Kanika Young and Robert Anderson Wed

This was a year of weddings for the Youngs. My childhood best friend Francene in April, and her sister Kanika (Niecy) last week. Niecy was born when Franny and I were in the ninth grade; she was our little baby doll. Not any more.

The wedding was at Rising Sun Missionary Baptist Church in Port Gibson.

Here’s the bride’s side. Can you tell the bride and her mother Katie are Deltas?

Here’s Robert (Maine) with some of his little groomsmen.

Katie’s brother, Jesse, and sister, Polly.

Katie was checking the program to make sure everything was on track. Her husband Monk at her side.

Here come the men.

Groom’s mother, and other family.

Matrons and maids.
