Bride
The one who waited 40 years for her Prince Charming
Groom
Needs no introduction !
Maid of Honor
My beautiful daughter and first born. My sunshine, Sassy pants diva. Beware: She’s bossy. But so much fun!! You can expect to find Hayley on the dance floor having tons of fun!
Best Man
Channing met Rick when they were stationed at Ft Leonard Wood, Mo. They became fast friends and partied like it was 1999. He likes long walks on the beach and his favorite color is clear.
Matron of Honor
My best friend of 18 years! We met because of our children Jason and Hayley who were in daycare together and would often get in trouble together. Don’t let her size fool you! She may be short but she is loud! You will find her taking control of things and “momming” everyone!
Groomsman
Tyler is Channing’s son who is currently an active duty Marine. Tyler is married to the lovely Tiffany and we are so excited to have him as part of our wedding party.
Bridesmaid
My younger sister. She’s a little nutty. She may break out into randomness and make you laugh. You’ll probably find her shaking her groove thang on the dance floor!!
Groomsman
Channing’s close friend and former co-worker. Theo and his beautiful wife Brianne were the lucky witnesses to our nuptials. He has great stories to tell about the groom. Channing met Theo at work, and became buddies. Years later, they still ride bikes together.
Bridesmaid
My beautiful niece. The one who made me an aunt for the first time. The only one in the family who can sing like an angel! Such a beautiful soul!

Ring Bearer
Our son. The funniest little boy around! He came into our lives Memorial Day weekend 2017 and changed things up! He often says a lot with the looks on his face. You’ll catch him soaking up the attention.
Ring Bearer
Michelle’s nephew. Little ginger ball of fury!! Wild child supreme! He has tons of energy and has loads of personality. He loves to dance and entertain on the dance floor!
Father of the Bride
One half of the duo who gives me the marriage goals I have! Dad will most likely be found telling stories. He has tons of them. And he loves a new audience. You might catch him cutting a rug or two!
Mother of the Bride
The other half of the inspiring duo! The woman who made me who I am today. The perfect example of a wife and mother. I can only hope to be to Channing what she has been to my Dad! You’ll find mom boo-hooing.... a lot!!
