Best Man
Nick and Chris have been very good friends ever since they met while Chris was in middle school. Nick and Chris have been on many adventures which played a huge role in Chris' love for the outdoors. Nick is extremely crafty and can build anything imaginable. Nick is an arborist, a contractor, and inventor, and a father to 3 beautiful energetic little girls. Nick is one of the most loyal people Chris knows, and he couldn’t be happier to have Nick be his Best Man on his wedding day.
Matron of Honor
Tessa and Kelli became fast friends during our regular monthly game nights. Together they have taken many adventures from Oregon, to camping, to our annual Big Bear trips. They love traveling and laughing together. Kelli also enjoys building things and is currently working on building a couch. Tessa is so grateful for the support and encouragement that Kelli has given her and is so excited for her to be apart of her and Chris' day.
Groomsman
Grant is Chris' uncle, but growing up he was like an older brother to Chris. Grant and his wife, Charlene, lived as missionaries in India for 7 years before returning to the states. Chris was able to travel out there and visit them a couple of times. Grant has been a very supportive role in Chris becoming the man he is now. Chris and Grant have had many adventures outdoors and Chris is super excited to have him be a part of his wedding day adventure!
Bridesmaid
Charlene is Chris' Aunt and a positive influence on Chris. Charlene is the wonderful mom to the flower girl, Arya, and wife to Grant (who is a groomsman). In her free time she enjoys spending time with her dog Thukpa, and with her friends and family. Tessa is thrilled to have her be part of the bridal party.
Groomsman
Todd is Tessa's (not so little) little brother, and the one you’ll find exploring the outdoors in most of his photos; from snowboarding and wakeboarding to scuba diving and surfing he is always up for adventure. Todd is also one of the funniest people she knows – and with humor like his, we have no doubt he’ll be getting anyone he talks to laughing at the wedding!
Bridesmaid
Taylor has been a close friend for several years! Tessa and Taylor enjoy spending time walking, eating yummy food, and learning more about how to be a better woman of God! Taylor has been a vital part of Tessa's growth in being the woman she is today, asking questions of Tessa, to encourage a more thorough thought process. Taylor is also the amazing Mom to 3 girls and the wife to her husband, David. Tessa is so grateful that Taylor is able to be apart of the bridal party on Chris and Tessa's wedding day!
Flower Girl
Arya is Chris's youngest cousin. She is the cutest little redhead in all of North Carolina. She is full of feisty energy and loves to talk. Tessa and Chris are so excited to have her at our wedding as the flower girl.
