Olivia & Derek
Wedding Party
Kaelie Sooy
Maid of Honor
Kaelie and Olivia met in graduate school. Kaelie has been one of Olivia's best friends ever since. She is one of the kindest people Olivia knows and they always have a good time together. Olivia and Kaelie spend a lot of time shopping and running errands together which usually ends up in debates about what we need vs. what we want. Olivia is so thankful for all of Kaelie's help through the wedding process. Olivia is happy that Kaelie said she would be a part of their big day!
Tyler Parks
Best Man
Derek met Tyler in 6th grade. They did not become friends until high school but were best friends from then on out. Derek lived with him for 3 years in Murfreesboro before Derek moved to Knoxville. Derek was lucky enough to be a part of his big day and he is thankful Tyler said he would be a part of his as well.
Ailie Green
Bridesmaid
Ailie has been one of Olivia's best friends since she was 5 years old. Olivia and Ailie grew up together and has been the A to her O since Olivia can remember. When Olivia and Ailie spend time together it always feels like they haven't ever been apart. Olivia is so thankful that Ailie agreed to be a part of the big day. A & O have been a part of each others families since day 1.
Eric Wardwell
Groomsman
Eric and Derek went to school together but did not hang out until they lived on the same road in Morristown. Eric, also has a love for flamingos and rotary engines. Eric has been one of Derek's childhood friends and lived with Eric for 3 years once he moved to Knoxville. Derek is happy that Eric gets to celebrate with us and be a part of the big day.
Laura Queyrouze
Bridesmaid
Laura and Olivia met when we were both working at a preschool and have been best friends ever since. Olivia was like, " Who is this sassy girl who may out sass me?" Laura is fun, almost always down to party, but definitely down for an adventure. Laura is the girl that Olivia can count on to eat pizza and always get ice cream after (because who doesn't love ice cream?) Olivia is thankful for your friendship and that Laura said she would be a part of our special day!
Ian Sooy
Groomsman
Ian and Derek met through Olivia. Ian is Kaelie's husband and once Olivia and Kaelie became friends, Derek started trading help for home projects. Ian and Derek build things together and enjoy talking about new beers around town and their favorite places to drink. Ian is one of Derek's "whiskey drinking friends" and Derek is glad Ian is going to be a part of the big day.
Samantha Fonseca-Story
Bridesmaid
Samantha and Olivia have been best friends since Olivia moved back from Knoxville. They were friends in undergrad, but lost touch once they both graduated. Samantha is the friend who loves to go out, loves to chill, loves to talk about her pets, and life in general. Thank you Samantha for always drinking champagne even if it does give us a headache the next day. Olivia was lucky and got to be a part of Samantha's big day, and Olivia is thankful that Samantha will get to be a big part of ours.
