Wedding Party
Heather Fueston
Matron of Honor
Heather has been Amber’s best friend since kindergarten. They were practically inseparable ever since. They both share a love for fashion, musicals, comedies, animals and all things spooky. Heather got her Masters Degree in Microbiology at Georgia State University and studied Anthropology at Kennesaw State University. Heather works as a Microbiologist for the Center for Disease Control. She lives with her husband, Richard, in Atlanta, Georgia. They have two dogs named Rye and Smokey, and a cat named Louie. Not a day goes by that Amber and Heather don't talk, if they don't...something is probably wrong. You'll always hear them quoting Will Ferrel movies, Harold and Kumar, and Austin Powers movies together; you won't understand what's going on, but the important this is that they've always understood each other.
