Wedding Party
Isabelle La Framboise
Maid of Honor
I'm Nalana's only sister, and when we were kids, I watched her dream about her wedding day. Now, as part of that dream actually coming true, it means the world. I'm so excited to watch her new life bloom with Tommy. Personally, I work in neurology and forensic science, and outside of that, I have a cosplay hobby that I share with my partner, Vincent.
Andrew Chestnut
Best Man
My name is Andrew Chestnut, I am 25 years old, a business owner, but most importantly a proud brother. When I'm not working, I'm staying on top of my health and fitness practicing MMA, eating steak, or in a sauna session.
Tonya Lanning
Bridesmaid
Nalana and I have been best friends since 2nd grade. I feel blessed to be so involved in her life and family. I’ve been doing landscaping for 8 years and enjoy the hard work and outdoors. By the time this wedding rolls around, I will, Lord willing, have a 4-month-old baby! I’m especially excited to see Nalana’s long-term wedding plans come together and her vision come to life in the next few months!
Alex De Caro
Groomsman
I've grown up with Tommy since kindergarten, sharing many adventures and hardships together. I'm honored to be his closest friend. I moved away from California five years ago and now work for a luxury fashion designer in Boise, Idaho.
Monica Stasiulewicz
Bridesmaid
I’m one of Nalana’s lifelong friends from childhood church days in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our friendship grew in high school, and it only deepened through late-night calls and visits out to California, when Nalana moved for her MFA. I met Tommy near the start of their relationship during a memorable night at a billiards club in Santa Cruz, and I’ve been cheering them on as a couple ever since. When I’m not celebrating my friends, I work at OnePoint Integrated Exhibits, helping businesses plan their trade show programs and create booths that stand out on the show floor. I also recently started taking ballet classes at Nalana’s dance studio, proving it’s never too late to try something new and a little bit whimsical!
Blake Wesley Owen
Groomsman
My name is Blake. I'm a close friend and longtime teammate of Tommy, I’ve had the privilege of playing Little League baseball, high school water polo and swimming, as well as professional Halo 3 matches with him. From staying up way too late as kids playing Halo to making unforgettable memories through sports and our trip to Canada, we’ve shared so many great moments. I’m so excited to see Tommy begin this next chapter of his life with his soon-to-be wife!
Erika DeVries
Bridesmaid
I have known Nalana’s family for 9 years now. I attended high school with Nalana and her sister Isabelle (my very close friend), and I currently live in the family’s upstairs apartment. I met Tommy when he drove Nalana across the country to move home and found he was perfect for Nalana. I currently work as a nurse tech at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital. Fun fact: I have a twin sister, and we share our birthday with our dad.
Sam Keadle
Groomsman
Awkward guy who enjoys his friends.
