Ivey Neal
Matron of Honor
Ivey has known me since I was an annoying kid drinking from a juice box. She’s watched me grow up. She’s always honest with me even when I don’t want to hear it, and she’s been such a role model to me. Trust is very big in our relationship. I know she’s got my back because she always there when I need her. There wasn’t a question when I chose her to be in the wedding. No doubt. She’s the very best!
Ashley Richardson
Maid of Honor
Oh gosh.. I could go on and on. Lol..Ashley is my best friend. Sister from another mister. Shirley Mae. (My nickname for her lol) We have always known of each other for years , but I reached out to her back in 2018. We hung out once and have been inseparable ever since. She’s been there for me when I was at my lowest point in life... and now she’s still here during one of the most important times in my life. I can’t imagine my wedding day without her by my side.
Johanna Miller
Bridesmaid
Heyyy friend! Johanna came into my life a little over a year ago, and I’m so grateful that she did. You know the saying “People come into your life for a reason”.. she’s one of those people for me. She proved her loyalty to me and showed me how it feels to have real ones in your corner. I don’t think there’s a day that past that we don’t talk to each other lol, even if it’s gossiping or sending jokes back and forth. She’s so dependable and I knew I was making the right decision by choosing her to be a part of my wedding day. I know that she’s going to be in my life forever.
Jai Lamarre
Bridesmaid
I honestly can’t even remember how or when I met Jai. I would have to say through twitter lol. Back in 2013/2014. We were friends for a while before actually meeting in person. It’s been years, and we have seen each other through a lot of tough moments. We have cried together and shared so many secrets. I always tell her that I’m their adopted sister lol. From nights in Miami on a boat, to early morning getting brunch in the A, we always have fun. Nothing but good memories. I even told her about Jacob when I first met him. And she’s supported us from the very beginning. She’s my go to, and I can’t wait to share the big day with her!
Ann Lamarre
Bridesmaid
Ann is and always will be my litter sister. To most people she is this quiet and reserved lady. Lol I even thought the same. But let me tell you... There is more to her than that. Ann is my turn up partner! She’s my dancing partner into late in the night. Yesss we have had some fun. She’s the sweetest person you’ll ever meet, but she don’t play about the ones she love. I know she will be there if I need her. So happy to share that big day with her.
Maimouna Diallo
Bridesmaid
Mai and I met through mutual friends. I’ve known her for a few years. When I first met her, I was like “Yeah I think we are going to be good friends” lol. I love her positive vibes and fun energy. We clicked. And the crazy thing is that she was already best friends with Jacob, and I had no idea. She’s a big part of why we are together and when I think of that, my little heart can’t take it. She’s one of our biggest supporters and I know as long as we got her, we are good.
Brandon Harris (AKA Nerdy)
Best Man
Nerdy and I met at mutual friend house, watching the NBA finals. It was back in 2009 so I was around 12 years old. We’ve basically been friends ever since. We have both seen each other through many ups and downs and we stayed close. He’s always been a good friend, brother and always lead by example. He’s been there for both Drea and I too, through our whole relationship.
Nick McQueen
Groomsmen
Nick is someone I met a few years back and we clicked ever since. He’s like a little brother to me and very good friend. We always have a good time. And even though we live very far from each other, it don’t feel that way because we talk to each other almost every day.
Jamal Durr
Groomsmen
Jamal is someone I met when I first moved to Atlanta. He helped me make my way when I first moved here, and even now he still help me. I know he got my back. He’s been a good friend to me and very supportive of Drea and I.
Courtland Durr
Groomsmen
Courtland is also someone I met when I first moved to Atlanta. He’s really cool and full of positive vibes. We can always count on him to be “late” to our functions, but he’ll definitely be there. He has been there on many of our dates and just one of my good friends.
Johnny Johnson
Groomsmen
Johnny is a good friend of mine. There’s never a dull moment when we’re around each other. He’s cool people. He’s basically the reason behind me and Drea meeting. Been there through the whole ride.
Derek Samuel

Derek and I have known each other for years and been friends for years. We’ve had tons of laughs and great times. So many memories. We stayed friends through ups and downs. Always been there for each other and always will.
