Father and Mother of the Bride
Johnny and Tammi are Nikki's parents. They have been married for 28 years!! They have two daughters Nikki and Cassie. They are the proud PawPaw and MiMi to their three grandkids Jake, Taylor, and Brooke. They have both made Nikki into the woman she is today. Tammi has taught Nikki how to be a mother, by loving her family fiercely. Have you ever wondered where Nikki got that strong personality? Well, look to her mother. Tammi is a very strong woman who has taught Nikki to stand up for herself and others. Like mother like daughter. Aside from Terrance, Johnny is Nikki's best friend. Johnny has made a huge impact on Nikki. He has taught her how to be independent, what to expect from the world, how a man should treat you, how to work on a car, and gave her a great sense of humor. Nikki is the apple of Jonnny's eye..(Sorry you had to find out like this Cassie) From Nikki: Dad and Mom thank you for always being there for me even on my bad days. Thank you for guiding me through life. Thank you for supporting all my crazy dreams. Thank you for all the path speeches. Thank you for accepting me for who I was, who I am, and who I become in the future. Thank you for being a constant in my life. Thank you for everything you have done and will always continue to do for my family and myself.
Maid of Honor
Kathi is Nikki's Aunt. She has helped raise Nikki since she was born. Kathi has always been there for Nikki in a lot of ways throughout Nikki's life. Nikki has always wanted her aunt to stand by her on her wedding day. Kathi has been married to her best friend Robby for 34 years. Growing up Nikki looked up to the God-filled marriage that Kathi and Robby shared. While they will tell you it's not easy or has been perfect all these years together. They show up for each other every day. Aside from Nikki's parents Kathi and Robby have been a role model for the marriage that Nikki has prayed for. Kathi will be starting the ring warming. She will be the one to start the blessings of our rings/marriage. This will indicate that the rings are open to blessings. She will then hand the rings to the family in attendance for them to say a blessing/warm the rings. Once everyone has blessed the wedding she will pass it on to her husband Robby to say the final blessing and close the rings back forming a full warming ceremony.
Officiant
Robby is married to the beautiful Kathi Chism. He is the uncle of Nikki. When Terrance and Nikki got engaged the first thing Nikki said was "YES!!", but the second thing was..."Can my Uncle marry us?" Terrance of course agreed! Just like Kathi has been a part of Nikki's life, Robby has been too. Kathi and Robby are a package deal. Robby holds a special place in Nikki's heart. Robby and Nikki tend to get in trouble together when they are around each other. They both enjoy getting a little rise out of Kathi! Robby and Kathi have three beautiful girls, three grandbabies, and one on the way. They love their family so much.
