Kristi & Matthew
Wedding Party
Paul Vance
Best Man
Paul and I met when I moved to Berkley the summer going into 8th grade. The guy pulled up in a golf cart and picked up the only 2 girls I knew.....The guy was cool.....I then found out he lived 4 houses away. We started playing pickup Basketball and Football and from that day forward, we have been best friends. We had many nights throughout high school walking the streets of Berkley, playing sports and basically growing up together through thick and thin. Fun Fact: Paul ran track at Texas A&M, but missed me too much and moved back home
Bryan Madle
Best Man
Bryan and I met Freshman year in the dorms at Western Michigan University. Bryan lived 4 doors down from me and was the guy everyone wanted to be around. We had epic nights in Kalamazoo, from him posing as a delivery guy, partying at the stops when I was the actual delivery driver, to music festivals and ambulance rides from a tree falling on my head. We lived together as roommates in college and have continued to be best friends wherever we are at in life. Fun Fact: Bryan and his wife Sarah lived in Costa Rica after college, but missed me too much and moved back home.
Amber Frampton
Maid of Honor
Amber and I met in 2005 while attending cosmetology school. She was a class ahead of me so we didn't get to spend much time together but you just can't NOT know Amber! She graduated, then I graduated, fast forward two years and next thing you know we're working in the same salon. Ever since then she has been one of my best friends! She is hands down the most outgoing person I have ever met! Not to mention the funniest! Her smile and laugh is contagious and to know her is to love her! We've had many adventures together and I'm so glad she'll be standing up there with me on the big day! Fun Fact: Amber always reads magazines back to front. Also, she can and will do the splits on command! Watch out for her on the dance floor!
Amy Whiting
Maid of Honor
Amy and I have been best friends since the third grade and she's the best! I spent as much time as I could with her family growing up and tagged along to most of their family trips lol! Even so much that her parents call me "other daughter"! She is beautiful, funny, kind and the closest thing that I have to a sister! So glad that I get to do life with this pretty lady! Amy also just had a baby in November and I can't wait for her son Dino and our daughter Delilah to be best friends growing up too! Fun Fact: Amy used to work with Molly Bloom in exclusive underground poker games in NYC. They’re still friends today!
Jeff Waldrup
Groomsman
Jeff and I are legally step brothers but I have always considered him my big brother while growing up. Jeff has always been a great person to look up to and I continue to look up to...... As a brother, as a father, as an uncle and as a friend, the man is a inspiration to me. I look forward to our families growing together and the many fun years that we have to come. Fun Fact: Jeff worked as a Sushi chef in Las Vegas, but moved closer to home because he missed me too much.
Mike McKinney
Groomsman
Mike is Kristi’s little brother but soon he'll be my brother too! Although I already consider him a friend. He’s always ready to laugh, be spontaneous and have a good time! He’s a great uncle to little Delilah and we’re so happy to have him stand up there with us on the wedding day! Fun Fact: Mike currently lives in Columbus, OH, but before you know it, he also will miss me too much and will move back home as well.
Gina Cervoni
Bridesmaid
Gina and I have been friends since we were 13 yrs old. She's my pint sized, little redheaded Canadian friend and I love her to death! We went to highschool together and I'm so glad that we've remained so close over the years! Gina was also one of the people that introduced Matt and I. So thankful that she did! Fun Fact: Gina was once a professional cheerleader on the Cheerleaders of America (COA) team. She can still tumble!
Sarah Wertheimer
Bridesmaid
Sarah is Matt's little sister! She is such an awesome person and I can’t wait for her to be my new sister! She’s a great Aunt to Delilah and a great dog mom to her fur baby Jax! Sarah also recently got engaged to her boyfriend Greg! We're so happy for them and can't wait to to celebrate their big day in the future! Xoxoxo
"Ricky"
Officiant
We found Ricky on Craigslist. We were looking for an officiant with the enthusiasm for love that we share and bingo... Ricky. Ricky is a former Pentacostal Snake Pastor and after being bitten by his Rattlesnake during Sunday service snake worship he was unfortunately forced to retire. After hanging up his snake charming shoes, Ricky then obtained his wedding officiants license during a brief stint in the Florida State Correctional Institution. Bada bing, bada boom! He now specializes in weddings!.......... just kidding! hahaha! It's our maid of honor Amber! The "Ricky" picture is from halloweeen one year. The real Amber however, will indeed be officating our cermony for real!
