Wedding Party
Scott Chatham
Father of the Bride
Scott, my father and the father of the bride, has a humor that I both understand and don't at the same time. His quirky jokes and antics have filled our lives with laughter and left me wondering how someone can be so wonderfully weird. No matter how much I may puzzle over his humor, there's one thing I'm absolutely certain of—I'll always be my daddy's little girl. Dad, your love, guidance, and the moments we've shared have shaped who I am today. As I take this step into a new chapter of my life, I carry with me the love, laughter and biblical foundation you've given me. Thank you, Dad, for being the loving and unique father that you are. I'm honored to have you as my father and as a part of this special day. - Abby
Heather Chatham
Mother of the Bride
Heather isn't just my mother; she's my best friend, my confidant, and the unwavering presence that has guided me through life's twists and turns. From movie nights to heart-to-heart talks, she's been there every step of the way. She's not just the "mother of the bride"; she's my rock, my mentor, and my source of boundless love and support. Momma, you've been my best friend and my mom all in one, and I can't express how grateful I am to have you in my life. As I embark on this new chapter, I carry your wisdom, love, and friendship with me. Thank you, Momma, for being the extraordinary mother and best friend that you are. You are my guiding star, and I'm honored to share this special day with you. - Abby
Grace Parsons
Maid of Honor
Ten years ago, Grace and I couldn't have been more different, and we didn't quite see eye to eye. But God had different plans for us. Today, I can't imagine my life without her in it. Our journey from acquaintances to inseparable friends has been nothing short of remarkable. Grace has been there through every twist and turn, transforming from someone I barely knew into my best friend.

His humor and camaraderie are what this world needs. I’m thankful for the laughter and countless gaming memories we've created together. - Bennett
