Christine & Thomas

Wedding Party

Meet our friends and family who will be walking down the aisle with us.

Christine Bednarek

Bride

Amanda Streitmatter

Matron of Honor

Christine and Amanda have been friends for over 20 years. They met in high school and even roomed together in college. More like sisters than friends, Christine and Bubba will be married on Amanda and husband, Caleb's, 11th anniversary.

Kalie Slattery

Maid of Honor

Kalie is Christine's first cousin and by far the closest. Kalie and Christine have spent a lot of time together as kids and as they grew up, they would often visit each other while traveling in various states. Since they’ve both moved from their hometowns, Chicago restaurants and activities are missed by both.

Alexis Nelson

Bridesmaid

Alexis' husband, Jacob, and Bubba grew up together and remained close friends. Christine and Alexis hit it off right away and share a lot of common interests. Since meeting, the four have traveled to New Orleans together and plan to schedule more exciting trips in the future.

Deborah Guice

Bridesmaid

Deb is one of Christine’s oldest friends, meeting when she first moved to Louisiana over 10 years ago. Remaining friends and traveling for work they became close over the last decade.
