Wedding Party

Tessa Inloes

Bride

Bartley Jeannoute

Groom

Brynne Rondinelli

Maid of Honor

Brynne and Tessa met in a far-off land called "The Mall". They instantly hit it off, becoming fast friends, working together in multiple stores, and going off on after-closing adventures. They saw each other move out of their parent's homes, cried on many couches together, laughed til their cheeks and bellies hurt, and built an unbreakable bond. Tessa is honored to call Brynne her maid of honor and a true friend. She'll be the one crying through a whole box of tissues.

Jonathan Wessel

Best Man

Timeout! Jon and I became fast friends on the sidelines while coaching boys' basketball and as first-year middle school teachers. Our shared love of basketball, sneakers, and good food solidified a bond that helped to grow the basketball program, but more importantly, a lasting friendship. Jon's attention to detail, supportive and sincere optimism, and world-class halftime pep talks earned him this spot on the roster!

Ana Zeneli

Bridesmaid

Ana and Tessa met in 7th-grade chorus class and there hasn't been a day they weren't friends since. Tessa was immediately adopted by Ana's family coining the nickname Tesla by Ana's dad. She spent many nights having dinner with the Zeneli family and becoming a part of their family. When Ana moved away Tessa made sure to keep in contact and travel to wherever Ana's adventures took her. Tessa is so excited to have Ana be a part of her big day. She'll be the one dancing the night away into the afterparty!

Kenneth Petiote

Groomsman

Part-time travel buddy, part-time personal photographer, and fellow foodie, but full-time family! First cousins by birth but as close as brothers, Kenny and I have shared many memories and adventures. Being one of the first people to know about my engagement plans, he quickly volunteered to capture the special moment. Grateful and excited to have him with me on the big day.

Cara Washington

Bridesmaid

Cara is Tessa's "twin" cousin. They were born a month apart from each other so they spent their early days growing up together. They were dressed in matching easter dresses as toddlers and doted on by their older cousins at the beach. Bonding over Harry Potter and playing dress-up. Later to become obsessed with musical theatre, singing show tunes throughout their grandparent's home. Tessa is thrilled for Cara to be a part of her wedding and continue lifelong memories.

Jamar Thigpen

Groomsman

If ever I use the line "this one time at camp," brace yourself for some ridiculous (but likely true) story involving Jamar. After three summers, countless shenanigans, and more ice cream sandwiches than I'd like to admit, Jamar and I have grown close. He's a loyal and dear friend who has buoyed me through tough times and is quick to celebrate our accomplishments.
