Tonya & Matthew
Wedding Party
Brittany Snowden
Maid of Honor
Brittany (Britt), is the Tonya's older sister. Britt and Tonya have been through everything together, from childhood through college. Britt was Tonya's first college roommate for the first 2 years of college. They have some of the best memories together, as well as some that are not so good ;) But Tonya wouldn't have it any other way. Tonya could not get through her wedding, or life for that matter, without Britt by her side.
Sydney Snowden
Bridesmaid
Sydney is Tonya's younger sister. She was the first person to come around and make Tonya not the "baby" anymore on her Father's side, in 8 years .. that was a tough one to take in :) But growing up with such and age difference made it easy for Britt and myself, to take care of Syd as if she was our kid and not just our sister. Now that Syd is older, it makes it easier for us to have long talks and facetimes and to see "eye to eye" on things. We have a different bond than most family's do, but there isn't anything I would change.
Melisa Depew
Bridesmaid
Melisa (Mississippi - as most of us know her as), she was one of the first people I met when I moved to South Carolina. She works at the same office as I do. She has the most amazing, genuine, funny personalities that you will ever meet. As it would turn out, we ended up buying a house right next door to her and her family!!
Courtney Landa
Bridesmaid
Courtney, She was also on of the first people that I met when we first moved to South Carolina. She happened to be on the same "team" as I was on at my office. She has one of the most outgoing, down to earth, funny, but genuine personalities ever. She was there for me when I was new and didn't know anyone. She has not only welcomed me into her home and around her friends, but more importantly into her family!
Kim Landa
Wedding Planner
Kim, she is Courtney's Mother in Law. Kim is one of the most amazing women I have ever met. Since the first time I have met her, she has treated me as one of her own. She has never looked down on us when we were new to the area, or frowned upon us for leaving early from a party that was being thrown (but let's be honest, we usually stay till the end). Any time we see Kim, she goes out of her way to speak to us and give us hugs and make sure that we feel welcome and loved. So what other lady to be the Day of Coordinator, than Kim? :))
Jonathan Carter
Officiant
Janathan is the husband of Tonya's childhood best friend, Kelsey. He is a music minister at their church in Huntsville, Alabama. Together they have 3 young boys, the youngest 2 being twins! We met Jonathan a few years ago, and he is one of the most amazing, genuine, down to earth men you'll every meet. We knew right away that there would be no problem with guys getting along anytime that all of us were together. When we asked if Jonathan was ordained, Kelsey told us that he was and that he would be honored to officiate our wedding, Jonathan then took it upon himself the next day, to call the Chatham County Courthouse and find out what he needed to do, or if he needed any other papers. That is when I knew, we had found the right person for job. He went above and beyond!
