Brian and Tabitha
Wedding Party
Brian
Groom
Hello. I'm Brian, the groom. I'm a software engineer by trade and all-around nerd, but mostly I'm the luckiest man on earth. I'm privileged to be marrying a truly amazing woman. An unspecified number of years ago, in a high school chemistry class, I met an amazing girl. While we became fast friends, I was too oblivious to realize just how amazing she was, and way to awkward to move things beyond friendship. After high school we went our separate ways, but perhaps by fate (or the power of social media) we managed to reconnect while in college. We dated for a while, but once again life took us in different directions. Despite many years apart, we managed to find each other once again. It’s been a long road, but I am so happy to be marrying my love, my life, my person, Tabitha.
Tabitha
Bride
Hi! My name is Tabitha. I'm the bride! A little bit about me, divorced with a 7-year old daughter, Cailtin, who is my world. I was not expecting to open my world a little bit wider, but privileged to do so. Nothing about us or our relationship has been "normal". We started with a long distance relationship and decided to move a completely different state to start our lives together, and we decided to get married in yet another completely different state. Our mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where neither of us have been before. I'm so excited for our loved ones to join in this adventure with us.
Stuart Bell
Best Man
Hello, I'm Stuart, Brian's Dad. I met Tabitha, once, a long time ago when she and Brian were attending college in California. But, like Brian, I didn't see her again until late summer of 2023 when we went to a barbecue at Brian's old house in Chandler. I am honored to have been chosen as best man at his wedding. I look forward to celebrating Brian and Tabitha's special day in October of 2025.
Chelcee Brown
Matron of Honor
Hello, my name is Chelcee. I am a wife to my husband, Christian, and a mother to my 5-yr old little boy, Creed. I am Tabitha's little sister by marriage. 23 years ago, we met, and I was no longer the girl of the family. It was then I realized what having a big sister was like. From the hairbrush karaoke days singing the Coyote Ugly soundtrack, to now, the days where we go have mom's night out. I am blessed with how close our relationship has grown as adults and it's an honor to be standing next to Tabitha as her Matron of Honor on her wedding day to Brian.
Caitlin Hagans
Flower Girl
My name is Caitlin, and I’m 7 years old. My mom is the bride. I'm excited to be the flower girl and ring bearer. I'm also excited about the food and the hotel I get to stay in for the wedding. Some of my favorite things are: puppies, animals, Kuromi, corgis, being home, my family, gummies, Christmas, and my birthday.
