Matron of Honor
These two met through unlikely circumstances when Marianne asked Macy to make Brinley some dog bandanas & let’s just say the rest is history! Sharing the love of pretzels & beer cheese, sours, & dogs! We also have Macy to thank for, sneakily, capturing our engagement on camera! We are so incredibly lucky to have her by our side! It’s one of those friendships that was just meant to be!
Maid of Honor
Donna has been Marianne’s best friend for well over a decade now after they first met in 6th grade. Sharing countless late night drives in the dead of winter for ice cream & so many wheezing laughs! Donna has always been there for the bride despite their distance. We also have Donna to thank for helping Chris & Marianne become the couple we know today- and quickly becoming our honorary “third wheel” for the many dates that followed. This is truly a friendship meant to last a lifetime!
Bridesmaid
Let’s take a trip back to the early 2000’s where this friendship blossomed! Marianne first met Samantha when she was only 7 years old while her mom was tanning at a salon that Samantha’s mom worked at & they quickly became inseparable. You would rarely find one without the other! Their families are now one big family with Samantha’s brother, Carlos, as one of the groomsmen. These two have a one of a kind friendship that is surely to last forever!
Bridesmaid
Julie and Marianne’s story begins in the bakery department of a grocery store. Sharing stories, laughs and dancing/singing to pass the time at work. It’s not too often a coworker turns into a lifelong friend but Marianne couldn’t imagine her life without Julie her long lost sister!& If you ever get the pleasure to listen to one of Julie’s stories you’re in for a treat! Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
Bridesmaid
Through a mutual friend Kayla and Marianne met and became fast friends! From beach trips, to sporting events these two are always getting into some fun! We love Kayla for her huge heart and her ability to always get into deep conversations with the bride whenever they’re together. It was a friendship neither of them knew they needed but so glad they’ve found it!
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the bride. April has known Marianne since she was in the womb and despite their age gap have always had an inseparable bond! Marianne always looked to April like a big sister growing up. We love April for her ability to always have you laughing, and your cheeks are guaranteed to hurt from laughing so much.
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the bride. Marianne has known Morgan since she was born. At the family block parties if you saw Marianne- Morgan wasn’t far behind! Marianne always knew one day she would ask Morgan to be apart of the wedding and we are so happy to have her stand by our side on our day!
Bridesmaid
The grooms sister. Angela isn’t only the future sister-in-law, she has also become one of the brides dearest friends. From the moment Angela and Marianne met she welcomed her with open arms! We’ve since share several holidays, vacations, and laughs together! (With many more to come!)
Dog Of Honor
Brinley is Chris & Marianne’s fur baby and is obviously apart of the big day as she is a huge part of their life!
Best Man
One of Chris’s closest friends, Dan and Chris met through scuba class in high school. Dan also got Chris his first job at Shoe Carnival. Where they worked for several years together. Dan was a huge help in the moving process for everybody down here in Tennessee. Dan is a kindhearted, down-to-earth, easily-likable kind of guy. Very thankful for having Dan in my life.
Best Man
Mike holds a special place in Chris’s heart. He was one of the first friends Chris had after moving and switching schools. After connecting through their like of skating/bmx, gaming, and just being straight up goofballs, they quickly became best friends. Whether it was long nights of Call of Duty, playing some type of sport outside with other friends, or just hanging in his basement drinking ungodly amounts of iced tea. Mike never fails to put a smile on anyones face. Mike is truly a brotha-from-anotha-mutha.
Groomsman
Nathan and Chris’s story is a good one! They met through Marianne and Macy wanting to meet for the first time. Being the boyfriends (at the time), they thought they were just getting dragged into a forced friendship. But that was truly not the case! The bond they share grew very quick, and now Nathan is one of Chris’s closest friends!
Groomsman
Carlos is the little brother to Samantha (bridesmaid). But is also like the little brother Chris never had. They both enjoy video games and great tasting food! One of the trips Carlos made to Tennessee, Chris had to rescue him from a flowing river! Kind of ironic because now he’s on his high schools swim team! Chris is very proud of the progress Carlos has made and is very excited to have him be apart of the big day!
Groomsman/Flower Dude
Andreas and Chris also met through working at Shoe Carnival. Andreas is one of the most outgoing and outspoken people Chris knows. Another reason why he’s the perfect fit to be our flower dude. Some of Andreas’s descriptions he comes with off the top of his head is hilarious. Chris and Andreas have had some good times like late night Just Dance parties, Warrior Dash races, and catching Rocket League dubs.
Groomsman
Chris met Sebastian through the scuba class in high school as well. Being the brother to Dan, Sebastian was around quite often as well. Another great friend to Chris, but also like a brother. They worked at Shoe Carnival for a brief time together. Sebastian took Chris out for his 21st birthday, and let’s just say the rest is history. Very thankful to have a guy like Sebastian standing by us in the wedding.
Groomsman
Ben and Chris’s relationship started over a game of football at a park. Chris and Mike were at a park, playing catch, when they saw Ben playing football with a bunch of other kids. To this day, Ben’s name in Chris’s phone is still “Ben from Park”. A constant reminder of when they met! After the move to Tennessee, it’s been hard to keep contact with a lot of Chris’s friends. Ben is one of the main guys he’d play Warzone with. It was always a competition between the two of us who would get the most damage/kills in a match. Just very glad and happy there is still such a strong friendship between each other after so many years!
Groomsman
Chris met Randy also through scuba class in high school. Randy is such a relaxed and laid back guy. He’d give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was also one of the main culprits in Chris’s 21st fiesta. Chris is very thankful to have Randy standing up by him in his wedding.
