Wedding Party

Amanda Thompson

Bride

I never thought this day would come, and now here it is! I finally get to call myself a bride and take the final step into joining a wonderful and loving family. I am truly excited and blessed.

Chris Laflin

Groom

We fell in love in the unlikeliest of places and during what some would say was the wrong time. Even still, he stuck it out and stayed true to the course, and I'm so very glad he did. He taught me what real love is and what it means to be happy. I can not wait until the day I get to call myself his wife.

Randy Thompson

Father of the Bride

This man raised me to be the person I am today. Without him, I would be nothing. We may not talk every day, but I love him dearly and can not wait to walk down the aisle with him by my side. He isn't giving me away, I'll always be his daughter. After all, I loved him first.

Acy Cardenez

Best Man

Hello everyone. My name is Acy or also known as “The Best Man”. Chris is one of my closest friends, so close in fact I call him family.

Carolyn Shannon

Maid of Honor

It all started my freshman year when I decided to drop a class and pick up health class. Amanda sat in front of me. We struck up a conversation about Randy Orton and she has been one of my best friends ever since. From light saber battles all night and a boat load of pizza rolls after to trips to steak n shake for a frisco melt at 3 in the morning when we probably shouldn't be out, it's been a blast having her as a friend. Chris you stole my wife, but that's okay because I cannot imagine a better person to do so.

Matt Sexton

Groomsman

I met Amanda 8 or 9 years ago through my sister. I would hear stories of them going on 3 am adventures to Steak and Shake or hearing stories about light saber battles, and over the years I was introduced to Chris. Amanda and Chris would invite us over to play Dungeon and Dragons, house party's, or just coming over to just hangout. I'm glad to call them friends.

Maddie Holden

Bridesmaid

Hi my name is Maddie, I'm one of Chris' younger sisters. While I obviously know Chris pretty well, it's been a blast getting to know Amanda through a mutual love of true crime and spookiness. I'm excited to see what the future holds for Chris and Amanda as well as the rest of our family as we gain a new member; for Chase and I we are gaining a sister. If you're wanting to strike up a conversation with me, ask me about breweries or my dogs!

Brandon Thomas

Groomsman

Morgan Sackenheim

Bridesmaid

My name is Morgan, and Amanda has been one of my best friends since Kindergarten. I practically lived at her house during high school (at least on Friday nights). It was the one place I could go, put on a banana suit, have lightsaber duels, and go crazy with someone who understood me. Oh, and Amanda, there may still be some Hot Tamales on the floor in your old room...

Max Laflin

Groomsman

Hello, my name is Max. I am Chris's younger brother. As per request, I'm gonna tell you how I saved his life that one time because that makes me brotherly.

Reme Winkler

Bridesman

About eleven or so years ago, my mother agreed to let me go to my best friend's house, who was sick with the flu at the time. It was here that I met the Bride to be. Came away from that night with a new friend and the flu. We’ve been friends ever since.

Kennith Moss

Groomsman

Hello everyone. My name is KC. Not to be confused with the other one. I guess you could say Chris and I met a long long time ago. Somewhere around the time that excellence was born (a.k.a. myself). Being the youngest, we have definitely had our ups and downs, but not only am I glad to call him my brother, I am extremely glad to call him one of my closest and best friends. I met Amanda some time ago. Not really sure when. She was very shy at first, but then again, most people are when our family is together. After getting to know her over the years, I am extremely grateful that her and Chris are getting married. I know that they compliment each other extremely well, and I know they are beyond happy together. So welcome to the family Amanda. There's no turning back now...

Chase Holden

Bridesmaid

Hi, my name is Chase, I'm Chris's youngest sister. Getting to know Amanda these past few years has been amazing and I'm glad that she's officially becoming family. I can't wait to continue getting to know Amanda as a sister and seeing what her and Chris's future holds.

Kenny Cress

Groomsman

Megan Sexton

Bridesmaid

I met Amanda through my friend Caroyln when I was starting in high school. Amanda knew I was the one when she gave me a tennis racket, locked me in her sun room to kill a wasp.

Robert Fugate

Groomsman

Hello, I’m Robert Fugate, one of the groomsmen. I met Chris when he first started working remodels and we quickly became best friends, riding to work together, and taking extended PUBG breaks. And when I met Amanda, I knew she was perfect for Chris because of her extreme knowledge of gaming and music. They where made for each other.

Sophi Laflin

Flower Girl

Casey Taggart

Groomsman

Hi, I am KC, formerly known as Taggart. I'm the other half to the KC Duo, the Charmander and Squirtle in the situation. Christopher is my brother, and at the foremost I am the most handsome, single brother in the whole universe.

Lily Laflin

Flower Girl

Andrew Gourley

Ring Bearer

Eddie Thompson

Officiant

I am not only the officiant to this wedding but also the Uncle to the bride! It thrills me to officiate this ceremony for Chris and Amanda as they profess their unending love toward one another. When Amanda was a little girl, she would run excitedly into my arms, wrap her arms around me and give me one of the best hugs on the planet. It’s hard to believe that this little care free girl, full of smiles, joy and compassion has now grown into the beautiful young woman she is today. I’m excited to watch Chris and Amanda as they enter this new chapter of their relationship. Chris is such an intelligent guy whose self-giving and sacrificial love radiates out of his being for those he allows in his inner circle. It has been a pleasure to welcome Chris into the family!

Sandra Thompson

Mother of the Bride

She is the woman who birthed me, the woman who loved me with all her might. She was the one with the infectious laugh and can do attitude, the one where nothing could hold her down. I miss her dearly. It is with a heavy heart that I walk down the aisle without her there, but I know she still will see me. Her presence will be felt stronger than ever as I take this giant step. I love you, Mom.
