Kevin & Taleytha
Our Wedding
About Us
Our love story starts Sept 9, 2019, when we reconnected at a mutual friend's wedding. At the end of the wedding our friend Brittany asked Kevin to take Taleytha home since we lived in the same direction. Little did we know that car ride would truly be the beginning of it all. We spoke about our upbringings, career aspirations, and love. When it was time to drop Taleytha off, we didn't want the conversation to end. We talked, and laughed from 5 pm- 2 am nonstop, and when Kevin left we knew that we wanted to spend life together. After Kevin returned from his deployment he began planning his proposal. He knew he wanted to incorporate our love for fine dining, travel, and a beautiful beach. On 12/17/2021 during a birthday trip to Cancun, MX Kevin proposed with candles, a lit up Marry Me sign, and special fireworks. From the time we reconnected at that wedding, through a tough deployment, to having our beautiful son, and all the things life brings our love has continued to grow. We invite you to celebrate our love in the place we got engaged. We look forward to dancing, laughing, and communing with our favorite people.

Malik Sapp
Groomsman
Malik "The Freak" you've had my back since NSO freshman year at Morehouse and we have been close ever since! Remember that rime we battled through "SnowMageden" in Georgia as I was trying to get my towed car back. Such a wild time! You drove me through that storm with no complaints and made sure I got my whip back. Through our 13 years of friendship your loyalty, support, and guidance for me never wavered. Malik, you are the most kindhearted, gentle, and creative person I know. You are always available to help others and provide the room with positive vibes and a good laugh. Love you brotha, and I can't wait for us to turn up like old times! SQUAD for life!

Luther "Caesar" Speight. We have come a long way from blasting Gucci and Waka Flocka on the way to school and running down the hallways polo from head to toe. I love ya, and it is only right that you celebrate this day with me as one of my groomsmen. You've always been the livest, loving, and supportive person in my life. You'e always there to remind me who I am and just take that leap of faith to show the world my gifts. You have grown into an amazing husband, father, and someone I look up to as well. Thank you for always being a loyal friend and I cant wait for us to turn up in Mexico! #longlivecaesar
Sherman Logan
Groomsman
Big Sherm! We have been buddies ever since I was 9 years old and new to the neighborhood. We went from playing basketball all day and Xbox all night. You and your family always brought me in like I was one of their own, and for that I am forever grateful, and it is only right to have you as one of my groomsmen for one of the most important days of my life. Sherm, you are one of the most kind, humble, God-fearing, family man I have ever met. The way you love Faith, and my God son has given me the example of what a true man is. Cheers to 22 years of friendship and I cant wait to kick it in Cancun!

We are locked in for life! #kobeandshaq
Buck DaJuan
Groomsman
My brother, My dawg, Buck!! You are of the realest, genuine hearted, and dependable people I’ve ever met in my entire life. I can always depend on you for a laugh, father advice, a prayer, and a place to crash whenever I’m in the city! I will never forget how you had my back when I was between ATL and DC. I will never forget that, we are locked in for life. You know how to bring joy and laughter to every room that you are in. Thank you for always holding me accountable and being yourself.

Ramir Garrick
Groomsman
G! Thanks for being a great friend over the past few years. Our friendship grew stronger during our deployment. You've always been there for a cigar or a drink as we chat about life. You've been consistently supportive and a great source of comfort as I've navigated through life.
Kevin Whitmore III
Ring Bearer
Silly kiddo, loves running and dancing!
Kasen Jones
Ring Bearer
He loves dancing and playing sports! One of our son's favorite people to hang with!
Turquoise Mann
Maid of Honor
Turq is one of the funniest and most genuine people I know. There is always laughter and good times when we are together. My best friend and partner in crime. From playing violin together in high school, to being broke and making questionable decisions in college, and now living life and navigating the world as real adults. I could not imagine life without her friendship.
Alexandrea Heard
Bridesmaid
Alex and I met freshman year of college because of our mutual love of Law and Order SVU. This is one of the people I have met in life that I just clicked with automatically. Our ability to read other moods and thoughts through just facial expressions is superior.
Brittany Hughes
Bridesmaid
Britt- The sister God saw to give me at a time when I didn't know I needed one. My relationship with her is one of the best things to come from my time in the Georgia Army National Guard. Kevin and I credit our relationship to her. She is real, loving, goofy and always the first on the dance floor. Brittany has always shown up for me no matter the time, location, weather, day, or cost. My forever NSYNC and Backstreet Boys karaoke partner.
Courtney Clay
Bridesmaid
Courtney is my only friend that is an actual sports fan, all things Georgia! From attempting to take sexy pictures on that bench on Morehouse's campus to baby showers and navigating adulthood. Courtney is the friend that you know without a doubt is going to show up on time. She is gentle, consistent, a great drinking partner, supportive, and encouraging. For years I have said I only have 5 real friends, and Courtney has been one of those.
Christine Reid
Bridesmaid
Chrissy Chris is one of the strongest yet goofiest women I know. I am forever thankful for her words when I am having a hard time. She is quick to send you a bible verse and remind you to pray. Everything sounds better coming from her because of her English accent. Cant wait to party and celebrate with you in Mexico!
Taylor Saulsberry
Bridesmaid
My bonus sister, its been a joy getting to know you and form a relationship over the past couple years. From talking about all the girly things, to college, boys, life paths, and family things. Thanks for the laughs, and I have glad I gained you as a little sister.
Amorah Hughes
Flower Girl
She is a silly kiddo who asks lots of questions and loves to laugh! When they first met, she tried to take our son under her wing.
