A very important guest will be missing on our special day. After a 3 and half year battle with cancer, Kelsey's dad, Gerry sadly passed away in June of 2019.

Gerry was first diagnosed in January of 2016, about 2 weeks after Kelsey and James started dating. James is so grateful for the time he had getting to know Gerry during those precious years. Though this was the most difficult time for Kelsey and the McDaniel family, James was always there week after week. Whether it was playing games, sharing amazing meals, polishing off bottles of wine, or helping out around the house, James was there until the end.

We know Gerry would be so happy that Kelsey and James have decided to spend their lives together. We miss him so much, and we know through the happy tears, there will also be some sad tears... so please bear with us!
