Wedding Party
Jennifer Ohman
Maid of Honor
Jennifer is Christine's sister. Knowing Christine from birth, Jennifer and Christine locked in Maid of Honor roles at a very young age during a night where they were sharing the bathroom to get ready for bed. Jennifer was in the shower and Christine was at the sink. After the proposal, Christine casually started talking about Jennifer being her Maid of Honor and Jennifer questioningly looked at Christine and asked if she was going to be Christine's Maid of Honor. Christine laughed and reminded Jennifer of the long ago conversation and officially asked Jennifer to stand next to her during one of the most important day of her life. She said, "yes"!
Lexi Jansma
Bridesmaid
Christine has known Lexi since before she was born. Christine and Lexi’s parents had been friends for a few years through their church community group. Jesse, Christy and Christine became fast friends being they were all from Michigan and living in Seattle. When Lexi was born, Christine immediately loved that little girl and all of the snuggles. While celebrating holidays, babysitting, enjoying dinner/game nights and going on travel expeditions, Christine’s bond with Lexi continued to grow. Being Lexi is Christine’s favorite 10 year old, it only makes sense for her to join the bridal party for the special day. After being asked to be a bridesmaid, Lexi went to school telling all of her friends she’s going to be in her Auntie’s wedding! Both of them are excited for a great day!
Nancy Ohman
Mother of the Bride
Nancy has big shoes to fill on the big day! Not only will she be the Mother of the Bride but she will be standing in for the Father of the Bride to walk Christine down the aisle. Willie and Christine thank Nancy for all of her contributions to make the day one to remember!
Don Ohman
Father of the Bride
Although Don passed away nearly a year before their wedding day, Willie and Christine feel it is important to recognize him, as their celebration would not have been possible without his support and guidance. He will be in their hearts as Willie and Christine commit themselves to each other.
Kevin Daniel
Groomsman
Kevin is the son of Willie's godparents and knew Willie since his birth. Their close bond grew strong over their shared love of sports. Growing up, they spent time going to movies and hanging our at the Daniel's house. The Bradleys and Daniels even celebrated the holidays together. As they grew older, Kevin is someone Willie counted on for advice and guidance, which still holds true today. Willie's wedding day wouldn't be complete with Kevin by Wille's side.
Bill & Dorothy Bradley
Parents of the Groom
Willie and Christine are thrilled to have the support of Willie's parents as they prepare for their life together. Being from Oklahoma, Michigan is quite a distance to travel and Willie and Christine are so thankful they made the journey and look forward to celebrating with Bill and Dorothy on the dance floor!
Theresa Baum
Officiant
Christine and Theresa’s friendship began in first grade and has spanned nearly 35 years. They’ve played softball, spent summers at camp, attended dances, studied at Michigan State, and share a love of games and trying new restaurants. On an annual couples trip with our friend group, Christine asked Willie on a walk back to their room, ‘What do you think about Theresa marrying us?’ Willie emphatically agreed. Theresa has the biggest heart, loves love and was an obvious choice to wed Willie and Christine.
