Wedding Party
Stephanie Heath
Daughter of the Bride
Stephanie is Christy's oldest daughter and will join her sister on her mother's side of the alter. Peppie is an entrepreneur, combining her marketing degree and passions for dance and graphic design to run many small businesses in Longview. All her sisters look up to their badass big sis and Jon & Christy couldn't be prouder of her big brains and even bigger work ethic.
Caitlin Weaver
Daughter of the Bride
Caitlin is Christy's youngest daughter and will join her sister on her mother's side of the alter. She is a fabulous work-from-home mother to her son, Andre, and was recently promoted to Supervisor of her team. Caity is the first of the kids to make her parents a "Grammy & Grumpy." The family is so proud of her and adore her unique mind and big heart.
Jesirae Kesler
Daughter of the Groom
Jesirae is Jon's oldest daughter and will join her sister on her father's side at the alter. Jesirae is a professional theatre kid, working parttime at Kerrville's community theatre and performing as often as she can. Her voice for justice, empathic spirit, and insistence on being weird are a testament to the unconditional love and acceptance of her parents and the values they instilled and modeled.
Shelby Kesler
Daughter of the Groom
Shelby is Jon's youngest daughter and will join her sister on her father's side of the alter. Like her sister, Shelby inherited her dad's passion for performing and works as a theatre teacher in Big Sandy. Her success in her field can be attributed to her hard work and the strong will her parents gave her the freedom to develop. She also works as a DJ for the family business, Two Dane's Productions. The family is full of pride for her fierce commitment to everyone and everything she loves.
Jon Blake "Bubba" Kesler
Son of the Groom
Jon Blake is Jon's only son and will be escorted down by Len Harris alongside Christy to help "give her away." Bubba takes after his father in his love of loud music and flashing lights. He's the best bear hugger you'll ever meet and hearing his giggle is a sure fire way to put a smile on the whole family's faces.
Len Harris
Presenter of the Bride
Len is Christy's longtime best friend and shares the honor of escorting her down the aisle with the couple's son, Jon Blake. Len stands in place of Christy's beloved late father, CR Evans. The family honors his memory along with that of Christy's mother, Bonnie Evans, and sister, Denise Evans. Though their absence is felt deeply, we know they are with us in spirit.

With Us in Spirit
Our beloved Meme, Pawpaw, & Aunt Niecy
Bonnie Evans departed this life in 2017. Meme lives on in her daughter's fiery spirit and her fried chicken recipe, which Christy has perfected... almost. Denise Evans passed on in 2019. Aunt Niecy lives on in our laughter and resilience which she embodied until the end. CR Evans joined his wife and daughter in Heaven in 2021. Pawpaw lives on in his favorite jokes and stories which we now tell for him.
