Welcome to our wedding website...
Bridal Party: Bride's Party
Sister of the Bride/Matron of Honor She has been my best friend for 27 years. The best role model and big sister I could honestly ask for. One of my favorite things about Ty besides her drive and loyalty is her laugh; just hear it and you’ll know why. It’s the perfect thing to hear when you’re not in a good mood. I love her more than words can express. She has also given me two of my greatest joys, my nieces.
Cousin of the Bride/ Bridesmaid She is like my little sister I never had. We’ve been getting in trouble together since we were babies. We can talk for hours and hours about the memories we made together, like our midnight snacks and cannon balls in the pool. Growing up with you by my side was the best.
Bridesmaid She has been one of my oldest friends since PreK and we got in trouble a lot; she still has a detention from 1st grade to prove it. I’m sure our parents wanted us apart but that was never going to happen. We share many memories, from our loud sleepovers to fighting over AJ from BSB. Ironically, despite our beginning, you’re the sweetest person I know ☺.
Bridesmaid We’ve known each other since freshman year of high school but became very close our junior year, more specifically pottery class (Mr. Chan’s voice). We both attended UCF and lived together 3 of the 4 years, which was the best decision I could’ve made. This sparked our lifelong friendship and our own “language”.
Bridesmaid We met my sophomore year of college and our friendship has only grown since then and I am so glad to have her in my life. She is wise beyond her years and extremely motivating and motivated. Wow, have we changed since our college years ☺.
Bridesmaid She has been one of my oldest friends since 2nd grade. At one point she lived like a block away from me and we were even more inseparable. We definitely created trouble and even created our own spaghetti sauce. We spent so much time together that people thought we were related (not sure why ☺).
Bridesmaid She has been one of my oldest friends since 1st grade and is probably one of the funniest and smartest people I know. We have been two peas in a pod since forever. Besides doing everything else together, we played sports together as well and I was able to share a lot of timeless/special memories with her, especially in high school.
Bridesmaid We met our freshman year of college in the summer of 2005 and have been inseparable ever since. We’ve cried together, laughed together, and gone on many adventures together. My college years wouldn’t have been so sweet without her. We still manage to talk on the phone for hours and I love it.
Bridesmaid We met my sophomore year of college and have been friends ever since. She is the reason I met Ernest and the one who played matchmaker behind the scenes. She is my little business woman/socialite and I wouldn’t trade our friendship for anything.
Bridesmaid She has been one of my oldest friends since 1st grade and has always been such a loyal friend. Many of my childhood memories are with her, including my very first sleepover, my first trip to Disney, and some other firsts I won’t share ☺. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine growing up without her and all the girls she introduced me to.
Bridesmaid She has been one of my oldest friends since we were in 1st grade. We’ve pretty much done everything together from rapping to getting in trouble at the dinner table. I am so glad to have her and her beautiful little family in the same city as us. We love to brag that we’ve only fought once (8 yrs. old) and I love to brag that I won ☺.
Cousin of the Bride/Flower Girl My big cousin Tara not only gave our family endless laughter but also gave our family our first baby in a long time. She is so much like her mother, fun, full of life, beautiful, smart, and a little fashionista. I have run most fashion decisions by her for approval; she even helped pick out my wedding dress.
Bride/Flower Girl Niece and Goddaughter of the Bride. My beautiful niece has brought so much joy to me and my family’s life. She is so smart, full of personality, and too funny. Her and her baby sister take up most of the storage on my phone (pictures everywhere). Not only does she love her Auntie NeNe but she loves her Uncle Ernie, too.
Bridal Party: Groom's Men
Best Man He has been one of my best friends since middle school. Travis might as well be family as my own mother considers him as another son. He has been like a brother to me in offering advice, life lessons, and just being there for whatever I need.
Groomsman Tony is the older brother of Dominique and has watched over her since she was a baby. He has welcomed me into the family and has “gladly” handed over those duties to me. Tony and I have become good friends over the years as I am honored to take his younger sisters hand in marriage.
Groomsman Francky and I were college roommates at Florida State University. We met at a time that we both were being molded into the men we are today. We shared the “brokest” time in our lives together, but somehow we survived and graduated.
Groomsman I’ve known Sean for many years as he is also a part of my childhood group of friends that are like brothers to me. He is the most loyal person I know and if I ever needed anything he would be there in a drop of a hat!
Groomsmen I met Felix through one of Dominique’s best friends, Katie. His love for electronics and apple products are quite impressive. He is a great, hardworking, guy who has become a good and trusted friend to both Dominique and I.
Younger brother of the groom/Groomsman Even while fighting each other most of our early teenage years, he has always been dear to me and I wouldn’t allow anyone to mess with him unless it was me. He’s the one now doing the protecting as he serves in our country’s Navy. Although we don’t get to see each other as often as I would like, we will always have the bond of true brothers.
Groomsmen I met Kendy through Travis and have known him since middle school. He is one of my closest friends and also considered a brother to me. We share the same since of humor and love for basketball. I’d do anything for this guy and he would do the same.
Groomsman Joe and I have been friends since high school and also attended FSU together. He was one of the most grounded individuals I knew, and that also helped me through college. We shared some great times in college as we stuck together with those of us from Palm Beach as we were now in Tallahassee.
Groomsman Robert has been one of my best friends since high school, as well as the craziest! From prank phone calls to class clowning in our first period class, our friendship carried right on through college as we both terrorized Tallahassee together.
Groomsman Alex and I became friends about 7 years ago as we began playing for the same semi-pro basketball team. Some of our best memories consist of partying and enjoying ourselves after basketball games on the weekends. Alex has become one of my closet friends over the years.
Ring Bearer Thanks to our friends Katie and Felix, we now have this handsome baby boy in our lives. He is so much fun and it’s hard to imagine life before him, with all the screaming, dancing, and running around.
