Chelsea & Shawn
Wedding Party
Jared Bondeson
Man of Honor
Jared and Chelsea met while volunteering at The Goodtimes Project in 2011 on Chelsea's first trip out to the PNW. Once Chelsea moved out west, Jared quickly became one of their best friends on this coast and has been a pillar in their life ever since.
Sarah Denton
Matron of Honor
Sarah and Chelsea met at a dirty rush party at Emory & Henry College in Fall 2009. They both ended up pledging the same sorority, but at different times. To this day, Sarah is one of Chelsea's oldest and dearest friends, two sides of the same coin, and while they may live over 3,000 miles away, their bond is still just as strong as ever.
Nikki Shumate
Maid of Honor
Nikki is Chelsea's little in their sorority. Chelsea met Nikki through a mutual friend over lunch one bright fall day at Emory & Henry in 2010. Their bond was almost immediate and has continued to grow stronger over the years.
Laura Feet
Bridesmaid
Laura and Chelsea met via waiting tables at Cutter's Crabhouse in 2018. She is an amazing individual that has run multiple marathons and inspired Chelsea to start their running journey again. Her enthusiasm for life (and sweets) is unparalleled and a true beacon of light in this world.
Julia Chusid
Bridesmaid
Julia and Chelsea met at Cutters Crabhouse in 2019 and almost instantly they formed a bond based on deep belly laughs and a genuine love for the other. Julia is one of the most wholesome and uplifting people that Chelsea has ever met and is so thrilled to have her in their wedding party.
Aaron Cabell
Best Man
Aaron met Shawn at a young age only hanging out to eat oatmeal cream pies, drink Vault soda, and play an array of video games. They soon found out that all either of them wanted to do was play video games and eat junk food made by the gods. As they grew up together they realized that they were never really friends but were closer then brothers. A kinship would be formed that could not be broken no matter what the would would throw at it despite Aaron being the true oldest sibling of an incredible 5 sibling family.
Keegan Shea
Groomsman
Keegan, being the youngest of a 5 sibling family, found many jokes would be made at his expense. He would grow to crack wise right back with some pretty memorable retorts. Maybe if you are lucky he will open up enough around you to show you just how funny and captivating he is. If not then chances are you are pretty dull and at a table far from the Bride and Groom
Josh Boyd
Groomsman
Josh was on of Shawn's first friends when they moved out here. Bonding over funny word games and even funnier word jokes they found they saw eye to eye on some very key issues. Aaron and Shawn would later meet up with Josh and all bond over a mutual love of a celebrated card game. If you want to feel heard and talk to someone wise beyond their years then go find Josh. Chances are he is the person who unintentionally gathered a crowd around him due to his loving energy and charming wit.
Kay Nugent
Groomsperson
Kay is one of 3 Co-hosts of the critically acclaimed podcast "Going Up on a Tuesday". Kay and Shawn met at a Pot Shop just trying to sell weed and make it honest. They bonded over their love for weed, good times, and justice for common interests. This platonic love for one another would only grow as the years go and find a third to join the group. Together life long memories were made and ties that could never be broken were formed.
Jasmyn
Groomswoman
Jasmyn joined the weed selling crew and naturally grew into a part of the trifecta that would be the cast of the infamous podcast "Going Up on a Tuesday". Jasmyn is a fashion expert as well as a dance and comedy expert. She lives life fearlessly and takes no shit from anyone. Fair warning tho, She is so nice that you will never want to give her any shit.
