Meet the party!

Chris's Groom Party!

Meet the party!

Bryonna Brown

Maid of Honor

Hey you cool cats and kittens! My name is Bryonna, Keyonna’s older sister. Keyonna is my ride or die, my confidant, and one of the only people that gets my ADHD thoughts as I randomly blurt out virals tik tok sounds and she finishes them! It is hard to look at Keyonna as my younger sister as one of my very first memories was her by my side! We went from fighting like an episode of baddies to becoming besties! To know Keyonna is to love her and I am so ecstatic to be apart of her union with Chris. Screaming finally a Fansler til I’m 6 feet under!!!

Cliff Atchinson

Best Man

My name is Cliff, I've known Chris for almost 10 years, and he's been literally like a brother to me ever since the first night we hung out. I think we were some of the first people he introduced Keyonna to, and she's been a close friend ever since as well, for me and my wife. Sometimes I talk to her more than Chris. I'm so excited for them to make this commitment, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for two of the best people in my life.

Ishita Singh

Matron of Honor

Hi everyone, I’m Ishita! Keyonna and I both moved to NC around the same time and have been inseparable since! On literally my first day, I spotted her in the cutest orange Target workout set (I had the same one in pink — fate, right?). Keyonna is my go-to person for everything: the one I call when I need to laugh, vent, or catch up on life. Even when we’re both busy being bosses, I know I’ll see her every Thursday at line dancing, where she’s my true partner-in-crime. (Spoiler alert: you will catch us breaking it down at the wedding, likely way too hard, but no regrets.) And don’t get me started on Chris, he’s become one of my favorite humans (and also one of my favorite people to tease)! I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate their forever together!

Warren Elliot

Groomsman

I have know Chris since the beginning of my Army career and if it wasnt for knowing both he and Cliff, then I wouldn't have met my wife Chrissy. I also wouldn't have learned a few things along the way. Like the one time we were on orders together and we stayed up late partying and slept through our alarms. A friend of ours took his whole uniform. So while I shaved while driving to Camp Atturbury, Chris showed up to the front gates in nothing but his boxers. He had no I.D and avoided all eye contact. This is when I learned the valuable lesson that just because you’re young, doesn’t mean you should stop drinking 1 hour before report time. (That still didnt stop us)

Brittany Brown

Bridesmaid

My name is Brittany and I’m the bride little sisssta. The groom is my new brother ! I’m so exciteddd! My sister is getting married yall ! You can catch me at the bar or the dance floor at the wedding! Let’s have a good time & celebrate the love birds. ❤️

Nathan Fansler

Groomsman

Hi im Nathan, the grooms brother and lifelong witness to his many phases. Against all odds he found someone who loves him exactly as he is-and somehow agreed to marry him. Truly inspirational. Couldn’t be happier to celebrate these two absolute legends

Kiree Brown

Bridesmaid

Hi, my name is Kiree, I'm 26 and I live in Indianapolis. I am a younger sister of the bride and I just so happen to be in the middle as well lol. I am just so happy and excited for Keyonna and Chris to FINALLY tie the knot! I tell Chris every now and again 'I am gaining the brother I never wanted' haha. It's a joke...but is it really!? I just hope everyone is geared up and ready for a proper celebration for the couple! ❤️

Jessiah Badillo

Groomsman

I met the Chris years ago on ADOS orders, and we immediately connected over video games and making memories we probably can't talk about here. He's always been the life of the party, which explains why it's never boring when we're together. I'm proud to stand by him as he somehow pulled off the best win of his life.

Lexi Sischo

Bridesmaid

Hello, Lexi here! Keyonna & I have been friends for a long time, mainly because I refuse to let her escape me. We share a love for emo music (it's not a phase Mom), Twilight (hoa hoa hoa my ratties), and causing chaos with our sometimes socially acceptable jokes. When I'm not having an existential crisis with Keyonna, you can find me out in SF, California hiking, writing on my food blog, and eating my weight in delicious food & wine! I love both Chris & Keyonna so much and I cannot wait to get them hitched!

Nick Sischo

Groomsman

Hey y’all, I’m Nick. Chris and I met years ago through mutual friends in Raleigh, and I’ve been lucky enough to be part of his and Keyonna’s inner circle ever since. From concerting and traveling together to subjecting Keyonna to marathon board games and homebrewing experiments, we’ve built some incredible memories. I’ve even helped these two suffer through multiple moves across Raleigh. Even from across the country in San Francisco, it’s been a joy to watch these two grow closer through every season of life. My wife, Lexi, and I are proud to call them close friends and can’t wait to see them start this next chapter. Their bond is as unique as they are. Let’s raise a glass to the soon-to-be newlyweds!

Alivia Henderson

Bridesmaid

Hi, my name is Alivia and I have known Keyonna since sophomore year of college.We‘ve grown together, traveled together, and now our friendship continues to the next chapter of our lives. I’m incredibly blessed and honored to celebrate Chris and Keyonna for their big day and I look forward to watching them explore life and love as husband and wife for the rest of their days!

Conlan Dile

Groomsman

Hey everyone! I’m Conlan, one of Chris’s groomsmen. I currently work as an EMT in the Raleigh area. Chris and I met a few years ago while we were in school, and between our shared military background, love for video games, and matching each others crackhead energy, we became friends pretty quickly. I couldn’t be happier to celebrate these two and watch them start this next chapter together. Congratulations to you both — now let’s get the shots pouring and the dance floor moving!

Kareen Rivera

Bridesmaid

Hey y'all, this feels like one of those awkward ice breakers, right? Buckle Up! Keyonna is one of those friends that rechatges your battery in every way. She is always down for anything like wine tasting, Netflix, and puppy cuddles, and any type of dancing. She is a once in a lifetime woman/friend and I can't wait to celebrate her marrying her best friend and my favorite trash talker, Chris. It's truly an honor being next to them on such a memorable day.

Tray GateWood

Groomsman

Husband, Veteran, Fighter, Poet, Comedian at heart. This man is not just a vessel of friendship and humility, but he is also a local vagabond that spreads comfort where ever he goes. Easy to talk to, with a personality chiseled from powering through thousands of failed interactions throughout his child/adulthood. Loud, but not too loud. An attention grabber, but not an attention seeker. Can be happy for others, as well as himself. Has a reputation of leaving the room being a little colder after he departs. Lovely fellow that has been given the honor of becoming a member of Chris Fansler's wedding party. And he couldn't be happier. 🙂
