Wedding Party

Christina Clark

Maid of Honor

Ohhhhhh, the sister. While Christina lives just about as far away as you can while staying in the USA, she has been there for DaVena through everything in my life. Christina helped get her through college with her constant support, answers her calls whenever I need someone to talk to (even during a Celine Dion concert), and has helped push her through some of the toughest times of life. Although the typical role of Main of Honor doesn't quite apply in this event, Christina was the one by DaVena's side at the official wedding on June 29, 2020.

Nicole Kefalas

Bridesmaid

Once DaVena met Nicole, after getting hired at CHS, she knew that Nicole would be one of "her people." Nicole puts things into a perspective for DaVena that helps her see the world more holistically and keeps her from staying in my head too much. Without Nicole, DaVena would have had a lot more self doubt these last four years would have. She helps lift her up while keeping me grounded. The COVID closure has changed how they interact and how often they get to see each other, but Nicole remains one of the people that DaVena turns to.

Bree Youngberg

Bridesmaid

While she calls DaVena her emotional support animal, Bree has been her rock through everything she has explored professionally and personally in the last four years. From running a show with around 450 students four years in a row to working to create a new program in a field that they're both unfamiliar with, they have both growth with each other professionally. Outside of the work realm, having someone who understands my anxiety has been an absolute blessing. Bree has been an ear whenever I need one and keeps my struggles with anxiety grounded. While Bree is unable to attend this rescheduled event, DaVena still wants everyone to know how incredible her previously-scheduled bridesmaid is. Bree will also still be represented at the party, because she is making the cupcakes!
