Preslee & Estevenson
Wedding Party
Preslee Nast
Bride
Preslee's first impression of Estevenson after they started talking was that he was soo cute and very nice. When the date rolled around, she considered not going, but after some of convincing from her MOH, she went on their first date to Texas Roadhouse. Though, Preslee was sick the weekend of the date, she had the best time and knew from the beginning that Estevenson was special and they would be in it for the long haul. Almost three years later, E popped the question and now he's stuck with her forever.
Estevenson Coleman
Groom
Estevenson likes to tell everyone he has had a crush on Preslee since high school so he had to "wait six years for her," but who know's if that's true or if he just says it for dramatic effect ;). He asked her out to dinner after they re-connected over Facebook. Estevenson messaged Preslee because she was at a soccer game in Barcelona and Barcelona is his favorite team! Since that day 4 years ago, the two have never gone a day without talking and the rest is history.
Lynsey Willcox
Maid of Honor
Lynsey and Preslee go all the back to first grade. Though, their fourth grade feud due to wearing the same shirt on school picture day (tragic, I know) caused a mini bump in the road of their friendship, they've spent the majority of their lives being two peas in a pod. High school days were spent getting $1 ice cream cones from McDonalds and trying to blow up pool floaties with an airmatress pump. Preslee and Lynsey like to think they've grown up since then, but these days you can probably find them on any dance floor in a 25 mile radius. *insert any Cardi B song*
Fritzson Duclervil
Best Man
Estevenson and Fritzson met at a soccer try out at St. Charles Community college. When E found out Fritz was Haitian, he'd talk to him in Creole but Fritz would reply in English because he didn't believe E really knew creole. Once he realized they were the only two Haitians on the soccer team (or maybe even at SCC), their friendship grew. Their best conversations happened when Fritz always made E late for his classes because he overslept. Since moving on from SCC, the two have remained best friends and even roommates sharing obscene amounts of rice and beans.
Lauren Parker
Matron of Honor
Lauren and Preslee fully believe they're cousins because NO ONE could handle them as sisters. They share a love of pizza rolls, shopping and watching Christmas movies in July. Their sisterhood truly blossomed when they lived together for three years and shared a lot of taco bell and pool days. 98% of the time they speak in a language only they would understand, but they wouldn't have it any other way.
Kyle McClellan
Best Man
Kyle and Estevenson met back in 2014, but became a huge part of Estevenson's life in 2016 when E started working for Brace for Impact. Through working for the organization, the two have travelled to many places together and shared some great experiences. Kyle was the first person to know E was planning to propose to Preslee and helped him make the engagement in Haiti perfect. Though, Kyle is E's boss, he is also a true friend who E is extremely grateful for.
Breanna Crowe
Bridesmaid
Breanna and Preslee were put together as roommates through the random process their Freshman year. After an interesting first few weeks (aka, they didn't really like each other at all), they bonded over their love of microwave Velveeta macaroni and cheese. They shared a tiny dorm for a semester and spent most of it breaking into the window after forgetting their keys and using their laptop to watch movies because they couldn't figure out how to hook up the TV.
Basil Oniya
Groomsman
Estevenson and Basil bonded over being the only two foreign kids on the soccer team at St. Charles West. They were not only both new to the school, they were both new to the country and stuck together from the get go. They were quick to become friends on and off the field, as they realized they had many more things in common than just soccer. After leaving St. Charles West and going their separate ways, the two ended up at Lindenwood University at the same time to finish up their degree. Now, 9 years later they're still great friends, they've just added a few more foreign kids to the group.
Brittney Nast
Bridesmaid
Brittney and Preslee are sista sista's. You can probably find them trying some ridiculous new work out class or trying to talk the other one into trying something that they want to do. If they're not there, you may find them laying out by a pool, lake or ocean (any body of water really) enjoying the sunshine. They may or may not disagree about who is truly the best Gossip Girl character, but it's okay; Brittney will always be the Serena to Preslee's Blair.
Spencer Nast
Groomsman
Spencer and Estevenson may have formed a friendship because of E dating Preslee, but they actually met years before. In high school, E didn't speak the best english and Spencer was super shy, but they'd play basketball together in the gym for hours without every saying a word to each other. In 2015, when E went to pick Preslee up for their first date, he was shocked to see the "quiet kid he played basketball with" a few years back was her brother! Fast forward to now, E speaks great english and Spencer isn't so quiet.
Kristen Clark
Bridesmaid
Kristen and Preslee became good friends in their high school home ec. class. They were the two...not so talented sewers in the class, but they had the best time trying and laughing with each other at their failed attempts. They spent their high school days by their pool, eating too many Jack in a box tacos and dressing up to see Vinny from Jersey Shore when he was in STL. As their friendship has grown, the two like to think they've matured together but let's be real, they both still can't sew and would TOTALLY dress up if Vinny from Jersey Shore was in town.
Joshua Nast
Groomsman
Estevenson heard about Josh for about a year from Preslee before he actually met him because he lived in PA when they started dating. Though, their meeting was a bit delayed, they now see each other often and bond over giving each other a hard time. The first time E met Josh, Harper (Josh's daughter) was only 6 months old and cried and cried. Estevenson walked around with her and got her to sleep, and he's been on Joshua's good side ever since. In the past three years, they have gotten to share many trips to FL, trips to the lake and even a trip to the Caribbean.
Widelande Coleman
Bridesmaid
Widelande became the little sister Preslee never had and never knew she wanted within days of meeting her. The two never had a moment where it didn't feel natural to be around each other. Preslee has watched Widelande go from a freshman in High School to a bootcamp graduate of the Navy. Preslee has been able to do Widelande's hair from proms and homecomings and even open up her closet (I'm telling you, she really became like that little sister!) to watch Widelande celebrate milestones in her high school career. Now, Widelande is embarking on a new adventure with the Navy and Preslee is just as proud as any sister would be!
Luke Coleman
Groomsman
Luke and Estevenson were able to meet in Haiti when E was only 10 before the Coleman's even knew they were going to adopt E. E still remembers being small and looking up at look and wondering "why are you so tall!" Since that meeting, their lives were all changed when E was adopted and he met Luke again when he came in 2009. Now, in 2018, they've taken many family trips together and have had some great times doing "brother things" when they're together. You could say a lot has changed except for E still thinking "why are you so tall!"
Danielle Tackett
Bridesmaid
Two words start the blossoming of this sister-friendship: JACLYN HILL. Danielle and Preslee shared a love of makeup and beauty you-tubers from the get go. The more they talked makeup, the more they realized they had so much in common. Now, they've spent many family trips and dinners talking about SUPER important things such as the latest Bachelor or Bachelorette, and don't forget Bachelor in Paradise. However, anytime they're around each other the conversation can always go back to where the friendship started, because we all know Jaclyn Hill knows best.
Amanda Perry
Bridesmaid
Amanda was the first Coleman Preslee met when her and E started dating. Preslee was in Kansas City while E was in St. Charles and Amanda lived about 5 minutes from her. They met over coffee and hit it off right away. Their short coffee meeting turned into 2 hours of chatting about anything and everything. From that day in 2015, Amanda has always made Preslee feel welcome and like one of the family. Now, they bond over their love of shared TV shows, ESPECIALLY Queer Eye.
