Wedding Party
Therese DeFlippo
Bride
Hello, I am the bride :)
Joel Dickson
Groom
I am the lucky guy marrying the beautiful bride.
Kelsey DeFlippo
Maid of Honor
This is Therese's favorite person in the entire world, her best friend and little sister. They are practically inseparable. After sharing a room the first 21 years of her life, it makes it hard not to be :)
Bharath
Best Man
Joel met Bharath playing soccer freshman year in high school..while on the team they didn't like each other. Soon after though they became best friends and have stayed that way since High-School.
Mackenzie Abramson
Maid of Honor
This is Therese's best friend, Mackenzie. They met right around High school graduation, when she was trying to date Therese's brother...haha I guess she liked Therese better because they have been best friends since.
Johnathon Dickson
Groomsman
This is Joel's brother. Joel and Johnathon did almost everything together growing up, including playing all kinds of games (with lots of profanity added in for effect, especially during an intense video game of Mario Cart). Currently Joel is trying to beat Johnathon on the golf course, though it hasn't happened yet.
Ashley Eels
Bridesmaid
This is the longest friend that Therese has had. Ashley has been one of Therese's best friends since High school. They me sophomore year through Therese's brother, during our rebellious phase. We had many fun nights together, but have both tamed out and still stayed good friends.
Trevor Meadows
Groomsman
Joel met Trevor in Middle School through Travis. Since Trevor has a great work ethic and is smart, he was a lead man along with the Dickson crew working on construction job's for Joel's dad's pool construction company throughout High School summers. People (Joel is one of those) think Trevor looks like Brad Pitt but you can judge that on May 27th 2018...just don't be too obvious about it.
Alexandra Waldren
Bridesmaid
Therese worked with Alex at Ace Hardware for four years. Trust me, Therese didn't work at Ace for the money, she stayed there for the people that she worked with, especially this girl.
Travis Tubandt
Groomsman
Joel met Travis in 6th grade, that same year they also ended up on the same Bel Passi Baseball team. It must have been fate because Joel ended up becoming best friends with Travis and then in turn became best friends with Travis' friends (Trevor, Ben, Nathan and Trent). Once Joel met these cool guys, Joel ditched his other group of friends (don't feel bad for them, they probably didn't like Joel anyway).
Catalina Roja
Bridesmaid
Cat is another girl that Therese worked with at Ace Hardware. Cat kept work entertaining. They don't work together anymore, but have stayed really good friends, and always will.
Ben Narvage
Groomsman
Joel met Ben in Seventh grade at Somerset Middle School through Trevor Meadows. Ben is a really smart dude, he is a rocket scientist..and that's not a joke.
Tarah Marshall
Bridesmaid
This is Therese's cousin, Tarah. Tarah, Therese and Kelsey (Therese's sister) have some great memories together, whether its growing our granfather's hair with corn (trust me it's possible), all wearing the same most gorgeous dresses ever on Easter (and Christmas) or going to the bars in San Diego ;)
Jake Taylor
Groomsman
Joel met Jake Freshman year in High-School through Bharath (these two were best buds). One memorable event Joel and Jake did together was go fishing for Bass on Jake's dad's boat and they caught quite a few big fish. Jake is now a Pharmacist, basically a nemesis of a Chiropractor, but Joel hasn't brought this up with Jake yet..so please don't tell him.
Cierra Dickson
Bridesmaid
This is Joel's sister in law, and soon to be Therese's as well! Cierra joined the family a few years ago officially.
CJ DeFlippo
Groomsman
He would be a maid of honor as well, but he wouldn't look that good in a dress. This is my brother, and my other favorite person in the whole world ;)
Michele DeFlippo
Mother of the Bride
This is Therese's mom, Michele. This is one of the most amazing women in the whole world. She works like 50 jobs and somehow was able to raise Therese and her 2 siblings. This lovely lady is going to be doing all the decorations for the wedding, so make sure you tell her that everything looks beautiful, especially the bride ;)
Jan Dickson
Mother of the Groom
This is Joel's mom. She is one of those mom's that will do anything for her children and was a strong influence on Joel becoming educated and becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic. What's better than Love with intelligence?
Chris DeFlippo
Father of the Bride
This is Therese's dad, Chris. He has a huge heart and is one of the most important men in Therese's life. We're sure he will be crying walking Therese down the aisle.
Jim Dickson
Father of the Groom
This is Joel's dad. He was the hardest working male figure in Joel's life growing up and set a great example for Joel of what it takes to be great at something and what it means to work hard. He also was Joel's and Johnathon's Baseball coach growing up, flipping the role of head coach every other year for his two kids.
