Crystal & Nazary
Wedding Party
Kristen
Officiant
Kristen is the reason this union is even taking place. She is a mutual friend to Nazary and Crystal whom neither of them knew they shared. She set them up, unbeknownst to them, seeing the compatibility in them before they could see it themselves. She has been their number one fan, rooting for their success since the beginning. In addition, she is alwasy there to offer advice and console them, both individually and as a couple. With her unbiased input, she has become a wonderful support system for them both. And she somehow finds the time even with 3 active kids running around. She literally is SUPERWOMAN! Fun fact: Kristen got ordained for the sole purpose of marrying them. She performed the ceremony in September and she will be by their sides this June to do it again.
Tanya
Matron of Honor
Tanya is one of Crystal's longest and best friends. They met when Crystal was 19 at a toga party. Tanya needed a toga and Crystal had a killer one. And that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Life has changed drastically for the two of them and with being a wife, mom to 2 humans and 2 fur-babies, an entrepreneur, and running a business full time, Tanya doesn't get much time to spend with friends, but she always makes the people she loves feel like a priority in any way she can. She's a force to be reckoned with.
Joe
Best Man
Joe and Nazary have been friends since 5th grade (way back in the cheese falling days). He has always been a positive influence in Naz's life. His personality is infectious and having him around consistently livens things up. He is always in a good mood and up for a good time. He loves to travel and spends most of his weekends hitting up new breweries with his long-time girlfriend, Kyle and their chihuahua, Lola.
Destiny
Bridesmaid
Destiny is the bride's older sister (by 8 years). She is kind-hearted, supportive, and loyal. Destiny and Crystal have an extremely tight knit relationship; she practically raised Crystal. Destiny has been by her side through all of the trials and triumphs in her life. They are best friends. She is also a fantastic mother to 4 beautiful daughters and a rambunctious son, ranging in age from 3 to 26! One of the best things about Destiny is her eteranally positive spirit. No matter what obstacle she faces, she never lets it stop her from reaching her goals.
Arno
Groomsman
Naz has known Arno since middle school (shortly after the cheese falling days). One of Naz's favorite things about Arno is how intelligent he is, often engaging in philosphically and astronomically related topics. That shit's deep son! In recent years, their freindship has been strengthened by more quality time spent together. Arno is a part of their Electric Forest crew PURPLE AF! which has also been a bonding experience for them.
Brandy
Bridesmaid
Brandy and Crystal have known each other for about 7 years, but have gotten much closer over the past 4 years. Brandy also has a long history with the groom. It's a wonder Crystal and Nazary didn't cross paths sooner. Brandy is authentic, honest, and fiercely loyal. She always keeps it real and is the funniest person in the room. Everything is an adventure with her. She lives for a good bath. She loves rescuing animals, Netflix and chill, and TACOS, TACOS, TACOS-the way to her heart. Brandy is also a PURPLE AF! crew member.
Mike
Groomsman
Mike is Crystal's older brother by 5 years. He is a naturally positive person and doesn't really ever let anything get him down. He is fun, charismatic, and always has a good time. He has an 8 year old son, Owen. Seeing him become a father and be so good at it is one of the highlights of Crystal's life. Nazary and Mike have grown close over the last 4 years and Nazary is happy to have him by his side on his wedding day.
Ally
Bridesmaid
Ally and Crystal met through Brandy. They have a lot in common and forged a friendship pretty quickly. Ally has a child-like way about her that always keeps any situation light-hearted and fun. However, she is equally good at offering an ear for listening and a shoulder to cry on. She has become a staple in the Billings/Teliatynskyj household and a good friend to both the bride and groom.
Vanessa
Groomswoman
Vanessa (Ally's wife) also came into Nazary & Crystal's lives because of Brandy. It started with a couple girls' days and grew into a friendship from there. Vanessa is stoic, quiet, and reserved. And she is kind, caring, and fun. Vanessa and Nazary worked together briefly and during that time, grew closer. She has proven to be a very good friend.
Owen
Jr. Groomsman/Ring Security
Owen, the bride's nephew, is ring security. He is a typical 8 year old. He loves hover boarding, Fortnite, and flossing (the dance, not dental hygiene). He is silly and funny and loves to sing.
Lyla
Coordinator
Lyla is a friend of the bride's who will be acting in the capacity of day-of-coordinator. They felt it important to include her here so that you would know who to turn to in the event that you need any assistance or questions answered that day. Lyla is a sweet and charismatic mother with a heart of gold. She has been talking Crystal off the ledge with regards to every obstacle wedding planning has to offer and her eternal optimism has been invaluable throughout this process.
