Lori & John
Wedding Party
Preston Wilhite
Officiant
Preston and John are high school buddies who definitely know how to start the party. We love Preston and his hilarious personality and we are so excited to have him officially declare us husband and wife!
Cynthia Grape
Mother of the Bride
Lori's wonderful Aunt has taken on her Godmother role since the passing of Lori's mom in 2016. Even though her mom will be there in spirit, we are so grateful for Aunt Cyndi and everything she has done for our family. We love her so much!
Bradley Winchell
Father of the Bride
Everyone knows and loves Lori's dad! He lives the retired/grandpa life like a boss and has accepted John into his family with loving and open arms. Traveling from San Diego we are so grateful he has agreed to give her away on our special day.
Kole Tracy
Son of the bride
Kole is currently occupied with his awkward preteen stage but has been raised by John for more than half of his life. He loves John like a father and we are so excited that he will be giving Lori away on their special day. Don't cry because you'll make us cry!!
Nancy Bigelow
Mother of the Groom
What would we do without Nancy?? Between being the best grandma and the best mother, she sure exceeds everything we deserve. So grateful that she has taken care of us as a couple for so many years.
Daryl Bigelow
Father of the Groom
If Daryl didn't make fun of us at least once a week, life would be so boring! We love Poppa and his jokes and for the record, Lori is his favorite. =)
Christina Moleres
Maid of Honor
The best thing Lori got out of nursing school was Christina! Through a lot of tears and stressful situations they became best friends and we love her so much! She might be a little nervous giving a speech so if you see her, give her some liquid courage =)
Amy Stevenson
Bridesmaid
Amy met Lori the day that they went on their first date! Amy and her husband have been life long friends with John and she has brought Lori into their home with open arms. She is an absolutely amazing friend and mama. We are so lucky to have her in our lives!
Brandy Brown
Bridesmaid
Brandy and Lori met just a few short years ago as Brandy taught her everything she knows as a new nurse! It was definitely love at first site for them because they've been inseperable since. Brandy is one of those friends that despite what she's going through, she would drop anything for you. And Lori loves making her go outside her comfort zone =)
Alyssa Anastasi
Bridesmaid
This beauty is one of Lori's longest friends! For almost 10 years Alyssa has been in Lori's life as a best friend and go too lady. So grateful she has put up with me for so long and through the ups and downs she's still agreed to help us say "I do". Love her so so much AND if you hear us call each other "Felicia", thats what we do, its normal =)
Rachelle Winchell
Bridesmaid
Rachelle married my brother and became the sister that Lori never had. We've literally been to hell and back together and it's made us stronger. We cant imagine getting married without her. As John says, "take some wifey tips from Rachelle" =)
Katie Leighninger
Bridesmaid
You never know what you are going to get when your blending families, but the Bigelow women are literally the best of the best. As Johns sister, Katie put up with John her whole life so she deserves all the credit! Once again, another sister that Lori never knew she absolutely needed. We love you Katie!
Andrew Harrell
Groomsman
Drew worked as Johns boss when he was going through quite possibly the worst time of his life, residency. Now John and Drew have a bromance like no other. Drew and his wife live down the street and we run a farm together. We love Drew and his wife so much!
Eric Winchell
Groomsman
I don't think John ever imagined that he would get a brother in law that checks off all his boxes. Lives in Montana. Loves beer. And loves to live off the grid and fish. As Lori's brother we are so grateful he has welcomed John with open arms and will be with us on our special day!
Christopher Leighninger
Groomsman
Chris is the brother that John never had and we are so grateful that he came into the family. Chris literally has no filter and we love him so much for his comedy and sweet demeanor. Thank you Chris for saying yes to sanding up in front of a few people and helping us say "I do"! We love you!
Brandon Stam
Groomsman
Brandon and John met in college and did the whole college scene together. ALOT of weird stuff they don't talk about and some pretty sketch living situations. 10 + years later we are so grateful that he will be with us on our special day!
Aaron Brooks
Groomsman
Aaron is one of Johns college friends whom we are so grateful he's back in the USA! He has a darling little boy whom we are blessed to see every once in awhile. Love to get John and Aaron together for a quick beer because they are sure to entertain =)
Kevin Stevenson
Groomsman
Kevin and John have been friends since Rio Rancho high school when they were awkward and weird. Flash forward 20 years and they both have children and wives! So grateful to have Kevin help John tie the knot and officially make him an adult =)
Katelyn Brown
Flower Girl
Beautiful little Kate is the daughter of bridesmaid Brandy Brown and has been such a sweet addition to our lives. With her spunky 9 year old fashion she has picked out the most elegant dress that she cant wait to share with you all! We love you Kate and cant wait to see you strut your stuff!
Wesley Winchell
Honor Attendant
Wesley is Lori's very mature and handsome nephew whom will be all dressed up for the occasion and ready to escort you to your seat. We are so grateful to have Wesley as part of our special day and we promise you will want to be seen with him on your arm =)
Nathaniel Leighninger
Ring Bearer
Our nephew Nate is sure to steal the show with his entrance. He will be delivering Uncle John his ring (hopefully in one piece) Who knows, there could be a small toy dinosaur instead =)
Waylon Winchell
Ring Bearer
Waylon is another nephew who will most definitely be fighting Nate for the show. He will be delivering Auntie Lori her ring. With his long blonde locks were hoping for a man bun, but if not, we'll settle for whatever mischief these two 5 year olds will make!
