About Us
High School Sweethearts
We met at the end of junior year of high school through our best friends Kayla Smith and Jordan Pearson who were dating at the time. They thought that we'd be a perfect match and connected us. Christian sent an Instagram DM shooting his shot and the rest is history. We've been inseparable since.
From senior year homecoming and prom, to being struggling college students, to figuring out this thing called adulting, to parenting a dog, and many career changes. Growing into the people that we are today was not an easy task but growing together made it worth it. Building a life together and experiencing everything for the first time together is not something that many have experienced. Witnessing each other reach our goals and being there every step of the way has been an unimaginable privilege.

Wedding Party
Isabella Guerrero
Maid of Honor
Isabella and Jazmyne met in high school and were on the dance team together. “Bella is a ride or die! She’s the person you can go to about absolutely anything and know that she’ll always have your back. I know that I can always count on her for girl talk, a shoulder to cry on, and to uplift me when I need it. She’s my best friend and I love her to death.”
Lexis Davis
Bridesmaid
Biig sister! “Lexis has always been the best sister that I could have ever asked for. She is my protector, my sanity, and the person who I look up to most. Her love is so unconditional. I never had to worry about anything growing up because she was always there to make me feel safe and always told me how loved and special I was. I would not be who I am today without her.”
Kennedy Williams
Bridesmaid
Kennedy and Jazmyne met in high school and bonded immediately. Kennedy is the person that never lets you lose sight of your dreams and always urges you to be and do whatever makes you happy. “Kennedy was there in the beginning of Christian and I’s relationship and was always so supportive. I’ve never met someone who is so similar to me it feels like I’m looking in the mirror. Whenever I’m doing she picks me up, when I’m lost she guides me, and when I’m high she lifts me higher. A friend that every girl deserve.”
Janet Mitchell
Bridesmaid
Janet and Jazmyne met freshman year of undergrad at Columbia College Chicago. She is the life of the party and never misses an opportunity to make you laugh. “ Janet is by far my craziest friend in the best way possible! She is just so full of life and love. Whenever I’m in her presence I instantly feel lighter and like I’m truly able to be myself judgement free. She is our dog Rocco’s favorite person, my Bestfriend, my dance partner, and the one that always shows up. Life would truly be dull without her and I’m forever grateful to have her friendship.”
LaKeisha Franklin
Bridesmaid
Keisha and Jazmyne met during undergrad while the two of them worked at Yolk. She is the friend that you can call with the craziest ideas and she’s always down. She never opts out on having a good time. “ Keisha is the definition of a girls girl! She is so spontaneous and has the most beautiful spirit. She always puts others before herself. She is the first one to compliment you and just makes everyone feel so good about themselves. She is also hilarious I have never laughed so hard in my life then when I’m with her.“
Su Moon
Bridesmaid
Su and Jazmyne met during undergrad when the two of them worked at Yolk. Su is beautiful both inside and out and an inspiration. “ Susu is literally the hardest working/most goal oriented person I have ever met. When she sets her mind on something she works her butt off to make sure that she accomplishes it. She is the first person that I go to when I need advice and is the first one to reassure me when I doubt myself. I love and value our friendship so much. She and Keisha also manifested Christian proposing and a month later it happened! She wants the best for everyone and I love her so much.”
Carrie and Ivory Bibbs
Bridesmaid
Carrie and Ivory are friends that you can always count on no matter what. Every single event, special occasions, or gathering they show up and out. “ The twins are so much fun to be around and together are double trouble. There is not a single thing that I can’t talk to them about. Carrie is very down for whatever and is a socialite. Ivory is very no nonsense but a sweetheart. They are truly like my little sisters and would do absolutely anything for the people that they love. I can’t imagine not having them in my life because they are such a big part of what makes me who I am. Every stage of my life they’ve been there. I love them so much.”
Mel’lonii Jackson & Promyse Herron
Flower Girl
Our beautiful nieces! The sweetest girls in the world with the biggest personalities.
Auntie Rere
Matron of Honor
Favorite auntie! The person who always led by example and was a role model to me growing up. She always made sure to teach me what it meant to be a lady and to always carry myself with poise and grace.
