Wedding Party
Augusta Terrill
Bride
Adventurous, charismatic, selfless, and full of love. Gus is a ray of sunlight in a room. Whether its camping, hiking, getting brunch, golfing, or paddleboarding. She loves being outdoors and active in the world. Some of her favorite things includes dogs, Old Fashioned cocktails, wine, charcuterie, great food, and crime podcasts. Her late father, Dewey Terrill, was and continues to be great inspiration in her life. Those values shine through her in every way.
Alex Durfee
Groom
Alex is the definition of dependable-hardworking, endlessly resourceful, and always ready to lend a hand, just like his father, Robert. A true jack of all trades, he is the kind of person who can fix just about anything and will go out of his way to support those he cares about, especially his friends and family. Alex loves to be outdoors, whether he's soaking up the sun on a golf course or in a body of water. Off the green, he loves exploring new restaurants, sampling creative cocktails, and has a particular appreciation for a good bourbon. To have Alex in your life is truly a blessing.
Taisia Karren
Bridesmaid
Augusta and Taisia first met after Taisia moved into Maryland Parkway East. Their friendship started thanks to a little matchmaking-between their pets! Augusta's dog, Cassy, caught a glimpse of Taisia's beloved cat, Louie. It was love at first sight (for the pets), and it sparked a connection between their humans that quickly grew into a meaningful friendship. Taisia is a beautiful person inside and out. She is known for her kind heart, adventurous spirit, and love for the finer things in life. She enjoys traveling, spending quality time with her husband Lance, sipping great wine and savoring delicious food. Her warmth and vibrant energy light up any room. You can usually hear her before you see her, especially out on the golf course!
Melissa McCargar
Groomswoman
Alex and Melissa first met back in the Civil Air Patrol cadet program in high school and have been friends ever since. Bonding over their interest in aviation, board games, and rick-rolling each other. With a love of music, art, plants, her cat Sophie, and her partner Daniel, Melissa can be described as a lover of life. You can find her hiking, camping, or playing bass guitar in a heavy metal band, or just vibing at a show. She is never shy to make a new friend. Her personality, charm and wittiness can fill up a room and make everyone feel welcome, I mean, she was a radio host for KFMA after all!
Erica Picard-Scott
Bridesmaid
Erica is the ultimate adventurer with a heart as big as the wilderness she loves to explore. Whether she's camping, hiking a rugged trail, or trying a random IPA or Sour beer because it sounds weird-Erica is always up for something unexpected. Her love for wine runs just as deep as her appreciation for a good playlist, which makes her the perfect golf cart DJ (even if she hasn't quite picked up the clubs YET). She shares her life with her husband, Adam, their new puppy Wrecker, and her (semi) outgoing cat, Hemingway-who she will absolutely tell you about if you ask her. Erica's bold spirit, warm heart, and sense of adventure make her a one-of-a-kind friend.
Lance Karren
Groomsman
A great man all around, Lance is the type of person you would be proud to call a friend. He does not hesitate to go above and beyond for the people he loves. His charm, humor, and smooth demeanor draws anyone towards him. A father to Taylor and Matt, a grandfather to seven children , and husband to Taisia, Lance takes great pride in family. He is an avid golfer and gym enthusiast, striving to keep active in life and young at heart. Lance enjoys great food, great drinks, and great company(get this man an Old Fashioned!).
Rennie Karnovich
Officiant
The one who made this all happen! A southern girl with a heart of gold. Rennie can be described by her passion for helping other people in life. A volunteer at Phoenix Children's Hospital and Gabriel's Angels , Rennie and her dogs provide comfort and support to children and their families while dealing through life's toughest challenges. She has a knack for bringing people from all walks of life together, LIKE US! She is an avid Phish fan with over 100 live shows attended. Her past times include brunching, hanging out poolside, training and running for half marathons, and going to shows.
Freya
Honor Attendant
The real star of the show. The girl with a big personality and all the sass. Loveable and loyal to all her friends and family. She's ready to party and eat until she passes out!
Robert Durfee
Father of the Groom
The life of the party, Bob is always locked and loaded to make a joke and get people laughing. He's selfless and caring, the type to give you the shirt off his back to make sure you're taken care of. A proud father to Alex and Courtney, and loving husband of almost 40 years to Patricia. Robert's commitment to family shines in the legacy he built. An entrepreneur, he moved to Arizona to start a company that became a staple to the restaurant industry statewide. A veteran of the Navy with a plethora of achievements, he is a sailor at heart. Bob and Trish were married on the USS Constitution! You can find him enjoying time out on his boat or enjoying the moments with friends from all walks of life.
Patricia Durfee
Mother of the Groom
A kind hearted, selfless, and nurturing soul, Trish is everyone's mom. She goes out of her way to make sure everyone is taken care of around her. Trish is the person everyone can feel at ease in her presence. Her love of service to others showed when she was an in-home caretaker for the late Judith, a special needs woman, to which she sacrificed time from family to make Judith's life easier. She loves to cook, share her recipes, and shower everyone with thoughtful gifts. A proud and loving mother to Alex and Courtney, and loving wife to Robert for almost 40 years, they will be celebrating their anniversary this November 9th by renewing their vows! Trish loves to spend her time by going to Home and Garden shows, travelling, and going shopping.
