Wedding Party
Jessica Colleen
Bridesmaid
Sister to the bride, Jessica is a family loving, essential oil connoisseur who dreams of opening a tea and coffee shop that all the Westmoreland sister's want to join in on one day. Jessica hopes to offer people alternative choices to traditional medicine through natural wellness and is one of the most generous people whom we are all blessed to have. The biggest deal of all is that she is the baby mama to Shantel's first niece, Atarah!, and wife to the brother Greg.
Austin Alexander
Groomsman
Favorite younger brother to the Groom, Austin has gotten quite the reputation recently as being a respectable young man. He resides in Tampa, FL where he works for the Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County. In his spare time he has been known to record some epic hip-hop tracks.
Melissa Rose
Bridesmaid
Shantel's sister, she is her favorite athlete and a world famous chef (in all our eyes anyway) among an array of many other amicable qualities! Melissa is known as the Beauty and Beast for the way she conquers the track and field, she's just your everyday Amazon don't you know! She has an infectious smile and dedication to whatever is presented to her that makes the world a better place.
JR Wilson
Groomsman
JR and Kevin first met back at the age of 13 when skating was life. Things have changed quite a bit since then, but the friendship remains the same. JR has become a family man with his wife Michele, son Johnny, and newborn Riley. He works as a Driver/Engineer for the West Palm Beach Fire Department, so if things were to get a little heated at the reception, he'll be the the first one to cool it off.
McKenzie Joy
Bridesmaid
A sister to be reckoned with, she has an appetite for life that spurs her to ride horses better and more bravely than her older sisters, plays soccer with great talent, runs faster and farther than most, dances with spirit and loves with a great warm heart. She encapsulates the best of Shantel, Jessica and Melissa and she will probably move mountains in her lifetime.
Brandon Sooy
Groomsman
As one of the Grooms oldest friends, Brandon and Kevin grew up just a few houses away down a dirt road in Jupiter Farms where they used to ride bikes. A few years later, Brandon had moved to Wilmington, North Carolina and it just so happened to be 2 hours away from where Kevin was stationed in the Army. Needless to say, some good times were had. Brandon still lives in NC and still is an avid cyclist, working in the industry.
Laurel Alexander
Bridesmaid
Sister to Kevin and old friend and new sister to Shantel. Laurel served in the youth group that the Westmoreland's and Alexander's first met. She has the gift of song and is an amazing wife and awesome mother to the ring barer, Declan (aka lil D).
Stephen "Moose" Poskitt
Groomsman
Moose, a name in which his parents bestowed upon him at a young age, is a fantastic Bro. He is one of the kindest and most genuine guys you could ever meet. Moose and Kevin first met in High School and have since had many memorable experiences together. If you ever need a subject matter expert on Health Care Fraud, he's your guy.
Mantissa Johnston
Bridesmaid
Cousin and pseudo-sister to Shantel, they grew up thousands of miles apart but have the wealthiest of memories: sharing the best medicine, laughter, dancing nights into dawns, exploring white sand deserts as children and walking the colorful streets of San Francisco as 20 something year-olds. Mantissa is as brilliant as she is beautiful!
Greg Gabert
Groomsman
Brother-in-law to the Bride (and now Groom), Brother Greg is a Saint. He has taken on the Westmoreland girls full time for many years since he married Jess back in 2009. He also is a car aficionado and great father to Atarah.
Courtney Cleveland
Bridesmaid
The bride's longest running friend and first international travel companion. Shantel and Courtney have know each other from the tender age of five in their cute Daisy uniforms. Shantel's fondest memories with Courtney were made in the old countries of England, France and Spain where they experienced many unique and wonderful surprises along the cobbled stone way! No matter where life took them they always remained tethered together.
