Diana & Cameron
Wedding Party
Tatum Hoffman
Matron of Honor
Hi my name is Tatum! Diana and I met working as Oncology Nurses six years ago. The first day I met her I remember her long red hair along with her energizer bunny spirit at 7AM and thinking to myself "who is this girl?". That same day she may or may not have accidentally poked a nursing student with a needle and then I really thought to myself "WHO IS THIS GIRL?!".... buttttttt by the end of the day, we left as best friends. Moral of the story is, crazy Diana made a crazy best friend. Since the day I met her, we have been inseparable. So inseparable that we get to share the experience of both of us getting married this year and finishing school and becoming Nurse Practitioners by the end of August. We have shared and continue to share the most special moments in life with one another. I wouldn't want to do it alongside anybody else. Diana has the biggest heart and she shines so bright because of it. I am so blessed to call her my sister, my twin, and the ying to my yang. I love her with all my heart and more and I'm so excited to get her married to the love of her life!
Derek Gard
Best Man
My name is Derek, and I am the man getting replaced by the bride! Ok, all jokes aside, I am happy for Cameron to have found Diana. Cameron and I have known each other since high school, where we ripped on dirtbikes at the race track and experienced the sweet taste of Boom’s Farm for the first time. We have always had a good time and wild adventures, and I cant wait to create new adventures with our families. Throughout our friendship, Cameron has never seemed this happy and content. I am honored to be part of their special day, and I am excited to see all that the future has in store for them.

Diana and I ended up getting hired and placed in the same New Grad program, starting our first big girl jobs as Registered Nurses together. Two girls with loud mouths, long hair and things to say about everything there was absolutely no chance for us becoming anything other than best friends. Within days of meeting each other, we thought that it would be the best idea to travel across the country to New York for EIGHT DAYS in the middle of winter. Everyone thought we were insane for planning such a long trip with someone we barely met but it was freakin’ fate that this red headed little firecracker would be in my life forever. We asked each other if there’s anything we needed to know about when I said I have night terrors and am a crazy sleeper she responded with I throw up on planes and my feet stink. It was then that I knew this friendship was going to last a lifetime. I’ve been living life, traveling and spending way too much money on shopping beside this stinky little hobbit hooved girl ever since and I wouldn’t change a thing. I have never met someone with a bigger heart or more of a fiery spirit then her. I knew when Cameron came into the picture that he was the only man with the strength, the love and the patience to hold Diana’s heart. THANK GOD he’s a firefighter because he’s going to need all the help, he can get handling her fire. I hope nothing but the best comes to these two beautiful souls but I’m not worried in the slightest. Now let’s get these two MARRIED.

What three words describe me? Beer, Freedom, Tacos. To quote the great philosopher of our time - Jeffrey M Spicoli; “All I need is some tasty waves and a cool buzz and I’ll be fine.” The first time I met Cameron was in the parking lot of a nightclub. He asked for a trash bag so he could throw up because the “whiskey wasn’t sittin’ right”. I knew right then we would were best friends. I am both honored and excited to be a part of such a momentous occasion.

Bridesmaid
Despite growing up on separate continents, Diana is one of my oldest and dearest friends. From the day that 8-year old Diana came knocking on our door when I was visiting my Dad in California, asking if I could “come out to play” we remained inseparable during my bi-annual trips from the UK - even in between we would write to each other using good old fashioned pen and paper! I have shared countless wonderful memories with Diana and watched her grow up into the strong, intelligent and beautiful woman she is today! Even though Covid has limited the time I have spent getting to know Cameron so far, during the time I have known him I have learned that we have the important things in common: a love for great food, great wine and of course, Diana! I’m so looking forward to sharing their special day with them both and experiencing my first American wedding!

Hi Everyone, My name is Eric, and I get the distinct honor of knowing Cameron since we were both in Huggies. This also means that I may bring the most positive and potentially embarrassing moments of his past thirty-two years to their wedding day. All joking aside my wife and our three kids are beyond excited for Cameron and Diana and I am honored to play a part in their special day. The future is nothing but bright for these two and we are excited to see it all unfold! See you all in November!!
