Bride
From short-tempered to hospitality personified, Gabrielle is a beautiful rainbow of personality wrapped up into one incredible person. Since our early years into our relationship, she always encouraged me to be the best "me" that I could be; she loves to see people at their best. This woman certainly deserves me at my best - my bride-to-be is the best that I could ask for.
Groom
There is so much I could say about my fiance. A kind soul, with a contagious laugh. Jeffery is a joy to be around. I haven't met anyone who dislikes Jeffery, he is fun and so easy to be around. He is the "nice" one out of the two of us! He is easygoing and looks at the positive side of things. It's hard to be mad at someone who constantly makes you laugh! I am truly lucky to have found my perfect match.
Mother of the Bride
Gabrielle's "twin", while they constantly get mistaken for sisters, Gabrielle knows that at the end of the day, her mom is still her mom! Not afraid to mince words, Nicole is a straightforward person, but is incredibly protective of the people she cares about! Her duality is amazing! She can go from having a deep intelligible conversation to randomly breaking out into song and dance! She is so fun to be around and Gabrielle is blessed to be able to call her her mom.
Father of the Groom
Many adjectives well-describe Pops. Stern, quiet, compassionate and understanding to list a few. It may not appear so at first glance, but he's a big softie. Stern exterior with a big heart. Jeffery has nothing but adoration for Pops and is blessed to have such an amazing father in his life.
Maid of Honor
Best Friend of the Bride. Strong-willed with a heart of Gold. Gabrielle could not imagine anyone else standing by her side. One of Gabrielle's favorite traits about Marilyn is her ability to always see the good in people. She tries to see the viewpoints of both sides if trying to dispel a disagreement. She also is not afraid to tell Gabrielle when she thinks she is wrong! Marilyn truly is Gabrielle's best friend and a sister in every way that matters.
Best Man
Jeffery's closest friend since their misadventures at UL Lafayette. Brad has provided undying support for several years. Aside from being a great friend in general, his most admirable trait is his brutal honesty. Not afraid to step on toes, Brad won't hesitate to speak his mind. Thanks to this, he has been able to provide support for Jeffery and Gabrielle during their most challenging experiences.
Bridesmaid
Animal Enthusiast and J-Pop lover, Logan is a fantastic person all around. Generally, she likes to play "the fly on the wall" but will not hesitate to speak up for her friends. She's a loyal friend and Zoe (our dog) loves her Auntie!
Groomsman
Easily one of the most reliable people you could meet. Above all else, Jordan is the quickest to defend his family and friends when it comes down to it. Jordan is also responsible for introducing a few of the men selected to be groomsmen.
Bridesmaid
One of my closest friends! Olivia and I quickly became friends because they would constantly pick on each other while working at Office Depot. Olivia is definitely the little sister I never realized I desperately needed. She is smart, driven, and strong-willed. She is also so fun to go on adventures with! She definitely doesn't have a problem telling me when I'm wrong! But Olivia is also one of the kindest people I've ever met. I'm blessed to have found a sister in Olivia
Groomsman
Another friend we are most grateful to have. Whenever any event is planned, Jon is always the first to say "I'm there". That, alone, speaks volumes because that's a 1 hour commute for him to visit. Gas certainly isn't cheap but you can't put a dollar value on such a dedicated friend.
Bridesmaid
When Gabrielle thinks of Ray of Sunshine, Marlaina is the first person to come to mind. Marlaina is a person that is hard to not like. You will never catch Marlaina not smiling! While truly a nice person she is also not afraid to defend what she thinks is right. Truly an amazing person inside and out!
Groomsman
An incredibly inspirational friend, Yanik has been a driving force in pushing Jeffery to further his career path. Career influence aside, Jeffery is glad they were randomly assigned as roommates; Yanik is something of a little-big brother to him.
Bridesmaid
One of the traits that Gabrielle loves the most about Chelsea, is that no matter where they are, Chelsea will start singing whatever song is in her head. This then will cause the rest of our friends to follow suit. Chelsea is such a fun person and fiercely loyal to her friends and family. Between her beautiful smile and her matching personality, what is there not to love about Chelsea!
Groomsman
If the situation calls for it, Trey is quick to give the shirt off of his back with a smile on his face. While Trey is one of the nicest people you could meet, he sticks to his guns - he isn't easily swayed on any topic. Assured, Trey is no pushover.
Bridesmaid
During their teenage years, Gabrielle and Dannecia were introduced to each other by Dannecia's grandfather, whom Gabrielle worked with. He was convinced that Gabrielle and Dannecia would be the best of friends, and he was so right. They quickly became sisters and even though they haven't had the time to spend as much time with each other, the other knows that they are only a phone call away. Dannecia is truly an amazing person. Keenly observant and incredibly smart, Dannecia is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Groomsman
The younger brother of the bride, Nicholas has always been a brother to Jeffery too. Since the beginning of Jeffery and Gabrielle's relationship, we've had the honor of watching Nicholas grow from a teenager to a respectable young man. We're proud to have helped mold him into who he is today and we're both proud to call him our brother.
Bridesmaid
Sister of the groom. One thing that Jeffery mentioned to Gabrielle many times at the beginning of their relationship was how much she reminded him of his sister. From her interest to her sweet tooth, Gabrielle was hesitant to believe that was true. Once Gabrielle and Jennifer really got to know each other, they both saw how true that was and quickly became good friends! Gabrielle knew that she couldn't imagine getting married without Jennifer as one of her bridesmaids!
Groomsman
Jeffery's oldest friend. Although not as close as they once were in high school, Lacadric is still a valued friend and Jeffery wouldn't trade the good times they've had for anything. Lacadric's best qualities are his comedic timing and his bottomless charisma. He makes tension-breaking look so easy!
