Margot is the dog-der of Chris and Tess. They are pretty much obsessed with her, particularly during quarantine when she served as an emotional support animal with all of the working from home. She enjoys volunteering at the local hospital in her free time, so it’s great that she can work this into her busy schedule!

Aunt, Uncle and Cousins of the Bride
Tess was lucky to have grown up with three wonderful cousins who acted as siblings and an amazing aunt and uncle living nearby. Tess has always looked up to and tried to emulate Jessica, and Amy has been the fun loving little sister she never had. Now their significant others Zack and Tim will continue to be an important part in both Chris and Tess’ lives. Jeff is Tess’ cousin and Carly is his bride! The two have had to rearrange their own wedding plans due to Covid-19 and are expecting a bundle of joy in the Fall! They are traveling from Colorado to celebrate, even amidst the pandemic and Tess and Chris are so thankful. Tess’ aunt and uncle Julie and Mike have always been there for her. They just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary! We join in remembering Connie, Harry and Amy.
