Bride
I’m the one with the “cool” last name. Also, the “coolest” of the two brides!!!😳
Bride
The second “coolest” bride!! 😘😘 Of course, Yvette wrote this portion. What she failed to mention is my nickname is "Hero" and I signed all soccer programs in college...Mary 'Hero" Howard #11 on the field...#1 in your heart. Is there anything more to say!
Flower Girl
Our beautiful rambunctious, sassy and bossy grand daughter! She will without a doubt steal the show!
Ring Bearer
This handsome fella is the son of one of Mary’s bridesmaids (Colleen). I hope he’s ready to get bossed around by Bryleigh Grace- some things never change no matter what the age!!!
Bridesman
My best guy friend who I have known since grade school. We have been great friends for most of our lives. We can go for months without talking and pick up right where we left off. He knows a lot of my secrets and stupid things I have done throughout my life and still loves me (probably because he has done the same things, or was my accomplice) LOL! Love you Rob!
Bridesmaid
Best pal since college. Former roommate. Former "Press Your Buttons" Solid Gold Dancer. Helps the elderly touch their toes without farting. Still holds the collegiate record for longest lasting perm! Keeper of many, many "Hero" secrets.
Bridesmaid
Connie was one of my very first friends when I joined the Marine Corps. She served our country for 11 years. We had so much fun and did so many crazy things. We were in California together and Japan together. She currently lives in San Diego and is helping us with some of our wedding arrangements. Love you friend!
Bridesmaid
Best pal since college. Former beer bong champion for getting as much beer as possible outside of her mouth. Restaurant owner so she can drink the profits. Mother of two beautiful girls. Good thing she does not remember most of her college days so she can’t give away too many “Hero” secrets.
Bridesmaid
Twila has been one of my best friends since High School. Always love her sense of humor. We ran track together and played basketball together throughout our high school years. I feel lucky to have these wonder peeps in my life for so long! Love my girl!
Bridesmaid
Best pal from "young" adulthood- not sure if I have left this stage of life yet? Former soccer player that I got to boss around for a few months. Always there to provide words of wisdom and encouragement such as hey buddy "never ever ever eat the yellow snow". Once proferred that she would document all of our adventures in the “Balks and Hero Fun” trilogy, but it is believed she lost the journal of documentation in a drunk canoeing accident.
Bridesmaid
FUN- that’s how you describe Gail. Never a dull moment and always up for a good time. My marine Corps pal! It’s very hard to not get in trouble with Gail! My fun, single (she told me to say that- just in case there are any cute single women at the wedding), and adorable friend. She’s one of a kind! Love and hugs!!
Bridesman
Best guy pal since high school. Yes, they did have organized schools back then. Dances like a child in a neck brace but can play some mean music on the drums. Proud veteran to serve our country. Married out of his league (his wife is hot!) and has enough kids to have his own basketball team.
Bridesman
Good buddy of both of the brides. Was once a choir boy because the there was a cute boy who signed up for choir. He is one of Arizona’s fastest men in the 10 yard dash when there is a cookie as a prize. He does actually have “some hair” left but you will never find any evidence of that because he is always seen with a hat on backwards. His significant other is a furry critter that likes to fart a lot named Cowboy.
Bridesmaid
Best pal since Veterinary school. Talks funny and can't enunciation her A's and her O's but got mad love for my Jersey Girl. Smartest girl in my Vet School class and got to share in my best and worst times. She is the mother of the ring bearer and future boyfriend of Bryleigh Grace. Give her a shot or two of Vodka and you may get to see the Jersey Shore at its finest. Proud to call her one of my best pals.
Bridesmaid
Rebecca is one of my closest friends from Oklahoma. We have laughed together, cried together, partied together, vacationed together and cheered on our wrestling son’s together and Some things I can’t list here! LOL! She can sing like she should be famous, hopefully she will have a few drinks at the rehearsal dinner and she will belt out a song or two for us . Love you friend!
Officiant
Best pal since early adulthood. We decided we could trust her to stretch the truth and say nice things about us. She is receiving payment for all compliments and loving comments. We have confidence she will not forget our names while giving our ceremonial love speech.
Honor Attendant
“Pudge” will be escorting his daughter Bryleigh Grace (flower girl) down the aisle to make sure she performs her job instead of dancing her way down the aisle and forgetting the rose petals. He will also be providing his love and support to the brides.
Honor Attendant
“Lil Love” or “Pyt” will be escorting Noah (Ring Security) to his proper location and making sure that we have rings for the wedding. He will be providing entertainment value with his charming ways, as well as love and support for the brides.
