Groom
Mother of the Bride
Cheryl Ann is the kindest soul you will ever meet. If you ask anyone they will say "I love Cheryl Ann" and it's true. Her selflessness and creative soul provided a great example of the type of woman Krista always wanted to be. Cheryl has shown Krista that women really can do it all, they have made furniture, drove tractors and gone to galas. Her strength is also to be admired. Cheryl has instilled her independence in all her girls and Krista could not be more thankful to have her as her mother.
Mother of the Groom
Catherine Moore instilled Michael's sense of independent thinking from the start. Something that has shaped him as a man to this day. Cathy, deemed Meme by her many grandchildren, seems to be the baby whisperer and has been able to create a sanctuary over in the good old EK for her whole family. You can often find Meme in the garden or dancing with one of the kids. Michael will be forever be grateful for the piano lessons that he started at a young age as they created a solid foundation in his love of creating music.
Father of the Bride
Peter Camacho, the only boy of his family, just happened to be saddled with 3 tenacious, competitive and intelligent girls of his own. Peter learned from his father Henry what it meant to sacrifice for ones children, something Krista has always been grateful for. His loyalty and dedication to his family has never gone unnoticed. Peter also instilled a sense of adventure and love for travel in Krista, having travelled all over the world. They even got to go to Brazil together. He taught Krista what it meant to truly give and she will forever and always be the De De Baby.
Father of the Groom
Michael C. Moore, "Boss" as Krista calls him and "Dad" as Mikey calls him, is just that. Picture an Italian American dad and you've got Popum (his grandpa name set by Sadie). He definitely holds the air of De Niro and shares "foodie" status with his son. Michael is a grill master and diligent worker when he's not golfing. Mikey is grateful for his athletic abilities, fostered by his dad. Mike is a fellow Merrimack Valley kid like Krista's parents and loves to geek out over American war history, specifically the Revolutionary and Civil wars. This has been interesting to write considering they have the same first name.
Sister of the Bride
Little sister number 1 for the bride, Angela Cher is the passionate, talkative and comedic sister. Probably considered the most outgoing of the 3, Ange made her way to San Diego for college and never came back. Even though she says San Diego is the best, she still craves beach pizza. She once played Beethoven in a school play and enjoys music festivals in the desert. Ang and Krista's song is "I Love You Always Forever" and they would often have dance parties in the kitchen with Talya and the dogs.
Sister of the Groom
Jamie is the first little sister of Mikey and mother of 3 very important children to the bride and groom. She set the stage for finding your soulmate amongst friends of family members when she and Pat, Mikey's highschool buddy, got hitched. Jamie is known for her infectious laugh and tenacity to do it all. She has always been a supporter of everything Mikey does and loves her brother fiercely. Krista owes a lot to Jamie, becoming her pseudo older sister and teaching her how to do things like care for curly hair. All in all J is the best.
Sister of the Bride
Talya Rob is the baby sister of the Camacho 3. She is known for her spit fire attitude and love for animals, especially bunnies. Tal has always been admired for beating to her own drum and finding her own path. If she has a goal, she does it. She is a chocolate connoisseur and somehow always convinces Krista to bake something for her. She has many nicknames but to Krista, she'll always be Babein.
Sister of the Groom
Samantha is the key to all of this. If it were not for Sammie, none of us would be attending this event. She is the second sister of Michael's and Krista's childhood best friend. Sammie and Krista met each other when they were in 6th grade and became best friends playing basketball, of all sports. The rest is history. Samantha is known for her angelic voice and loyalty. She is the mother to three little nuggets that mean the world to the bride and groom.
Cousin of the Bride
Laryssa is Krista's person from literal day 1. The stars just seemed to align when the family gave these two to each other. Being a year older than Krista, Laryssa has always been someone she admires. It has always been the pair of them. Laryssa is known for her spunk, and killer dance moves. It was their Madeira trip that really opened their eyes to their culture, the beauty of where their family came from and their bond.
Sister of the Groom
Grace is the youngest sister and Michaels twin. It seems like she just always knew these two would end up together. Grace has got it all- she is a bookworm, gym enthusiast, loyal friend and understanding soul. She can also sing like an angel and plays bass guitar. She is graduating from USD this year and both Krista and Mike are very proud. Grace is the OG nugget for Michael and he always seems to mention how cool she has grown up to be.
Flower Girl
Sadie James is the ultimate flower girl. She is the first born grandchild for the Moore family and has a spitfire and passionate attitude. She loves princesses, mermaids, flowers and dancing. She is an incredible little athlete and an even more loyal friend. Uncle Mike could not be more proud to be an uncle to miss Sadie James. They love to have jam sessions together and make some music. For a while, Auntie Krista was "my Krista" and to be honest, Krista could not be more honored. This little girl will rule the world one day.
Ring Bearer
Elijah, or yaya, is the best cuddle bug out there. This sweet boy has the kindest soul and will stick up for what he believes in. He loves everything bigfoot, dinosaurs and pokemon, and could hit a golf ball better than 90% of people by age 2. He always down for jammin with Uncle Mike and riding bikes. Auntie Krista is always laughing around this silly boy and he is the first to give you a compliment.
Flower Girl
Miss Janey Jane is the cutest little peanut you'll ever see. She is a great little story teller and snuggle bug. This little fireball loves Chewbacca, something Uncle Mike and Auntie Krista are very proud of being Star Wars fans themselves. Jane loves to make you laugh and is ready to be your partner in crime. It's always a good day when you get to see Jane.
Flower Girl
Josephina Marie is the sweetest little soul. Her little laugh is infectious and you can see her inquisitiveness through her big blue eyes. She loves whales, specifically when they breach the surface, Moana, singing and taking a walk. She is a typical first born- incredibly intelligent and knows what she wants. Auntie Krista and Uncle Mike cant wait to see her grow and take her on adventures.
Ring Bearer
Ezekiel is the cutest baby with an old man soul. This little one loves the drama, a true little drama king and he holds his own, even as the smallest mobile toddler of the bunch. We don't think he will be the smallest for long. He also loves to dance, so expect to see him out there at the wedding giving you all a run for your money with his killer moves!
Baby of the Wedding
He's making it to the party everyone! Lionel is here and ready to show you all the cuteness he's got. The third of the Simmard clan, Krista and Mike could not be more ecstatic to have another little one to gush over and play with because let's be honest, at any family event, Mike and Krista end up goofing around with all the kids. And they wouldn't have it any other way.
Wedding Baby
This will be the littlest of the Thornell gang and officially the youngest wedding attendee. Mike and Krista are so excited to watch Thing 1 (baby simmard) and Thing 2 ( baby thornell) grow up together. Two peas in a pod. To be updated upon arrival :)
