Tyler & Gabrielle
THE Wedding Party
Tyler Dean
Groom
Ty is unlike any other man I have ever met. He leads me closer to Jesus and encourages me to be better every single day. I cannot wait to see him thrive as a husband and eventually as a dad. August 28th is going to be an absolute dream and it will be so special sharing the big day with all of you. -Goobers
Gabrielle Judith
Bride
For most people her name is Gabi, but for me she is my Goobs or Goober. SOOO what can I say about the Goober that people do not already know. You can tell Goobs has entered the room because the whole atmosphere and rooms drifts her way. You can always know where she is by her laugh and the way she brightens up everybody around her. Gabi's heart is pure, and kind. She loves Puppies, Babies, and Chick-fil-a. With all that being said, Gabrielle I can't wait to marry you... I love you!! -Ty Dean xoxo
Thomas Brook
Best Man
Ty first met his lifelong partner, Thomas "Tommy Cat" when they were just in preschool. We have spent countless hours playing videos games, baking cakes with diet coke, ruining pool tables (sorry Pat and Tammy), and just living like brothers. I can't wait to have him by his side during this big day!
Denise Nunley
Matron of Honor
Not only does she fill the role of Mother of the Bride but I have the pleasure of having her stand next to me on my wedding day. She is the life of the party and everyone knows when she walks into the room because she is the brightest light! I am incredibly lucky to have her as a mother and a best friend and my wedding is going to be extra special because of her.
Jordan Hegel
Groomsman
I first met Jordan "Jordy" Hegel through Thomas in high school. Jordy and I once ran a boat out of gas in the middle of the lake and without a boat in sight and with there being no cell phone service, we both jumped into the lake, tied a rope around there life vests, and proceeded to try and pull/ swim their way back to shore. I'm super excited for him to be by my side when I marry my best friend.
Holly Benscoter
Bridesmaid
Holly and I started going to the same church when we were in high school. It took about a year for us to become close but ever since we have been inseparable. For those who don't know her, she is the kindest (and cutest) human being you will ever meet! She will do anything for the people she loves and forgive quicker than anyone I have ever met. I am better because of her and cannot wait to have her stand by my side.
Kevin Beck
Groomsman
I first met Kevin "Woody" Beck when I showed up the first time to Inhabit young adult group. Ever since, we have been playing monopoly, having laughs, and debating if soccer is a real sport (which it is obviously not). Kevin is one of the members of the Hot Husbands of Scottsdale and couldn't imagine him not being apart of this special day.
Julia Beck
Bridesmaid
J always deserves to be bragged about! Even though I have only known her for a few years, she has been such a blessing in my life. We both have a love for chicken nuggets, warm blankets, and fluffy dogs. She has taken a lot of the responsibilities the Matron of Honor would take on without questioning or complaining and I am extremely thankful for her! I couldn't imagine our big day without her standing next to me.
Blair Tushaus
Groomsman
Circle, open description of Blair Tushaus Blair "The Mayor" Tushaus may look like he can rip you in half, but rest assured he is teddy bear at heart. Blair loves a good time, a good beer (usually a Montucky Cold Snack) and a good laugh. Blair, like Kevin, is the final member of the Hot Husbands of Scottsdale. I seriously can't wait to have this big next to me!
Desi Tushaus
Bridesmaid
As one of my closest friends and a member of the real housewives of Scottsdale, I have learned that Desirae is the kindest soul on this earth and I am so blessed to have to her in my life. It's not easy to be the wife of Blair but she does it so well. My life is better off because she is in it and I am so lucky to have her standing by my side.
Daniel Lutz
Groomsman
I first met Daniel "Danny" Lutz through Gabi, and we had a connection right off the bat. Not only is Danny a good looking fella, he swings from both sides of the plate...in baseball. Danny is just one of those guys that you want to be around, and I am super excited for him being up there next to me on this wonderful day.
Amanda Almeida
Bridesmaid
What a joy it has been to watch Amanda grow into the woman she is today. As my only girl cousin on my mom's side, we have spent many nights singing American Idol Karaoke, watching cheesy Hallmark movies, and attempting to bake random pinterest recipes. As we grow older, the more I realize how important she is to me and how she will always be the closest thing I have to a sister. I am so thankful for her and always knew she would be standing next to me on my wedding day!
Nick Malinasky
Groomsman
Nick "Mustache" Malinasky and myself first hung out bonding and talking over baseball at a Zipps bar and grill. Right off the bat I felt bad for the guy, I mean come on he a Tigers fan, how can you not feel bad. Nick is a stud of a slow-pitch pitcher, he throws a wicked 8ft arc! Nick will always be there for you, and I am super excited to be able to have in up standing next to me!
Savannah Almeida
Bridesmaid
I have known Savannah through volleyball since Freshman year of highschool. We lost connection for a few years but thanks to my cousin making the best decision of his life, he married her and brought her into our family (and now with little Tate on the way). She has been such a wonderful bonus to the family and I am so thankful to have her back into my life. I look forward to building our lives side by side and sharing all of our milestones with one another.
Thomas Nunley
Groomsman
I first met Thomas "T-Bone" Nunley through Gabi. As the brother of the bride I HAD to like the guy. I’ll never forget going to the Suns game with him, and having him just yell the entire night that Rudy Gobert was just “TALL”. Thomas is a great dude, and I am super excited for him to be next to me during this wonderful day.
Maria Feliciano
Bridesmaid
I met Maria the same day my brother met her when he took her to the restaurant I was working at for their first date. He thought I wouldn't be there because I was coaching volleyball at the time but I decided to work that night and foiled his plans. I was soooooo excited that my brother was on a date and that I actually knew about it! (He never talked much about his relationships in the past) Flash forward to years later, I have gained a sister and I couldn't be more proud to have her apart of the family. My brother definitely got lucky but I'd say I got even luckier.
