Gina & Dimitri
Wedding Party
Amanda
Maid of Honor
Amanda is my sister, best friend and best gift my parents ever gave me. Growing up we fought like siblings do and my parents always said "Just wait, your sister is going to be your best friend when you grow up." Luckily we did grow up and my parent's prophecy came true. Amanda is the person who probably knows me better than anyone at this point. I can tell her everything and not only that she's been through nearly everything right along with me. She's my travel buddy, my partner in wine, and up until Dimitri, my emergency contact! She always tries to be good and a giver to all know her. I don't deserve her but am happy to have her right next to me!
Gretchen
Bridesmaid
The other (former) GLS also known as Gussie. Gretchen is my soul sister from another mister. Gretchen somehow manages to be one of the kookiest, funniest people I know while also being the kindest, best friend of any one you could ever meet. In addition to always being in costume with me, she is the best listener, life secretary (she remembers my life details better than I ever could), and truly a blessing to walk this earth. Look out for her signature dance move called "t-rex arms" while on the dance floor.
Chirgs
Bridesman
I like to call him my Baldsmaid! Chirgs (given name is Andrew) was my neighbor and first friend on a street called Nieto, which I would later be ordained the Godmother of, and from which meet so many dear friends and have the time of my life. That would have never happened if Chirgs wasn't there to first invite me to everything. Since then he's always been a true-blue (or I should say "true- green" based on his Michigan State blood) friend to me; he always volunteered to be my first client in every business venture and I can still count on him for a highly inappropriate laugh. Chirgs is a ton of fun while he lasts, but he's sneaky! If you see Chirgs trying to leave the wedding early, don't let him!
Caitlin
Bridesmaid
Caitlin is my longest running friend and the girl I regard as my sister in my heart! We met when her mom put her in the pre-school my Mom ran out of our home. So it's been a long time! Caitlin grew up the baby of a big family with lots of animals, love and chaos; you can say we found a more than a few things in common.She still is my hometown girl even though she lives in Seattle, she's that person neither time nor distance can separate from my soul. Doesn't matter how long has gone by, we can always pick up where we left off and not miss a beat.
John
Best Man
Dimitri's brother, John is his best man. In addition to knowing each other for life, he serves as Dimitris mentor in all things style. Hopefully some of it will stick some day.
Ryan
Groomsman
Ryan is Dimitri's best friend from the docks. These two have been through years of hard work and jokes together. Ryan is like a big brother and mentor to Dimitri pointing him in the right direction. Dimitri looks up to him except when it comes to the 'double-up'.
Laura
Groomswoman
Laura is Dimitri's best friend since High School. Her influence, along with their friend Katie, made Dimitri datable and marriable. Dimitri and Gina are both grateful for this.
Dustin
Groomsman
Dustin is Dimitri's very good friend from way back in high school. He deserves a medal for keeping DImitri out of jail all these years and Dimitri probably owes Dustin the name of his first born.
Jasmine
Flower Girl
Jasmine is Gina's niece, her brother Todd's daughter.
Westly
Ring Bearer
Westly is Gina's nephew, Todd's son.
Everleigh
Flower Girl
Everleigh is Gina's niece, Amanda's daughter.
Madelyn
Flower Girl
Madelyn is Gina's niece, Amanda's daughter.
Todd
Officiant
Todd is Gina's brother and now friend of Dimitri. We love Todd as our officiant because of both his love for us and the importance God's love plays in his life. Being married in Christian ceremony and taking our vows that honor each other and God is important. We think Todd will do a great job!
