Ben & Chelsea
Meet Our Wedding Party
Greg Smith
Father of the Bride
The Father of the Bride and the pillar of the Smith family, Chelsea's Dad means the world to her and she wouldn't be who she is now without him speaking with wisdom and grace into her life. She's told she is exactly like him and that complement will forever radiate pride from the heart of her being.
Shelley Smith
Mother of the Bride
The mother of the Bride could not be more of a genuinely loving and selfless person. Chelsea will be walked down the isle by, not only her Father, but her Mother as well.She couldn't imagine not walking with her too, as her mother has been the example that she gleaned from to become who she is today.
David Gaona
Father of the Groom
Hardworking and always willing to go 10 extra miles for his family. If there was ever a definition of a "good man" you would find his picture next to it...if he ever took a picture that is!
Barbara Gaona
Mother of the Groom
Also known as Momma G! A wonderfully loving and caring mother. She has taught Ben to be genuine and caring, but to also stand firm in his beliefs!
Jillian Smith
Maid of Honor
Jillian is Chelsea's sister and it was a no-brainier that she would be the one to stand by her side. They have been each others best friends since the beginning.
Michael Saddekni
Best Man
One of the most important people in Ben's life. Michael and Ben met in college and became best friends as a part of "the crew". Michael, however, is best man 1 of 2.
Sean Taylor
Best Man
The other best man, but not of lesser status. Sean is the 3rd member of "the crew". Sean and Ben both studied music education in college. Even though there paths took them separate ways, they're still the best of friends!
Shawn Beebe
The Flower Dude
The Man, the Myth...The Flower Dude. 😎🌼 There is no one that could have better fit this role. Ya'll just get ready, he may just steal the show!
Caden Smith
Bridesman
Chelsea's brother is the perfect guy to shake up the bridal party! She couldn't see her wedding day without her brother standing with her too.
Victoria Kutz
Bridesmaid
Part one of the Terrific Trio -- Victoria is Chelsea's cousin and Veronica's twin, but they all are more like triplets. Victoria and Chelsea have been close all through childhood and are still close today.
Veronica Beebe
Bridesmaid
Part Two of the Trio -- Just like her sister, Veronica could be found side-by-side with Chelsea and Victoria. They're cousins, but Chelsea sees them as her best friends. She really doesn't know what she would do without them in her life.
Taylor Trent
Bridesmaid
Taylor is is Chelsea's oldest cousin on her maternal side. Taylor and Chelsea were each others first best friends and even though they live apart, Chelsea couldn't see her wedding day without her standing with her!
Peyton Trent
Bridesmaid
Peyton is the next lovely addition to the bridal party! She is also Chelsea's cousin and Taylor's sister. Adding her to the line of Chelsea's girls makes the party perfectly picked!
Abby Perry
Bridesmaid
Abby is another one of Chelsea's closest cousins and has actually lived the closest to her as well in Kentucky. She is the perfect free-spirited and courageous addition to the bridal party!
Kaylin Barrett
Bridesman
The youngest and radest addition to the team! Kaylin rounds off the bridal party and brings the comedy everywhere he goes! Chelsea couldn't imagine him not being there for the big day.
Tyler Odom
Groomsman
Tyler is one of Ben's oldest friends. Both attended the same university and community college to study music. Both formed a flag football team with Tommy, it did not go well. Both like to play golf and at the same time are bad at it.
Tommy Kutz
Groomsman
Tommy and Ben met while Tommy was teaching percussion as West Nassau High School. Played flag football with Tyler and Ben. Again, being very bad at it in the process. Tommy has cemented himself as a pat of Ben's life. He is also married to Victoria, one of the bridesmaids, so we will technically be family!
Luke Diaz
Groomsman
Luke holds the title for being Ben's longest known friend. Luke and Ben attended St. Augustine High School together where they were both in band. Luke has been a part of Ben's life for many years, and many more to come!
Jason Duckett
Groomsman
In many ways Jason has had the most profound impact on Ben's life. Jason and Ben both teach band at Bartram Trail High School. Ben did his student teaching under Jason and ever since have become good colleagues and close friends. Both enjoy watching Jaguars football and Icemen Hockey!
Dave Gaona
Groomsman
Dave is Ben's older brother. Dave knows Ben better than anyone else, which means he knows how to push his buttons! When choosing groomsmen, it was a no brainer that Dave would be selected!
