Maid of Honor
My older sister has always been close by, quietly watching over her siblings, keeping the Benally family in Farmington well loved during holidays by offering her home, awesome cooking and plenty of Hallmark movies!
Groomswoman
Jessica is a fun loving, bubbly, irreverant co-worker who's one of my besties. She's always been supportive, offers great advice and keeps everything lighthearted. You'll never be bored listening to any of her stories about work, life and family.
Best Man
Joseph didn't think his brother would come much less be in the wedding party...however, Jacob did introduce us via a blind date back in January 2006, "Of course I'm coming Bro!"
Ring Bearer
Little did Cinnamon realize she'd be a participant in a future wedding of her parents...all those years ago back in September 2014 when we adopted her from the Aztec Animal Shelter. Now she thinks that all puppies get to be ringbearers as well as the subject of calendars, caricature painting, bottle caps, and a crystal cube to name a few.
Bridesmaid
My younger sister, Tina, and I have been getting into trouble together since we were kids. The more naughty things we did, the more she would say "You and your ideas!" Here's another idea, be my Bridesmaid...
Father of the Bride
Dad has been waiting for this day for the LONGEST time. He's been patient, prayerful and supportive and is now being rewarded by walking me down the aisle. I love you, Daddy!
Bride
At 53 years old, I'd pretty much given up on the idea of marriage; however, I'm marrying my best friend who knows and loves me unconditionally (even my morning hating behavior).
Groom
Also a never-been-married-no-kids person, imagine Joseph's surprise it was his idea to get married. Underneath that burly exterior is a big ol' softie who loves animals, airplanes, brewing and Netflix.
Officiant
Eli is not only marrying us, he keeps our computer related soft/hardware at home in good shape with neverending advice to help run and improve our digital experiences. And no, he doesn't always say, "Reboot".
