Our Wedding

On a night when the veil between worlds is thinnest, under the glow of flickering lanterns and autumn’s crisp embrace, fate conspired to bring two souls together. It was All Hallows’ Eve when Tamra and Aden first crossed paths—a night of mystery, enchantment, and, unbeknownst to them, the beginning of a love written in the stars. What began as a chance meeting quickly unfolded into something far greater. From the very start, Tamra and Aden discovered that together, they were more—more grounded, more courageous, more alive. She challenged him to dream bigger, laugh louder, and feel deeper. He offered her a quiet strength, a safe place to rest her heart, and a steady presence through every storm. They didn’t just fall in love—they grew into their best selves, side by side. Now, as the autumn leaves return and the castle gates open, they prepare to wed in a celebration not just of love, but of transformation, devotion, and destiny. In a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, they step into forever—two souls, made better by one another, writing a love story not just for the ages, but for all time.

Royal Entourage

Our Matron of Honor, Alanna, has been like a sister to Tamra since junior high when they first bonded over softball and quickly became inseparable. Over the years, their friendship has only deepened through late night talks, countless laughs, and unwavering support. Even with miles between them, Alanna has always shown up emotionally and physically with kindness, loyalty, and love. Her steady presence and true friendship make her the perfect person to stand beside us on this unforgettable day.

Alanna

Our Maid of Honor and Bride are the oldest and youngest maternal cousins, but their bond feels more like sisters. Their identical sense of humor often sends them into fits of laughter only they understand, earning them the title of family mischief makers. Chloe brings joy wherever she goes and constantly surprises Aden with her unpredictable brilliance. From childhood antics to adult milestones, she has always been a steady presence in Tamra’s life and there is no one more fitting to stand beside us.

Chloe B.

Bella and Tamra have shared a love for all things spooky, odd, and unconventional since high school. Their friendship has only grown through every phase of life, with Bella cheering on every adventure. She was one of the first to meet Aden, famously shouting “Give me some fin” through a car window and has been rooting for their love ever since. Her fearless spirit and unwavering friendship light up our lives. We love her sense of humor, her loyalty, and her bold heart. We are so grateful she is part of this day and this chapter of our love story.

Bella

Chloe’s love for all things magical and mythical brings enchantment to even the simplest days. Whether dressing up for Renaissance Faires or diving into a game of Magic: The Gathering, her vibrant energy and genuine warmth make every moment feel like an adventure. Her presence adds joy, laughter, and light, and we are incredibly thankful to have her here helping us celebrate in a way that feels truly magical. Her creative heart and constant positivity have brought so much color into our lives. We could not imagine this celebration without her playful spirit and unforgettable friendship by our side.

Chloe P.

Josie became part of Tamra’s blended family through Seth, but she quickly became so much more. Her quiet strength, big heart, and consistent support have brought comfort through life’s highs and lows. Whether showing up with encouragement or celebrating milestones, Josie offers a sense of love and belonging that means the world to us. She has been a calm and comforting presence in times of change, and a source of joy in every celebration. We are so lucky to have her here sharing in the joy of this day and standing with us as family and dear friend.

Josie

Sarah, Tamra’s cousin on her father’s side, became a bright light during one of life’s hardest chapters and their connection has grown beautifully since. Watching her grow into such a strong and inspiring young woman has been a gift. Her resilience, compassion, and steady love have brought so much warmth into our lives. She offers encouragement when it is most needed and joy when we least expect it. Her presence reminds us of what truly matters: love, family, and strength through connection. We are honored to have her here adding even more meaning to this special and joyful day.

Meet the Queen's Court

Aden has always looked up to his older brother Skylor not just as family but as a role model and best friend. While Aden tends to be more of a red personality (passionate and bold) and Skylor more blue (calm and thoughtful) the laughter and humor they share are always on par creating a bond full of warmth and fun. Whether offering advice, cracking jokes, or just being a steady presence Skylor has been there through it all. His love for all things fantasy and legendary tales makes it even more fitting that he stands by our side on this enchanted day. We are beyond grateful to have him here.

Skylor

Evan’s sharp mind, quick wit, and genuine kindness make him an incredible person to have in our lives. As the oldest of Aden’s nephews and Tamra’s soon to be nephew, he brings a unique blend of thoughtfulness and fun to every moment. Whether diving into deep conversations about psychology, debating superheroes, or simply sharing a good laugh, his presence is always something to look forward to. His curiosity and passion for learning makes every interaction meaningful. We are honored to have Evan standing with us and grateful to share this unforgettable day with someone so special to our hearts.

Evan

Seth has been more than Tamra's (not so) little brother. He has been a best friend, a protector, and a constant source of strength. From childhood to now, he and Tamra have shared endless laughter, adventures, and unwavering support for one another. Over the years, his bond with Aden has also grown into a strong and genuine friendship filled with mutual respect and brotherly teasing. Seth’s kindness, loyalty, and steady presence have always been a guiding light in our lives. Having him stand beside us on this special day is an honor, and we are deeply grateful for him.

Seth

Meet the King's Guard

Remmy may be small in size, but he carries himself like a mighty hound, ruling the house with confidence and charm. As the eldest of our dogs, he takes charge, ensuring everyone knows he’s the true leader. He struts with the attitude of a dog ten times his size. At night, he proudly presents his “ticket” to claim his rightful place under the covers, because in his eyes, the house (and the bed) belongs to him.

Remmy Klees Sims

Davinci is a cat in name but a hound at heart, running with the pack yet always keeping them on their toes. With the stealth of a panther and the spirit of a trickster, he delivers surprise attacks to the dogs, ensuring they stay ever-vigilant. Though his claws are sharper than theirs, his heart is just as loyal. He loves to give kisses between his training sessions. A guardian, a challenger, and a cherished member of the pack, Davinci keeps the house in balance with both chaos and affection.

Davinci MeowMeow Griffitts

Onyx is our gentle giant, a towering presence with a bark that could shake the walls. The largest of the pack, he carries himself with quiet strength, ever watchful and disciplined. Despite his size, he firmly believes he’s a lap dog, seeking comfort in the arms of those he loves. A guardian by nature and the most steadfast protector of our home, Onyx is the heart of our pack: mighty in presence, tender in spirit, and unwavering in his devotion.

Onyx Oney Sims

Mowgli is no ordinary dog; he’s a tiny bear cub in a Pomeranian’s body, complete with a royal presence that demands attention. Though tailless, his confidence and charm are undeniable. Mowgli insists on being carried in his personal purse, ensuring he’s always front and center in every adventure. Wherever Tamra goes, Mowgli is right there beside her, her devoted shadow, never wanting to be left out. To him, the world is his kingdom, and he rules it with unmatched cuteness and an aura of undeniable charm.

Mowgli Bear Griffitts

Loki, our swift and spirited Anatolian Shepherd, moves with the speed of a cat and the agility to match. His energy is boundless, always ready to race through the yard or leap into action. But despite his quick reflexes and playful nature, he has a soft side (especially when it comes to his papa, Aden). Every night, no matter how wild the day has been, he finds his place beside him, settling in for well-earned cuddles. And with his perfect snoot, always ready for a gentle grab, Loki is as lovable as he is lightning-fast.

Loki Doki Griffitts

Xanthe, our precious baby girl, is the only doggie princess in the house, and she knows it. She prances through life to her own special tune, “Xanny Bananny,” always ready to dance with joy. Though she may be the stinkiest of the bunch, she makes up for it with the biggest, sweetest heart. Whether she’s wagging her tail in delight or snuggling up for love, Xanthe is a royal gem... equal parts sass, scent, and sweetness.

Xanthe Banana Griffitts

Milkshake, our striking Mexican Milk Snake, is a swirl of vibrant red, black, and white, with a personality as bold as his colors. Known for his smooth, fluid movements, he slithers with the grace of a dancer, always curious and ready to explore. Though his name might suggest sweetness, Milkshake is a fierce little adventurer, owning his space with quiet confidence. Whether he's coiled up basking in the warmth or out for a slow, mesmerizing crawl, he never fails to captivate with his beautiful pattern and lively spirit.

Milkshake the Milk Snake

Geo, our albino leucistic axolotl, is a little ghost of the water, gliding through his kingdom with an otherworldly grace. With his pale, ethereal glow and feathery gills like a crown, he is both mysterious and mesmerizing. Unbothered by the chaos of the land dwellers, he watches with quiet wisdom, content in his aquatic domain. A true creature of legend, Geo is our little water dragon: soft, strange, and absolutely enchanting.

Geo Pheo Sims

Torticia is our three-toed box turtle and the newest little princess. She is faster than you’d expect and always on the move. Blueberries are her favorite treat, and she happily munches on them whenever she can. When it’s sunny, you’ll find her outside enjoying Tamra’s gothic garden, nibbling on her favorite plants with curious delight. With her beautifully patterned shell and playful spirit, Torticia has quickly become a bright and lively addition to our family pack.

Meet Our Loyal Companions

We created this page to honor our loved ones who have passed, ensuring they’re with us in spirit on our wedding day. They say the internet is forever, so we felt this was the perfect place to share our love for them—a love that, like their memory, endures forever.

Here in Spirit

September 7, 1932 – January 8, 2010I still remember how you’d play with my hair until I fell asleep, and how you always told me to sing for you, even when I felt shy. I miss those mornings with you and Grandma, sharing coffee together, and the warmth that came with it. You told me to be picky about the boy I marry one day, and you shared a secret about how I’d know when I found him. You were right, Me-me. Thank you for all the love, wisdom, and memories that will stay with me forever. —Tamra

Annie Jewell Harrelson

October 5, 1951 - May 15, 2012 Grandma was a big part of my life growing up. She helped raise me and made sure I learned right from wrong. She was kind but didn’t hesitate to be tough when she needed to be. Her kitchen was her domain—I learned early on to stay out of it. I’ll never forget the goat we had... or the shock of realizing it was dinner one night. She always had a toothpick in her mouth and a clear goal for me: to grow up to be a good person and a strong man. She meant a lot to me and is missed every day. —Aden

Julie Ann Rose

April 25, 1951 - January 22, 2021Grandpa Danny was the kind of guy who made a lasting impression with his cool, laid-back demeanor. Though Aden didn’t get to see him often, there are memories that will always be cherished, like the times he made sure to be there for Aden’s birthday in McAlester.&nbsp;—Aden

Danny Frank Griffitts

August 29, 1969 - September 28, 2021To my biological father, I wish we had spoken more during the time you had on this earth. Thank you for the motivational talks and for always encouraging me to push myself in school and sports. I’ll never forget how proud you were when I lettered my freshman year. I also believe you were the one who helped me connect with my sisters after your passing. I love you, and I’m grateful for everything you did to support me. —Tamra

Lorenzo Felipe Vasquez

September 14, 1924 - November 9, 2021Nanny, I’ll always treasure sneaking chocolate from your fridge and sitting on your front porch, especially when the Christmas lights were up. You encouraged my love for coloring and story telling. You always supported my creative spirit. Those simple moments with you are memories I hold close, and I’ll forever cherish your love and warmth. —Tamra

Alma Wynell Sims

July 2, 2009 - April 26, 2024Joey was more than a pet; he was a best friend and teacher, guiding us through healing and growth. He was our baby boy, the light of our lives, and Aden’s “sweet and sloppy boy” and “kangaroo baby.” His passing on April 26 left a hole in our hearts that words can’t fill, marking the hardest and most profound heartbreak we’ve faced together as a couple. Joey’s love will forever be a part of us, and we take comfort in knowing he’s watching over us from beyond the Rainbow Bridge. We love you always, Joey. ❤️🌈 —Tamra and Aden

Joey Rojo Sims

May 26, 1970 - July 10, 2024Dad, our relationship was far from easy, but you were the man who raised me and the one I will always call Dad. I cherish the good moments we shared—the delicious meals you made, the time at the ballfields with you cheering from the stands or coaching with pride. I carry with me the valuable lessons you taught me: to work hard, stand strong, and never settle for less than I deserve. Despite the challenges we faced, I love and miss you dearly. Rest easy, Dad—your impact and love will forever be a part of who I am. —Tamra

Ramon Chavez

April 24, 2012 - December 28, 2024Jake was so much more than a pet—he was family. Jake was a stubborn boy who would grumble and "talk" when he thought he was right, but his gentle and protective nature was unlike any other dog we’ve ever had. His unwavering loyalty was a constant source of comfort. His passing has left a deep void in our hearts, but his memory will forever be a guiding light in our lives. We will miss him dearly and hold onto the love he gave us. Rest peacefully, sweet Jake. You will always be our Old Man. ❤️—Tamra and Aden
