"Steve and I used to light things on fire a lot, we shot fireworks at each other and when we grew up it really helped solidify our friendship.

Dennis Copley
Father of the Groom
Dennis Copley, Is there much more to say? The man the myth the legend. Known since 97', legend since the 60s "His advise may come with sarcasm and probably doubt in half of my ideas, but I genuinely cannot fathom putting up with the types of children he has, and he does it well. He puts up with a lot because all 3 of his kids are firecrackers and he's either OK with that or just stopped caring at this point. Regardless, He is a hell of a man to have grown up wanting to emulate his ideals and family oriented spirit. "I can't put enough words on paper to say how grateful I am to have been raised by my dad. He is an amazing role model both for family and for my job. We talk about anything under the stars and I don't care if he judges me, because I know he loves me at the end of the day. Thank you for sharing in this special moment pops. I love you!" - Luke
Kristine (Teen) Copley
Mother of the Groom
My momma bear "This woman is the OG Lady, the Senator from Star Wars, and I'm happy she is able to share me with one other. Growing up she would say 'you don't need a girlfriend I'm the only woman you should care about' well that was when I was striking out trying to get Brook Shields to date me (we share the same birthday). Now all she says is 'When are you going to give me grand kids?'. Long story short, my mom has always been there for me, has set a high standard for me when choosing a life partner and I thank her for always challenging me and making sure I am fighting for the right things. She is an inspiration, a role model, and a beautiful woman that I am happy to call 'Mom'." - Luke
