Wedding Party

Kristi Dudash

Matron of Honor

We have toddled around since diapers. Living beside each other has its perks-your house or mine? Being 2 peas in a pod we have cheered each other on from soccer games to track meets. Attended each other's graduations, been on road trips together, celebrated each other's families milestones together and the list goes on. Needless to say being besties has remained strong and intact through our 40+ years.

Melinda Page

Matron of Honor

We met while working at SunCom and from there our friendship blossomed to over 20 years. My go-to-girl who provides the encouragement & support. She tells it like it is giving advice or dropping things like a drop of hat...no matter what is going on. Even if I want to hear it or not. She is my sound mind at times. Mel is always is there-a phone call, text, or quick drive away. Friends and Family, couldn't tell us apart. Yes, we are known as M & M.

Tabetha Campbell-Thompson

Bridesmaid

My dear cousin, has taught me some life lessons that she probably doesn't even know. From spending time sitting at Grandma Rine's rocking in the chair to learning about the in's and out's of insurance to getting me back into Girl Scouting. Tabetha has been a wonderful role model for me to have while growing up. She is my outdoors, camping, let's try it out chica. Our bond continues to grow more and more each day and I am so thankful for her love and support.

Denise Campbell Simmons

Bridesmaid

From having someone who did your hair on the whim to helping you move in to your dorm room, carrying all your shoesboxes in the van which was a necessity, to cooking dinner for your friends. Denise is always the person I need to talk to when I didn't see eye to eye with others. It is great to have a moderator to just hear you out. Late night phone calls & visits are always welcome and we will continue to create those memories we bottle up to treasure. Still learning the trick and trades from my cousin who gives it to me-on the real!

Margaret Clayton

Bridesmaid

You can't go wrong when you bleed Purple and Gold!!! Being part of ECU's Track and Field team was just the begining of our ventures. Noah's best babysitter, having fun attending football games together are just some common takebacks. Margaret + Melissa =Mommy friends. Having someone to talk to for our Chat Days and a quick visit when passing through town is one of the best feelings. We always pick up right where we left off. Pirates Forever!

James Toney

Best Man

Noah Johnson

Groomsman

Noah started our journey with us. Seeing him grow from a little boy to a mature young adult through the years is amazing. From our accomplishments to successes we haven't missed a beat. To have his seal of approval from the beginning was just the start of what is yet to become. So glad he can fit us in his busy schedule these days. Our oldest-the grown one!

Romel Hunt

Groomsman

We met in 1996 while working in the Department of Juvenile Justice. I stood for him and now he stands for me.

Destinee Decess

Flower Girl

Our little "princess" for sure. A sweet caring soul with a smile that will melt your heart. She will be sprinkling the flowers giving a little sass too. She is so excited for our upcoming day, more so for the pictures and dress and that is okay. This middle child will definintely shine!

James Walter Decess

Ring Bearer

He will be securing the rings, which should be a treat to see. This bundle of joy will be going like the Energizer Bunny. That's why we shall always stay young at heart...since it will be to keep up with him. If he runs-catch him, please...The baby of course!
