Wedding Planner
She's organized, crafty and patient. So it made sense to have the Bride's cousin help on our special day. Besides she's family so, she'll be able to handle all anything.
Officiant
When we bought our house, our first thought was we hope the neighbors are cool. Turns out they are the coolest. Krissi is like family to us, so it was only natural to ask if she'd help us tie the knot.
Usher
The Bride always said if she was going to marry she wanted her father to walk her down the aisle. After his passing in 2016, the Bride's brother volunteered to give her away and take on that role. Pretty safe to say the Bride's father would be pretty proud of him.
Matron of Honor
The Bride and Amanda started out as co workers and abided by Amanda's strick rule of work collegues are not friends.....couple years later and no longer coworkers it was on! Amanda has been with the Bride through many life events and is always only a phone call away. The Bride and Amanda are certainly 2 peas in a pod.
Bridesmaid
Melissa and the Bride worked together and her love of craft beer and a good time meant they were destined to be good friends. She's the only person who knows all the best happy hour deals and even better the bartenders ;). The Bride can be wild and crazy and Melissa is right there filling up the glasses......watch out Nashville you're in for a "long weekend".
Bridesmaid
Melissa and the Bride worked together on an inpatient hopice unit. The days were long and emotionally draining, but somehow the two became close and the days weren't that bad. Melissa or as the Bride calls her Rizzolo, is the Bride's own personal body guard. Don't let her petite frame fool you, her Italian sass comes out quick, especially if you're the car dealer trying to get one over. RIzzolo is full of life, love and empathy. She too has been a part of some of the Bride's darkest days and helped guide her through some rough times. So much love for you Rizzolo! I still owe pops a drive in the Camaro!
Bridesmaid
The Bride and Georgia started as coworkers and quickly became friends. Georgia has been by the Bride's side for many sad moments, but many more fun, loving and uplifting moments throughtout their friendship. When the Bride needed her most she was and still is only a phone call away. Georgia left a date to be by the Bride's side, that is frienship on a whole other level. They've laughed, loved, ran and cried together, pretty sure neither would change one minute. She is loved like family and not only by just the bride.
Grandmother of the Bride
The woman who fine tuned what the Bride's mother taught her and reminded her "You are a Southern Lady, now act like it". Needless to say, she taught the Bride about cooking and baking. She is always ready for a little adventure and has always supported the Bride even if it was not her brightest moments. She's still holding out on one family recipe......maybe that will be the wedding gift :).
Mother of the Bride
The woman who taught the Bride to be resilisant, fierce and independent. She makes a mean chocolate chip cookie, which the Bride inherited how to make :). The Bride and her mother don't always agree on things and that is ok, because the Bride knows she can always call mom no matter the reason for the call and no matter the time of day, mom will pick up.
Mother of the Groom
The Groom would not have made it thus far without his mother. Relentless in her support and encouragement for the Groom during the entirety of his life. Her sacrifice and love helped shaped the man getting married.
Father of the Groom
One could not ask for a better father than Fran. Marrying the Mother of the Groom with two mischievous children was quite a leap of faith. He always encouraged the development of the Groom and would not let him settle for mediocre. Fran’s guidance and advice throughout the Groom’s life has enabled the Groom to be the man that he has become.
Groomsman
The Groom has known Matt for his entire life, he is the younger brother so that makes sense. Very excited to have Matt as a member of the wedding party!
Groomsman
Many, many, many great times have been shared between the Groom and Brian. Best friends for a of couple decades. Time flies when you’re having fun. Thank you for continuing to be a part of our lives.
Best Man
He has known the Groom his whole life! They have shared many great experiences, some not so great, but brothers stick together. The Groom is very proud of his older brother and is very excited for his brother to be the Best Man!!
Groomsman
Neighbor to the Bride and Groom. Always up for late night shennigans. He's taught Greg A LOT about life on the water, some of it actually sank in. We truly are the luckiest people to have neighbors who are practically family. But we are still not friends (joke).
