Chelsea & Dylan
Wedding Party
Kitti Tabish
Maid of Honor
Chelsea met Kitti & her husband Shakeel (see: Groomsmen) in Florida in 2018, and they have been inseparable ever since. Kitti is an architect slash wellness guru from Hungary. Kitti was actually the photographer for our engagement pictures! If you like the Save the Date's, you have her to thank (;
Stephanie Adam
Bridesmaid
Steph and Chelsea quickly became close while working together at Archways in Fort Lauderdale. Stephanie worked in the pharmacy but welcomed Chelsea with open arms from day 1. She was always a friendly face! Chelsea and Steph stayed close over the years and continue to be fiery Aries partners in crime. Steph actually played a major role in convincing Chelsea that Dylan liked her, and to let him out of the friend zone! She attended their first unofficial date when Dylan visited Florida in 2021. Stephanie is a quality assurance professional in the pharmacy world and an all around bad@$$ chick, as well as Mama to 2 sweet pups, Smoky and Bentley.
Delali Gnidote
Bridesmaid
Chelsea met Delali in 2018 through the same mutual friend as she did Kitti and Shakeel! Delali currently lives in Phoenix, but she and Chelsea still find ways to see each other as often as possible. They have travelled together to Hawaii and even Bali! Delali is a data analysis, gym girl, and general boss b!!#$.
Caroline Reilly (Heard)
Bridesmaid
Care is Chelsea's soon-to-be new sister in law, current fiance to Spencer (wifey 3/21/26), and generally the best bonus sister a girl could ask for. She is in the process of earning her doctorate in Sociology at UCLA, where she will continue on to professorship. She is an athlete and a nerd, and one of the sweetest humans you'll ever meet. She disarmed me the first day I met her, and Spencer is one lucky dude!
Lauren Reed
Bridesmaid
Chelsea met Lauren in 2014 when starting the MSW program at University of Memphis. She was immediately the friendliest, silliest person in the room, and I don't think classes had even started yet before we were inseparable. She is a School Social Worker in 901, an advocate, a creative genius and hobby photographer and Mom to 2 of my favorite doggos, Makaveli and Sigmund!
Jessica Ganey
Bridesmaid
Chelsea also met Jessica in the MSW program in 2014! Jess is a school counselor in Memphis as well as a bird loving trauma-informed yoga instructor. She brought Neal into our lives and is the proud Mama to Olivia Ganey, and fur babies Rudy and Charles.
Shadeau Rhodes
Bridesmaid
Shadeau and Chelsea go all the way back to Keystone Elementary also!! Some of my favorite memories include grooving to the Backstreet Boys at sleepovers and watching Ghost Hunters with Shadeau. Shadeau and Chelsea ended up enrolling in the same grad program at U of M at the same time, without knowing it! She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, wifey to Torey Rhodes, and mom to a snake, some chickens, and two doggos.
Robert Wood
Best Man
Robert is Dylan's buddy from the Spartan days, and a fellow J-Club member! Robert is a talented welder and a fellow IT guy, proud boyfriend to Kiyana, and cat dad to Leon & AP.
Brian Racer
Groomsman
Dylan and Brian were roomies and jam buddies once upon a time!
Shakeel Tabish
Groomsman
Shakeel is the husband of bridesmaid Kitti Tabish. Chelsea first met Shakeel and Kitti in Florida in 2018, and in the coming years they became very close. Shakeel and Dylan first met in March 2022 shortly after Dylan and Chet started dating at Okeechobee Festival, and they immediately nerded out over their shared love of physics and space as well as music. Shakeel is a neurologist who was born in Pakistan, but outside of work he is just a cool guy who loves music and good conversation! :)
Brandon Stoker
Officiant
Bran is Dylan’s cousin & lifelong friend. Proudly, he will also be marrying us! Bran is the beloved husband of Kait Stoker and Dad to Michael, Colton, & Lincoln Stoker (who lovingly refer to Dylan as Uncle Doodie… it’s a long story 😂). He is an officer in the U.S. Army but in his free time enjoys hanging out with his family, going to concerts, surfing, diving, and fixing classic cars. Dylan was lucky enough to hang out with Bran and Kait when they were first dating!
Juju Spadafora
Flower Girl
Juju is our favorite little flower child, daughter of Dylan’s cousin Jess!
Harrison Fort
Ring Bearer
Harrison is Dylan’s first and only nephew, son of Rachel Ellison. He loves cars, monster trucks, and legos (currently). Proud brother to Ginger (doggo).
Camryn Heard
Ring Bearer
Camryn Heard is Chelsea & Spencer’s littlest brother, a tiny mess of cuteness! He is 3 going on 13 and currently loves playgrounds, Disney playhouse, and pretty much anything he can get into.
