Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

Tessa & Eldon

Steph is guaranteed to be the first on the dance floor, and the last to leave it. As Tessa’s sister, she has been through all of life’s ups, downs, and all-arounds, and they share a bond like no other.

Stephanie DeLong

Kalee is Tessa’s younger sister, who was also the co-conspirator of all high school shenanigans, so of course she will hold the bouquet and be by Tessa’s side as MoH.

Kalee (DeLong) Adams

Tessa sure lucked out in the sister-in-law department! Abby has a big heart, and instantly welcomed Tessa into the family. The two have shared many laughs at family cookouts, and look forward to many more.

Abby (Mackinson) Mays

Future SIL, and the one Tessa comes to for all things baby poop related. Loni is a fountain of knowledge and laughter, Tessa is so happy to have Loni by her side on this special day.

Loni (Mackinson) Herzog

Single and ready to mingle (after bridesmaid duties, of course!), Bayli will be making the trip from Cali to tear up the dance floor and hold Tessa’s hair, as she has for years.

Bayli Doubet

Tessa and Cindy met on a leadership trip in college, and the two soon became close friends. A fan of crazy dogs and shower beers, Cindy is in charge of being the life of the party!

Cindy Allen

So. Much. Vodka. Tessa and Nicole have been friends for many years, and have thankfully put their svedka days behind them.

Nicole Dunning

Brother of the groom, Rayme and Eldon shared a room growing up. Rayme showed Eldon how to not sneak out of the house successfully.

Rayme Mackinson

Phil and Eldon have been friends since grade school. From living a JD gator ride away from each other as kids, to stumbling out of Kam's at 2 am, Phil and Eldon have seen it all.

Phillip Rich

Oldest brother and sibling of the Mackinson clan, Jesse has been a life long role model to Eldon.

Jesse Mackinson

Book ‘em, Dano! Second oldest brother to Eldon, Dan is major influence to the wild and spontaneous side of the groom.

Daniel Mackinson

Jacob and Eldon became friends at the AGR fraternity at the U of I. Eldon and Kob shared a passion for gameday drinking and activities.

Jacob Wyffels

Dustin and Eldon were also AGR fraternity brothers at the U of I. Dustin is one of the key contributors to the groom's appreciation of whiskey. A jolly fellow, Dustin sure knows how to be the life of a party!

Dustin Aylesworth

Travis another good friend from AGR at the University of Illinois. Travis is an exceptional road trip pal for the many vacations spent together. Eldon has always enjoyed Travis's straightforward answers, to be quite frank.
