Karen and I have been best friends since the 7th grade. It's not often you find two souls so intertwined and destined to be together through life's many journeys. We have walked through the fire and come out on the other side. So happy to have her at the head of my group on this very special day. She knows how to wrangle me back in and help me focus and you will all thank her for that :) She's also great at help my very undecided self make decisions.

Stephanie is my youngest sister. Her and I share our wonderful late father together, Thomas Jenkins. Each of us getting the best parts of him and carrying them with us as we matured. She may not always agree with me, but has always understood my need to do things my way. Even if it's the wrong way at first. Stephanie is unbelievably grounded and strong.

Haylee is my first child and oldest daughter. She's the one that started to mold me into the person I am today. She has my spunk and drive and is learning to channel it. Haylee is mother to one of my most favorite humans, Miss Ellie Bean!

Brittney is my oldest sister. She's the quieter version of me. Brittney brings a calm to the party. She is amazing at planning and is often sought out to plan huge Gala events! She will no doubt bring great ideas and a spice to the wedding! We share a mother and a brother.

Peggy and I met years ago through work. We didn't know how much we would come to rely on each other at the time, but we soon found out. Many life changes, Job changes, and half the united states away has not kept us apart. Peggy is amazing at troubleshooting and planning. Peggy has a sense of adventure we should all have and an amazing zest for life and a good time!

Robert or little Robert as commonly referred to, is not so little anymore. Towering over all of us at nearly 6 foot tall and only 14. He has a heart of gold and does whatever he thinks is right, even if it puts him at a loss. I love this quality in him. In honor of my late father, Robert will be escorting me down the aisle on our special day. Robert is my oldest son.

My second oldest son, Preston is a spitfire. Twin to Landon, He's full of energy and loves to dance and play around. He is very involved in STEM activities and is super excited to seat people during the wedding.

The baby of the family, Landon. Twin to Preston, has a heart of gold and very sensitive. He's a protector and very strong if he needs to be. Would prefer cuddling on the couch with mom, even at 12 years old. Always checking on me and making sure I have what I need. Cleaning his room or chores is a whole other story :)

This little 2 year old will have you falling in love at first site. She's cute, spunky, and smart as a whip! My first grandbaby and the sweetest thing you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting.

Melanie is my spunky 3 year old niece. She is the star of her show and a diva to boot. Her and Ellie are absolutely the most adorable tots! Best friends and cousins. These two will no doubt steal your hearts on the big day!

Sadly, Ryans father went home to be with the Lord 01/14/22. He is greatly missed and will be with us in spirit.

Ivey is a close friend of Tess's, but we consider her family. She is an amazing soul, devoted her life to Jesus, and lives for him every day. It is truly an honor to have her marry us.
