Carolyn & Daniel
Wedding Party
Sylvia Lyons
Mother of the Bride
What can I say? She's my mom and one of my favorite people! She raised me to be who I am today and I will always be grateful. Thank you Mam for adopting me, always caring for me, supporting my decisions, and giving me so much love! 🖤 Care
Abby Lyons
Flower Girl
Abby is my favorite (and only) niece! I am so happy to have her in my life. She has the most energetic and vivacious spirit ever. Watching her grow has been so much fun and I love being Auntie Care! Love you so much Abby!
Jennifer Hatch
Mother of the Groom
This amazing and beautiful lady is my mother Jennifer! My momma, as I call her, has been the best mom I could have ever asked for growing up. She's always loved me unconditionally and guided me, kicked me in the butt to get me moving mainly (heehee), but everything she's ever done for and said to me has always been out of love and I wouldn't be the man I am today without one of my heroes, momma. I'm so very thankful for her and her Husband (my Stepfather) Vance and every ounce of every kind of support you gave and give me. Hey, momma, I picked a good one, finally! I love you so much!
Vance Hatch
Stepfather of the Groom
This guy is the best thing to ever happen to my mother, except me of course. Kidding! Vance has been nothing but the best of stepfathers, and more importantly, a wonderful, loving, and caring husband to my mom. This man has stories for days that I love listening to. Many times I've found myself taking insight, bits of knowledge, or my favorite; word play jokes and puns that make your brain short-circuit. These are just a few things Vance has influenced for the better in my life and their number keeps growing. I love you, Vance, and I'm very thankful (and lucky) that you're my Stepfather. Sorry, not sorry about the photo selection. Haha!
Debi Bickmore
Stepmother of the Groom
This beautiful and sassy Southern Belle is my Stepmother, Debi. It's been 20 years since she and my Dad found each other, and we are all better for it! We had a rocky start, and she'd be first to tell you! But when it all comes down to it, she really breaks every mold with the way she cares about and loves my sister and me (Dad too!). Her advice through life has been invaluable to me and her influences, usually southern and proper in theme, are all for the better. From her "Mammaw Bessie-isms" to etiquette practices, I've learned and laughed at a lot. She's never faltered when it comes to having my back and loving both my sister and I in a way that I never could have dreamed. Thank you for being the best Stepmother ever, Debi. I love who I've become because of you, and so does Care!
Dan Bickmore
Father of the Groom
Dan Bickmore I (the first) is known by several names; The Captain, Captain, Voice of Vegas, Husband, etc. But most importantly, to my sister Jessica and me, he's known as my Dad. I've never met a more compassionate and understanding man when it comes to understanding people and relating to them than my Dad. He's taught me so much in how to treat other human beings with respect, and I wouldn't have the love for words or grammar and language that I do today. My Dad taught me how to treat a woman you love and respect. It's for that very reason that I've found the love of my life. I love you, Dad.
Rosie Espinoza
Bridesmaid
My closest friend for the last 6 years, Rosie is one of the people who truly knows me best. She is an amazing Mom to her beautiful daughter Rianna, who I have had the privilege to watch grow up. Rosie is incredible at facing hard situations with instant solutions and a good laugh. She has been a rock to me and I never hesitate to follow her advice. Thanks for everything, I love you Rosie!
Jillian Stone
Bridesmaid
Jillian, affectionately nicknamed Jilly-Bean, was my 1st friend in unfamiliar territory. I am so grateful that we bonded that first day of boarding school. We've never let go since, no matter how far we are! I spent college laughing, dancing, & creating with Bean. We have so many inside jokes, I've lost count. Thanks Bean for always being a phone call away & our wonderful memories! I love you!
Alice Buenrostro
Bridesmaid
I used to be a Starbucks addict and Alice was my favorite barista! Every day I'd get my coffee & have a chat with her. We so naturally became friends that is was incredible. She has the best smile and a go-getter attitude that is inspiring to me. Thank you Alice for our "I-need-a-girlfriend" talks and all of our fun the past couple years, I love you!
Solomon McRann
Best Man
This guy is who you meet on an impromptu "9 hour turn around trip to Vegas" from Hesperia in a hookah bar named Serenity inside of the Stratosphere tower. Solomon, or The Jester as I knew him back in 2006, has been a best and truest of true friend ever since that life-perspective altering night. We've lived, worked, built, and even breathed fire together. Yes, you read that correctly. We don't always live close by, but no matter what life throws us, we remain brothers. A little over a year ago, Sol and his awesome wife (Also an amazing friend of mine!) Ann named me godfather of their now 1 year old beautiful daughter, Avalynn. After every adventure we've had I can honestly think of no other person I'd rather have backing me up when I do something I never thought I'd do. Love you, brother.
Max Ferrell
Groomsman
Max is the guy I, along with many others, turn to for advice, camaraderie, and good music. He's the guy you call when you're having trouble wrapping your head around an obscure social concept or deep life lesson. He's also the guy you call when you want to laugh your hardest and get a taste of a seriously infectious laugh, or if you want to do some serious work shooting some zombies in the face! Max is just one of the best friends I have or could ever ask for. I've worked with his fiance, Kelsey, at The Whole House Fan Co. for about the last year now and am excited to start the next season this Spring! Max, here's to our continued growth in friendship, family, love, and business.
Jason Hendershot
Groomsman
What can I say about our heavily tattooed, and oftentimes obnoxious but extremely kindhearted, friend Jason? Since day 1 of our relationship (Care and I) he's been there to witness some important moments in our lives. Beyond that, he's been advocate number one of our relationship many times on my behalf. We love to share life stories and each take something away, be it a lesson or a bit of a different perspective, that's relatable. It's never a dull conversation with Jason. I'm honored to have you by my side, Brother.
