Wedding Party
Mary and Frankley Bailey - Parents of the Bride
The King and Queen who brought the bride into this world. These two have showered Angel with unwavering love, support, and wisdom over the years. They’ve taught her strong values and principles, and much of who she is today can be credited to the influence of her parents. Angel is the baby of 6 children. She is the last child to get married. These parents are filled with joy!
Ronald Hardy Sr. - Father of the Groom
Ramon is often described as a spitting image of
his dad, a man who has been his greatest role
model. Through his wisdom, guidance, and
unwavering faith, he has instilled the values that
shape Ramon today—including his commitment
to God, family, and integrity. His leadership and
love have been a constant source of strength,
and Ramon is beyond grateful to have him be a
part of this special day.
Jayla Hart - Maid of Honor
Jayla is Angel's bestfriend. Together, they've shared nearly every season of life, with Jayla by Angel's side through both the deepest struggles and the greatest triumphs. She has been there to celebrate every achievement and has witnessed Angel's journey as a single woman. There's no one else Angel would rather have by her side than the one who has been by her side through thick and thin.
Cornelius Allen - Best Man
Every groom needs a right-hand man, and for
Ramon, there was never a question about who
that would be. Cornelius is more than just a close
friend—he’s family. Whether they’re hitting the
gym, cracking jokes, or sharing encouraging
words with each other, their bond is built on years
of loyalty, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Mary Ellis - Bridesmaid
The "Match Maker".
Mary Ellis is Angel's older sister and the one who introduced Angel to Ramon in 2012. Over the years, even during the 12 years they didn't speak, she often reminded Angel that Ramon was meant to be her partner. Mary first encountered Ramon at a church service where he spoke on the program, and she was immediately drawn to his charismatic and vibrant personality. Captivated by his confidence, she instantly felt he would be the perfect match for her sister.
Crystal Mitchell - Bridesmaid
Crystal is a longtime friend of Angel who played a key role in reconnecting her with Ramon in 2024. Angel and Crystal graduated high school together in 2011, and they reconnected in 2023 when Crystal joined Angel's church. After catching up over lunch, Crystal reached out to Angel, suggesting that a man she knew named Ramon would be the perfect match for her. Taking a bold step, Crystal contacted Ramon through social media, and the rest, as they say, is history.
The Sisters - Bridesmaids
Angel is the youngest of five sisters, and her sisters were her first best friends (Jessica Brown, Mary Ellis, Audrei Bailey, and Rose Britten). She's the last one to get married, but they’ve all had a significant influence on her when it comes to marriage. For years, she's watched them as they’ve been a source of inspiration, and now, she not only gets to continue admiring them as married women but also join them as a married sister herself.
Rachele Hardy - Bridesmaid
Rachele Hardy is not only Ramon’s sister but also his closest friend. For years, these two have been inseparable. Rachele has played a pivotal role in shaping Ramon’s life, offering love and guidance that has helped mold him into the man he is today. She has been more than just his sister—she's his biggest supporter, greatest motivator, and best friend.
The First Nieces - Bridesmaids
Markayla Ellis (bridesmaid), Madelyn Ellis (Jr. Bridesmaid), and Martha Ellis (Jr. Bridesmaid) are Angel’s first nieces. They’ve always been the little sisters she’d dreamed of having. These three young women have been there for Angel through every season of her life, and their influence has helped shape her into the caring person she is today. It would be impossible for her to imagine one of the most important days of her life without them by her side.
Adara Goita - Flower Girl
Ada is the bride's youngest niece and Angel's little "bestie." Despite the distance between them, these two share an unbreakable bond. Angel adores this little one and will have her by her side for every celebration.
Melah Hardy - Jr. Bride
Melah is the youngest niece of the groom and
brings her bold personality and infectious energy
wherever she goes. She shares a special bond
with Ramon, sealed with their very own unique
handshake, a symbol of their close connection.
From playful moments to unforgettable
memories, she has a way of making everything
feel brighter.
Zion Hardy - Jr Groom
Zion is the groom’s youngest nephew and brings
an abundance of energy and joy wherever he
goes. With a loving heart and a smile that’s truly
unforgettable, he’s always the life of the party.
His bright spirit and enthusiasm make him a
perfect addition to the wedding day.
Ronaldo Hardy - Groomsman
Ramon’s second oldest brother, Ronaldo, has
been a constant source of encouragement,
always pushing him to reach his full potential.
From countless shared memories to crafting
catchy jingles like "Hardy Party" he brings
energy and creativity wherever he goes. Ramon
is proud to have him by his side on this special
day.
Carlos Burrell - Groomsman
Carlos became one of Ramon's friends in high
school after instantly bonding over their love for
Kobe Bryant. Their passion for sports led to
countless debates, endless laughter, and
eventually, The Opinionated Benchwarmers
podcast, where they break down the game with
their signature takes. Whether they’re talking
sports or just cracking jokes, their friendship has
stood the test of time.
Jay Collins - Groomsman
Ramon and Jay go way back, starting as childhood friends before life took them in different directions. As adults, they reconnected, picking up right where they left off. Known for his fun loving nature, dependability, and success as a well-respected businessman at a young age, Jay is someone Ramon admires.
Zack Selders - Groomsman
Ramon and Zack have been friends since
childhood, reconnecting as adults like no time
had passed. A true jokester, he keeps everyone
laughing while also being one of the most reliable
people Ramon knows. Their friendship includes a
shared love for the Lakers—so you can bet their
text threads are full of game breakdowns.
Travis Simmons - Groomsman
Ramon is proud to have Travis standing with
him—not just as a friend, but as one of the best
drummers around. Whether they’re in the gym
pushing each other or just hanging out, his
dedication and talent speak for themselves.
Despite his skills, he always stays humble (or so
he says).
Robert Snowden Jr - Groomsman
Robert (Rob) became one of Ramon's friends in
high school, bonding over their love for Kobe
Bryant and the Lakers. A natural jokester and
one-third of The Opinionated Benchwarmers
podcast, he’s always ready with a hot take or a
good laugh. From sports debates to unforgettable
moments, their friendship has only grown
stronger over the years.
Donte Williams - Groomsman
Ramon and Donte have been friends for as long
as they can remember. A talented drummer,
former teammate, fantasy football opponent, and
all-around solid friend, he’s always bringing
laughter to any room that he's in. Whether
cracking jokes or creating lasting memories, he’s
been a constant in Ramon’s life.
