Allison & Nicholas
Wedding Party
Tessa Brown
Officiant of Honor
Tessa and I met in the third grade. Although I was initially suspicious of her superior artistic ability and stylish fashion, her quick wit won me over. Throughout middle and high school we stacked our schedules to be as similar as possible. As adults we’ve continued much the same. Tessa is a Sr Solutions Engineer at a technology company, GRIN. On the weekends you can see her perform improv at the Sacramento Comedy Spot!
