Paul Nicholls
Father of the Bride
"Paulie" (as Chris says) is where Kaylee got her creative, artistic side.

Mary Ann Coon
Mother of the Groom
Mary Ann is the best mother a guy could ask for. She has been and is always there for whenever Chris has needed anything. She is an amazing grandmother and is the hardest working woman he has ever known. Mary Ann has been a nurse all of Chris's life and couldn't imagine her doing anything else that wouldn't involve helping others. Fun fact: The groom has never witnessed his mother "walk" anywhere. Her "walk" is the groom's jog.
