The Wightman Family
Our I-Do Crew
Jon Szekely
Father of the Bride
This is my dad! Let's start by saying that I'm so grateful for my parents. I was placed with them when I was 5 months old and was legally adopted by them at 4-years-old. They're the only parents I've ever known and I'm so glad we are finally having this wedding so he can walk me down the aisle and have a dance with me!
Melissa Szekely
Mother of the Bride
This is my mom! Let's start by saying that I'm so grateful for my parents. I was placed with them when I was 5 months old and was legally adopted by them at 4-years-old. They're the only parents I've ever known and I'm so glad we are finally having this wedding so we can all celebrate Chandler & I being married!

Jill Evert
Maid of Honor
Jill & I met freshman year of high school in the cafeteria. She was talking to one of my friends from my grade school and I sat down next to her. The story has more details and she may or may not tell that during her speech (lol) but I then realized she was in choir like I was. We were in choir together all 4 years of high school. We haven't sang together in person in 11 years and we are so excited to do this at the wedding for y'all!
Nicholas Wightman
Best Man

Rita Wightman
Bridesmaid
Rita is our sister-in-law and she is married to Chandler's older brother, Nicholas. They have 3 beautiful children and I'm so excited to have her in the wedding party! Again, I'm sure she will tell this story during her speech as well, but I met her before I actually met Chandler. I'll leave it at that and let her do the details :) She's one of my best friends and I'm so glad she gets to come back to this venue for our day!

Tania Kneynsberg
Bridesmaid
Tania & I have known each other since we were 4! We were in pre-school together! K-8th we were at different schools but continued to still see each other through softball and church! High school came and we were reunited as our schools went to the same high school. We have been friends for 28 years. We went from kids, teens, adults, wives & mommy's together! She is also Aubrey's Godmother because honestly I couldn't think of anyone better! She's one of my best friends and I'm so glad she's in TX now so she can come be in this wedding!

Tammy Fears
Bridesmaid
Chandler & I have been friends with Tammy for 6 years now! We met when Chandler wanted to join a motorcycle club. We were in that for a few years together and stayed friends after we all left. We have had numerous Halloween & Christmas parties as well as Ren Faires together! She is a really great friend of ours and we are so glad that she will be a part of our day together!
Donald Barbour
Groomsman
Chandler & I have also been friends with Don for 6 years. He was in the motorcycle club as well and that is how we started hanging out. He's been a great friend of ours and we have had a lot of fun going to karaoke with him and our other friends! We are so happy he gets to be a part of our special day!
Aubrey Szekely
Junior Bridesmaid
Aubrey is our daughter! She was only 1 1/2 year old when Chandler & I started dating. He has helped raise her as his own and she really adores him. They have a really special bond and it's grown over the last 8 years. They have gone on motorcycle rides together and that is their special thing. He's been there for all of her major milestones and for that I'm grateful. Since we have waited so long to do this wedding, she is now old enough to be a junior bridesmmaid :)
Amelia Wightman
Junior Bridesmaid
Amelia is our niece! She is Nicholas & Rita's oldest child and oldest daughter. Rita & I basically raised them as twins as they are only 20 days apart (Aubrey being older) and they had a constant friend at family parties and get togethers. They both have grown up so much and we are happy to have her as our second junior bridesmaid along with Aubrey!
Carson Weems
Junior Groomsman
Carson is our nephew! He is Sarah's son. I met him when he was 3 almost 4 years old. We hung out a lot at family parties & when Chandler used to live there as well. He's got a love for Halloween & he's grown up so much. He will be standing up there with us and we are so happy to have him there as our junior groomsman along with his cousins!
Charlotte Wightman
Flower Girl
Charlotte is our niece! She is Nicholas & Rita's daughter! Charlotte is a few years younger than her sister & Aubrey but they always are a trio when they are together! She's also my first niece that was born after I came into the family! She has a love for Cosmic donuts when she stays with us and I'm pretty sure that's the only reason she does! So glad she will be our flower girl!
David Fears
Officiant
Chandler & I have been friends with David for 6 years! They met when Chandler wanted to join a motorcycle club! We have stayed friends after we both have left the club and have had many Halloween parties, Christmas parties & Ren Faires together as well. David actually was the one who signed our marriage license back in 2019 and he has officiated a wedding of our mutual friends so it only made sense to ask him to do ours too!
