Wedding Party
Meghan Mitchell
Bridesmaid
Meghan and I met our freshman year in college at U of A! We were in the same dorm and had a class together. Megs moved back to ASU and then we reconnected in the bathroom at Dos Gringos in 2004 and have never looked back! Meghan is married to Brad and has 3 kiddos - Aubrey, Connor, and Dylan.
Christina Alvarez
Bridesmaid
I don’t even remember when we actually met or what the story was, but I’m so glad we did! I think it probably involved Sandbar and drinks! Christina is one of the most creative and funniest people I know. Cheers to one of my favorite Wildcats! Christina is married to David and has 2 kiddos - Natalia and Leo.
Katrina Benjamin
Bridesmaid
Couldn’t be more happier than to start at Vanguard and find Katrina. It all started with being in the same hire class and our first date night to Sushi Brokers and has grown from there! We’ve had the best time traveling, hiking, going to Disneyland, and tons of good food along the way. Cheers to 19 years of friendship this year!
Rea Gonzales
Bridesmaid
I met Rea through her sister Katrina. I don’t remember the exact date we met, but it’s been full of adventures ever since. Rea is my travel buddy and always up for a good trip or fun at Disneyland. From Spain to Portugal to Jamaica and tons of Broadway shows and now on to Cabo!
Maura Saxelby
Bridesmaid
Again thankful to Vanguard for bringing us together! From our early Vegas days to being bad luck when we show up at U of A games (at least we’ve broken the losing streak). We’ve had so much fun, and so much more to come! Cheers to my other favorite Wildcat! Maura is married to Rob and just had baby William in August. We’re so excited to welcome him into our family!
Wendy Mathis
Bridesmaid
Another Vanguardian lifelong friendship! Wendy started the year after us and I don’t exactly know when we met, but I remember a certain happy hour at Elephant Bar (way back in the day). Wendy moved to Dallas, but I love visiting her and becoming Texas Randi. Wendy is married to Loren and has 2 kiddos - Leila and Lex.
Carter Norman
Ring Bearer
Carter is almost 5 and is a big fan of all things Blippi and Peppa Pig. He loves everything about cars and is a great helper in the kitchen!
Minnie and Randy Norman
Parents of the Bride
How do you even say thank you for a lifetime? But an incredible thank you for making me the person that I am today. Thanks for your support and always being there for us. You’ve been a great example of marriage, family, and turning friends into family. You two are truly some of my favorite people in the world. I wouldn’t be who I am without both of you. Thank you for giving me an appreciation of relationships, travel, what holidays should feel like, among so many things. I love you. You have also set a great example and will be celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary in December, 2022!
Sue and Roy Kerslake
Parents of the Groom
To the mother and father of the groom: Mrs. Sue Kerslale and Mr. Roy Kerslake: Thank you for your kind words when I felt down, Thank you for that tough love just when I needed it, and thank you for always being there for me. No words are strong enough to describe the amount of gratitude and respect I have for both of you. We all know that actions speak louder than words and you both have demonstrated what it's like to be a parent, a friend, and a confidant that has hand guided and shaped me into the man I am today. I only hope that I can make you both proud to be one of two amazing sons that were created by your hand. I will do my best to pass down the knowledge and wisdom to future generations as your parents have - shout out to Pat, Bill, Ken, and Lucinda. Family is forever. With love, Michael Kerslake

As brother of the groom, I've known Mr. Todd Kerslake his entire life, growing up together, and now creating families to carry on the Kerslake name.

CJ Dutch Wessel
Groomsman
Mr. CJ "Dutch" Wessel and I first met through a mutual friend (Mr. Denny Donofrio) but we were instantly connected through our passion for motorsports. I'll always remember seeing his same model GSX-R750 in the garage. Our friendship continued to develop over weekends of adventures boating lake pleasant, ramping the ATV over the Glamis sand dunes, and of course the Cinders.
Tom Suttles
Groomsman
Mr. Tom Suttles and I first met through my great friend Mr. CJ Dutch many moons ago. As the creator of weekly Thursday "Guys Night" Tom and I both share a strong affection and intensity to socialize in group settings apart...but when you put us together, there is an undeniable resounding energy building cyclone that occurs. We can't stop it, we can't control it, but it's always FUN (by Kaskade).
