Bridesmaids

Tess' favorite twin, the life of any party, and built in best friend from the beginning 

Natalie Bandy 

Tess' second favorite twin (no really, she's also a twin), former college roommate, and amazing mother to Nora and Max

Monica (Byers) Teran 

Sadly, Julia is not a twin. She is, however, the OG in Tess and Roy's relationship (ask her about our first date) and is the perfect partner for a Dropkick Murphy's concert 

Julia Walsh 

Groomsmen

Friends of 22 years and counting, a USAF pilot who still isn't convinced he joined the right branch.

Jacob Hughes

Former roommate and squadron mate, Nick and Roy tore up Jax beach until he decided to settle down and get married first.

Nicholas Hermberg

Described over a decade ago as "the air force version" of Roy, "Choux" (as he's called by his friends) and Roy have spent years making memories in places like the Flora-Bama and Hub Stacey's.

Patrick Richoux

Arch of Swords

The first nurse Tess ever trained, her go-to for all things Navy, and fellow Walter Reed 5E survivor.

LT Viana Valdez, USN

Tess' Camp Lejeune Marine bestie, mother to 4 chickens in Baltimore, and will never say no to a new adventure.

Capt. Alex Harrell, USMC

Also a 5E survivor, she is one of the smartest nurses in the Navy and is Morale Queen of every command she has been apart of.

LCDR Leigha Dishaw, USN

Survived ROM and an underway on the USS Nitze together, then a full deployment with CSG-10, Nick and Roy have seen it all together.

LT Nicholas Hermberg, USN

He definitely joined the wrong branch, and we're convinced we'll have to teach him how to hold a sword.

Capt. Jacob Hughes, USAF

From deploying together on the Ike, to serving as instructors together at HSM-40, Everett and Roy can't seem to stay apart. In fact they're now roommates in Virginia Beach.

LT Everett Lorentzen, USN

Officiant

Fun fact, Tess and her sister Natalie were the first twins Paster Hulke ever baptized. From confirmations, Sunday services, and summers at Camp Luther, him and his family have been there since day one. We are honored to have him join us for this next chapter in our story.
