Elizabeth & Christian
Wedding Party
Melanie Vaughn
Mother of the Bride
When God brought me to this earth, He knew you would be my perfect Mother. There is something so pure of a mother and daughter relationship, a bond that is so close, even when so far away. A hero when you need her, and a shoulder to cry on when you feel you cant take another step. You have always been there for me, and will always be the most incredible mom.
Michele Hardy
Mother of the Groom
A mother of two, and a mother to all. Michele is someone who you love as soon as you meet her. She is sarcastic, hilarious, a hard worker, and the most caring mother you could meet. She is a beautiful soul inside and out, and never skips an opportunity to put others first. It is truly a blessing to have her in our lives.
Lewis Duncan
Father of the Bride
"Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad." You have shown me what it is to come from adversity, and be all of the better for it. You continue to help me grow as a person, and as the woman I am. I may not have been so stubborn if it were not for you, but I also may have never persisted on reaching my dreams, and believing they were all possible!
Joe Hardy
Father of the Groom
A man who sets his own limits, who always works hard, and can light up a room. You can never go anywhere and someone not know Joe Hardy. He taught Christian to be the man he is today, prideful, confident, with a lot of humor. Through many tough times and trials, he has always kept his faith and lead his family in that way. He is strong willed, and he loves his family so deeply. It is truly an honor to become a Hardy.
Liz Kargel-Duncan
Matron of Honor
Step Mom, and one of the best friends I could have asked for! Liz is the person who will give you all of her knowledge, and never be afraid to share it. She will research any problems you have, and give you all of the best answers. She is only a phone call away, and is always giving the best conversations! She is reliable, kind, and deeply loves those around her. She also knows how to throw a great party!
Nehemiah Putnam
Best Man
Nehi has been a best friend to Christian for a long time. All the way from the outer banks, to Lewistown, Pennsylvania. He has always been there to be apart of the crazy adventures. He is married to the beautiful bridesmaid, Mia. Nehi has the most interesting taste in music, and always has a smile on his face. He loves going on a run, but never runs away from being a great friend!
Megan Duncan
Bridesmaid
First my sister, forever one of my best friends. Megan is one of the kindest souls you could ever meet. She cares deeply about her friends, and will never let you down. She is smart and an incredibly hard worker. While we may have fought when we were kids, our relationship has only gotten stronger as we have aged. Like grapes on a vine, getting better with time!
Henry Nguyen
Groomsman
Henry has been a friend of both the bride and groom for many years. Meeting through good ol' Olive Garden, it has truly brought about one of the most real friendships to exists. Henry is one of those people who you can go to when you need a best friend, but also when you want to have a good time! He loves playing golf, videogames, as well as drinking coffee at Panera! He is one of those people who will always stick around, and will never let you down!
Mia Putnam
Bridesmaid
Mia, a beautiful soul and a spunky personality! Mia is a great time, with a lot of sunshine. She is the wife of the Best Man. Though we have only known Mia for a couple years, she has quickly become apart of the family. She will brighten your day with her smile! A beautiful person inside and out!
Jacob Mclean
Groomsman
Jacob is a friend who you never want to lose. Serving his country, and supporting his family, he is truly an incredible person. Jacob loves to golf and has the best sense of humor. He has always been a phone call away, and will give great advice when you need it. He is truly a man of his word, a man of honor, and we could not be more proud to have him in our wedding.
Kayla Wettstein
Bridesmaid
She is the sister to the groom, and the best time to be around! While it was strongly debated if Christian could have her as his best man, Lizzy won the battle for her to be a bridesmaid. If you are looking for the belly aching laughs, she is your gal. There is never a silent room when she is near, and the conversations will be enlightening. She is the mother of the beautiful flower girl, Ainsley, and married to the groomsman, Devin. She truly is a beautiful person inside and out, and we could not do this day without her by our side.
Devin Wettstein
Groomsman
Devin is a charming individual who loves his family with his whole heart. He is the husband of the bridesmaid, Kayla, and is the dad to the two beautiful babies; Ainsley and Grayson. He spends his time working hard, and if not at work, then working hard being the best dad to his two kids. Devin has been a friend of the bride and groom for some time now, no surprise, we all met at Olive Garden. Watching Devin grow from a quiet and shy individual, to a blossoming, confident man has been a blessing in itself. We are so proud to have you in our lives and in our wedding!
AdriOna Vaughn
Junior Bridesmaid
When Ona was born, there was no denying an immediate connection with her and the bride. Easily becoming best friends from the start, she was a little mini-me for many years. She has quickly become her own person, a very strong-willed, and independent young lady. Ona knows how to make anyone laugh, and never will leave you with a boring or dull moment. She is proud and confident in who she is, and that truly shines through when she is doing things she loves. She is a beautiful person, and her sisters bestie forever.
Nathan Flores
Groomsman
Nate has quickly become a friend to us and to many. He has a great personality, with a welcoming smile. He wishes he could keep up with Christian in golf, and is always up for the challenge! He proudly serves our country, and we could not be more grateful to have him in our wedding!
Janessa Duncan
Junior Bridesmaid
Lizzy's baby sister! You are bright and vibrant. You know how to make anyone smile with your sweet personality. You never forget to show me all of your monster trucks, and squish mellows! You are so smart and have the best smile! It is an honor to have you stand up with us on our special day!
Kevin Vaughn
Step Dad of the Bride
Kevin is one of those people who when he enters your life, you know it is a blessing from God. He cares so deeply about his family and friends, he would never upset a fly. In the times when love and support were needed, you have always been there. He helped the bride to grow in her faith, and has shown her so much truth. He has been in the brides life since I was 10 years old, and she could not be more proud to have him walk her down the isle, along side her dad, for this very special day.
Ainsley Wettstein
Flower Girl
Sweet sweet girl. You are full of the most personality we have ever seen in a child! You command the attention the moment you walk into a room. You have the brightest smile, and have the sweetest laugh. You truly are a perfect niece, and we cannot wait for you to walk down the isle with us!
