Wedding Party

Chris Thompson

Best Man

Chris has been my best friend since the beginning, or at least his beginning (I'm 14 days older). We owe our friendship to our moms who were also best friends. We've been through a lot together and am very thankful to have him as my best man and friend.

Stephanie Queen

Maid of Honor

Stephanie and I were introduced by a mutual friend during our junior year of college. Although it always seems like one or both of us is back in school for something, Stephanie is one of my favorite friends to just relax and take a break with. Stephanie will always hold a special place in my heart since she introduced me to the love of my life, who I get to marry in just a few short weeks!

Michael Braem

Groomsman

Mikey and I have been friends for a decade now going all the way back to when I was in high school. Since the beginning, Mikey has always been the most caring and thoughtful friend I could ask for. I've learned a lot thanks to him and am honored to have him as a part of Amanda and my wedding.

Lynea Bach

Bridesmaid

Lynea and I met when I started graduate school at the University of South Florida College of Public Health in the summer of 2012. Fate truly brought us together when my random roommate request for grad school was answered! Lynea easily has one of the most carefree and loving personalities that I have ever encountered, and her adventurous spirit has brought us to many beautiful locations in the north and south U.S.

Cody Hernandez

Groomsman

Cody has been a close friend of mine throughout college as we both majored in engineering at the University of South Florida. While our careers now have us in different states, our friendship has persisted. I am very thankful to have as great of a friend as Cody and look forward to celebrating together in June.

Vivian Oduwo

Bridesmaid

Vivian's spirituality and loving relationship with her husband Eric have taught me so many things about enduring and lasting love. She is also so incredibly smart! She inspires me every day to be a more spiritual person and to trust in a greater power. Vivian and I shared work space together for several years, and although we work on separate medical campuses now, I treasure the time we get to spend together, and am honored to have her (and her amazing children) as part of our big day!

Matthew Rutter

Groomsman

Though we both went to college at USF, I did not meet Matt until after I started dating his sister, Amanda. Even from the beginning though, Matt has been nothing short of a great friend and accepting of me as a part of his family. He helped me pick out my first mountain bike and has made family events much more welcoming. I am thankful to have him as apart of Amanda and my wedding and to have him as my brother-in-law.

Allison Crowson

Bridesmaid

Our wedding party would not be complete without Allison! I feel so lucky and blessed to get to call Allison my sister after June 21st. Allison is a first grade teacher, and I always love hearing about the impact that she has on her student's lives, and their course of development during their academic year spent with her. She is one incredible human, and I am constantly impressed at how she balances a life that is so multi-faceted, yet so full of love.
