Megan Mejia - Bridesmaid
Megan is Chelsea’s oldest sister and the mom to her three beautiful (but slightly feral) nieces, the flower girls. They’ve shared so many fun memories over the years, including a trip to Costa Rica! It’s only fitting that Megan stands with Chelsea at the end of the aisle on this important day!
Christian Gaude - Best Man
Christian is Joshua's older sibling, but not by much. He enviously skipped forward a grade in grade school and they shared a lot of memories on road trips and vacations, and as roommates for a few years. He now finds success working behind the scenes at a local television station.
Riley Vital - Bridesmaid
Riley is Chelsea’s youngest sister and the mom to her handsome nephew, João Luca, the ring bearer. Riley has been there for Chelsea through all the big moments, fun family trips, and will be an amazing support system on the big day!
Jacob Nelson - Groomsman
Jacob is the eldest cousin of Joshua, and the life of the party. He and Joshua have spent many fun holidays growing up together. He enjoys all things aviation and is bound to be a great pilot. Jacob is determined to be the squirrel hunting king every year at their family's annual hunting trip.
Ashleigh Gaude - Bridesmaid
Ashleigh is Joshua's younger sibling. Growing up, she and Joshua did not always get along, but now she is Joshua's favorite sister. Ashleigh is naturally talented and has gone to school in New Orleans where she studied and earned a masters degree in fine arts. Newly engaged to her fiancée Tyler, Joshua and Chelsea will be auctioning off their wedding decorations at a discounted rate to the couple after the reception.
Caleb "Cleb" Nelson - Groomsman
Caleb is Joshua's second oldest cousin and the younger brother of Jacob. He is in the US Air Force National Guard. Caleb is very mechanically inclined and loves to get his hands greasy working on old machinery. He has spent many hours in the garage, tinkering away on his family's household devices, much to his parents' dismay.
Jamie Hooker - Bridesmaid
Jamie is Chelsea’s closest friend from college and her constant companion. Jamie and Chelsea have been there for each other through it all, from career changes, to big moves and everything in between! If you tallied up the amount of time they’ve spent camping or traveling together…. well… it’d be a really big number. Jamie is the perfect fit to the bridal party fun-tivities!
Brandon Mansfield - Groomsman
Brandon is Joshua's Childhood friend. He and Joshua went to middle and high school together. Brandon has a passion for music, especially old school rock with a love of the Beatles and The Red Hot Chili Peppers among other bands. Brandon is a man who you can count on and perseveres through thick and thin. The line "I will not let you drag me down" from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' song Power of Equality describes him well.
Isabella "Bella" Mejia - Flower Girl
Bella is Chelsea’s oldest niece and though she tells everyone that Josh is her “best friend” we all know she’s really excited to spend some extra time with her Aunt Sissy too. Bella is the sweetest little girl you’ll ever meet and will be so much fun to have with the bridal party on the big day!
Sophia "Sophie" Mejia - Flower Girl
Sophie is Chelsea’s second niece and the epitome of the term “wild child”. If she decides to throw flower petals into your face while walking down the aisle, we apologize in advance. We are excited to see her tear up the dance floor at the reception and know she will bring some “fun” to all the weekend’s festivities!
Olivia "Liv" Mejia - Flower Girl
Liv is Chelsea’s newest niece. Born in June, Liv will be holding down her first job as flower girl before she can walk!
João Luca Vital - Ring Bearer
João is Chelsea’s only nephew and will be escorted down the aisle in a white wagon while “carrying” the rings. We know he’s more than up to the task and will be one of the cutest additions to the wedding party!
