Beja & Chris
Wedding Party
Emma Boonstra
Maid of Honor
Emma is Beja's cousin, but she is more like her older sister. Emma and Beja grew up together. They were on many family trips together, and attached at the hip. When they were little they enjoyed many outdoor mud kitchens in the backyard, and bike rides around the Interlochen campground, Emma and Beja have so many memories they share between each other and Beja will always cherish each and everyone. Emma is someone who Beja can always count on to be there, and a person to talk to and enjoy a delicious meal or coffee together. Beja is so happy to have Emma as one of her Maid of Honors and to be apart of such a special day. Beja and Chris are so happy to have her standing next to them on there special day.
Bennet Parisi
Best Man
Bennet is Chris's soon-to-be brother in-law, Beja's little brother or as Chris likes to call him, his "big, little brother." Bennet has been around Beja and Chris's relationship from the start, all the way back to when Bennet was just 11 years old. With many memories in "Ranger-Danger" going mudding in the woods, or picking Bennet up from football practice and squeezing (literally squeezing) him in the back jump-seats of the truck with all of his football gear on. Bennet and Chris have grown to have a great big/little brother relationship. Bennet is there when you need him and there for a good laugh...or to eat your leftovers. Chris is very happy to have the relationship he does with Bennet, and to have him stand next to him and be the Best-Man for there wedding.
Austin Rawling
Groomsman
Austin is one of Chris's best-buds. There relationship goes all the way back to Junior High at Eppler, but they really got close in high school. One of Chris's favorite memories with Austin, is when Chris bought his Ford Ranger. Austin was the first person Chris called the day he bought it. They took the truck out, that day, completely stock, to go out mudding. From then on, there were countless trips up-north and many house party memories. Austin is a great guy to call one of your best-buds, he is always there, and is always making someone laugh.. either with him, or at him. Chris and Beja are very happy to have him be part of there day!
Abagail Ignagni
Bridesmaid
Abagail is one of Beja's best friends, the quote "its not about who you have known the longest, but who has always been there," is perfect for there friendship. Beja met Abagail through working at the Urban Dog, after that it was like they knew each other forever. Abagail is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Her passion for animals (especially dogs) is one of Beja's favorite traits about her. Beja and Abagail's conversations are some of her favorites, as they are real, and genuine, and sometimes really hilarious. Beja could not picture her wedding day without Abagail in it. Beja and Chris are very excited to have Abagail be apart of there wedding day.
Ian McGregor
Groomsman
Ian and Chris were in Marching Band in high-school together. Ian, before knowing Chris, thought that Chris was a vampire, a memory that is still laughed about to this day. When Ian and Chris finally got to know one another, and Ian no longer thought he was a vampire, they got really close. Chris, still to this day, has the dirt bike he bought off of Ian. Ian is a great person to have around, if you ever need something, he is there to help you out. He is also a great person to talk to and Chris is lucky to call him a long-time best friend. Chris and Beja are very happy to have him stand up to next to them on there big day.
McKenzee Martin
Bridesmaid
McKenzee and Beja's friendship just happened, and Beja is so happy it did. Beja and McKenzee are a lot alike in many ways. More specifically they love to be party planners, and go all out with decorations. They often joke about starting up there own party planning business together (maybe one day) because they love it so much. McKenzee is always down to go on an adventure, no matter what it is. If you ask them, they have hopes for trips and adventures planned from now until 2023! Beja is very thankful to have the relationship with McKenzee that she does, McKenzee is one of those best friends that will always be there and a great person to have by your side. Beja and Chris are so happy to have McKenzee be apart of there big day.
Giovanni Pansera
Groomsman
Chris likes to refer to Gio as his "other little brother." Chris was introduced to Gio because he is Bennet's best-friend. So Gio was always around, which is where the "other-little-brother" term comes in. Chris and Gio have some great memories together. Memories up-north that should only be told in-person, shooting trips and house parties, all that have great stories to follow. Gio would tell you that, Chris's other love, other then Beja, is his Tractor. Gio is a great guy, and Chris and Beja are very to happy to add to the memories, and have him be part of there big day.
Megan Parisi

Megan is Beja's cousin! Beja can still remember the day her mom got the call that Megan's mom, Beja's Aunt, was going into labor. Megan was the first baby that Beja had ever held, that she could remember. Beja has watched Megan grow up, from soccer games, to track meets. Beja is so happy to have Megan standing up next to her and excited to have her be apart of all the Bridal Party festivities. Beja and Chris are excited to have Megan be apart of there big day.
