Amber & Tyler
Meet the Wedding Party
Cindy Dellinger
Matron of Honor
In 2022, Cindy and Amber will celebrate their 16th friend-iversary. Since forming a strong bond over silly inside jokes (llamas, ghost marbles) and life's biggest ups and downs, Cindy has remained Amber's best friend, truest sounding board and the person who's always ready to laugh (or roll her eyes) at Amber's jokes. They've been through it all, and choosing Cindy to be Matron of Honor was the easiest decision Amber's made through the wedding planning process.
Christina Montana
Bridesmaid
Like Tyler and Amber, Christina and Amber met at the University of Florida. However, it was probably at Broward Dining Hall, and definitely not a football game. Since then, they've quoted Spongebob Squarepants to each other relentlessly, screeched "CHEESY GORDITY" while walking through downtown streets (mostly Amber at Christina's encouragement), hugged as tightly as possible at every union, and laughed until we couldn't breathe. You couldn't ask for a better friend than Christina.
Brianna Hayes
Bridesmaid
Brianna and Amber's friendship was most definitely fate. Eyeing a promotion, Amber began scouring the University of Florida's Facebook groups for public relations majors who were looking for a post-grad job. That's where she found Brianna (or rather, Brianna found her post). Working together for nearly five years at two companies, Brianna has been so much more than a work friend. At every opportunity, Brianna pulls Amber into a new adventure (flying trapeze class, for example). Brianna is smart, kind, ambitious, thoughtful, funny and always the hype girl you need. Amber couldn't imagine taking the next big step in life without her.
Elizabeth "EJ" Caison
Bridesmaid
EJ, Elizabeth, Liz... EJ was introduced to Amber as EJ and that's what Amber intends to call her forever. Amber and EJ met through Tyler—EJ is married to Tyler's groomsman, Owen. While Owen and EJ lived in Orlando, the two couples spent most weekends eating brunch at the Glass Knife, watching Frozen and Frozen 2, eating Indian or Thai food, drinking beer at Bowigen's, and playing various board games. Though EJ has since moved to the panhandle to take the next big step in her career (WE LOVE TO SEE IT!), Amber and EJ's friendship persists nevertheless. EJ is a "poetic, noble land mermaid," Amber's equal as a big fan of The Princess Bride, supportive, funny and an all-around incredible person who Amber knew would stand by her side at her wedding long before the proposal.
Ashley Fraboni
Officiant
Amber met Ashley when she joined her team at work. Together, they conquered every challenge put before them with more than enough room to laugh at themselves - they were the perfect team. When Tyler and Amber started dating, Amber turned to Ashley and said, "You know, he's probably the funniest person I've ever known," to which Ashley took GREAT offense. Ashley has watched Amber and Tyler's relationship grow from "we're just friends" to "I think I might invite him to the Christmas party - it's not a date though" to bad Christmas movie drinking games to housewarming charcuterie boards. Thank you Ashley for trying not to cry through the entire ceremony in order to marry us.
Owen Caison
Best Man
Owen has become an integral part of Tyler's life over the last four years. They met in high school and became lifelong friends in college, bonding over games of LoL and a shared love of quality booze. But their time together in Orlando cemented Tyler's choice of Owen to be his best man. He was the first of Tyler's friends to meet Amber, and over the the past four years he and his wife EJ have shared many a brunch with the bride and groom.
Alex Powell
Groomsman
While Alex and Tyler met in middle school, their friendship wouldn't begin in earnest until college, when they became housemates. The pair quickly bonded over anime, frisbee, and incredibly annoying roommates. After the house, the two shared an apartment and became co-parents to a pup named Ripley who shared their enthusiasm for frisbee. Years later, Alex would lead Tyler and two other friends on an incredible trip to Japan that culminated in a drunken fireworks show, one of the groom's most treasured memories.
John Foeller
Groomsman
John and Tyler met all the way back in elementary school and quickly formed a lifelong bond through Halo, football, and early internet humor. Eventually the two would be separated by college, but John still managed to impart to Tyler his love of all things Frisbee. The pair would go on to be coworkers for a brief time in the middle of the Arizona desert, in what was one of the most fun and interesting periods of the groom's life. John is one of the kindest people in Tyler's life, always seeking to help others and do the right thing. He pushes people to be the best possible version of themselves.
Kyle Proctor
Groomsman
Kyle likes to take credit for Amber and Tyler meeting each other. And let's face it, he's right. While Kyle and Amber have been close friends since 2006, Kyle met Tyler in college. There, Kyle invited Amber to the tailgate where she'd meet her future husband. Kyle is Amber's sounding board for her best and worst ideas - appropriately supporting or talking her off the ledge as needed - and is one of her best friends. Everyone please be sure to thank Kyle throughout the day for his role in making this marriage happen.
