Wedding Party

Melissa McCrary

Bride

Lonnie Hinkley

Groom

Joey Hernandez

Best Man

Lonnie & I met when we were 12 years old. I was getting my ass kicked by 3 other kids and he helped me out. We’ve been brothers ever since. We have seen things together from hell & back. Then in 2018 Lonnie introduces me to Melissa. As he said himself, “The Love of his life.” I can see he is truly happy. Anyone can see that Melissa shares his life, not take it from him. Love, Joey

Patty Juarez

Matron of Honor

I met Melissa & Lonnie 5 yrs ago at Cigna. We all started in the same training class. Watching their relationship grow & blossom was pretty awesome. Working in the office, Lonnie trying to guess the flavor of Chapstick Melissa put on & her pigtails & dum-dum lollipops…well you can imagine the rest! I had the privilege of being there for the engagement, I have never seen my Bestie more excited & happy than that day (until her wedding day of course). Melissa grounds Lonnie & Lonnie makes her so happy. What a great difference from when they first met. They both were so unhappy & now I always see them both happy & smiling. They work through their issues & you can tell they’re soulmates. I’m honored to be The Matron of Honor. Love you Bestie & Lonnie too even if he drives me insane - LOL

Patti Harvey

Bridesmaid

I met them 4yr ago on a trip to Cottonwood (Thunder Valley Rally). A bunch of bikers, a weekend of friends & a great time. Sleeping in someone’s backyard, in tents. Here is this big burly guy & a tiny little thing with him. Then the true colors came out when the bike keys were put away & the bottles came out!!! And let me tell you it was not just beer! The party really started when a 20yr old bottle of Jagermeister was pulled from the cabinet, dust & all. We all have a great time in Cottonwood. The group has gotten smaller but the ones that are true to the group, still go to Cottonwood once a year for the weekend. Melissa you’re a true friend all I need to do is call, you will be there in a heartbeat. I’m proud to call you my family. Love you more then you know Patti with an i !!!

I first met Lonnie in 2016 through his best friend (aka. Big Brother) Joey, to whom I was dating; subsequently to whom I am now married too. Lonnie is a fun, loving, adventurous person. He would do anything for anyone he loves. Since then I am proud to call Lonnie my brother. In 2018 Lonnie introduced Melissa to Joey & I, he was nervous as a schoolboy with his first crush. From the start we saw a change in Lonnie we had not seen in a very long time. Many said that they got their ole Lonnie back. Lonnie & Melissa are a genuine love. They complement each other, like true love should. Melissa is so wonderful for Lonnie, as he is for her. They just both beam with love. What can I say when you find the right one it's just right. I love you Lonnie & Melissa… Can’t wait!

Bridesmaid

I met Melissa about 15 years ago. We had just moved next door and my daughter was an escape artist at only a year and a half old she ran out while I was in the bathroom and parked her butt right on Melissa's door step. We have been friends ever since. We have seen each other at our worst and have celebrated our achievements. Can’t wait to be a part of their special day!

I’m not really sure where I meet Melissa and Lonnie to be honest. I just know they started showing up at every gathering I happened to be at and bam, just like that, they became family. Now we have Sunday dinners from time to time, Thanksgiving dinners, and Christmas parties every year (Lonnie makes the best Santa around). I could not ask for better friends who will have your back and lend a hand whenever the occasion arises. I know the two of you are going to make this your happily ever after and I am so happy to be a part of it and share in this amazing journey with you. All my love, Tricia

I moved to AZ July 2018, & became a dual member at Osborn #2843. Became an Eagle Rider. Near the end of 2019 some new members transferred to Osborn #2843. They were active riders & went on a few rides. Shortly after the new year, I found myself riding side by side with a guy with a long ass beard. Wasn’t real sure how to take him, but I did notice his road name, Preacher. With a name like that I figured I needed to see what he was about. I’m so glad I did! Preach is honest, loving, family oriented, trustworthy & humble person I have ever met. He will do anything for anyone in need. He has wrote prayers that brought tears to my eyes. I’m blessed to have met him. I’m very honored to be by his side as says his vows to his best friend and wife to be "Queen Bee". I love ya Preach, God Bless

Let me see, as I remember it was an event that was being held at the Osborn Eagles by the Riders. It was a dinner of some sort and you guys attended with Tim and Patti Harvey and a few other couples whom I also didn’t know . I only knew Tim from a few rides with Deer Valley. Dee and I sat in at a game table playing blackjack at a Deer Valley casino night so that was how I met Tim and Patti. So at the dinner I mentioned above Tim asked us to sit at the table with all the couples you all were with and we also met at a few other events afterwards and we all just became friends. Then once you guys joined the Osborn Aerie and the 2843 Riders we have become family. Love you guys

Well, it’s a story, so here goes. My wife & I were asked to go to Cottonwood to the Thunder Valley Rally. We weren’t going to go, but we did, slept in a backyard in tents & had a blast. We had a lot of fun that weekend from me dumping my bike & Lonnie’s loner bike breaking down every 10 minutes to getting shit faced. Lonnie was drinking everything that anyone had, he even drank a 20yr old bottle of Jägermeister, but he didn’t care he drank it anyway. We’ve been friends since, they’re great friends they are here for us & we’re here for them. I will always have his and his families back & I know he would do the same for me. Ever since that weekend in Cottonwood we became close friends (family). Bottom line you don’t find many straight-shooting friends like Lonnie, Love you brother

I met Lonnie and Melissa through a mutual friend in the motorcycle world. We went on a bike run together and became very good friends right from the start. I immediately became jealous of Lonnie’s beard. They are both now members of our small group at church and we continually have great fellowship and study together. Watching them grow as a couple has been awesome. They are both a great fit for the other and you can see the genuine love in their eyes when they look at each other. Our relationship has grown to amazing heights since that initial meeting. There is nothing that I wouldn’t do for either of them. I am honored to call Lonnie and Melissa my Brother and Sister not only as a biker but also as the leader of our small group.
