Wedding Party

Chelsea & John

The Bride & Groom

Mark Burton

Best Man

Mark met John on April 9, 1986. Yup! He's John's dad and best man. Fun fact: John's Grandfather was Mark's best man at his wedding to the lovely Linda. It was a no brainer for John when it came time to choose a best man. John looks up to his father in every way imaginable. Look closely and you'll see the unshakeable resemblance in both their looks and mannerism.

Sarah White

Matron of Honor

Sarah has been in Chelsea's life since 2006. They attended high school together and have faced many of life's ups and downs together. Chelsea served as Maid of Honor in Sarah's wedding to her wonderful husband Andre in 2015 and is auntie/god mother to Sarah's two wonderful boys, Dawson and Rhys. Chelsea is so excited for Sarah to be by her side on her wedding day.

Brooke Love

Maid of Honor

Chelsea and Brooke met in 2011 working at Halsey's restaurant in Geneva, NY where Chelsea was attending college and close by to where Brooke grew up. Their friendship stood the test of time, adventures, and many different hair colors. Brooke has seen Chelsea at her worst points in life and Chelsea is so excited that she also gets to stand by her side while she's at one of her best points in life.

Karli Elizabeth

Bridesmaid

Karli is Chelsea's big sister by about 6 years. Fun fact: the night Chelsea was born, Karli slept walked over to the crib waiting for Chelsea and stood over it in the middle of the night. Their dad woke up to find Karli standing over the crib and directed her back to bed. A few hours later, Chelsea's mom went into labor. Karli predicted Chelsea's arrival! Chelsea loves Karli's four children, Edyn, Levi, Mattie, and Sawyer!

Jamie Maloney

Bridesmaid

Jamie is Chelsea's little sister by a little less than 2 years. Fun fact: Jamie and Chelsea grew up in similar social circles because they were so close in age. Chelsea often "beat up" the boys that picked on Jamie (cause she's so damn pretty) growing up. Chelsea adores Jamie's two daughters, Ruth and Faith, and her bonus son, Kayden!

Lauren Goldney

Bridesmaid

Lauren is John's big sister by about 2.5 years. Lauren and John grew up very close and have supported one another through many of life's challenges and opportunities. Lauren has been a kind and generous light to Chelsea throughout her relationship with John, and Chelsea and John were both over joyed to get to see Lauren marry her incredible husband Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Goldney, on New Year's Eve 2023.

Meghan Morse

Bridesmaid

Meghan is Chelsea's younger cousin by about two years. Fun fact: Chelsea's sister Jamie and Meghan were born one week apart. Meghan has been more than a cousin in many ways over the years. She is a sister and a friend. Chelsea served as a bridesmaid at Meghan's wedding to her awesome husband Chris in 2021 and is excited for her to join her on her wedding day.

Emily Forrester

Officiant

Emily came into John and Chelsea's lives only a few years ago, but made a quick impact with her kind heart and joyful, fun-filled personality. John is particularly impressed with Emily's sports knowledge. One of the first times they met, Emily brought up cover 2 in a football conversation and John knew she was legit. Chelsea has been overjoyed to see the love and light Emily has brought to her best friend Brooke's life and for many other reasons, it was a no brainer to ask Emily to officiate their wedding. We are so grateful for her presence in our lives!
