Bridal Party
Carrie B
Maid of Honor
Hi! I’m Carrie, or better known as Gingy to Chelsey. I’ve had the absolute honor of being one of Chelsey’s best friends for the past 13 years. We met at a kingfish tournament (yes, really), bonded over a bucket of beer, and have been inseparable ever since. From taking college classes together to sharing countless laughs, adventures, and late-night talks, we’ve built a friendship full of memories I’ll always cherish. I’m so proud to stand beside her as she marries the love of her life—and I promise to keep the embarrassing stories to a minimum… for now.
Emily H
Matron of Honor
Chelsey and I met ten years ago and instantly bonded over our love for the Gators, good books, and even better wine. It’s hard to imagine a life without our friendship, and being by her side on her wedding day is truly an honor. Through the years, she’s been a constant source of laughter, support, and adventure, and I’m so grateful to have her in my life.

I once dumped an entire tub of ceviche in our Uber, and Chelsey didn’t even blink- just handed me napkins like we’d trained for this. That’s our friendship: solidarity in the chaos, fantasy books, too many plants, spoiled dogs and the kind of fun and partying that feels like a faerie rite gone slightly off-script.
Rachael S
Bridesmaid
Hi! I’m Rachael—one of Chelsey’s very lucky besties. We met bouncing between beach bars and fishing tournaments, and I’ve known Chad longer than I care to admit (kidding..Love you, Chad!). From concerts and Gasparilla shenanigans to butterbeers at Harry Potter World, our adventures have been filled with belly laughs, unforgettable memories, and just the right amount of chaos 😉. Chelsey, you are truly the most humble, kind, and thoughtful woman I know. I’m beyond honored to stand by your side on your big day—and even more honored to call you my friend. Love you so much!

Bridesman
From meeting at a wedding to standing beside you at yours—what a beautiful full circle. Our late-night card games (iykyk), endless laughter, and your lethal cocktails are just part of the story. You've never judged, only loved—and I wouldn’t change a thing. Love you, sissy.
Ashley C
Bridesman
Chelsey isn’t just my cousin, she’s been like a sister and the heart of my life since the beginning. From childhood memories to adult milestones, we’ve walked through it all together. Being asked to stand by her side as she marries the love of her life is one of the greatest honors. I couldn’t be happier to celebrate this next chapter with her.

Mitchell C
Best Man
20 years ago I met Chadly Everett Seeley and thought to myself I’m not quite sure about this kid, until the Don started bringing us food to school with his GMC top-kick. It was only a few years later when I knew we were brothers for life, as he was basically living at my house. Throughout high school my mom would tell me “why can’t you be more like Chad”…Wherever either of us went, the other was never far behind. From getting our crazy hats at Disney, to Daytona races/bike week, FAU to redneck yacht club, from Florida to California and back; I know I can always count on my brother. I clearly remember the day I knew he had thoroughly fallen for Chelsey. We were both at nana dots on a cold St. Patrick’s night, I told him to go be with her and I’ll hold nana down until you get back…didn’t come home till the next morning!! Beyond excited to have an amazing girl as Chelsey to call a sister! Love you both!! -King Philip

Chad and I have been friends for about 15 years, since we were introduced through mutual friends. He’s been my go to for all the good food spots in town and it never fails. I’ve been lucky to be a part of Chad and Chelsey’s journey, I couldn’t be happier for them both.

I met Chad 10 years ago through mutual friends and we quickly bonded over our love of fishing. From tournaments, to Gasparilla, to sandbar cruises, most of our friendship has been built on (or near) the water. Fast forward a few years… The hobbies haven’t changed but the responsibilities have. One of us is running a business and getting married… while the other is still chasing the dream of becoming a full-time pirate. GO BUCS - FIRE THE CANNONS! Chad, it’s been incredible watching you and Chelsey grow together, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. You’ve got a strong foundation and a whole crew cheering you both on. Cheers to the Seeley’s!

The shananagins all started in 6th grade for Chad and myself. From middle school, to high school, to college and now on to his wedding to marry his beautiful bride to be. It's been a heck of a ride over the past 20 years and I couldn't be more excited to be part of your wedding broski. On to the next adventure my man!

Groomsman
Met Chado in highschool tearing up the town in his Chevy avalanche and we’ve ran that dog ever since. Started off dirt biking together at Croom, which evolved into partying at the sandbar on weekends. Then into kingfish tournaments (if it’s wasn’t for Kyle App blowing a lower unit in SWFL during a Wild West tournament, we’d never be having this wedding btw) and commercial fishing trips. From 5 years straight at bike week to steal a Honda tuff block from the dirt bike track, that now sits covered in dust on display in his garage! To slowly watching Chad turn into Tom Sod himself. I couldn’t be happier to see him and Chels grow like the little slab of grass they are.

Chad and I have had some great times over the last 15+ years. From living the dream on the west coast, to last minute Miami trips. We have been through a lot together and this is still just the beginning. There is no one else I'd rather eat endless short ribs with. So happy for you and Chelsey, can’t wait to celebrate on the big day!
