Deanna & Chris
Wedding Party
Charlene Kendall
Mother of the Bride
The women who gave me life; I am forever grateful. My mom is a very wonderful, caring, funny, and smart person. Our relationship has developed into a very special bond over the years. She is always there to listen, give me advice, cheer me on, and support me. She is always willing to help me in any way that she can. We share the same sense of humor, love for all animals, interest in nature and adventures. Without her, I literally do not know what I would do. She made me who I am today, and I'm so thankful that I get to call her "Mom."
Shirley Kendall
Grandmother / Mom
My grandmother or "Mom," is very special to me. She's been there along with my mother since day 1. She helped raise me as if I was her own daughter. She is always there for me when I need her. She is loving, down-to-earth, funny and always put others need before her own. She's helped me through some of my darkest days, and was there to help me celebrate all my accomplishments, no matter how small or big. She is a good listener when I need one, and whenever I am sick, she always comes through with a little care-package.
Earl Kendall
Father of the Bride
My grandfather or " Dad," as I call him, is the best Dad I could've asked for. Not only did he raise me as his own daughter, he loved me unconditionally. He worked hard long days to make sure we always had food on the table. I loved being with him as much as I could when I was younger and of course still do to this day. But boy, did I have him wrapped around my little finger as a child. He is always supportive of me and my decisions, he's been there through it all, good and bad. He has stuck by me no matter what. He taught me a lot about, love, family, life; the world. He is my rock, and I am blessed to be able to call him "Dad."
Krystal McGrath
Maid of Honor
Krystal is one of my best friends. We met during middle school, but our relationship didn't really blossom until about the end of High School. Since then we have been on many adventures together. We've road tripped to a Zoo in New Jersey; Down to Georgia for Halloween to visit her family; many Six Flags trips, including the one where my car basically died halfway there. ~ That was fun! :) She has always been there for me, to listen to me, give advice and help me.
Melissa Medbery
Bridesmaid
Melissa is my cousin, and my very first best friend! We spend almost all our childhood together. Sleepovers, playing Bust - a - Move, with our snacks and Capri Suns on a blanket bed in the living room. We made sandcastles, and mudpies, and fought over whose was better, which usually ended up in one or both of us covered in sand. We definitely kept our parents on their toes! I am truly grateful to have her in my life, she is smart, caring and always helps me when I need it.
Crystal Kertyzak
Bridesmaid
Crystal is also one of my best friends! Even though we've been miles and miles apart, and don't talk as much as we should, the bond we share will always remain. We were introduced by Krystal and hit it off right away! We were all always together with our little circle, enjoying life, and figuring it all out together when we were young. We attended many concerts together, enjoyed countless walks, and even climbed a mountain in New Hampshire to watch the Solar Eclipse with our friend Kevin as well! She is smart, adventurous, and I am so happy she will be with me to share this special chapter of my life, and hopefully many more!
Donna McGowan
Mother of the Groom
This women is literally a Saint! She is so sweet, and welcomed me into the family from day one with warm and open arms. She is funny, loving, adventurous, and an absolute delight! She is always supportive, and a great listener! We've gone on adventures together, and explored beautiful parts of some states I never thought I'd get to see. I am truly grateful for the memories we've made together and I look forward to making more. Thank you for being a big part of my life.
William McGowan
Father of the Groom
This guy right here, has a great sense of humor. He is very smart, generous, has a hard work ethic and very supportive. We've spent a lot of time together on family trips, and he is a blast to be with! Always has the best spots to visit and the most beautiful places to see. He's not only raised an incredible family, but he also welcomed me into his with open arms. The love and respect he has goes above and beyond.
