Wedding Party
Alexia Colon
Maid of Honor
Lexi and Lizzy have been best friends since high school; their friendship is still going strong after 11 years. Lexi joined the Air Force straight out of high school and was stationed in Florida where she still lives today. Despite Lexi living so far away, she has always been there for Lizzy. Whether it was to lend an ear to Lizzy’s rants or cheers a drink over FaceTime, Lexi was there. Lexi does still try to convince Lizzy to move down to Florida - I guess that's just something the Maid of Honor and Best Man have in common! Last year, Lizzy was lucky enough to be Lexi’s maid of honor for her wedding, and now she’s returning the favor.
Tyler Pratt
Best Man
Tyler is one of Chuck's closest friends. They first met when they went to high school together, but their friendship really took off when Chuck moved into the same neighborhood as Tyler. Tyler and Chuck have grown close over the last 12 years, bonding over their service in the army, their love of cars, and the struggles of adult responsibilities. Tyler does try to get Chuck to move back to Florida to run a business together - something he and the Maid of Honor have in common!
Bethany Coulter
Bridesmaid
Bethany and Lizzy have been friends since high school biology. Funny enough, Bethany and Lizzy followed very similar paths; Bethany moved to Chattanooga, TN, while Lizzy moved to Knoxville, TN. They both became nurses and have changed their jobs to caring for newborns. Bethany is taking care of them in the NICU, and Lizzy is helping deliver them in L&D. Lizzy and Bethany’s relationship has definitely grown over the last few years because of their jobs and living only 2 hours away from each other, which Lizzy is very grateful for!
Omar Bryan
Groomsman
Omar and Chuck became fast friends when they both worked on the maintenance crew down in the city of Port Saint Lucie, Florida. They would bond over work drama and day-to-day life drama. Chuck is very grateful that he became friends with Omar when he did, because even when Chuck was short-tempered and going through rough times, Omar was patient and gave him great advice. Omar has been a true friend and has helped shape Chuck into the man he is today.
Abigail Buring
Bridesmaid
Abby is one of Chuck’s nieces, but more importantly, Lizzy’s favorite future oldest niece. Abby holds a special place in Chuck's heart; she was the first niece he got to hold in his arms, and now he's seen her grow up and go off to college. Abby has grown up to be an amazing woman - she has been nothing but sweet and welcoming to Lizzy. Over the last year, Abby and Lizzy have gotten to bond over their shared love of books and crazy family drama stories.
Ryan Shelly
Groomsman
Ryan is Lizzy’s younger brother. Ryan and Lizzy are just shy of two years apart. While they fight like cats and dogs, they do love each other. Ryan is especially happy to have Chuck as another guy friend to hang out with, since sometimes hanging out with his sister is lame. We look forward to having future Harry Potter marathons and sushi nights with Ryan. We’re so excited to see Ryan outdress us all.
Claire Knowlton
Bridesmaid
Claire is one of Charlie’s nieces but more importantly Lizzy’s favorite future youngest niece. We are so grateful she’s going to be apart of our special day. She brightens every room she walks into and we know she’ll add just enough brightness to the occasion!
