Our Wedding

June 2021 Tyler meets Rebecca for the first time when picking up his new hire equipment from OS National. Fall 2021 Tyler and Rebecca flirt every chance they get while in office together. October 2021Rebecca invites Tyler to hang out at Top Golf with their office friends. November 19, 2021 Rebecca gets the IT gang together for bowling and dinner for Tyler's 30th birthday. Little did Rebecca know, Tyler brought his best man Josh along to do some recon work to find out if Rebecca was single or not and to see if he thought she was the real deal. Rebecca surprised Tyler with a birthday cake and gift that left a lasting impression on Tyler. With all the work that she put in to make his birthday special, he knew that he found a one-of-a-kind woman. Thanksgiving 2021Rebecca was in Indiana for the holiday and confessed to her cousin Alli that she was really into this guy at work. Thanksgiving day, Tyler asks Rebecca if they can schedule time to hang out when she's back in town. He finally asked her out on a date! December 3, 2021Tyler and Rebecca go on their first date to Marlow's Tavern after work and hit it off. December 4, 2021Tyler and Rebecca make it official - they are a couple! (And give notice to HR first thing Monday morning, of course.) August 26, 2023Tyler takes Rebecca to Chateau Elan Winery for a romantic afternoon date. With his friend Adam conveniently there "to practice for an upcoming shoot and get a lay of the land", Tyler takes Rebecca into the vineyard and gets down on one knee to pop the question... and she said YES! Present Day We are so excited to celebrate this moment with you! We are diligently making the final preparations for our big day. It's been an exciting time planning a wedding despite the few bumps along the way like a broken wrist and a dysfunctional gallbladder. Needless to say, we can't wait to say 'I Do' and continue this amazing journey together as The Priests.

Our Story

Bride's side

With a shared passion of sitcoms like Friends and New Girl, Melanie and I really know how to laugh and enjoy the funny moments in life. While we have our classic sister moments of bickering, we have a love for our family and the Lord as well as great memories of childhood that will always bond us. I'm so honored to have Melanie by my side on this special day that is bound to be full of joy, laughter and love.

Melanie Thomas

Leanne has been the best role model of what a big sister should be. Growing up I did just about everything that she did because I wanted to be exactly like her. She is one of the bravest people I know, and with her she makes me feel like I can do anything. I'm grateful for Leanne showing me the way like she always has as I've been preparing for this next chapter of my life. I'm so blessed to have her at my side for this special day.

Being only 1 month apart in age, Alli and I were inseparable during our time together when my family made trips from Georgia to Indiana. From playing "dress-up" as little kids to "dressing-up" when we were teenagers… I cherish all those times we would talk about our futures and dreams while doing our makeup and hair. It’s like it has been a big preparation for this special day, and I couldn’t have gotten here without Alli. I’m so lucky to have such an amazing cousin that has been along with me for this entire ride and has shown me how to do it in style.

Alli Miller

Hayden's last name might as well be Chesser by how much she is part of our family. I've been friends with Hayden since our early elementary school days when she and her family moved in across the street from us. Hayden has probably been at every gathering, special event and momentous occasion our family has had, and this wedding will be no different. I couldn't imagine such an important moment without Hayden, and I'm so glad to have her by my side for this special one. 

Hayden Statome

I'm so privileged to have this little cutie lead me in on my wedding day! She is so precious and one of the best little nieces a bride could ask for. I can't wait to get all dolled up with her on the special day. <3

Carianne Wendrick

I'm so honored that my coolest Aunt Jayne accepted our request to read scripture at our wedding. Aunt Jayne has been by my side through thick and thin. She's one of my biggest supporters, and it's an honor to have her represent me on this day and share the word of the Lord. Thank you, Aunt Jayne, for always being encouraging, loving, and caring through the years to help get me here. I couldn't have done it without you!

Groom's Side

My childhood best friend - from wild adventures to precious life moments - thank you for riding along all these years!
We met on the school bus and in the most hilarious way. My grandfather had a "Jesus loves you" sign in the front yard. Josh would always scream out the window at me "Jesus loves you!!" And that's how it all started! I'm glad to share another milestone with you, and I'm glad we both are
still alive to see it!

Josh Valdez

Meeting through a mutual friend, we both ironically started working at the same place together. I was starting my career and watching Billy grow in his own. He always jokes about being the quiet Asian, but he is always full of love and kindness for everyone around him. I don't know what I did to deserve this guy as my friend, but I certainly can say I'm thankful.

Billy Chea

Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... just kidding, I met Seth working at RadioShack. I was a subcontractor that did house calls for PC repair for the shop. We kicked it off chatting on the sales floor. Always talking about football, our loved ones, and of course ridiculous stories about customers. If you need a description of Seth, he IS the definition of the good ole southern boy. I can always count on him for anything and can guarantee a good time!
Thanks for makin' memories I won't forget, buddy, and thank you for joining mine.

Seth Giles

Wes is always a ray of sunshine even when things look bleak. I wish I had half the energy and spirit this guy has! Also working in the IT industry, we met as co-workers but grew into really good friends. With our passion in PC games and dank memes, there is never a time where I'm not laughing with this guy. Thanks for joining me on this special day, buddy.

Wesley Shaw

We met many years ago at the same place Billy Chea and I started at together. Around that time, I was an intern for the company and Jason was part of the systems
administration team. We kicked it off well by talking about our passion in IT and our love for the Lord. If I can say anything about this man, he has patience of steel and
a kind, loving heart for people. I've been blessed to have him as a friend and as a brother in Christ.
