Tracy Jane & Vito
V.I.P.
Bueno
Father of the Bride
This is my Daddio, my rock! He is the kindest, most gentle man who is loving, patient, tough, and my adventure buddy! I always do my best to be more like him! He has taught me how to keep up with the boys, stand on my own two feet, and be a strong independent woman. From beach volleyball, to mountain biking, to skiing, to hiking the highest peaks, and golfing, he knows how to play hard, have a good time, and squeeze every drop from life.
Marty
Mother of the Bride
My Mama Doll! This is the mama bear who loves us kids so fiercely. She is my absolute best friend who is there for me, no matter what. She is a killer tennis and volleyball player, active hiker, so creatively crafty and loves any and every card game. This woman has taught me to be confident, compassionate, and free and I am who I am because of her. I hope to one day love my kids and be as selfless and she is. You will recognize her as the one who owns the dance floor all night long!
Hank, Daisy & Milo Moon
Brother of the Bride + Fam
Hanko! He is my oldest brother. He is the one that would bribe me to unload the dishwasher, or take off his shoes, and never pay up- but would also drop anything help me any day of the week. He is so smart and tech savvy (it's not even fair) and graduated with his Masters in Photography and Fine Arts. He lives in Wyoming with his beautiful wife Daisy, and their newest addition, Milo Moon. Daisy is an intuitive yogi, a bad ass skier, warm, and loyal to those she loves. Both he and Daisy work at WWCC, him as a professor of photography, and her as a counselor. Their little one, Mr. Milo Moon, is the happiest, smiliest little joy you'll every meet. Please get low and gator with Hank on the dance floor when the band plays SHOUT! P.S. You owe me a lot of dollars.
Drew, Chelsea, Lyla & Zach
Brother of the Bride + Fam
Drewski! He's the middle brother, and the one who probably instigated my Barbie car getting wrapped in foil with rockets on the back. He is passionate, and intelligent, and so dang funny. He is a hands-on dad to his two littles, Lyla Jane and Zach, and can make them laugh til they get belly aches. His incredible wife, Chelsea, who he met at Cal Poly, is so fun, clever, and is so kind to everyone she meets. Her family is big time fruit farmers in the California Central Valley, growing the most delicious stone fruit (Sorry GA, but it's true...) and Drew has expanded them into table grapes also. You'd better stay on the dance floor all night, because I bet at some point Drew and Tracy will have a dance off. You won't want to miss it...
Lyla Jane
Flower Girl
My lil' Lyla Jane holds my whole heart! She is my little sidekick best friend, and I wish everyone could be as sweet and fun as her. She's quite the lil' ripper on skis, has awesome dance moves, and endless colorful drawings. We share a love for reading, although she is more of a night owl and stays up late, reading in bed with her headlamp on. I love this girl with everything that I am, and am so happy to share our day with my munchkin.
Zachary
Ring Bearer
Zachy! This lil firecracker is the most joyful lil' guy you'll ever meet! He is energetic, loves all things superhero, and always has the biggest smile on his face. He's big into biking, scootering, snowmobiling, and soon enough (fingers crossed) skiing! His smile is contagious and it makes you want to have as much fun as he's having. This lil dude with a heart of gold is one of a kind.
Linda
Mother of the Groom
Probably one of the best cooks I know! Mom always found a way to have a home cooked meal for us growing up which facilitated some of the most lively dinner table entertainment / discussions. We have enjoyed many hours together watching cooking shows, Guys Grocery Games, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. In my younger days you could find her on the sidelines holding the first down chains yelling 'WAY TO GO VITO!!!" when I made a good play. At the wedding you'll be able to locate her on the front row, most likely crying her eyes out. She has always been a huge fan of mine and has never shrugged off her dedication as a mother. Now she gets to cheer on a new member of the team, Tracy Jane, which I know she couldn't be more pleased about!
Tom
Father of the Groom
For those of you who have all ready met my father (T.P.) what can I say in 800 words or less that would aptly describe him? For those of you who haven't, do yourself a favor and make it a point to tell him hello. He'll be the loud one with the thick NY accent. My father is extremely outgoing and loves to make people smile even if its at his own expense. His example has taught me to always stay in a positive mindset no matter the situation. He's one of the most talented people I know and the one I go to when I need advice in business, discuss sports/music or need help figuring out a crossword clue. There will be a baby grand piano at the wedding, so if you hear an Elton John, Billy Joel, or Allman Brothers tune echoing through the house just know he has found his happy place!
Dick Blevins
Step-father
I've had some good times with Dick. He was the one who introduced me to the great out doors. We'd go camping and catch fish for dinner and cook them over the fire. He taught me how to shoot guns and how to respect the land. I've spend many a cold morning in the deer stand with him and enjoyed doing it!
Thomas, Heather, & Emma
Brother of the Groom + Fam
My unique, protective, hilarious, big brother. Since we were children, Thomas has always had the ability to make me laugh and is probably one of the most generous people I know. As kids we would build jumps for our bikes, forts and would have a few BB gun fights which have left us with a BB or two lodged in our feet and necks. We shared one of the darkest rooms on the planets growing up. Thomas would keep me flinching throughout the night because I never knew when a penny would be flicked at me, or a sock soaked in old spice cologne would land on my face! Childhood with Thomas was never dull and adulthood has been no exception. Thomas is an incredible businessman. But most importantly, has proven to be one of the best Dad's I know. He's married to an incredible woman, Heather.
Katie, Clint, & S, M, G!
Sister of the Groom + Fam
Katie and Clint have three beautiful children: Sam, Makayla and Gabriel! (The names were too long for the title, sorry!) Katie is a very strong woman, awesome mother, and best little sister EVER! You should ask her how I used to audit her outfits before we went to school or maybe about her "hotdog bangs" :) I quick tidbit about Katie.... she has to be one of the worst biker riders on the planet. If it has two wheels, don't let her ride it. I think I've seen her on the ground more times than in the seat (no telling how many concussions she has endured). On the other hand, Katie has always been there for me when I needed advice and has picked me up several times when life has kicked me off my bike! Which she is well suited for given the fact that she has her Psychology and Nursing degrees.
