Man man man! This guy was one of the reason I had the confidence to pursue my dreams! Watching this guy pursue his dreams, being on the road with him and watching how he chased his dream without a second guess was more inspiring that he could ever know! Those late nights having conversations about the future we saw for ourselves were conversations I'll cherish for the rest of my life. Many nights when I needed to get away, you were a light at the end of a dark tunnel brother. For that, I'll be forever greatful! We've been through battles together, we've been broke together, we've balled out together, we've partied together and through it all......we've never changed up on each other! We may not speak as often as we should, but when we do....it's like we just spoke the night before! 20yrs down and 100 more to go! #5UpTop
My Boi! This dude here is a different breed of friend! This guy has been another voice of reason when I needed him most. He's been a brother, a therepist and a few other things. lol This guy definitely deserves credit for helping me prepare to be a husband to my soon-to-be wife. This guy has been an ear when I needed one the most! A brother that has no problem telling me, "Bruh, you messed up, now go fix it!" or "Bruh, don't do that stupid s**t!", lol. Although we've only known each other for a little over a year, he is one guy I can say, he will be a brother for life! We are our brothers keepers!
Oldest Son of the Bride - This young king is something special. From the day we met, he took to me like more of a mentor and it has grown into a father son relationship that I don't think either of us anticipated. Like his uncle, he has a big heart for family, he just has his own way of showing it. The kid is smart, he's talented and has a ball of determination in him that I know he gets from his mom. He has a special way of making you care for him even when he's working your last nerve. Lol I'm honored to be a father figure in this young king's life. I see something in him that he has yet to see in himself. But the day he does, the sky will be the limit for him.
Middle Son of the Bride - The family's gentle giant. This kid has star written all over him. He's definitely the quietest out of the bunch, but stands out the most(mostly because he's the tallest in the entire family). Lol This kid exudes intellegence and respect! A star in the classroom and a star on the court, he's destined for greatness, one way or another! But make no mistake about it, he will go to war about his family. And although I have yet to see it, I'm told once he gets angry, it's a scary sight. Like Bruce Banner to The Hulk type of sight. Lol So let's just say.....Stay on his good side and you're all good in his book!
Youngest Son of the Bride - The energy of the family! I don't even know where to start with this kid. From the day we were introduced, this kid has been a nonstop comedy show. No matter how mad you try to get at him for not doing something or doing something he shouldn't have, it only lasts 37 seconds because here he comes with an off the wall joke that will have you laughing out of control. This kid is a born entertainer and he does this effortlessly day in and day out. He has the uncanning ability to bring energy to a dead room without even trying. He's the spoiled baby brother, that all the older siblings try to hate, but they can't becauase his energy screams "You have to like me because I'm funny!" lol
The baby baby! This little ball of energy is unlike anything I've ever see before! He has a knack for making you smile when you try your hardest not to. He has the ability to brighten up a room just with his tiny voice. He's that one kid that anybody is willing to watch because he's so cool and funny and full of energy. I swear he has a special talent for making anyone who comes in contact with him, love him! He has already grasped the concept of protecting his family, especially his sister, because he will fight you about them without hesitation! Even his bonus sister! He is a born protector and a born entertainer! He's got the perfect nick name.....Bam Bam!
