Emily met Susie at Cynwyd Elementary in 3rd grade. Emily was new to the school and her first impression of Susie was that she was a tomboy who always wore shorts, even if it was snowing and she hung out with boys all the time. Not much has changed! Susie, or should I say Dr. Boote, lives in Texas where Emily visited right before Chuck proposed in November 2018!

Basketball bonded them even closer, experiencing a State Title together in High School. They have lived through each other’s trials and accomplishments.

Groomsman

Groomsman
Chuck met Artise post college. They were introduced to each other by Chuck’s dad. They instantly bonded and Artise became Chuck’s “ole head” simply because he’s a lot older than him. He always has Chuck’s back and he constantly let’s him know with repeated remarks such as, “ I got you!” and “Don’t worry about it!”. Artise continues to be the older brother Chuck never had as their relationship has gotten stronger over the years.

Father of the Groom
Chuck’s dad, Big Chuck, has been the mentor and guidance behind the entire crew. His insight is called upon for all matters with nothing being truly decided without his knowledge. It’s clear and evident where Chuck gets most of his personality and his big smile. Big Chuck has been a role model of hard work but more importantly a great father to his sons. It’s goes without question that Chuck would want him apart of his big day.
