Wedding Party
Courtney Morrow
Maid of Honor
Courtney is synonymous with Supermom. There isn't anything this woman can't accomplish, and she does it with patience and grace. Over a decade of solid friendship and a soul connection like no other. There is a gravity with this woman that anyone who knows her feels. You can't help but want to be near her. Whether I am laughing until I am crying, or I am crying until I am laughing, she is right there by my side. I am truly blessed to be a part of her life and her family. ~Lesley
Sarah Perry
Bridesmaid
Sista Sista! Nothing comes closer than my Sarah. I found her when I was a lost teenager searching for some direction, searching for someone to help me navigate the rough terrain after high-school and before you find yourself. She was there. And she has been there ever step of the way. There is no amount of truth Sarah won't give or love she won't supply. There are so many moments in my life that would have turned out much differently if it weren't for her; grateful would be an understatement. ~Lesley
Lydia McKenzie
Bridesmaid
Lydia and I became such good friends that I made it a point to be her coworker and annoy her even more than I already did :) When you go through life, you find who the solid friends are. The ones who make the effort, the ones who appreciate you just as much as you do them. This could not be more true than with this gal right here. To say she has literally saved my life would not be exaggerating. I could not be more thankful for her ever present friendship and willing to be by my side no matter how deep the waters. ~Lesley
Candice Laccetti
Bridesmaid
I find myself asking where this woman finds her strength quite often. A mother of six and headstrong career woman who finds the time to put in the hours at work and still make it to her daughter's softball games. I take notes when I can because I am constantly in awe of how Candi juggles her days and sacrifices herself. She puts just as much energy into her friends and for that I am forever grateful. Our lives crossed by fate and there are so many reasons why I am blessed to have her close to my heart and close to my home. ~Lesley
Jamie Cook
Bridesmaid
Even in our 30's this girl makes me feel 22 all over again. There is no other person who knows my past and what it felt like to go through what I did like this gal right here. Our friendship was solidified by our love for cocoa puffs and Justin Timberlake and we have never looked back. Jamie and I have helped each other through each step of the parenting ladder has always been there for comfort and support. Looking back on our years of cruising with music blaring to cautiously driving with our girls singing Disney songs, it's hard to not smile from ear to ear. Thank you for always bringing the fun my Jamie! ~Lesley
Ashley Ewbank
Bridesmaid
Years and years ago I sat behind this gal at a softball game and envied her beauty and thought that she had to have a horrible personality to be that pretty... NOPE! Ashley is truly one of the sweetest most selfless individuals I have had the pleasure to not only meet, but become partners in crime with. Hummus and wine nights became a staple in our early twenties and thank goodness because Lord knows we wouldn't have survived the roads of finding ourselves without each other and our deep love for each other and our kiddos. Through every milestone, big or small, Ashley has been behind me. Giving me words of encouragement or slaps of stupidity. I could always count on her for truth and comfort... mixed with wine and hummus :) ~Lesley
Sarah Jacobs
Bridesmaid
"My Wifey" The one lady who makes better cinnamon rolls than I do! Everyone in their life needs a Sarah. Someone who just brightens up the darkest of moods. Whose words of comfort hold weight and always follows up with something to make you giggle. Not too many people out there have the ability to fit you like a glove and this lady definitely fit right in my life and made it a whole lot better. She allowed me to escape to her home and breath out the stress of my earlier years and I truly don't think she knows what a blessing she was and still is. ~Lesley
Rochelle Rocha
Bridesmaid
My right hand. My go to! They say you spend more time with the people you work with than the people you live with. Thank goodness I get to spend my days with this lady. Smart, silly, down to earth and has my back to no end. Fate brought her into my office fully knowing we needed each other. Kismet I believe some call it. In the short time we've known each other, we caught up on decades of stories and know each other better than most. I admire this woman's strength and ability to get from A to B no matter how challenging the trip is and I pray that just some of that courageousness rubs off on me. ~Lesley
Charles
Ring Bearer
You're looking at a future ninja warrior! This little man is as tough as they come, but you'd never know it when he hugs you non stop and looks after Lilly as if they were betrothed. Charles steals just about anyone's heart with his hilarious wit and killer dance moves. Watching him grow into the young man he is has been a true joy. Watching him beat Brandon on Madden is even better! Dilly Dilly little man, Dilly Dilly! ~Lesley
Lilly
Flower Girl
My sweet little Lilly. Believe when I say she will steal the show :) Lilly is infectious and thank goodness for that. She has a way of making anyone smile: family, friends, strangers in the checkout line... you name it. She has grown into the most wonderful of little girls with dreams of being a ballerina astronaut! There were pieces of me that I had no clue I was missing until she came along and I will forever be grateful for being blessed with this beautiful soul. ~Mommy
Jay Reames
Best Man
Brandon and Jay are two peas in a pod. Whether they are playing corn-hole or ganging up on me and Lydia, they are always on each other's side. Jay showed Brandon true friendship in a time when he was feeling lost. You seem to find the best people in those circumstances. The one's who not only lift you up, but make sure you still find the funny in life. Jay will always find the funny! Don't let his over 6 foot stature fool you, he is the biggest kid and we love him for it. In a world full of adulting, trust me, you need a Jay. But when Jay isn't making the room laugh, he is working hard to take care of his family. That includes his friends. With Jay, there is no difference. Once Jay has your back, he will never let go. We love you Gump! ~Lesley
Robert Morrow
Groomsman
Rugged, tough, mountain man and sillier than you could possibly imagine! Robert and Brandon hit it off right off the bat. Hard to not become best friends with a man who makes his own blow torch. Rob has a unique sense of self in that no matter the occasion, no matter the time of day or night, he will break into song. This is one of mine and Brandon's most favorite qualities of this man. Truth is, his voice is golden and his musical talent is raw and emotional and we are all blessed that we get to see a silly side to his voice every now and then. Rob's silliness is only out-shined by his love for his family and friends. Once you are in his circle, he will protect and love you for the rest of his life. Here's to hoping he sings one for us on our special day! ~Lesley
Ben Perry
Groomsman
Ben adopted the role of big brother and took it straight to his heart. Including having the "you hurt her, I hurt you" talk with Brandon. Once the brother legalities were through, he and Brandon hit it off. Bon-fires and family events made sure there was no end to our laughing fits and story telling. There are people in this world that fit like family. Nothing is truer than the Perrys. Ben strives to make sure his family and friends are taken care of not only in the physical, but the emotional. You will find yourself wrapped in a bear-hug and before you know it, all the stress and worry you may have been feeling is gone. I can thank his wife Sarah for finding this man and bringing him into our lives. As Lilly says, "gosh I love uncle Ben." ~Lesley
Joe Laccetti
Groomsman
Mr. Family Man! An inspiration really! Brandon and I find ourselves basking at his ability to relate to all six of his children and maintain that level of best friend mixed with responsible parent. Joe's wit and subtle sense of humor makes him all the more fun to be around. Joe and Candice are our traveling partners and if you're stuck in a car for four hours, you want this man in there with you! He has a way of making even the most common of tasks hilarious and I know both Brandon and I have laugh wrinkles solidified on our faces from this man. ~Lesley
Phillip Flud
Groomsman
Phillip and Brandon are brothers, and the stories I've heard over the years are enough to me make thank my lucky stars I didn't have brothers and that camera phones came after my generation! These two were trouble! But the best kind of ruff-and-tumble trouble. Phillip is now enlisted in our U.S. Navy and has served for over 6 years. That alone is enough to respect this man. However, Phillip is also a family man with a beautiful wife, two little girls and a bundle on the way. He will be joining us on our special day via skype as his lovely wife will be about ready to have their third child. As much as we would love to have him here, his responsibilities and duties always come first. I think I can speak for all when I say, you will be missed here, but we thank you for you service! ~Lesley
Richard Bernal
Groomsman
Gosh we love Rich! Can always count on this man right here! Whether he is helping Brandon get into the welder's union or taking care of his beautiful family, Rich is as solid as they come. This guy knows mine and Brandon's struggle and never holds it against us. Rather he is right there with us, sympathizing and knowing we are all out here trying to make it. This man puts in long hours and weekends to make sure he and his family are on top and Brandon and I are nothing short of inspired by him. ~Lesley
Andre Diaz
Groomsman
Once you stop being intimidated by his cage fighter size, you'll find he is the softest of teddy-bears! This man found my Ashley (bridesmaid) and we could not be more pleased! Not only did he fit her, he fit everyone! The kiddos, her family and even her crazy batch of friends like us. He is a family first type of guy who makes sure his career is also on top and motivates just about everyone around him. It truly is hard not to feel inspired by this man. Not to mention our little outings are always heightened by Andre's hilarity and of course his cooking!!! ~Lesley
