Kelly & Terrence
Wedding Party
Chris Marion
Best Man
Chris was Terry’s first friend at University of Redlands. Somehow he managed to not be perturbed by Terry playing some highly offensive rap music in a van full of strangers as they drove to the Sierra Nevada’s for their First Year Journey trip before Freshman Year Orientation. Fast forward after freshman year, Terry and Chris (“Carl”) were roommates for the rest of college, a dumpy dorm in Anderson Hall, an off campus apartment, and a house on Campus Ave.
Megan Hiner
Maid of Honor
Megan is one of the best people you could ever have on your side through life. She was a cheerleader in high school and has taken the best qualities from the sport into everyday life. Megan is Kelly’s cousin and has been her biggest cheerleader through childhood and adulthood. Megan, being in North Carolina and Kelly in California, they somehow found a way to trick their parents into letting them live at the beach in the OBX together during the summers. They have many special and ridiculous memories from those summers spent together and have always made efforts to visit each other wherever they’ve lived. Kelly and Megan consider each other as the sisters they never had.
James Kelly
Groomsman
James is Terry’s oldest brother. Always there for him to talk about Giants football, or about why his car is making sounds or leaking fluids. Usually, he’ll go into the minutiae about what a particular car part is or does, but Terry after the last 15 years could not tell you why your car needs oil.
Amy Elinger
Bridesmaid
Amy is also Kelly’s cousin! Lucky for Kelly, Amy lives in San Francisco and they get to see each other often these days. Amy and Kelly were born one month apart and grew up pretending they were twins, always being dressed in the same outfits, and they share a strong bond from being the “pipsqueaks” of the family. Amy makes the best of any situation and is the most caring, fun and optimistic person to be around. She also loves a good charcuterie board and a heavy pour of red wine and we love that about her.
John Kelly
Groomsman
Whether it was breaking John’s RC truck, or overwriting John’s Pokemon Red gameboy games Terry was a real pleasant brother to have. Somehow they made it cross country driving a 1988 Plymouth Caravelle after Terry’s sophomore year of college, playing rap music the whole time (much to dad’s chagrin). More recently during quarantine, Terry and John have hung out to play Call of Duty Warzone.
Becca Elinger Henry
Bridesmaid
‘Scuse me, Doctor Rebecca Henry, to you! Becca is yet another lovely cousin and Amy’s older sister. Kelly grew up idolizing Becca as she always had the best hair and was way cooler than Kelly could ever be. Becca will forever be Kelly’s role model as she is the most caring, smart and an effortlessly fun person to be around.
Brett Lewis
Groomsman
Brett is Kelly’s oldest brother, and also a University of Redlands bulldog. One of these days, after enough red wine Terry will convince Brett to stop debating on the sidelines of the political theater and run for public office.
Chandler Wills
Bridesmaid
Chandler and Kelly grew up two doors down from each other! They know everything about each other's childhoods, families and have been planning each other's wedding for 20+ years now. Chandler moved to San Francisco right before Kelly did in 2016 and it is obvious that this is a life-long friendship as she has seen Kelly through all of the awkward middle school, high school and yes, even awkward adult phases. Chandler is truly a gem for sticking around through it all.
Kyle Lewis
Groomsman
Kyle is Kelly’s middle brother, and when schedules allow it Terry, Russ, and Brett try to team up and beat Kyle at his own game, golf!
Alexa Wills
Bridesmaid
Alexa also grew up two doors down from Kelly! What a coincidence! If you don’t know, Chandler and Alexa are twins so that was just a bad joke. Kelly and Alexa share many milestones together while also sharing existential crises’ leading up to important decision making moments like college majors and what to do with said major. Luckily, both decided their majors and Alexa is now finishing up graduate school to be the best Physical Therapist Kelly will ever have. If you ask Alexa what the weather is, you will get an extra dessert at the wedding. You heard it here first!
James Cahalan
Groomsman
James and Terry went to Elementary, Middle, and 25% of High School together. They walked to and from Middle School in 7th grade together too, can you imagine those conversations? Outrageous.
Veronica Fahey
Bridesmaid
Kelly met Veronica freshman year of college and they, for the most part, have been inseparable ever since. Veronica was Kelly’s partner in crime through the college years, was there through the first moments of getting to know Terry and his friends, and as you might have read in the “How We Met” section, was there when they first visited Terry in San Francisco and fell in love with the city together. So, in short - Veronica has been there through it all! We love her so much.
Greg Gelber
Groomsman
Greg and Terry were coworkers at the Summit YMCA Rockwall in high school. We were technically employees, but really we were playing basketball in the room next door until someone walked towards the rockwall.
Melissa Hernandez
Bridesmaid
Melissa is a rare breed, she is a Riverside Poly Bear AND and Redlands Bulldog. While Kelly and Melissa knew of each other in high school, their friendship really blossomed throughout college. They were roommates sophomore year and grew together through many bad decisions and late night Del Taco runs. They have many things in common, including a strong sense of humor, perfecting their procrastination skills, and always being down for an adventure. Melissa has too much blackmail on Kelly (and vice versa), so they decided to just be friends for the rest of their lives and spare everyone else the shared memories.
Steve Homen
Groomsman
Steve Homen
Natalie Clark
Bridesmaid
If you’ve come to this website by mistake looking for a dog sitter, look no further! This is where you’re meant to be. Natalie has her own dog walking/sitting business in San Francisco and is the most loving friend to dogs and humans alike. Kelly and Natalie met in their freshman year college dorm kitchen, making late night mac n’ cheese. Kelly stayed with Natalie and her mom in Sausalito while Kelly was job searching in San Francisco and meeting up with Terry during the early days of their relationship. This was honestly an instrumental part of Terry and Kelly’s relationship and she has been there, living about two miles away with her 500 dogs ever since!
Dan Barson
Groomsman
Dan also grew up in New Jersey. Originally, DB and Terry met at the Frost Valley summer camp in the Catskills. Then became good friends while at Redlands, supporting each other through a variety of hilarious scenarios. From NJ, to SoCal, to a few years overlap in the Bay Area Terry and Dan go way back.
Sofia Ziemienski
Bridesmaid
Sofia and Kelly also met in college and now live two blocks away from each other in San Francisco. How lucky! Both share being ex-volleyball players, the ‘tall girls’, nature and beer lovers. If you are lucky enough to have Sofia on your side as a friend, you don’t let that go! She has seen Terry and Kelly's relationship grow ever since the beginning moments of Kelly visiting San Francisco. Fun facts about Sofia: She has had some of the most interesting living situations in SF and makes the absolute best birthday cards.
