Wedding Party
Krysty Chennaux
Bride
By the Mother of the Bride: Krysty is a girly girl who will play ball in her dress and boots. Always independent with “Mommy – I DO” being her daily phrase. She has achieved much, yet all of it pales in comparison to her beautiful, sweet soul. She is authentic and kind; helping when she can. She has a sincere desire to do something special with the life God gave her. I love being her mother, but now as an adult; her friend. God answered my prayers with a sweet, funny and hardworking Tyler. The two are adorable and it is beautiful watching their love through good and bad. I pray they will assume each have positive intent when tough times come and the tough times cause them to cling together. The new will fade, but will give you an opportunity to allow your love to grow deep and wide.
Tyler Malys
Groom
By the Mother of the Groom: Tyler has an old soul. It’s easy to feel the compassion and wisdom rolling out of his soft, loving eyes. Growing up, Tyler was the man of the house, craving routine and stability. He's organized, helpful and open-minded. My years living with him were the best, and now he is building his own household. He has found a practical, intelligent partner with a beautiful mix of adventure and responsibility. They nourish each others best qualities and encourage each other through difficulties. Krysty and Bo, wear your Spouse hat as the job that it is, and never take it off. It will share space with the Parent hat or others. Being a Spouse is a fun job, and it requires effort. We celebrate you both now as individuals and as a couple, as you turn this next page together.
Tanya Malys
Maid of Honor
By the Bride: Tanya is loving, supportive, honest and an incredible supporter of Tyler and I! Her straightforward communication and sense of humor match my own and she has become an amazing friend to me. It has been a blast becoming her friend and I'm even more excited to become her sister once Tyler and I tie the knot! She is one of the toughest and most family-oriented people I have ever met. I am blessed to have her standing by my side as I promise a lifetime of love and commitment to Tyler.
Ron Reed
Best Man
By the Groom: Time has always been something that shows strength and transparency of any relationship. Even though Ron and I went our separate ways after high school, we have been able to continue where we left off years ago. When my mom and I moved to Morrison, CO. during my sixth grade in Elementary school, Ron was the first person to reach out and welcome me as a friend. He has been a strong role model in my life proving resilience through his own hardships. To this day, he remains the same in character and proves his unwillingness to change from the real friend he has always been. The miles and chapters between us have not been enough to keep us from friendship and I know if I needed help with anything, I can count on Ron to be there.
Ashley Malys
Bridesmaid
By the bride: With an intelligent mind and a caring heart, Ashley has been a key supporter of Tyler and I throughout our relationship. She is kind and compassionate with friends and family alike. Her dedication in completing her Master's Degree while working full time is inspiring for me to complete mine as well. She takes care to complete her responsibilities and maintain focus on her goals while still making her family a top priority. Although I'm still new to the crew, she welcomed me with open arms and has become a true friend in the process. It was an easy decision to ask Ashley to stand up with me as Tyler and I start the next chapter in our lives together!
Ian Laughlin
Groomsman
By the Groom: A proud and devoted husband and father, this man has proven to be as family oriented as anyone could desire. He is a strong mentor and has a selfless history of service to the United States Marine Corps. My time with Ian was spent day in and day out under his wing as an apprentice working on gas and diesel vehicles. Ian has always been a mentor to me. Whether it was about wrenching or relationships, his advice was supportive, honest, and never candy coated. He is a friend of mine that I will always look up to and respect knowing that I can count on him if my back was up against a wall.
Tammy Chennaux
Mother of the Bride
By the Bride: If there is a person who embodies true love and support, it is my mom. She has been my rock and my cheerleader throughout all of the hard times and my best friend during the good times. From the comedic chaos that made up my high school years to helping me to gain the self confidence to accept love and find a true partner, she has been instrumental in shaping the woman I am today. Her compassionate soul and determined mindset have helped me to grow and mature to be a better woman. All the thank you's in the world cannot encompass the gratitude I have for you. I love you, mom.
Chuck Chennaux
Father of the Bride
By the Bride: My dad has proven that biology has no impact on how much love, commitment and compassion a man can have in raising a child. He has been there for me through every bump in the road, and has constantly supported me to grow and succeed. Sharing the same cheesy sense of humor, we have built an incredible relationship and he's the best dad a girl could ask for. Although now a woman grown and getting married, I will always be your little girl. I love you, dad.
John Malys
Father of the Groom
By the Groom: In the Dad corner standing over six feet tall from Erie, PA. is John Malys. This gentle giant has been a lead role in my development over the years. He is a very loving man full of knowledge about relationships and how to handle a couple crazy daughters as they grow into their teenage years. He is a kind soul and has remained extremely humble for the amount of trials and tribulations he has endured. If there is a jack of all trades this is the man to follow for even if he doesn't have the right tools for the job he can improvise. I will never forget our time spent working together and the dogs we have shared in all of our chapters.
Tiffany Exstrom
Mother of the Groom
By the Groom: Mom, momma, mommy, mum, ma...she goes by them all but remains the same as one. That one, is the strongest most independent mother I could ask for. From the beginning, she has had the most active role in my life. From my childhood, teens, early twenties, and now, this woman has kept consistent in her devotion and dedication to raising me. Her and my father divorced when I was eleven and she was tasked with raising me until I left the nest. She let me develop and learn most on my own but was a great influence when I needed the direction and authority. She supported me through my entire career path discovery and has had patience through my previous financial and relationship decisions. She looks forward to being a grandma to more than dogs someday.
Za Johnson
Officiant
We began attending Mt. Tabor Baptist church a few short months ago and have felt incredibly welcomed and loved by the congregation and the Pastor alike. Pastor Za (right) has incredible ways of explaining and teaching the gospel and bringing the Word to us each week. Although we are still new to Mt. Tabor, we have been comfortable and supported during our time here. It is an honor to have Pastor Za as our Officiant.
