Our Wedding

Our Story

Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another

The Ladies

Emma is the bride's best friend, closest confidant, funniest friend, and most reliable and selfless Maid of Honor a girl could have. Emma chases the Lord with fervor & inspires those around her.  
Tessa takes full credit on Emma wanting to be a nurse because Emma started practicing on her when they were toddlers.

Emma Cox

Lauren is superwoman. She is the most attentive friend, diligent mother, stand-up comedian, EMT, Florist, seamstress, TRX instructor, God fearing woman, that you will ever meet.
Tessa and Lauren met in high school and have been weird and hilarious together ever since.  

Lauren Harman

There was no before Tessa and Hannah, they have just been friends forever. Hannah leads others to the Lord like their lives depend on it (They do). She is gracious while spunky, cowgirl while classy, and a million amazing things all wrapped into a 5' nothin body. 

Hannah Mccord

Kenny is sunshine in human form. Tessa met Kenna when she ran home to her sorority during rush week. From the first moment they met Kenna quickly because Tessa's safe space and soul sister (and sorority big (; ). 

Mckenna Rodriguez 

Rachel and Tessa met Tessa's Junior year of college though they both wish it could have been much sooner. 
Rachel has a spark for life that led her to say yes to a trip with a girl she barely knew (Tessa) and that resulted in a lifelong friendship. Rachel fiercely loves her friends and sports but does not make Tessa listen to her talk about it. 

Rachel Hansen

Joëlle is also soon to be Tessa's sister and the blessings abound! She is an incredible chef, even better mother, and most importantly a firm follower of Christ! Jake and Tessa are excited to have Will and Joëlle's marriage as consistent inspiration.

Joëlle Payette

Grace and Tessa will be sisters come this January, and Tessa could not be more blessed. Grace embodies her name. She is passionate about Jesus & becoming a PA. She bakes treats daily and always has time for a coffee run.

Ephesians 5:25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her1 Corinthians 13: 4-7:Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Genesis 2:18:Then the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”Genesis&nbsp;2:24:&nbsp;"That&nbsp;is&nbsp;why&nbsp;a&nbsp;man&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;his&nbsp;father&nbsp;and&nbsp;mother&nbsp;and&nbsp;is&nbsp;united&nbsp;to&nbsp;his&nbsp;wife,&nbsp;and&nbsp;they&nbsp;become&nbsp;one&nbsp;fleshMatthew&nbsp;19:6:&nbsp;"So&nbsp;they&nbsp;are&nbsp;no&nbsp;longer&nbsp;two,&nbsp;but&nbsp;one&nbsp;flesh.&nbsp;Therefore&nbsp;what&nbsp;God&nbsp;has&nbsp;joined&nbsp;together,&nbsp;let&nbsp;no&nbsp;one&nbsp;separate."Ephesians&nbsp;5:31:&nbsp;"For&nbsp;this&nbsp;reason&nbsp;a&nbsp;man&nbsp;will&nbsp;leave&nbsp;his&nbsp;father&nbsp;and&nbsp;mother&nbsp;and&nbsp;be&nbsp;united&nbsp;to&nbsp;his&nbsp;wife,&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;two&nbsp;will&nbsp;become&nbsp;one&nbsp;flesh."
