Diane & Brian
The Wedding Party
Diane Osborne
Bride
Diane is a very sweet, caring, loving, compassionate, and beautiful Christian young woman. Diane first meet Brian through a dating website (Christian Mingle), they chatted online first for a little while. Then decided to meet each other at Applebee's, they sat and talked awhile and got to know a little about each other. It took a couple of dates to get to know each other more and meet her parents. Diane started dating Brian and went to church with him and trips with him to the beach, mountains, concerts and various other places. Diane was able to be herself around Brian. After about 4 years of dating, and meeting our parents, one afternoon Brian sat down on the couch (very nervous) and asked her dad for her hand in marriage. He said "ok just treat her right, she is my little girl."
Brian Boggs
Groom
Oh there is so much to be said here. Brian is a sweet southern gentleman, loving people and life to every single bit of the fullest. He might come off a bit childish, but that is only part of his charm. He can walk in and bring a light into a room just being as humble and kind as he is. He accepts every flaw and cares even when my insecurity, social anxiety, and depression take away my smile, he will find ways to make me laugh regardless. I never thought I could feel as utterly and completely accepted by someone till I came across him. Now I cant imagine life with out him, my best friend, my confidant.
Bobbie Osborne
Mother of the Bride
Some describe her as sweet, funny and caring. However probably the one person I clashed with the most growing up. I respect her as my mom, and love her deeply. Even when she drives me up a wall, being very opinionated. But who doesn't clash with their mother from time to time. I know if I need her, she will coming to my aid, even with a lot of questions. I love you mom, and I will still be your little girl, at the end of the day.
Sharon Boggs
Mother of the Groom
Sharon is a sweet, kind, caring, and loving woman and mother. She has been there with Brian to comfort him when he was scared, got a cold, healed cuts and was there when things went wrong. She taught him how to be a caring and helpful person. She likes to bake cakes and Brian like to help out mixing and tasting the bater just to see if it is alright. :) Brian likes to help his mom out whenever he can. She is very funny, gets along with others well, and helps people out when they are feeling bad or have a bad day to brighten there life up a little. She was there to see him graduated from high school, and college and to see him learn and grow up to be the nice young man he is today.
Gene Osborne
Father of the Bride
Hard worker, family man, some of many qualities about my dad that make him part of who he is. I am defiantly my father's daughter for sure. He taught me many things about life, also gave probably some of the most profound advice and also the only one to keep the peace between my mom and me. From fishing to archery, there isn't many things I didn't follow my dad into. He has the stoic personality, but is that calm before a storm energy. I love you dad, and I know you have been waiting for this day to walk your little girl down, and I am happy its to the one I love.
Jeff Boggs
Father of the Groom
Brian's dad taught him a lot. He is a very kind hearted, sweet, caring, and Godly man. He taught him how to be a man and always "Be Prepared" for whatever life hands you and learn from it. He has always been there for Brian whether it was watching him play baseball (turning a routine single pop-up in the infield into a double play out), seeing him steal a pass in basketball and making a layup on the other side, to watching him receive the Eagle Scout Award, become a member of the Order of the Arrow and being a Lodge Chief of the Lodge Itibap#188 to graduating from High School and College. He has watched Brian become a man and better Godly young man.
Avery & Irene Osborne
Grandparents of the Bride
While they showed love for almost 70+ years on this earth, raising an amazing strong family built on core family values and home cooking. They have been the most amazing beings raising the bride from childhood on into adult hood. My grandmother knew every issue and insecurity I had in life, and I greatly miss her deeply since her passing in November 2016 due to cancer. She taught me most of my recipes I still use to this day, while my grandpa taught me how to work hard and fishing. They accepted everything about me, even when I will fall and scrap my knee. I had a grand time even with very little, they taught me to make the most out of just a tiny bit. Old fashioned they were, but they came from a time when family meant something much more.
E.G. Jr. & Claudine Boggs
Grooms Grandparents
Brian grandparents are in Heaven now together again, but they are in our hearts and we will see them again. Brian's grandparents were the best grandparents. They tried to teach and help Brian grow into the sweet young man he is today. They liked to take Brian on trips to the mall, various other places around town, buy him toys, and ice cream and take him to church to learn about God and His teachings. They watched him play sports and were very active and supportive. They watched him graduated high school and college, and see him receive the Eagle Scout Award, and be apart of the church (sing in the choir like his grandparents did) and help in the sounds room at church. They saw him become the sweet, caring person he is today.
Mable Duffy
Bride's Grandparents on Mother's Side
I dont know much on my grandfather, outside he was a veteran from Vietnam war. I never got to meet him in life, but I did learn your favorite dish from my mom. My grandmother, Mable, I didn't spend much time with her. Quite a bit was because of the drinking, and tobacco use. Also she spent more time with my cousins. Most of my memories are not happy ones, out side of a very few. I know you tried, but we just didn't get along.
Paul and Mable Buff
Groom's Grandparents on Mom Side
Paul and Mable Buff are Brian's grandparents on his mother's side. Both of them are in Heaven too and we will see them again someday. Paul and Mable were both hard workers, and loved each other very much. Paul loved working on the farm and Mable loved to plant flowers, do crafts, and sewing, and trying to be good parents and grandparents. They helped Brian grow and teach him things about life and how to be a good person.
Pete Wilson
Bride's Uncle
Probably only other person besides my dad, that was also a second father figure to me. You taught me how to drive both car and boat. I wish you were here with me, but I know your watching from heaven. Solid Christian man, and family man. You treated my aunt like a queen when you were here, and I am happy to have called you my uncle. You would have loved my future family, and gotten along with them so well.
Steve Boggs
Groom's Uncle
Steve is Brian's uncle and is in Heaven too. Steve will always be in our hearts too, and we will see him again too. Brian thought a lot of Steve. Brian loved him and loved his passion for history and what history tells us. He loved hearing Steve tell stories of what he did and what he did as his job goes. Steve worked at Newport News Shipbuilding and loved to build model ships and Brian liked doing that too, He still does it once in awhile. He loved going to Virigina and visiting him up there and they would go visit historical places and he would tell Brian things he didn't know about and taught him a lot about history. He and Steve loved talking and going to see NC State play basketball and football. He also loved going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, VA too. Loved riding rides too.
