Inside: OUR LOVE STORY THE BIG DAY MEET THE WEDDING PARTY

OUR LOVE STORY We met at school after a class that we both had in the same hall. He came up to me and talked to me through a mutual friend. It was to the point where we hung out with each other and started sharing secrets and became really good friends. School started to come to an end and Alex graduated and told me that he was leaving for the Marine Corps, I was crushed. Then one night as I was doing homework I received a phone call from a strange number. We spoke on the phone for hours but it’s one thing I will always remember him saying to me is “If I come home early from bootcamp, I will find you.” I just laughed “Boy ok we will see.”

I remember it like it was yesterday, I was walking into the house after going to the car I received a text message say “Hey Meme, it’s Alex.” Of course me I was like “I don’t know no Alex .” I stopped thinking about him during the summer because I didn’t expect him to come back for me of all people. We went on our first date a couple of days after that and never stopped. We have been madly in LOVE with each other ever since.

IMMATURE LOVE SAYS: “I LOVE YOU BECAUSE I NEED YOU.” MATURE LOVE SAYS: “I NEED YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.”

BRIDESMAIDS DANYELL HAMM MAID OF HONOR This girl here, I have known her my whole life LOL. My older sister, I couldn’t ask for a better one than you. You are always there to help me better understand why certain things happen in life. Even after Daddy passing and we weren’t around each other as much, we were always on the phone until we were told to get off, LOL. I always know that we are going to have a good time when we together because we make our own fun, being goofy together and coming up with some ugly dance that no one should see. I love you and I don’t know what I would do if you weren’t by my side today.

JAMIA GARCIA My LITTLE sister, and that she is my little sissy. She so quick to catch an attitude for things that don’t need an reaction to. But, my have you grown into the even more BIG little sister that we have. She keeps laughing with some of the things she may do just out the blue because she just don’t care how anyone else feels about it. She would be right there with Danyell and I laughing at us and encouraging the whole situation or join right in. She use to be so shy when she was younger and now it’s like I don’t know what happened but I’m so glad it did.

The only thing now sometimes I can’t get her to hush.

MELISSA GARNER Her and her wings LOL, that’s all I have to say. She is a sister, there is no in law attached on the end of that. After being around each other we slowly started to find out that we have a lot more in common than what we thought. Except for her having the thing for notebooks. We made I bet that she couldn’t buy a new notebook until she finished writing in one of the ones that she’s already had, she lasted 3 DAYS LOL. She has always made me smile when I needed it the most.

We can always bounce ideas off of each other for it to become one big plan. The MeMi’s thats what we do best lol.

ALEXIS HARTLEY This sister here of mine, she is a open book. Till this day I remember when we first met. Alex said to me look now “If my little sister like you then we good, because she WILL let you know.” I am so happy she liked me then. That also when I found out she has no filter, lol she will say the most strangest thing at the weirdest time but I love it. I can always trust her to tell me her honest opinion about something even if you like it or not.

LAKEYSHEA HAIRSTON We have been real good friends for a long time now. You were always there during track season to help me along way and our bond just grew from there. I remember to this day you walking in the court yard and you were running from me because you didn’t want me to touch your belly. All I would hear is “Nope don’t touch him lol, you cant.” LOL The struggle was real while you were trying to run away but you didn’t get to far.

GROOMSMEN

DARIUS WILSON BEST MAN THE BEST MAN D-WILL has already been playing the role of best man since the first year I met him. D-Will is the only reason I made it out of middle school.

My mom worked 2 full-time jobs at the time so me having a friend like D-will was a blessing to me and her. He made sure I made it out the house and to school. Every thing we’ve been through good or bad our friendship has only grew stronger. I felt like I lost my brother when he moved away the summer before 9th grade, but really God was just spreading his realness around the world. If y’all don’t know already I am a fan of FLASH my true BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER. You been the best man since the day you said we were friends. Loyalty, a lot of dudes don’t know what that means but we all did, much love and LONG LIVE FRED K. TAWNJAE LUSK Where we from South West Alief Texas, “The Swat” is what it’s called it. The streets either raised you or rip you up and spit you out. I seen myself becoming a mentor to Tawnjae at a young age. I seen the loyalty in him at a young age, so I knew he was going to be my homie but I didn’t think we would form a brotherhood. One thing we did that I have to share, is our glow in the dark BB gun WAR. We took all the doors of the hinges so no one could hide and we started our war with a group of people. The war went from in my moms two story house to down the street and around the corner. We had fun that whole night.

JAMEL GARCIA My little brother in law! I don’t see Mel as an in law, this is my little brother. When I first meet Mel he wouldn’t talk and was very shy natured. After all the time we have spent together, I am glad he was able to open up to me. Jamel has been my road dog since the Altlanta trip, he was the first one ready for the trip to see the dogs. He doesn’t know this but because he looked up to me it helped make me into a better man. I love the kid and thanks for always being down to ride.

K’DARIUS LEWIS MY DAWG!! KD and I have been homies since the 9th grade. He’s that friend that don’t say much, so you think he mean as hell but he not at all like that. KD is one of those true friends that will ride with you no matter the reason. He is also that friend that’s real hood and real intelligent, College Graduate. I remember when they said we wouldn’t make it to 17 but look at us now, 13 years later and he hasn’t changed up on me not one time. This is family because all I have to do is make one call and he there simple as that.

CAREY JONES What can I say about CJ, in high school I would say he didn’t care for me to much. I was arrogant and cocky but I could always tell we had a mutual respect for each other. Years later after I started a family which helped with my attitude, I sold him Prince a pocket bully and through dealing with the dogs our friendship grew. Over the years CJ has proven time and time again to be a great friend and I thank him for that.
