Melinda & Kingsley
Wedding Party
Renee Browning
Matron of Honor
Renee is my Matron of Honor. She's my little sister and one of my closest friends. We've been there for each other through everything and I'm so glad she has taken on this big role for my wedding day! My sister is always there for me whenever I need her (as long as McKenna doesn't have her phone lol). Don't get me wrong, it wasn't always sunshine and rainbows with us as I'm sure most people understand growing up with siblings, but the older we have gotten, the more we have grown together as well! The amount of laughs we have had as well as the tears that have fallen have only brought us closer.
Corbett Seneca
Best Man
Everyone meet Corbett. As you can tell from this picture, Corbett is definitely the life of the party. He has been by our sides for a while now and we both agreed that he absolutely deserved the title of Best Man. Corbett is one of the most genuine people we know and he is always there to lend a hand if needed.
Susan Ornowski
Bridesmaid
Susan has been my absolute best friend since middle school. Though we went out separate ways after high school, we have always remained close. We are always that one phone call away whenever either of us need anything. I couldn't imagine celebrating this day without her by my side.
Benji Woodbury
Groomsman
Ben has been one of King's friends since before I came into the picture. They actually went to college together but didn't actually become friends until they both started working at the CCC. When I first came into the picture, I was told that I had to sleep on the couch because Ben had rights to Kingsley's bed. Clearly that didn't last long as Ben got the boot to the couch.
Brooke Nephew
Bridesmaid
Brooke has been the big sister I never had. She welcomed me into the family with open arms and I could not ask for a better extra sister. Through the many concerts and even vacations, our bond has grown stronger by the day. I am so thankful she accepted the opportunity to be a part of my wedding day!
Zach Browning
Groomsman
While we have known Zach for a short period of time, he never ceases to surprise us with the content that comes out of his mouth. Be aware, if there's a microphone around, karaoke is a must with this guy. His voice is a mix between Jesus and Fergie. Truly the songbird of our generation. Zach never fails to bring a smile to our faces. He will never back down from a dare- especially if money is involved.
Molly Nephew
Bridesmaid
Molly has been such an incredible part of my life now that Kingsley and I have been together. She always has a smile on her face and can quote movies all day long. She is an incredible mother to her baby girl and I cannot wait to see her grow even more! Molly is always doing something. I rarely ever see the girl sit down and I only wish I had that kind of motivation.
Greg Jimerson
Groomsman
This guy right here has been a close friend of Kingsley's since the CCC days. They met working for the building and have been friends ever since. Greg is a humorous fella who is there when we need him. Many nights have been spent by the campfire having deep conversations about anything and everything. Sometimes these conversations turn real theoretical and wild, but it keeps it fun. We are very grateful that he accepted our offer to stand beside King on our wedding day.
Maddy Richardson
Bridesmaid
Maddy has also been with my family for only a short amount of time, but she has made my brother so incredibly happy which in turn makes me happy. I had the privilege of standing by her side when she said "I do" to my brother so it was only natural to ask her to do the same for me :)
Shawn Richardson
Groomsman
Shawn is the typical middle child in our family. Growing up, as long as Renee wasn't around, we got along. Add the third child in and it was not a pretty sight lol. Once we started getting older, we became closer. One of my proudest moments of my brother was seeing him be accepted into the Corrections Academy and graduating from it. I was there to cheer him on the entire time, and I'm so glad he's part of the wedding party to cheer me on while I am saying "I do."
Aleah Redeye
Junior Bridesmaid
Aleah, I have watched you grow for the last 7 years into an incredible young lady. I am so thrilled you accepted my invite to be a junior bridesmaid for uncle and me. You have such an amazing personality. I am blessed and proud to say that I have been there to watch you grow up for as long as I have and I can't wait to keep cheering you on. Uncle and I both love you so much.
McKenna Browning
Flower Girl
McKenna is who made me an aunt officially. This little 4 year old has the personality of a teenager. She always has something to say no matter the situation. My little Frozen loving queen will make a beautiful flower girl and I can't wait to see her help our other littlest flower girl down the aisle for us.
Zayne Browning
Ring Bearer
Zayner is by far the sweetest, most loving little guy ever. He gives the best hugs and he loves everyone. His love for animals is apparent in how he is always trying to snuggle his Hazey.
Daevi Nephew-Codair
Flower Girl
The newest addition to our family, Daevi is the highlight of the party on the Nephew side of the family. She's the cutest little nugget going.
Miles Richardson
Ring Bearer
Miles was a blessing from my brother and sister in law. He's the sweetest baby and I really never see him fuss or get upset. He's such a happy little love and his smiles are adorable.
Jaimye Kelly
Officiant
Jaimye (G to all of us) has been such an angel to me since day one. She welcomed me into her home on Christmas Eve for the first time with such open and loving arms. G has been so kind to me and never fails to remind me that she loves me. We knew that she was the one we wanted to marry us. When we asked her, we got her a couple of Christmas gifts this past Christmas, and had her open a card first. It was a scratch off card asking if she would do us the greatest honor and marry us into our happily ever after. She was so touched and surprised. We knew we chose the right person to perform this task right then and there.
