Wedding Party

Paris

Maid of Honor

My one and only child. My feisty daughter. My Maid of Honor! For 18 years, it has just been Paris and I. She has longed for a father figure just as many days as I have longed for a husband. I prayed for God to bring someone who would accept and love my daughter as if she was their own. Well, God really out did himself with Ryan. The two of them are the best of friends! Paris needed Ryan just as much as I did.

Aunt Lene

Maid of Honor

My precious Aunt Lene. My heart, and soul cannot love this woman enough. We developed such a special bond that can never be broken, and I am so thankful for her. She prayed for years for me to find a man that would marry me. That is not an easy task! She has taught me resilience, unconditional love, and perseverance. When things get tough she says, "No Hill for a Climber." This woman is witty, sharp, and can kick your butt in Black Jack any day! She is my Honorary Maid of Honor.

Danette Aguilar

Bridesmaid

Danette and I met in kindergarten and we have been best sister friends every since! We grew up one street down from each other but weren't allowed to cross the street, so we would stand at the stop signs and talk. We shared breakups in junior high, and cheated on each others papers in high school. I saw her oldest son being born and rushed to the hospital with her youngest son. My Mom loved her dearly and always considered her a daughter. We have always shared life together so my wedding is not an exception!

Gabby Mathis

Bridesmaid

Gabby and I met at church 12 years ago and quickly become friends. We created many memories while I took her to Drivers Ed, and we shared many lunches at Souper Salad. If I was driving, most likely, Gabby was in the passenger seat fearing for her life. But did you die!? As we got older, we continued to create memories but they just looked a little different. Her and the husband Samuel took on the task of co-parenting Paris, which was a very brave move. We danced at their wedding, jumped and screamed in the parking lot when given an ultrasound pic, and fell head over heals for their daughter, Amelia. Gabby has answered the phone at 3 am for me to confide in her, shared priceless advice, and always accepted my craziness. I could not even imagine this day without her close by my side!

Debra Carter

Bridesmaid

I met Debra at church about 12 years ago and she was always the sweetest, and most selfless person. Within the last two years, we have become so close and nothing less than best friends. She has helped me through life, I have helped her through life, and we have met in the middle relying on each other. She is the best dog nanny to my pups I could ever ask for, and an even better landlord! Our favorite memories are always made going on undercover lookouts because well, we are nosy! My day wouldn't be complete without you Deb!

Donna Orsak

Bridesmaid

Oh Donna! Distance, nor time has ever swayed our bond. We always pick back up right where we left off. You have always been my person. We first spoke in the church parking lot when you and your husband become my daughters youth pastors. I would have never guessed then how much laughter we would share! We have gossiped pool side, cried at the beach, and shared pain and overwhelming joy. I love yall BUT I am most thankful that you made me a Tea Tea. I drove hours to Louisiana to meet your precious miracle, Abby and I would drive another 1000 miles. Let's have fun with this!

Jill Howell

Bridesmaid

Jilly! This woman is such a blessing to me. Even though she is the best school counselor ever, she has also been my counselor whether she liked it or not. Her heart for students is untouchable. I pay her daily visits for good ole girl talk and I love every second of it. We have laughed a lot, cried a lot, and she has always been there to encourage me along the way. I told her that I couldn't imagine walking down the aisle without her being apart of it so i am so thrilled to have her stand by me on June 4th!

Faith Brown

Bridesmaid

Faith is truly the sweetest friend I have! She radiates grace, and truly loves big. I met Faith when I started going to Connect Community, and she immediately took us under her wing. When we first met Faith, we were walking through a fire but Faith said she was going to walk with us! This still holds true today. She connects with the Holy Spirit in such a precious way and I honored to say she is a best friend.

Cameron Blanchard

Bridesman

Blanchard!! I knew you had to be in the wedding when I busted in your classroom hyperventilating, and crying because I knew I had found the one! You didn't even move in your seat. You are never swayed by my antics, and also have the perfect, calm words to say. I can talk you about anything and no judgement is thrown my way because you have always accepted me for me. I can always rely on you to put me in check, and keep me in line. Well, you try. I cherish our friendship so much and cannot wait to share this special moment with you! You will be the best "Bridesman" ever.

Chrissy Martinez

Bridesmaid

God put this woman and I together. We went to church with each other for a year before we realized how much our lives were incomplete without each other. We talk about men, break ups, dates, food, Jesus, goals and everything in between. We pray over each other like true sisters do. We love to get dressed up fancy and go on girl dates. It is the best! She loves the Lord with all of her heart. She is sincere, and completely un-selfish. She has a servants heart like no other.. Thank you Sister for loving me.

Kathleen Sanders

Bridesmaid

It took us awhile to get there, but once we did, we have been inseparable! I love this woman's heart, and urge to always be of help. I love that I can count on her for an honest opinion all coming from the heart. She is fiercely loyal and protective of those that she loves. If I ever have a customer service issue, she is the one to handle it. Kathleen gets things done! She has played such a huge part in mentoring my daughter, and for that, I cannot love her enough. I love you most for that precious Ellie Girl! My Tea Tea heart explodes every time she reaches for me. I cannot wait for you to be standing beside me on this big day!
