Wedding Party
Monica Veldman
Officiant
Kalli's little (taller) sister who holds the honor of officiating the wedding. She has lived in Washington, D.C., for over 10 years and works as the Director of Global Regulatory Policy at the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine. She enjoys a good cocktail, pasta of any kind, and wide leg pants
Roland White
Ring Bearer
Roland is the son of Nick's sister Amanda and brother in law Nick. He's an outdoor-loving adventure seeker always ready to keep you on your toes! When he's not in the swimming pool or on the swingset, he's loving on his Lolli and Pop Pop (...or seeking out Mexican food).
Lynn and Jon Veldman
Parents of the Bride
Kalli's parents currently reside in Lakewood Ranch (Bradenton), Florida and enjoy playing tennis, golfing, pickleball and frequenting the tropical "Bahama Bar". Lynn continues to work with her charity "ICAN - Indian Children's Angel Network" in Maharashtra, India to help create sponsorships for the less fortunate orphaned children from the Red Light District. Jon continues to have one foot into traveling the country (and world) with his consulting and the other foot into retirement.
Jean and Mark Watkins
Parents of the Groom
Jean and Mark live in Finksburg, Maryland. Jean continues to work as a special educator with a focus in early childhood development. Mark worked in the Commercial Landscape industry and recently semi-retired to pursue the dream of operating his own landscape business. They enjoy spending time with family and friends and especially adore time with their grandson, Roland. They also take pleasure relaxing at the Delaware shore at the beach house, in South Bethany Beach.
Amanda and Nick White
Sister and Brother In Law of Groom
Nick and Amanda live in New Freedom, PA and have been married for seven years. They met in the nursing field and continue working as nurses today. They are the parents of Nicks nephew Roland and love finding new experiences and places to explore outdoors.
Ninja
Man of Honor
Ninja currently lives rent-free in Florida and wishes he could be present to experience the beauty of the Algarve. He requests that Lynn & Jon bring back fresh sardines from the wedding. Until then, he can be found lounging in the FL sunshine, hunting geckos and taking licks from the saltwater hot tub.
