Kelsey & Douglas
Wedding Party
Shelby Foucart
Maid of Honor
Length of Friendship: 29 years (give or take) she may have unfriended me a couple years in high school when I enjoyed wearing her clothes more than my own. Shelby is Kelsey’s older sister, and best friend. She is known for her hospitality, cooking, crafting and makes the best travel partner. Although she broke my heart moving 8 hours away and taking all the good qualities from both our parent’s, I could not be luckier to have her as my sister, friend, and maid of honor (can’t forget teacher, hair stylist, planner, technology fixer and advice giver). There is no one else in this world that I adore more than my sister, until we are in driving distance to each other again, I will continue to enjoy our 4–5-hour long phone conversations.
Kyle Hunter
Best Man
Brother of the Groom: Kyle is Doug’s older brother and longest friend. Growing up Doug enjoyed being included in everything Kyle did. As we grew older not much has changed. Kyle is a talented welder/ fabricator that not only has his day job, but also runs his own business. His hard work, dedication and motivation are qualities everyone wishes to have. Doug had the pleasure of being Kyles best man when he married Caitlyn, we are happy he is able to be the same for us on our wedding day.
Leah Foucart
Mother of the Bride
Leah, AKA Frankie, denied being a bridesmaid, flower girl, and anything else I could come up with.. Mother of the Bride. I could not have asked for a better role model, friend, and supporter. Everyone who knows her loves her. She lights the room when she comes in, she's always happy, loves playing her music wayy to loud and singing along to songs she doesn't know the words to. You'll find her sipping her white claw on ice out on the dance floor.
Mary Hunter
Mother of the Groom
Mary is Doug’s mom and Friday night pizza partner. She is one tough and inspirational person to look up to. She succeeded at both the mother and father roles raising my brother and I, and we all know that was not an easy task. She is strong-willed, a music lover and crafty. She loves to crank her music while sowing up her next project whether it be a new teddy bear, blanket, or quilt. At first you may think she comes off quiet and shy but make sure you keep an eye out for her on the dance floor because you might catch her doing the mash potato.
Kelsey Harrison
Bridesmaid
Length of Friendship: 20 years The Kelseys first met each other in fifth grade (special thank you to our sisters). Obviously, we share the same name but K^2 or Kelsey squared have been best friends from the second we met. From the awkward middle school photoshoots, to sneaking out in high school, college coffee study dates, and young adulthood we have been through the ups and downs and always cherished the friendship we have built. Our vacations, karaoke, and nights out dancing will forever be some of my favorite memories.
Jake Roberts
Groomsman
Length of Friendship: 12 years Jake fills in while Doug is working, he helps Kelsey when she breaks things, or even lights things on fire. Picks her up when someone runs out of gas and all that aside still manages to be just as good of a friend to Doug. He’ll drop anything to help, has assisted with 2 home remodels, pool repairs and is always there to encourage and or peer pressure Doug to get into another truck project. We are both lucky to have him as a friend and by our side on our big day.
Rachel Redmond
Bridesmaid
Length of Friendship: 14 years Rachel is the life of the party friend; she is always down for a good time. From working together sharing an office to countless vacations there's never a dull moment when she is around.
Brandon Van Epps
Groomsman
Length of Friendship: 5 years Brandon and Doug are two peas in a pod since the day they met, they have been inseparable. Both automobile painters and both marrying a Foucart. If he wasn’t a groomsman, he would make a great DJ switching from Taylor Swift to Bring Me The Horizon to Christmas music, you’ll never know what you’re going to get when he’s in control of the speaker. We enjoy our annual couple’s vacation and cannot wait for your house to be done so we can move in.
Tracey Roberts
Bridesmaid
Length of Friendship: 6 years Meeting Doug’s best friend was intimidating to say the least, especially since her husband had already given me the nickname of “invisa girl” (invisible girl). Thankfully she was very pregnant and didn’t want to meet me either. Fast forward post Oliver, we spent as much free time as possible with the Roberts family. Tracey is calming, always has our backs and is always up for a good time. We enjoy all the same hobbies and she is a lover of any and all animals. Thankful to have her on our team!
Doug Fitzgerald
Groomsman
Length of Friendship: 10 years Dougie Dougs, Doug Funny's, Double Ds. Obviously, they share a name, but this friendship is so much more. He’s the go to guy for any and all things electrical even after 10 phone calls in the same day, he’s still willing to pick up the phone. He’s willing to get out of bed at 2 in the morning when we jokingly told him our other electrician left us powerless. Aside from working him the Dougs experienced Disney for their first time together and are always up for a rzr trip.
Sarah Johnson
Bridesmaid
Length of Friendship: 3 years Sarah is the Disney loving, crafty, down to plan anything and vacation anywhere friend. We hit it off from the second we met each other (thank you Doug Fitzgerald), and she quickly became Shelby’s replacement aka Kelsey’s Michigan sister. I couldn't ask for a more supportive or better girlfriend to have by our side on our big day.
Connor Foucart
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride: Connor is not only my future brother-in-law, but also a good friend. From the moment we met, he welcomed me into the family, by taking my D away and calling me Oug for not racing a cop. There is never a dull moment when it comes to him, he’s a riot to watch in the trails on his dirt bike or truck, he is Mr. fix it all, is a precision sharpshooter and always willing to lend a hand. Thankful to be gaining such an awesome brother-in-law.
Erin Arnold
Bridesmaid
Length of Friendship: 8 years In 2015 Erin was brave enough to meet up with a group of 4 strangers and drive down to Lake Cumberland in Kentucky that same night. It didn’t take long to realize that she was going to be a great friend aside from sticking her next to the wounded girl in bed. I am so grateful that houseboat brought us together. We have made some of the best memories since then and I’ll forever be proud of us for not getting picked up by the bus while running our first marathon together.
Travis Foucart
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride: Travis is Doug’s future brother-in-law aka Kelsey’s little brother. Like Connor (other future brother-in-law) they have all bonded over off roading and being outdoors but unlike Connor, Doug and Travis are less likely to break 10 minutes into a trip. He is always well prepared, makes a good on the go chef and is always willing to share his latest catch on the dinner table. Surprised and grateful he agreed to stand by our side on our special day.
Bill Foucart
Father of the Bride
Bill is Kelsey’s dad and the most hardworking man you’ll ever meet. He’s a Jack of all trades, master of all (no I didn’t say it wrong, he really did master them all). He is always there to borrow his stuff, and yes like mastering the trades he has everything you could ever think to need. He gives great advice, even if you don’t always take it, like load barring walls need support even if you’ve almost knocked the whole wall down already. He’ll always push you to be the best person you can possibly be and wants the best for all his family and friends. He’s always there to lend a hand, shoulder, or ear. Couldn’t ask for a better father and supporter in life and especially on our wedding day.
James England
Officiant
James has been a part of Doug's life for the longest time. He stepped up into a father figure role young in Doug’s life. He is always there to borrow his tools, share his knowledge and to offer advice and answer questions. James and Nikki have a marriage everyone dreams to have. They are loving, caring, understanding, welcoming and all things a person can hope to be. There was no better person to ask than James to officiate our special day. We are so grateful he agreed and to have their family be a part of our family.
