Bride
I am the bride! I spent many years praying for Christopher. Well, I did not pray for a man named Christopher per say but I prayed for a man like Chris. I prayed many years, and cried many Valentines to my mother about being single, and feeling unloved. My mother continued to tell me "God has his timing, something great is in the making". My father for many years continued to be my Valentines, year after year. And do not misunderstand me, my dad was a GREAT Valentine. Diamond earrings, Pandora charms, shoes, and one year a black Onyx/diamond ring. I met Chris and I knew that "he was my forever". He is the OPPOSITE of me, but together we make it work. I cannot wait to tie the knot and be his wife.
Groom
He would kill me if he saw that I posted this picture. lol Chris is kind, and patient. He is a very hard worker and is always providing for the family (bride, Max&Ruby). Chris is very smart, he is knowledgeable about movies, and TV shows, but he also knows so much about random topics as well. Chris would make a good trivia partner. I know my family has prayed that I would meet someone like Chris as well!
Matron of Honor
Erica is Kaytlyn's sister in law! Yea! She is absolutely perfect in every single way! She is exactly what God had planned for my brother and our family. I am so blessed to call her my sister.
Best Man
Coby is Chris' only brother! He is super funny and does very interesting impressions. Max and Ruby absolutely LOVE him!
Maid of Honor
Kourtney is Kaytlyn's cousin! She has been with me since birth. Literally! There is nothing that I cannot count on her for, and I know that she will always be honest and up front with me, which is why she is such a huge part of this day!
Groomsman
Thomas is Kaytlyn's older brother. Tom is someone that I have looked up to my whole life. He has always been there for me! I know that if I ever needed ANYTHING, he would be there willing to help me out. Tom always goes above and beyond for people, I think he gets that from our mother! He is the least confrontational person you will ever meet, and he is very genuine. He is someone I will always cherish. God knew what he was doing giving me him as my older brother!
Bridesmaid
Courtney is Chris' sister! We met in a Petco believe it or not! When Chris and I were dating and I had not met his family yet, she tracked down my car, and stalked me in a Petco...lol! This girl and I have our adventures for sure! I cannot wait to be her sister!
Groomsman
Riley is Kaytlyn's nephew. He will always put a smile on your face. Riley is one of the cutest kids I know and he has a heart of gold. If you ever need a good joke, or a good laugh, spend the day with him. Also, if you need your hook baited, he is your go to guy lol !
Bridesmaid
Brooke is Kaytlyn's beautiful sister! She is a little glass of sassy, smarts, and athleticism! She is going to be something great one day! I couldn't imagine this day without her!
Groomsman
Nick is Kaytlyn's youngest brother! Nick is full of love and compassion. Nick is so helpful and would do anything that is asked of him to help someone else. He is always putting others before himself! He also LOVES CHRIS...and his grandma! lol
Flower Girl
Reagan is Kaytlyn's niece! What to say about her? I do not think words can describe her at all! Reagan was such a huge blessing to the family when she was born. Man, is she loved!
Officiant
Laura is a friend of the bride. She has been with Kaytlyn since college! Laura is the daughter of the pastor of the church that Kaytlyn attended when she was in college in Kerrville, Texas. Laura led connect groups, and continued to push and challenge Kaytlyn to identify her religious goals and beliefs. Laura is someone that has been there for Kaytlyn during dark and difficult times, and someone who was there during the fun and exciting times as well. Laura and Kaytlyn are two peas in a pod, and Laura better be wearing her waterproof mascara, because she is always crying from laughter!
Reader
Meet Natalie. I was a special part of her wedding day when she married my cousin. I felt the MOST beautiful that day. I begged and begged to be the flower girl, but I was what, 14 or 15 at the time...lol. Natalie made me a bridesmaid! I was so excited and surprised that she wanted me to be a part of her day. Natalie will be a reader of a poem or a bible verse on our special day. I am not sure what she is going to read, I just asked her to pick something special for us! I know that she will not disappoint! Whatever she picks will be one of the few surprises that Chris and I have that day! We are so lucky to have Natalie in out lives! P.S. some of the decorations around the wedding and reception are from Nat! She is so creative and fun!
Realtor! (jk, well not really, but he is SO MUCH MORE)
Brandon is Kaytlyn's cousin, and yes, he is the person who sold Kaytlyn and Chris their home! lol Brandon is someone who has been around for Kaytlyn's whole life! Brandon and Kaytlyn's brother, Thomas, were like brothers growing up, so it only make sense that Brandon be the one to walk with Kaytlyn's mother down the isle! Brandon is and will always be more to Kaytlyn and Chris that a Realtor, or friend, or cousin; he will always be a brother.
Prayer Warriors
Payton and Avery are HUGE parts of the wedding and family. Payton and Avery are small glasses of cuteness, sass, and sparkle! They are sisters, but man, are they different! They are two beautiful girls, and they have spunk in their steps! Payton and Avery will be reciting the Lord's Prayer at the wedding ceremony, and we could not be more excited and blessed to share this moment with them!
