Shannon Baker
Matron of Honor
Shannon & I have been the BEST of friends since our first days of college at George Mason University! She is my best friend, line sister, and college roommate. We have endless memories and inside jokes and can nearly complete each others sentences. I had the privilege of being a bridesmaid in her island wedding, which is where David & I fell in love. We couldn't imagine our special day without The Baker's by our side!
Alexis Hobbs
Bridesmaid
Alexis and I have been friends since our early days at Thomas Dale High School. She loves adventures and has often been part of an impromptu Andrias Adventure and at-home wine tastings, which we still laugh hysterically about even today.
Ashlee Mason
Bridesmaid
Ashlee transferred to Thomas Dale High School for our senior year and we have been friends every since! Ashlee, too, has been whisked away on spontaneous Andrias Adventures to far away places and we had a ball doing it! I had the privilege of being a bridesmaid in Ashlee's wedding last year and look forward to having her by my side as well.
Michelle Carroll
Bridesmaid
I started my freshman year of college and Michelle started her first year of graduate school at George Mason. She is my big sister and soror who tells me like it is and is always ready for a good time.
Loreal Lance
Bridesmaid
Loreal and I met at George Mason University and became classmates, line sisters, and roommates in our senior year of college and our first apartment! We sat beside each other at our undergraduate graduation from the Tourism & Event Management program at Mason and have been collecting Mason Alumni glassware ever since!
Elena Johnson
Bridesmaid
Elena Johnson started off as my co-worker in the Admissions Office at Mason and became a lifelong friend. From lunch bonding to high pressure event surprises she’s been by my side.
Assu Etsubneh
Bridesmaid
Assu and I met when I started working at Events DC and has become a lifetime friend. In just a short time, we’ve done road trips, found the best happy hour in the city, and have planned and attended some of the city’s most elite events.
Denzel Murdaugh
Best Man
Denzel is my younger brother. He is a big part of my life and one of my best friends. Even though we are almost a decade apart in age, we still look to each other for guidance and advice.
Andrew White
Groomsman
Andrew quickly became one of my favorite family members after we met. I admire Andrew's personality for doing things the right way and being a positive influence while being such a public figure. Andrew was there while I was fumbling to ask Andrias's parents for their blessing. We can only imagine how that sounded.
Andrien White
Groomsman
Andrien "Jaire" quickly grew on me, and I look to him as my own "little" brother. Jaire attends The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, which is my alma mater. I have been one of Jaires' biggest supporters over the basketball season and frequently attended his basketball games. We are building a great friendship and brotherly bond which grows stronger each day.
Jeremy Cumbo
Groomsman
Jeremy became one of my first friends when I arrived to North Carolina State, and also one of my college roommates. Jeremy has always been the life of the party and really helped me experience all college had to offer.
Brian Gelson
Groomsman
Brian is a good friend and former roommate from my first time living in Northern Virginia. We actually became roommates through a posting on Craigslist. We quickly became close friends and he still remains one of my sounding boards when I need advice.
Mark Baker
Groomsman
If it wasn't for Mark and Shannon getting married, it could be a reasonable guess that Andrias and I would not be where we are today. Even though I've only known Mark for a year, we both quickly realized that we had a meaningful and lifelong bond. Mark is one of the first people I reach out to regarding the growth and experiences of marriage.
Chris Bing
Groomsmen
Chris is one of my cousins, and has been one of my day 1's. Growing up together, and even when our families lived together, he has always been there for me. I consider him a "little" brother. When he and I get together, whether it's just the two of us or a family function, we always have a good time talking about business or life in general.
