Kelli & Scott
Wedding Party
Brandie
Matron of Honor
As Kelli's sister, Brandie was a natural choice for Matron of Honor (sorry about the matron part LOL!) however, their close relationship is the real reason for the selection! Kelli's favorite memory with Brandie: "During a family trip Sissy and I were hanging out in the hotel and opened a bottle of wine to share, after a glass or so we were hungry (naturally). Jeff had a bag of these little sausages, and offered them up. An interesting combo but it ended up being a good one! True to our inappropriate sense of humor this snack time was then dubbed "Wine and Wieners!" Which has now become somewhat of a staple and an inside joke for sure! Enjoy a photo of the first official "Wine and Wieners" night."
Landon
Groomsman
At 8 years old Landon is our oldest child, and is definitely one of the best things in our lives. Scott wanted nothing more than to have his eldest son stand next to him on our special day! Scott's favorite with Landon: “I remember Landon’s first Kindergarten drop off. He had zero fear, declined any help and having me walk him to class. All of a sudden it was like he was all grown up. I was proud and sad at the same time.” Scott’s favorite things about Landon: "I like how hard Landon works at everything he tries. Also, I like that Landon likes all of the weird seafood that Kelli doesn't like." Landon's favorite thing about Scott: "Cuddles."
Erin
Bridesmaid
Erin and Kelli went to high school together. They really became close during their time in choir and have been best friends ever since. Kelli’s favorite memory with Erin: “Junior year of high school Erin and I planned to go to the prom with our perspective dates. However, due to unforeseen circumstances BOTH of our dates didn’t pan out. (Probably a good thing lol!) Determined to not to let our dresses, tickets and excitement go to waste we decided to go to prom together! I even picked her up in my dad’s fancy car; I’m such a gentleman! However, during the evening I ended up getting really sick, like full blown fever! We had to leave early, but ended up hanging out at Erin’s house watching a movie. Despite the hiccups we had a great night! By the way, sorry there will be no llamas Erin!”
Jeff
Groomsman
Jeff is Scott’s younger brother. He is very proud and happy to have Jeff stand beside him on our special day! Scott’s favorite memory with Jeff: “When we were kids we went up north to play in the snow; and while we were up there Kevin was picking on me and Jeff pretty good. So, Jeff and I devised a plan that I would tackle Kevin and Jeff would hit him with a snowball. But, what Jeff actually hit him with was a big old chunk of ice. The plan was very successful, Kevin was much nicer the rest of the trip. However, my mom was not happy with Kevin’s bloody nose.”
Taren
Bridesmaid
#soulmates Taren and Kelli have been friends for about 8 years now. They met through their shared love for dogs. Although Kelli describes Taren has so flakey she needs some Head & Shoulders Taren always comes through to save the day and be the good luck charm! Kelli's favorite memory with Taren: "When I lived in Winslow Taren came to visit me. Taren drove 3 hours to sit on my couch with me and we drank Mimosas and watched a Criminal Minds marathon. We literally did nothing but hang out and talk the whole time she was there. I think it says a lot about a friendship when you can literally do nothing at all and it is still one of your favorite times. I purposely chose a tame memory... you're welcome! Also, I warned Taren about that photo coming back!"
Jackson
Groomsman
Scott has known Jackson all of his life... Yep, all 6 years of it! He's our youngest kiddo and is one of the most important people in Scott's life. So naturally, he couldn't think of anyone better to stand next to him on our special day. Scott’s favorite memory with Jackson: “Jackson is such a Daddy’s boy. I remember picking him up from his grandparents’ house after work. As soon as I walked into the house he wanted nothing to do with anyone else. He was completely attached to my hip.” Scott's favorite thing about Jackson is: "His love for others." Jackson's favorite thing about Scott is: "Everything."
Ami
Bridesmaid
After over 20 years of friendship, Ami and Kelli have certainly seen many seasons in each other's lives, and Kelli couldn't imagine this day without her! Kelli's favorite memory with Ami: "While there are many, many, options for this share I think I will narrow it down to Vegas in general. Ami and I like Pitbull, we have seen him many times, but I think our favorite place to see him is in Vegas. Although, the difference in the experiences that had several years one thing remains the same... We both can't hang and spend 90% of our time in Vegas napping and eating in our hotel room. The first time we went we were broke 21 year-old kids eating hotdog sandwiches, the last time Ami was a new mom who peed her pants dancing to Pitbull.. correction, Ami peed MY pants she borrowed. LOL!"
Kevin
Groomsman
Kevin is Scott’s older brother; he’s so happy to have him up there next to him on our special day! Scott’s favorite memory with Kevin: “When we were in high school we were having a bonfire in the backyard and had some friends over. And we decided to see what we could explode into the bonfire. So, what started with 2 liter bottles of soda ended with a giant explosion due to an Axe Deodorant spray can. The blast ended up shaking the entire house! Our reaction… run and hide and wait for things to blow over.”
Reagan
Junior Bridesmaid
Reagan is Kelli’s niece (Brandie’s daughter). They’ve always shared a special bond and always have a great time together! During the summer Tuesdays were Auntie Kelli and Reagan days and they were their favorite day of the week! Kelli’s favorite memory with Reagan: “During an Auntie Kelli and Reagan Tuesday we were playing a game called “Speak Out.” This game has these plastic things you put in your mouth like you’re basically at the dentist and you have to read a card aloud and the other players have to guess what you’re saying. It’s already hilarious, but during her turn she laughed and the mouthpiece came flying out of her mouth and smacked into my arm making spit fly! We laughed so hard! I even got that one on video! Still makes me laugh when I think about it.”
Judy “Mama D”
Officiant
As many of you may know, we originally met in high school where we were in choir together. Mama D, as we affectionately call her, was our choir teacher. But she was so much more than that. When we first got engaged the one thing we quickly agreed upon was our desire for Mama D to marry us. You see, she was one of the most influential teachers (and people in general) in both of our lives. She wasn’t just an instructor; she was an additional mother to us. She helped us navigate through some of the most challenging years of our lives. We are so blessed to have continued a relationship with her and as even more blessed to have her marry us. A quick favorite memory: On tour, in Hawaii, head banging to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody… with Mama D!
Gideon
Ring Bearer
Gideon is our youngest nephew. He’s a year old, and is such a happy little man. He has been volunteered to serve as our Ring Bearer; he just started walking, so we shall see how this goes! Favorite memory is pictured… he really just wanted a piece of kettle corn!
Joanna
Flower Girl
Little JoJo is our youngest niece. We are so excited to have her join our special day as our flower girl! We haven’t met her yet due to living in different states, but are SO excited to finally see her and give her hugs! We can’t wait!
