Taylor & Chris
Wedding Party
Richard Wright
Father of the Bride
Richard is the most selfless person you will ever meet, from being Taylor's role model to bringing so much laughter, music and family game nights to the house, no one could ask for a better father than Richard. He always puts family first and embodies Get Busy Living in every aspect of his life. Taylor is the luckiest daughter in the world and can't wait to walk down the aisle with one of her favorite people in the world by her side.
Sandrine Wright
Mother of the Bride
Sandrine is not a regular mom, she's a cool mom! She is not only an amazing human being on the inside and out, she is also an unreal mother. She has been Taylor's rock throughout her entire life and Taylor owes a lot of who she is today to Sandrine. Sandrine's competitiveness at family game nights has brought immense laughter and memories to the family and we can't wait for many more to be created at the wedding.
Beth Watson
Mother of the Groom
Beth has been a true live saver for Chris and Taylor over the past year and half. From allowing them to live with her and Vance once they moved to Denver and throughout COVID, to babysitting their granddog Baloo, she truly is the best. Chris and Beth both share a love of puzzles, basset hounds and Birkenstocks. Even though Beth raised 3 boys, she has truly stepped into the mother-in-law role for Taylor and has been helping her create the wedding of her dreams.
Vance Watson
Father of the Groom
Vance has been a consistent role model for Chris his entire life. From getting him on skis or in the water fly fishing from an early age, to introducing Chris and his brothers to the Grateful Dead as children, Vance has embodied the saying "Start 'em young, raise 'em right!". Vance will be making the most of his time in Mexico by fishing, seeing local historical sites, and most importantly relaxing by the beach.
Abi Wright
Maid of Honor
While Abi may be Taylor's little sister, she's been bossing her around since she was born! She is the hardest worker in everything she does - Taylor is insanely proud of her! Abi is a Junior at Endicott College and will be soon studying abroad in Spain where Taylor will live vicariously through her for all 3 months. Abi is not only an amazing sister to Taylor, but she's an amazing friend and dog aunt to Chris and Taylor's dog Baloo.
Sydney Lance
Maid of Honor
Sydney is Taylor's sister from another mister! They have been best friends since they were 2 years old and grew up only a 5 minute drive apart. After 7 years of living in different states Sydney recently moved to Denver and is now only a 6 minute walk away from Taylor! If you can't find Taylor and Sydney they are probably off somewhere singing Disney songs at the top of their lungs.
Hannah Lodge
Bridesmaid
Hannah is Taylor's older cousin and has been such a big part of Taylor's life even though they live thousands of miles away from each other. She is the MASTER of Cricuting, if you see anything personalized at the wedding, you can give a massive kudos to Hannah! Taylor has loved getting to chat all things wedding with Hannah, as she just got married in July 2021!
Alex Wright
Bridesmaid
Alex is truly the life of the party and has been one of Taylor's biggest cheerleaders since they met at the University of Oregon. She goes above and beyond for her friends and is truly a force to be reckoned with. When Alex isn't crushing it in the corporate world, you can find her hanging out with friends or watching Grey's Anatomy for the 100th time.
Stephanie Chi
Bridesmaid
Stephanie and Taylor met in college and bonded over their love of brunch and taking naps. She is a proud dog mom to her two dogs, Moose and Otto, and we can't wait for the day where they meet their long lost best friend Baloo. Steph and Taylor were roommates during college for a summer where Steph filled the apartment with many laughs, cleaning supplies, and all her bloody mary accoutrements!
Lydia McGugan
Bridesmaid
Lydia and Taylor met in 2019 and have been a dynamic duo ever since! She's the queen of DIY'ing and is always down for a good time! Taylor and Lydia have leaned on one another due to their significant others love of everything Grateful Dead and need of having it play at all hours of the day. She is always there to lend a helping hand and has been a huge help in making sure Taylor doesn't turn into bridezilla.

Jacob Wright
Groomsman
Jacob is Taylor's little brother and lived with Chris and Taylor during COVID, where they shared many beers, Mexican food and consumed more Nespresso pods than one truly ever should.

Christian Jha
Groomsman
Christian is Chris' oldest friend, having first met in pre-school. The two still make time for a round of disc golf any time they can. Christian has been a close friend to both Taylor and Chris since they moved back home to Denver, and we are so excited for him to be part of the big day! Before his groomsmen duties begin you can find Christian relaxing by the beach or passing the frisbee by the ocean.
