John Provence

Groom

Kirsten Deaton

Maid of Honor

Kirsten and I have been best friends since we were seven years old. Soon after meeting, I transferred schools, and we never went to the same school again. However, that did not stop our friendship; I truly think it made it grow even more. Kirsten and I have been through just about everything you can imagine together and more. She is the kindest, funniest, down-to-earth, creative, and most loyal person I know. I strive to be like Kirsten every day of my life. She will make sure that you feel special every day, without even trying. I have never imagined my wedding day without her by my side, and this day will be no different.

Best Man

Mary Rose Fellers

Bridesmaid

Mary Rose is John's older sister and my soon-to-be sister-in-law (how exciting)! I have never had a sister before, and I am over the moon to be able to call someone like Mary Rose my sister. From the very first day I met her, she made me feel like family. She is one of the kindest, most thoughtful, and smartest people I know, and she shows it in everything she does. Not only is she an amazing person, but she is an amazing sister. The relationship I see between John and Mary Rose is one I hope our children will have one day. I am so grateful that she will be standing next to me on our wedding day and even more grateful for all the memories to come!

Samantha Fink

Bridesmaid

Samantha is my older cousin and the oldest of the girl cousins, who are only 3. Samantha and I have had a relationship that has felt more like sisters. We fight, laugh, share secrets, and sneak treats, and are there for each other any day and every day. She is one of the best people I know. She is ambitious, loyal, bold, and one of the kindest people I know. She has a heart of gold and is always thinking about others. We have imagined our wedding days since we were little girls, and I am unbelievably grateful that I get to have her standing next to me on mine.

Brianna Winter

Bridesmaid

Brianna and I met through John and her husband, Colten. Let's just say it was an instant friendship, for all of us really. Really, the greatest thing to come out of Columbia, SC, was meeting them. Brianna is someone for whom I do not need to explain my thought process; she just gets me. She is smart, passionate, loyal beyond words, and so thoughtful. Through all the inside jokes, weekly family calls, short weekend visits, and crushing escape rooms, we have become so close in such a short time, and I cannot imagine anyone else standing up next to me on my wedding day.

Christina Bhola

Bridesmaid

Christina and I met through work. Have you ever met someone from work and randomly started talking about your life story, and then suddenly it's wine night at someone's house? Well, that happened with Christina, and we have been friends ever since. She is my shoulder to cry on... and rant on, the person I can go to for just about anything, and I know she will be there. She is loyal, thoughtful, bold, and passionate. From the moment John asked me to marry him, I knew Christinina was going to be standing beside me on my wedding day.

Tom Bastis

Father of the Bride

Tom, father of the bride, my best friend. For anyone who knows my Dad, knows he can be a man of few words. But, boy, do his actions speak louder than words. He has always made sure that I grew up having a life filled with love and fun. He made sure to teach me to always be myself and always stand up for myself and others. I have imagined my dad walking me down the aisle on my wedding day so many times, and I am so excited that the day is finally coming. Let's just make sure that you don't let me fall, Dad.

LeAnn Abbott

Ring Bearer

LeAnn, my mother, and the one I can always count on. She is fiercely loyal to all her friends and family. She is thoughtful, bold, and brave in ways I strive to be. As a mom, it is your duty to teach your kids lessons; while she did that, she also taught me how to be a woman. How to be someone that I would look in the mirror and be proud of and love. On brides wedding day, moms get a lot of behind-the-scenes moments, but John and I wanted to make sure that my mom got to be a part of the day, rather than just some of the day, and there is no one I trust more to hold my ring for my future husband than you, Mom.
