Wedding Party
Eric and Donna VanTassel
Parents of the Bride
I could never thank my parents enough for everything they have done for me. They have always been an encouraging voice, a helping hand, and an ear to listen. They have been there for me through it all. As Brandon and I prepare for our marriage I cannot think of better role models for us. The way they love each other and love their family is so beautiful. There are not enough thank yous in the world for them!
Krista Uffelman
Mother of the Groom
I couldn't have asked for a better mother! Her unwavering love and support has gotten me through so much in my life. I cannot be more grateful for her constant encouragement in everything I decide to pursue. From pop warner football to college graduation she has always been there cheering me on. I can't wait for her to watch me marry my best friend. I know she will be so proud!
Samantha VanTassel
Maid of Honor
They always say a sister is a built in best friend. Samantha's constant encouragement, love, and advice has gotten me through everything that life throws at me. She has always been my role model and and we have too many great memories together to mention. I'm so excited to have her stand next to me on my big day as she has my entire life!
Brian Pletcher
Best Man
When Brian became my step dad I also got a new best friend. From car rides home from practice to nights out with the guys we have shared so many great memories together. He is my role model in life and I can only hope to be half the man that he is. I am so grateful to have him stand beside me as I start my new life adventure!
Myria Brady
Bridesmaid
Growing up as cousins, Myria and I were always together. From family beach trips to basketball practice we created so many great memories along the way. I am so grateful that she is always down for every adventure I can come up with and I am so excited to have her as a bridesmaid as I begin my greatest adventure yet!
Colten Frank
Groomsman
I met Colten in middle school and since then we have gone through all kinds of fun life events together. While we've grown a bit since then our friendship has never changed. Now we spend all of our Sundays in the fall perfecting our culinary skills and cheering on the Patriots. I am so glad that he will join me as a groomsman as I embark on my new journey!
Olyvia Ciulla
Bridesmaid
22 years ago Olyvia and I became friends and she has been there for me everyday since. We went through all of the fun stages together like the first day of school in kindergarten, awkward middle school dances, and going off to college. At this point she probably knows me better than I know myself. I am so grateful to have her as my bridesmaid as I embark on yet another fun stage of life!
Patrick Frank
Groomsman
Patrick and I met in high school and we have been friends ever since. From long afternoons working on our cars to hanging Christmas lights he has always been someone I can count on. He even puts up with all of Allison's craziness and listens to her when no one else will! I don't know what we would do without him. I am so excited to have him as my groomsman!
Rebecca King
Bridesmaid
Rebecca was a guidance counselor at my school during my first few years of teaching. Her office quickly became my favorite spot. Whether I needed to cry or laugh she was always there for it all! She is one of the most sincere and understanding people I know and I am so excited that she will be with me as I cry and laugh on my big day! P.S. she is always willing to talk sports with Brandon when I can't take it anymore...she is a saint!
Kyle Mullins
Groomsman
High school football brought Kyle and I together. All of those crazy car rides to and from practice were just the beginning. Most days Kyle and I could be found playing xbox, running around town, or fishing the local hotspots. We may not be able to do that anymore as he is now a few states away but the friendship is still the same. He has been there for me for a lot of my crazy adventures in life and I am so glad to have him next to me on my big day!
Caro Kokenge
Bridesmaid
Caro was my college roommate at UCF, Go Knights! From football games to sunrise beach trips to late night hangouts at home she was there for it all. Although our lives have now taken us home to different cities the friendship has never changed. I am so grateful that she will be making the trip to stand with me as my bridesmaid!
Frankie Ryan
Groomsman
Frankie is seriously the nicest and funniest guy I know. I am not even joking. He is always the first person to lend a helping hand anytime I need it and can crack a joke at the drop of a hat. I mean what more could you need from a friend! From his endless phone calls to him always being down to hang I cannot be more thankful to have him in my life and I am so grateful he will be standing with me as my groomsman!
Brie Gomez
Flower Girl
We could not have gotten a cuter flower girl! As my cousin and Brandon's miniature best friend it was any easy choice. We are so excited for her to join us on our day!
Alex Gomez
Ring Bearer
He's the coolest little man around! Everyone meet my cousin Alex, the little boy I have gotten to watch grow into such a great little guy. He's smart, cute, and serious about his ring bearer duties. All I can say is the rings are safe with him!
