Bride's Side:

Amanda
Amanda and I have only been working together for nearly a year but we are kindred spirits so we have formed a quick bond. Amanda is very hard working and one of the sweetest people I have had the good fortune to meet. She has a genuine honesty and integrity that reflects in her everyday actions. She is a soccer superstar in her spare time and has good taste in shoes.


Diana
I have known Diana since shortly after moving up to Dallas. Sometimes it is a little bit creepy because she and I have an abnormally high number of things in common. She can handle a vast amount of change with an uncommon grace. I have a lot of respect for the things she has accomplished so far, and what she will continue to accomplish. Diana is also a highly creative web building guru, and many thanks are owed to her for her assistance in building this website.



Kathy
I have also known Kathy since shortly after moving up to Dallas. Kat is truly a “good things come in small packages” type girl. She is a firecracker who makes the best of what she’s given, and cares about other’s problems even when dealing with her own. She has a good heart and a very sharp wit. Kathy makes excellent late night (early morning) IHOP company.


Stephanie
Stephanie is one of Brian’s two wonderful sisters. Although I love my brothers, I am very excited to finally have sisters in my life. Stephanie is one of those lucky people who not only has good organization skills, but also possesses a good sense of humor and excellent style. She, and the rest of Brian’s family have welcomed me with open arms, and I couldn’t be luckier.

Groom's Side:

Christian
I came to know Christian through Brandi, and in the 3 years we have known each other we have developed a great friendship. Underneath his cutting (and absolutely brilliant) sense of humor, Christian is one of the most earnest and honest people I know. Brandi and I both thoroughly enjoy spending time with Christian, his wife Diana, and their adorable little girl, Kaeleigh.


Donald
Donald and I have been friends since high school. He, John, and myself were literally inseparable. The adventures we had, the stories we share, and the things we have learned from one another inform and enrich me as a person to this day. Donald's intelligence, culture, and drive are a continuous source of inspiration. He currently lives in Chicago where he and his wife Svetlana are expecting their first child.


John
John and I have also been friends since high school. Those that know John can vouch that my characterization of his wit and charm as an almost supernatural force is not an overstatement. In our younger years, our fierce competitiveness both drove us and at times got the better of us, but as we've grown old and wise older and wiser, we've both developed a deep appreciation and respect for the bond we share. John lives in Dallas, was recently engaged to his fiancee' Alison, and knows more about wine than I do.


Pat
Pat and I are cousins, and in an Italian family that's roughly equivalent to a brother. My very earliest childhood memories are of driving big wheels around the cul-de-sac on the street where both of our families had homes. No matter how much time passes without seeing one another, Pat and I have a bond which can be neither broken nor easily described. He currently lives in Conway, Arkansas where he is still much better than me at every sport but soccer.

Flower Girls:
One of our flower girls is Katie, Brandi's cousin's daughter. The picture we have is very old, it's actually from January 2006, so she is a bit bigger now! Our other flower girl is Christian and Diana's daughter, Kaeleigh. They were so cute, we had to pick them both!

Ring Bearer:
Our ring bearer is our high flying, drool heavy, water loving, dog named Dante. Dante is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and he is our "baby", so we had to include him.

Ring Bearer Escorts:
Dante will be escorted down the aisle by two of Brian's cute nephews, Preston and Zachary.
