Wedding Party
Kait Gable
Matron of Honor
Kait is Sam's cousin and best friend. They have made some amazing memories throughout the years: trips to Newport, wine and paint nights and countless movie nights. There's no one Sam would rather have standing next to her on her wedding day!
Izaia Valentin
Best Man
Izaia is Rae's only brother, they grew up together with a closeness and a bond that only brothers could know. From Izaia's sense of humor to his golden heart, he is truly the one person on earth who best understands who Rae is. From playing with power rangers to godzilla toys together, to watching goosebumps with their mom, all of the most cherished moments of their childhood were spent as one.
Ayana Valentin
Bridesmaid
Ayana is Rae's eldest sibling. From the time Rae was a young child Ayana has always been there to show him love and cherish him as only a big sister could. Rae looked up to her with pride and admiration, so excited to have a sibling who could teach him things and take care of him. Ayana reminds Rae of his mother at times, as she's constantly looking her best and she takes such good care of her children. She is truly a shining example of what a mother should be.
Pedro Valentin
Groomsman/Father of the Groom
There aren't enough words that could ever truly express the undying and all encompassing love that Rae feels for his father. As a young child, Rae was ever by his fathers side, as most young boys are. It was always the best part of his Saturday mornings to wake up at 6 AM and go to work with his father. Rae followed him everywhere joyfully, happy just to be with him. When Rae was 12 years old, his mother Christina was taken from this world. Most men would break under such a crushing loss, and thus fail to be there properly for their children. Not so with Pedro, he stepped up and made sure that his children had a caring, attentive, involved, loving, heavy worded and kind hearted father to raise them, who always made sure to express to them just how proud he is to call them his children. Today it gives Rae no greater joy than to follow in his fathers footsteps as a professional barber, and even more so as a father to his own daughter Christina. He can always look to his own fathers shining example on how to raise his baby girl, and he knows he can forever count on him to be there to be the greatest Papa in the world to her. There aren't enough words to express just how much I love you Dad.
Olivia LeFort
Bridesmaid
Sam and Liv have been best friends since they were 8 years old. Soon after meeting their relationship went from a friendship to a sisterhood. The many disagreements and competitions throughout their childhood has only made their relationship today stronger!
Andrew Farnsworth
Groomsman
Andrew is Sam's brother and one of the people closest to her. They constantly "read each other's minds" and know each other inside and out. Rae and Andrew have gotten to become good friends throughout Sam and Rae's relationship and love being goofy together. Christina loves being silly with her "Uncy Andy!"
Natalie Jameson
Bridesmaid
Natalie is Olivia's younger sister and has also been one of Sam's best friends since she was 8 years old. The three of them grew up inseparable. While Sam and Liv bickered as most sisters do, Nattie worked hard to keep the peace. Natalie has always been the glue that has held the sisterhood together! Even though she lives halfway across the country, nothing could break the bond they have!
Josh Farnsworth
Groomsman
Josh is Sam's youngest brother and is super protective of his big sister. It was hard for him to believe any man would be good enough for his sister, but over time he learned that Rae was perfect for her. Sam, Rae, and her brothers love playing games together and were just recently brave enough to try playing Monopoly again (ask Josh for the story). Josh has truly embraced Christina and is her proud "Uncle Frompy."
Gui Gui Fell
Bridesmaid
Gui Gui and Sam have known each other for years through their church, but the past two years they have become super close. Gui Gui gives the best advice and is so fun to be around! Her and her husband Chris have been a great support to Rae and Sam throughout their relationship. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't even be together! They introduced us and invited us both over for the game night that changed our lives.
Christina Elizabeth Valentin
Flower Girl
Christina is Rae's daughter, friends and family call her Chrissy. No amount of words could ever truly describe Chrissy, but she is a beautiful, caring and intelligent young lady with a motherly nature. She is a social butterfly who is eager to make friends and forever be the life of the party. Christina is passionate about both dance and song and she's also quite the athlete. Family and Religion are the focal points of Christina's life. Count on Christina to nurture other children and always make sure that those she loves know they are so. She's playful, brilliant, independent, kindhearted, goofy and overall genuine. No child could ever be a better fit for Samantha and Rae. Christina was instantly drawn to Sam and cannot wait to officially call her her stepmother.
Jace Gable
Ring Bearer
Jace is Kait's son, making him Sam's second cousin. Sam has been super close to Jace and has watched him grow into an amazing boy! Jace has been embraced by Christina as her "little cuz" and they clicked right from the start. We're so happy that they have each other to play with and that they will grow up together!
Christopher Jenkins
Ring Bearer
Christopher is Rae's nephew, friends and family call him CJ. He is a very bright very kind young man, with a creative mind, a respectful demeanor and a playful soul. Christina and CJ are the truest examples of pure cousin love. When they're together its as if a tornado of fun and laughter rips through the house. No amount of distance could ever extinguish the fires of their love for one another or sever the bond that they have woven between them.
