Chandler & Hope
Wedding Party
Hope Dobson
Bride
Born in HTX, raised in Dallas, TX but left part of her heart in aggieland. Hope spent her senior year in Bozeman, MT and for a moment, was convinced she could brave the cold and attend MSU. Paise God some sense was knocked into her and she answered the call of Kyle field. Hope spent 5 years in College Station, because obviously 4 was not enough, and left with a degree in Communication. She pursued her dreams of coffee for a year and then moved on up, literally, to Oklahoma to lead the youths as a youth pastor. While her time in the okie state was short, it was ever so sweet because she met the love of her life the only way gen z knows how...online. From Hinge to Hitched she is ecstatic to start her life with Chandler and in the best state there is...Texas. Thanks. And Gig'em.
Chandler Morris
Groom
Born in Altus, OK raised in Kansas. Chandler was a musical prodigy straight outta da womb. By age 6 he was strumming guitar, by age 7 piano was all the rage, year 10 and up was, well, any instrument you can name, and yes, that includes the accordion. Chandler moved to Tulsa circa 2016 and pursued what any young man obsessed with music does after high school, jazz guitar. Short lived but long lasting, jazz brought him to some of his closest friends today. It is also important to note that Chandler was also a barista. It was meant to be(an). Hinge was "the last resort."; and he gave himself three more swipes. Hope was the third. The rest is, well, you are helping us start the beginning. Cheers to Hinge, and cheers to third times a charm.
Cinnone Knight
Maid of Honor
Nonney!!! Hope's longest friend, in distance and time! Cinnone met the bride at the wee age of 4 years old. Her dad and the father of the bride worked together at a church in the quaint little city of Orange, TX. Cinnone and Hope's friendship progressed how any young, princess loving, barbie obsessed, and wedding starry eyed friendship does. Many nights were spent watching the Princess and the Pauper, Hope was obviously the 'blue' princess and Cinnone was the 'pink' and planning/dreaming about their prince charmings and what their special day would look like. (Ask her about the VHS incident) Even though multiple moves separated them, nothing can break a barbie bond. Hope has wanted Cinnone as her MOH ever since she can remember and can't wait to have her there on her big day. Cinnone is loyal as all get out and Hope promises to one day return the VHS...maybe.
Jace Davison
Best Man
Jace. Davison. Whata guy. Often mistaken for my brother, he and I did not emerge form the same womb. But, our love for music is intertwined. I met Jace at Tulsa Community College in, you guessed it, jazz band. He was the saxophone player to my guitar. The sting to my strum. On a real note, Jace has been there through the pre hinge, post hinge, post post hinge, and re-downloading of hinge. Jace is truly my brother from another mother, the sno cone king, and the best dancer I know. You don't want to miss his moves on the dance floor.
Amanda Nymeyer
Matron of Honor
Mandy! Hope and Amanda met serving their time at Pine Cove Ranch. Amanda, or "Llama," was the best hot dog anyone ever did see. Hope and Amanda both went to the incredible school, Texas A&M, and ended up living two streets down from each other for their last year of college. How fitting that now they live across the street from each other. Next we will just be living in their house! Amanda is also one of three, well not biologically, but where there is Amanda, there is Bethany <more on her later>...and Hope ofc. Amanda is wise and the most intentional friend. Having your best interest at heart, she loves to grow with you and encourage you along the way. She also let Hope crash on her floor when Hope moved back to Dallas...until Seth. (JK I love you Seth)
Kyle Morris
Groomsman
Kyle! My actual brother! From the same mother! You were my first musical influence and have been there at the start of my musical discovery and encouraged me every step of the way. I am so thankful to have you as a brother and friend and admire your personality and the way you care for people. I look back on all the times I was an annoying little brother and how you were always looking out for me. I wouldn't trade it for the world!
Olivia Peeler
Bridesmaid
The sister of the bride and keeper of the vibe. Even though Olivia and Hope are 6 years apart, they have the sister bond down. Olivia makes sure to keep Hope updated with what is happening in the world around her such as what is cool and not cool to wear, do, and say these days. She would probably say saying that was not cool. Olivia is strong and passionate about her people and friendships. Despite her size, I'd defiantly have her fight for me. #Tinybutmighty Olivia is the best sister ever and Hope's favorite sister! Can't wait for her to bring the party and the slang to Hope's biggest party yet!
Cole Peeler
Groomsman
Cole. My bro, this is from Hope. So many stories, jokes, and events that will stay between us. I love your care and commitment to our family. You have always been tender towards me and everyone you meet. You are honorable and stand up for those around you. I love you and have always known you were in my corner. Thank you for sharing this special day with us! Happy to add another bro to the family.
Bethany Egan
Bridesmaid
Beth Beth! The third in the Amanda, Hope, and Bethany trio. Hope met Bethany at Pine Cove Ranch as well and served as a senior counselor with her and Amanda. Hope actually became close to Bethany her first summer at camp while Hope was a wrangler and Bethany was a counselor. Bethany has brought so much joy and fun to Hope's life. She has also, maybe unknowingly, become Hope's personal stylist. One of Hope's favorite memories with Bethany is visiting her in Seattle with the whole senior counselor team. Also, when Hope first moved back to Dallas, she stayed with Bethany for a couple weeks...until Truett. (JK I love you Truett) Hope can't wait to share this day with Bethany!
Josiah Showman
Groomsman
JOOOOOOOO. What a tall and good looking guy. I know where I am going for basketball lessons...and volleyball...and pickleball....so anything athletic. Brother. Help. Joe is truly the coach in your corner and has been for me. He loves sharing the gospel with kids because he's a youth pastor, but he also knows how to have fun. ;) It has been an honor for Chandler to get to serve alongside him in youth ministry and learn from his leadership.
Ashton Galbreath
Bridesmaid
Ash! Ashton wears many hats, in life and in this wedding. Aston is basically Hope's wedding planner along with other bridesmaid Kate Milling. How lucky that theres 2 wedding planners on Hope's dream team. Alongside wedding planning, Ashton also is an incredible host, awesome dog mom, and soon to be Galbreath! (Or I guess will be come December!) Hope has had a blast going to this season, basically at the exact same time. If you have ever seen the movie Bride Wars, picture that...but nicer...and we like each other...and our weddings are only 20 days apart. Ashton is kind hearted and others focused. Probably why she makes such a great wedding coordinator!
Chase Wolters
Groomsman
Chase Wolters. A true legend. one of the funniest people I know. If he get's down he always bounces back. He has a knack for smoking meat and making people laugh. He attended OSU and has big plans for his life. Chase. Freaking. Wolters. And thats all you need to know. See you on Kill tony.
Abbey Grace McDougal
Bridesmaid
Abadoo! Hope and Abbey Grace met the end of Hope's freshman year at A&M via Grace Bible Church. They both signed up for a mission trip in Northern Africa and bonded for life the night they met...which started a Mediterranean restaurant and ended two stepping at Hurricane Harrys, rip. Abbey and Hope have just about everything in common. Travel, music, coffee, thrifting, reading, they even use the same shampoo and conditioner. They differ in the fact that Abbey is an incredible artist and you will see some of her work throughout the wedding. (Check out our invites!) Abbey Grace is kind, servant hearted, and always down for fun times and an adventure. She will definitely keep the vibes up on the big day!
Jordan Nettles
Groomsman
Jordan. The best basketball player I know (maybe second best idk). If you ever need a pad player for your worship set he is your man. Jordan is a true gentleman and the most attractive guy in Jones, Oklahoma. He is also on the hunt for Governor of Oklahoma so watch out!
Claire Shipley
Bridesmaid
Claire Shipley! Claire and Hope met through a mutual friend while Hope was at A&M. While they have never had the opportunity to live close together, Claire is always OOO, or out of the country. Thats missionary gurls for ya! Their friendship is just as strong though! Claire has been there for most major events throughout Hope’s post grad life and has been a consistent prayer partner and friend!
Allen Quinton
Groomsman
Allen. It has been a great ride with you. Some might say we drove a pretty fast car together through life. Even though Michigan is in the rear view, I see a bright future for us both. Preferably on the green. Preferably sinking birdie putts. Allen, see you on the dance floor.
Hannah Stiltner
Bridesmaid
Hannah girl! Hope would call Hannah her Tulsa lil sister. Although younger, Hannah is wise beyond her years. Hannah befriended Hope while she was attending Antioch Tulsa and got to have a inside look into her and Chandler’s beginning. Especially the warnings on why on earth are you on hinge!? Haha. Hannah is always there to pray and lift Hope up!
Sam Blount
Groomsman
Samuel Paul Allen Blount. My original worship pastor and friend. You opened my eyes...ears...to real music and that includes Coltrain and King of my heart. My King. Sam was once a Dallas man, like I am soon to be, but converted back to Tulsa. Maybe I'll follow in his footsteps.
Lauren Kelsey
Bridesmaid
Lauren, or Lo, has been a constant friend, encourager, mentor, and spiritual sister to Hope since 2021. Fast and quick friends who shared a job as a barista at a coffee shop in College Station, Lauren and Hop, and occasionally her golden Finnley, were together at all times. Lauren is a listener and loves all things crunchy. Hope’s camping buddy and bestie also has a little boy named Ezra with one on the way!
Jacob Freeman
Groomsman
Jake, QB 1, a roomie for life, but not forever. Jake, you are as loyal as a friend can get. You know your way around a cup of coffee and always had the best gear to make it. If you are in to duck hunting....this is your man. Jake is there for the slow cup of joe mornings and the throw pianos off of bridges nights. Jake...happy marriage, I am right behind you brother.
Kate Milling
Bridesmaid
Kate Milling was Hope’s college roomate and will always be her #1 supporter and hype friend. Kate is down for a good time all the time except sometimes, ya know. Kate recently had the sweetest angel, Walker Milling, and obviously auntie Hope is obsessed and will forever call him Tony. (Feel free to ask about that hehe) Kate calls it like it is and will always be the realest and down to earth friend Hope has.
Kameron Chancellor
Bridesmaid
Kam! Kameron, like Lauren, has been there through the THICK of college and Hope’s countless, jk but not really, bad boyfriend choices. Kameron, Hope likes to say, is her councilor and psychologist. She is always willing to analyze and offer wisdom and boy does Hope need it. Hope is grateful for all that Kameron has listened to her talk about over the years and can’t wait to keep talking for years to come.
