Marguerite & James
Wedding Party
Marguerite
Bride
I’m Marguerite—mom to my little whirlwind duo, Emory and Stetson, firefighter/paramedic, and lucky enough to call Jimmy my partner-in-crime for the last seven years. We started as friends, survived the friendzone, built a life full of laughter, love, and a little chaos, and now we get to officially become a family in this amazing new chapter. Our hearts are bursting as we celebrate our love, our kiddos, and everyone who’s been part of our crazy, beautiful journey together.
Jimmy
Groom
Jimmy is my rock, my partner-in-crime, and the guy who keeps our little whirlwind family safe—always. Strong, loving, steady, and somehow effortlessly funny, he has a masterful hand at everything he tries (but let’s be honest, he’s undefeated in arm wrestling). From starting as friends and surviving the friendzone to building a life full of laughter, love, and raw, organic moments, Jimmy has been my safe place and my adventure all in one. I can’t wait to officially call him my husband and continue this crazy, beautiful ride together.
Emory
Flower Girl
Emory, my beautiful, kind-hearted little fashionista, is our flower girl. She’s got her own ‘stylee’ flair and never fails to turn heads with her outfits and confidence. Emory brings so much sparkle, sass, and sweetness wherever she goes, and I can’t wait for her to strut her stuff down the aisle sprinkling petals along the way!
Stetson
Ring Bearer
Stetson, our ring bearer, is our bubba with the biggest energy and the sweetest heart. He’s my little lover boy and a total head-turner! Always full of love and on the move, he might just have to make his grand entrance down the aisle in a monster truck—or maybe even a fire truck!—because why not make it as fun as he is? I couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle without my boy leading the way.
Jim
Father of the Bride
My daddy, you are the roughest, toughest-looking man with the softest, warmest teddy bear heart. Caring, strong, and steady, you’ve always been a role model of love and faith. I cherish the bond we share, one that continues through my kids. And, of course, your impeccable taste in music has always been a soundtrack to our lives, from quiet moments at home to family road trips. I’m so grateful to have you by my side on this special day, and I can’t wait for the moment you walk me down the aisle.
Jean-Marie
Mother of the Bride
My mama bear, my rock, my soul, my heart. The woman I cherish every single day for raising me and shaping me into the woman—and mama—I am today. Her unwavering love, guidance, and strength have been my foundation through every high and low. She taught me how to love fiercely, live boldly, and always find joy in the little things. Without her, I would be forever lost. I’m beyond grateful to have her by my side as I step into this amazing new chapter of my life, celebrating love, family, and the legacy of all she has given me.
Jim
Father of the Groom
Jim, you may be a man of few words, but you are the foundation of the Francis family, and it shows in the incredible legacy you’ve created. You are caring, kind, and one heck of a welder. Most importantly, you’ve raised such strong, amazing men, and I’m forever grateful for the strength, character, and sense of family you’ve instilled in the man I’m lucky to call my husband.
Jessica
Mother of the Groom
My mother-in-law is the ultimate garden girl—fun, nurturing, and full of life! She brings beauty, laughter, and love wherever she goes, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this special day. Her spirit and warmth make every moment brighter, and I couldn’t imagine celebrating without her.
James
Officiant
James is Jimmy’s cousin, but in every way that matters, he’s more like a brother. When James moved here as a kid, the two became inseparable—growing up side by side, getting into their fair share of mischief, building (and occasionally destroying) cars, and tearing up the town through their teenage and young adult years. Their bond has only grown stronger with time, rooted in loyalty, shared memories, and a whole lot of laughter. Having James officiate our ceremony is incredibly special to us, and we couldn’t imagine anyone better to stand with us as we start this next chapter.
Lissa
Matron of Honor
Lissa is my rock—the sister I never had but always needed. She’s my voice of reason when life gets loud, my constant source of mama support, and a role model in every way. Whether it’s an honest heart-to-heart, a spontaneous road trip, a new tattoo or piercing, or just coffee and good food—she’s always down. She’s my ride-or-die and my anchor in every season.
Matt
FunBearer
My brother—the one who showed me how to be tough and keep up with the boys. You may not have wanted a pink blanket, but you definitely helped raise one tough sister with all your roughhousing over the years! You’re the fun uncle, and honestly, one of the most fun people to be around. Your energy, laughter, and jokes make everything better. I’m so grateful to have you by my side in life and in this amazing new chapter. Love you, big bro!
Taylor
Bridesmaid
Taylor is my little mama and truly my first baby! Watching her grow into such an amazing young woman has been one of the greatest joys of being her Aunt. I’ve celebrated so many of her milestones over the years, and now I’m so grateful she’ll be standing beside me for one of mine. I can’t wait to have her by my side helping me get ready to say ‘I do.
Calli
Bridesmaid
Calli is my witty, spunky, firecracker of a niece! She’s always kept me on my toes while making me laugh along the way. She’s my little mini-me and truly my daughter’s twin. Having her stand by my side means the world to me, and I can’t wait to share this special day with her.
