Tara & Nelson
Wedding Party
Alexa Marie
Maid of Honor
This woman has not been in my life for long, but I feel like she is my little sister. We have been there for each other for both good and bad days. She is an inspiration to me and keeps me going on bad days.
Mandee Bengel
Bridesmaid
When we first met we clicked instantly. I knew we were destine to be great friends. You are so strong and I love how you always speak your mind!
Ellie Osborn
Bridesmaid
You welcomed me into the crazy group of UK ETIDiots with open arms, I am so very lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for always being so kind!
Ellie Morgan
Bridesmaid
First words to this beautiful woman "Please don't hit me, but you really look and sound like Billie Piper" LOL. Nelson told me how much of a hard ass you were and I was so intimidated to speak to you. Now I feel like we could tell each other everything.
Natalie Renton
Bridesmaid
We only got to meet in person once, but boy was I lucky. I will always take care of you no matter what. Thank you for being there even when you are so far away.
Sawyer Kost
Bridesmaid/Wedding Planner
Word can't express how grateful I am to have Ad-mom in my life. You are always so supportive and don't take any shit. You are so strong and I have so much to learn from you. Thank you for everything you are doing and you will do in your future!
Allison Brittain
Officiant
I got to meet you for the first time right after you had little Harper. You welcomed us into your home and made us dinner. It is an honor to have you bring Nelson and I together. We love you!-I could not find a picture of me, you and Nelson so I put one of Nik & Harper
Shaun Griffen
Best Man
My brother for almost 20 years, from hanging around doing hoodrat stuff to now hanging out with his daughters, i wouldn't trade our friendship for anything. Without him I wouldn't have met Tara. "Its those lazy days And the hazy days And the days we get stoned for just days and days Its amazing when we get to live this way, like every day is a holiday"
Mathew Pomakayla
Best Man
Mat has known me longer than most of my boys, through thick and thin, we have always come together for a bad ass show some dancing and debauchery. First to act when a punch is thrown at me, or vice versa. Road has been bumpy over the last 20+ years, but you have always stuck with me, from local shows to shitmas, man we have seen em all. We have seen ETID soo many times and he brought me to the Etidiot facebook group where i met my family and forever I will be in his debt for that. "Nobody takes pictures of the drummer" will always make me look around for Mat because that's our jam. NJHC TIL WE DIE
Nik Palmer
Best Man
If 3 years ago someone would have told me my best friend literally in the entire world would be 9 years younger than me to the day and from Doncaster, England, I would have said you are nuts. Well fast forward to March 2018, Nik made the trip over to the states for some Every Time I Die shows, one of those was the long island date and I knew i had to make it, so i sneakily bought a ticket and planned to drive out and meet him because I did not know when I would get the chance. He made the Hartford date by chance and met Tara and it was a wrap. He is my brother, missing him makes me cry, seeing him makes me kiss him. I love him. "But the blood in the water Is the blood of my brother We both learned it didn't mean a thing in the end if one was thicker than the other" BIG MOSH!
Ben Morgan
Groomsman
Met ben in Long Island for my first ETID show with the ETIDIOTS, immediately we hit it off, unfortunately for him he had to deal with my wild mouth running in the group. He reeled me back many times, put me in my place a few times when it was needed, he is one of the main reasons I have spent the last year and a half trying to be a better person from his example. Ben is one of the best guys i know, within days of meeting us, Him and Ellie invited us to their wedding party in NYC from the stag do to wandering NYC late into the night drunk after, it was one of the best times of my life. He is one of my brothers now and he is stuck with me forever so of course I want him to be by my side on my special day. "Savor IT!"
Jay Rage
Groomsman
Rage is one of my favorite people in the whole world. They make me incredibly happy when they are near me. I needed a truly special person to take the place of my sister Becky, and RAGE is the only one ive met that could do it for me. Their heart, humor, and smile is the best. I cannot wait to have them their to bust my chops the whole time. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Adam Phillip
Groomsman
This silly south jersey hardcore kid has quickly become one of my best friends and has introduced me to the best people from his life. Adam is a real one always there for me, always down to throw some windmills and spinkicks, always can make me smile. Our time in cali going to see The Ghost Inside comeback show was so special especially once i found him dancing with the biggest smile on his face which if you know him you know its gigantic like his heart. He will be one of the boys for life. "All the world's a cage and we are animals pounding at the glass" NJHC
Bret Peters
Groomsman
LISTEN HERE MEAN GENE! THIS IS MY BROTHER HAILING FROM BUFFALO, NY BY WAY OF STATEN ISLAND. BRET PETERS IS THE BEST THERE IS THE BEST THERE WAS AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE! Brother Bret will do a run in for anyone he knows to save em from getting pounded. He is one of the best guys I have ever met, wether hanging at show or shooting the breeze about some wrasslin, he always warms my cold heart. He makes me think about things a whole different wat always and challenges me on my way of thinking, i love him for that and his love of KISS. "I feel so good, I'm so alive I hear my song playin' on the radio"
Dave Leone
Ring Bearer
Dave leone is pretty much my dad from the group, he always looks out for me, I never will know why but he does and I love him for that. Dave and me first met and pretty much tongue kissed each other immediately, I am pretty sure he infected me with something, but since that day he has always had my back. He has the biggest heart and is the most giving person I have ever met. So its fitting he is going to give me the ring to put on Tara's finger. Every time we are together it always a blast. I cannot wait for all the future memories. "I've been living under the gun and it's taking aim For all the hearts of the faithful, the blinded, the weakest minded, the ones who can't speak"
