Officiant
I had the good fortune to meet Kent in 1996 while working at Financial Dynamics in Northern Virginia. We have shared countless cigars, attended numerous beer festivals, and explored the world's great whiskies in the years since.
Maid of Honor
Pamala and I met 18+ years ago and we have been friends ever since. We have shared many memorable moments from those that lift us up to those where we are lifting each other up. She loves my children and has been there for them during crisis situations as my stand in. She knows me through and through like no other and can always bring the calm to any craziness that occurs in my life. I can't imagine having any other person by my side during my wedding. Another memory to treasure, another moment (or two) of calmness and the best dance floor go to gal I know!!
Best Man
I met Alex while working at the U.S. Department of Commerce in 2003 and we've helped each other maintain a certain boyish zest for life ever since. In 2017, we started working together again at the company Alex helped co-found. Since I met Stephanie while working at TokenEx, one could argue that Alex is responsible for bringing us together.
Bridesmaid
My mini me..... I was blessed from heaven above when I was given the honor to birth this girl! Strong, independent, smart, kind, loving and my fierce protector. Knowing she supports my decision to marry John and wants me to be happy and feel loved, makes me feel like the most cherished mother in the world.
Groomsman
Paul and I discovered our mutual appreciation of quality music in 2008 while attending The Sword show at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. We have been to dozens of concerts since and burned more than a few cigars together. Like a true friend, Paul helped me (and two cats) move half way across the country in 2017.
Bride Escort #1
My first and definitely one of a kind! This kid is kind, funny, personable, smart and loves big! He challenges me to be a better parent every day and it's been amazing watching him grow. Without a father to escort me down the aisle, having my two boys do the honor and support this marriage is an amazing feeling.
Bride Escort #2
This boy of mine is amazing, strong, quick witted, smart and so brave. He's often my hero w/out even knowing it. Without a father to escort me down the aisle, having my two boys do the honor and support this marriage is an amazing feeling.
