My Girls!!
Shannon Robins- Maid Of Honor
Shannon is not just Samira's big sister, she's also her bestfriend! Over their years of growth, Samira has always admired Shannon's strength, wisdom, and ability to overcome any challenge & still be the best big sister/prayer partner she could ever ask for. 
Natasha Hilliard- Bridesmaid 
Testimony Time!!! Natasha is also Samira's big sister. After several years of just knowing about one another, God allowed them to find one another in 2015 to begin blossoming a sister-ship that could never be broken....again. 
Tiffany Cooley- Bridesmaid
Samira & Tiffany are first cousins, but its safe to say they are also just like sisters. From Taco nights to Tiffany busting out laughing when it gets too quiet, these two never have a dull moment together. 
Samia Buggs- Bridesmaid 
Mannnnn have these two come a long way or what? lol. Samira & Samia (don't get confused...yes she stole the Bride's name lol) use to be like Oil & Vinegar. But with growth & time, these two cousins have developed an unbreakable bond full of memories of 2Am White Castle runs, re-watching Brown Sugar & Love Jones and drinking that God-awful MD 20/20 lol. 
Sudha Smith- Bridesmaid 
*begins singing Brandy's song Best Friend* - Bestfriends since elementary school and haven't missed a beat in eachother's lives yet, Sudha & Samira are living testimonies of what a REAL friendship should entail. 
Courtney Cockrell- Bridesmaid
Courtney & Samira's friendship blossomed when they joined together to express their love for God through praise dancing at a young age. 
Friends, cousins, prayer partners, you name it! These two have been all of that and more for one another.
Dawn McClendon- Bridesmaid
From childrens church to the days of going to Saints NOT to skate lol these two have literally been inseparable. Through many of life's ups and downs, Dawn has always been a listening ear and a shoulder for Samira to lean on. 
Ashley Holland- Bridesmaid 
Although this friendship is just beginning, Samira has always been GRATEFUL for Ashley's  genuine friendship in Ryan's life. Samira knows that without a doubt, whenever she needs someone to call to get her out the house lol, Ashley will never disappoint. 
 
My Road Dawgz!!
Bruce Beal- Best Man
Bruce is not only the Best Man, but also a Brother to Ryan who has been nothing but LOYAL and HONEST to him since Day One. Bruce is A God-fearing man who encourages Ryan to be The Best Man he can be on a daily basis.
Lynn Fifer- Groomsman
Lynn is Ryan's first cousin who is a pure genius in just about anything. Whenever Ryan is in need, he knows that Lynn is always one phone call away for advice about love & life. PLUS his 2K game is BRAZY!!! (No...that's not a typo lol)
 
Cameron Cunningham- Groomsman
"Killa Cam" is Ryan's nephew who is constantly moving up in life and when determined he's unstoppable, just like Juggernaut from
X-Men. Ryan can count on Cam to always have his back and to always be the one to give him the TRUTH!
Jesha Sumbry- Groomsman
"Booka"  is also Ryan's nephew who is FLY at all times! Known for his goofiness, Ryan can always count on Booka when he needs a good laugh. With his ambition to win, Booka is a MUST in Ryan's corner!
Robert Humphry- Groomsman
"Robbie Swagg" is one of Ryan's childhood friends who has stood on Ryan's side with endless support and JOKES lol. Always working two jobs & striving to be one of The Temptations with his vocal ability, Rob's determination for success is a MAJOR KEY!
 
Devin Cooper- Groomsman
Devin Cooper is special, a different kind of special lol. Devin was the first person Ryan met when he moved to University City in 3rd grade. These two have had their share of ups and downs, but their bond stands as a testimony and can never be broken!
 
Chaz Brew- Groomsman
Chaz is one of the REALEST men Ryan knows! With his array of musical talents and hood antics lol Chaz has always blessed Ryan with his wisdom and laughs throughout their friendship.
Andre Oats- Groomsman
Ryan admires that "Brotha Dre" is all about his business! If it's not right, he'll make it right! Andre is a realist who Ryan can always count on for anything, especially when it comes to advice.
 
Our Lovely Ushers
Nickiya Eddins
Nickiya is the God-sister of Samira, but everyone knows her as "Peanut". Growing up as the youngest sister to Shannon, Samira was SO GLAD that she finally had the chance to be the big sister she always wanted to be. 
Isaiah Buggs
Isaiah is the little cousin of Samira, but don't be fooled. He may be little, but his bark is big and his TESTIMONY at such a young age is even bigger! Oh, and beware. He may just walk up to you & ask you for a piece of candy at the wedding lol he's known for that. 
Our Adorable Flower Girl
Chasidy Brew
This little cutie is the daughter of Groomsman, Chaz Brew, but also the niece of Ryan. Only a knee high to a grasshopper, but she will definitely give you a run for your money lol. Ryan looks forward to her birthdays. Thats the only day he can smash cake in her face and get away with it smh lol.
