Mary Patricia & Douglas James
Wedding Party
Marsha Mestre Turner
Matron of Honor
My sister, my friend and sometimes my surrogate mother, she was the first sibling I remember. She was twelve years older than I but never treated me as a burden. She always made me feel special. I can't imagine beginning this journey without her by my side.
Bruce Turner
Brother-in-law extraordinaire
Bruce will be walking me down the sandy aisle on the big day. After my father died, Bruce lovingly took on the role of "father figure" in my life. I was full of questions about everything from science to politics. I spent many hours in the back seat of their green Ford Pinto Hatchback traveling around the country in my teenage years. I will say, they took the brunt of me for a while. Always patient, I thought that he knew the answers to everything! Hell, I still think so! I love you Bruce and I'm looking forward to your steady arm, I'm going to need it!
Sophia Marie Slavinskas
Junior Bridesmaid
Our first granddaughter. She's a talented artist, kind and crazy smart. Doug and I look forward to what her future will hold. She can do anything!
Isabella May Hanna
Flower Girl
Our Bella! She's a fun-loving jokester and has an easy laugh. Upon meeting her she makes you feel as if you have known each other forever. She's quick as a whip so don't let your guard down!
Jac'line Weisgerber
Officiant
My bestie, my rock. We have walked our spiritual paths together, challenged each other, laughed and cried together. She's part of our tribe now whether she likes it or not.
