Kassi & Andrew
Wedding Party
Terese Edwards
Mother of the Bride
There is so much that I could say about my amazing, beautiful mother! She is the greatest mother that I could ever ask for and she is ALWAYS there for me every day of my life, whenever I need her. She is such an inspiration to me and always pushes me to be and do my best in everything. I'm so happy and grateful that she will be one of the people walking me down the aisle and I couldn't imagine not having her by my side like she has been through everything. She inspires me to become the strong, generous, smart, kind, positive, optimistic, hardworking, and loving woman that she is.
Bruce Edwards
Father of the Bride
There is so much that I could say about Bruce and although he isn't able to physically be with us on our wedding day, he will still be with us in spirit. Bruce is so helpful, intelligent, kind-hearted, caring, and lovable. He always wanted the best for everyone and would give the shirt off his back to someone in need. He was so funny and could make anyone laugh. Bruce and I didn't have the greatest relationship at first but I grew up and realized that he was such a good man and he meant so much to me. I wanted him to walk me down the aisle and to share a father/daughter dance with him but I know he will be watching us from above and blessing our day.
Kayla Edwards
Maid of Honor
Kayla has been there for me through the good times and the bad. I know that I will always have her by my side as my sister and as a best friend. She is always so thoughtful, loving, beautiful, generous, and independent. Through all the sleepless nights staying up giggling, all the spa days we've had together, and all the time we spent playing together as kids, I never thought when we grew up she would mean this much to me and having her as my maid of honor on my wedding day means everything to me!
Betsy DeSmidt
Matron of Honor
Betsy is my wonderful sister who is always there when I need her. She's so kind, thoughtful, creative, and helpful in any situation and she has an infectiously positive personality to match her flawless beauty! I know I can always depend on Betsy to help me get through my lows and to celebrate my highs and I'm so blessed to have such an amazing, sweet, inspiring, down-to-earth, and talented sister in our family! Having her stand by my side not only on my wedding day, but in every day life makes me feel so priviledged.
Sarah Arendt
Bridesmaid
Sarah is my amazing, beautiful sister who always offers a helping hand if you need it. She's such a great mother and she has a heart of gold. She's so genuine, caring, kind, thoughtful, and she brings so much positivity to my life. Although I haven't known Sarah as long as everyone else, I feel like I've known her for years and years due to the fact that she's so laid back, non-judgemental, friendly, sweet, and just an all around good person. She means the world to me and I'm so happy to call her my sister!
Bobbi Liermann
Bridesmaid
Bobbi is my gorgeous cousin who I know always has my back. We might not always speak on a day to day basis but I know she will always be there no matter what. We have supported each other through tough times and help each other grow stronger. I know that I can talk to Bobbi about anything and having that support is such a blessing to me. I remember always painting our nails together when we were kids and always having a special bond that could never be broken!
Taylor DeSmidt
Brother of the Bride
Taylor will be assisting my mom in walking me down the aisle! I have always looked up to Taylor since I was really little. His intelligence blows my mind and I'm so extremely proud to call him my brother. He's always looked out for me, he has such a good head on his shoulders, and he's a perfect role model! I couldn't have asked for a better brother than him when we were growing up and to see the kind, compassionate, caring, hardworking man that he is today makes me feel so lucky to be his sister!
Teresa Francis
Mother of the Groom
What could I not say about my mom? She is the most hardworking, persistent, caring, beautiful mom and I have been the luckiest kid to have her as my mom all my life. She is a big reason I am who I am today as I have learned so much from her over the years. She always puts others before her, even in family photos she's always the first person to be willing to not be in it and take the picture, even if we never let her. I know it has been hard on her with me leaving our home right out of high school to pursue volleyball, but despite how hard it is on her she has never not supported me or not encouraged me to keep pursuing it. I am proud to be her son and wouldn't trade her for anyone.
Frank Francis
Father of the Groom
This man right here is one of the best things to come into my life, not only for me but for my family as well. He wasn't in our lives in the beginning but after he entered our life, our lives changed for the better significantly. He stepped into our family with nothing but love for all of us even before knowing us. He is the other big reason I am who I am today as he was my father, my friend, and my teacher when I needed one. I know he is the oldest in our household but he seriously is the biggest kid out of all of us. He is my inspiration on how to be a good man and a good father in the future, I couldn't be happier to call him my dad.
Cody Sasaki
Best Man
What to say about Cody? To start, we didn't become immediate friends when we first met but as time went on he become one of my best friends. He was the first person I met right out of high school when I left home and started playing volleyball in college as we were both on the same team. He is one the nicest and most outgoing people you will meet. We have known each other for seven years and although we are not still in the same state, he is still one of my best friends as we talk through gaming almost every day. I couldn't ask for a better best man to stand up next to me.
Ben Cecere
Groomsman
This guy! We have definitely seen our ups and downs in our friendship as there is not a single person on this earth I have known longer. In case you didn't know, we are twins, so that means I have known him nine months longer than everyone else. Yes we have had our ups and downs in our friendship but there wasn't a time where I didn't love him. He has grown up to be a hardworking, caring, and loving man that I am proud to call my brother today. I am glad that he will be able to stand by my side as one of my groomsmen.
Kevin Campbell
Groomsman
I met Kevin my second year of high school volleyball and he has been one of my best friends ever since. He is one of those friends that we could go days, months, or even years without talking and once we talk again it is like we never stopped talking. When we were in high school we spent almost every day together at school and many times after school as we were on the same team and I spent alot of time at his house raiding his fridge. At one point, it seemed as though his mom bought specific things just for me. I am definitely happy that he will be able to stand next to me on one of the biggest days of my life.
Anthony Davidson
Groomsman
I also met Anthony my second year of high school, as he became my friend the same time Kevin did because he was also on the same volleyball team as us. He too is one of those friends that we can not talk for awhile and it is like nothing changes. We were all together every day at school and many times at Kevin's house. He is one of the nicest, friendliest, and tallest people you will meet. He is really like a foot taller than me, not joking. It is safe to say my life in high school wouldn't have been the same without him. I am glad that he will be able to stand next to me, despite him making me look very short, on one of my biggest days.
