Tonya & Chris
Wedding Party
Chance Onesi
Best Man
Chance and I met online when a friendly World of Warcraft duel turned super serious after we found out we both lived in Atlanta. Though we were on opposite sides of town, we were still able to connect between meetups through a common love of games including anything from video games, to MTG, to Warhammer (I'll paint them soon, I promise). Not limited to just games, most hobbies I come across I'll find that Chance also has a common interest. Chance is a staple friend that I've gone to for advice during my whole journey of meeting and falling in love with Tonya, and has always been there for me.
Kylaine Kimari
Maid of Honor
Kylie has been one of the best people in my life to experience the years following high school to now. I met Kylie when we worked at Borders Bookstore in 2010. We both went through the happy and fun times as well as the stressful times at the bookstore, but I'm so glad we continued our friendship through career changes and moving in and out of states! She now resides in Dallas, TX and I'm so glad to call her one of my best friends and a friend I know could nerd out with through cosplaying and video gaming! One of the many great memories with Kylie has been at DragonCon, mainly the time when I dressed up as Gamora and she dressed up as Black Widow! Two powerful, independent women representing all things geekery! I'm so happy to have Kylie with me on my big day and through it all!
Ballyn Miller
Groomsman
Ballyn and I met during college at an on-campus programming job. We was my first real CS mentor, and though we split paths after Morris, we remained close and navigated our early careers together. Our friendship further expanded through Gaming, Music, Fashion, and Sports. Some of my favorite memories with Ballyn are playing basketball and going to the second International together in Seattle. I taught Ballyn how to ball and he taught me how to play DotA.
Grace Carlock
Bridesmaid
I first met Grace on a coffee date to find a roommate when first moving to Atlanta in 2015 and we quickly became city venturing roomies in the big city! I love Grace for her huge heart and caring nature for both humans and animals alike! Some of my favorite experiences with Grace are those monthly brunch dates (we need more!) we have all over the city and going to the many concerts like PVRIS! We've shared so many experiences since we both moved to Atlanta and I am so happy to have Grace as my bridesmaid on my big day. (it is also her birthday too!)
Roland Heintze
Groomsman
Roland and I met in HCI class in college. I knew we'd get along when I saw his meaty fingers hacking away at Arch Linux on his hilariously small netbook. I credit a huge part of my career & general life success to both Roland and Ballyn and our mutual growth as professionals start with my first real programming job at Morris. Late night rantings with Roland about work and getting carried in whatever flavor of the month FPS game he gets me into (not CS) are things I'll cherish forever.
Elizabeth Houston
Bridesmaid
I met Elizabeth through Chris at a double date to the Renaissance Faire when Chris and I first started dating and she became such a wonderful person in my life! We bonded while the guys did their thing throwing axes and the medieval manly things. She exudes kindness and so much enthusiasm for life everywhere she goes and it's been a blessing to have met her and so happy to be nearby to venture into the wild jungle of Atlanta with her! I'm excited to share this big day with her!
Keifer Tuberville
New Brother & Groomsman
Keifer is my 2nd favorite Tuberville and soon to be 1st favorite after I marry his sister. We have gotten along like brothers since we met and he has welcomed me into his family and sister's life with open arms. From hanging out drinking PBR to raging the night away feeding in League of Legends, I know I will forever be able to find a good time bonding with my brother Keifer.
Stephanie Boles
Bridesmaid
I met Stephanie through the adventures of chemistry and work years ago when we both found ourselves in Atlanta and at the CDC. She's made every day such a joy and and has brought so much laughter and sincere care into my life and I'm so happy to have found her in this big city of Atlanta! We've helped motivate each other on grueling workout days (12 Days of Christmas.....too many burpees!) and even some exciting dance workouts that I'll never forget! I'm so happy to have Stephanie with me on my big day and can't wait to celebrate!!
