Bride

Christopher Thomas

Elizabeth Thomas

Flower Girl

Our beautiful daughter! The best baby girl in the whole wide world. Elizabeth has changed our lives in so many ways and we couldn't imagine our lives without her. She brings us both so much joy! We love her so much!

Benjamin Thomas

Baby Boy

Our sweet baby boy! The best baby boy in the whole wide world. Benjamin was the missing piece to our family and we are so thankful for him. He brings us so much joy! We love him so much!

Melissa Jepson

Mother of the Bride

My mom has always been the biggest support system in my life. She is such an amazing mom. She has always given realistic feedback, whether that meant I had an awful soccer game and played terrible. I know I can always count on my mom to tell me how it is without sugar coating it. My mom was the first person to believe that Chris was the man I was going to marry only a few weeks into knowing him. I told her to pump the breaks but a mom always knows. Everything I know about being a mom is because of her. I hope that I'm at least half as good as her and if I am then I know I'm a pretty damn good mom because I know I could never live up to her. She is by far one of Elizabeth's favorite people and one of the biggest helps with anything either of us needs. I am so thankful to have her as my mom and be such a big part of Elizabeth's life.

David Jepson

Father of the Bride

My dad has always been there for me whenever I needed him. Whether that was coming home after 6 days on the road to coach my soccer team or rushing to the scene of my car accident back in 2017. I know growing up I was a handful and probably pushed him to his limits from time to time. My dad is the first one I talk to when I need something built or fixed or if my car is making a funny sound. I remember the night we told him about Elizabeth. After processing his thoughts, since we woke him from a deep sleep, he wanted to make sure I was okay and that Chris was the man I wanted to be with. He has always made it his mission to be the best father to all of his children. Growing up I hoped to find a man that had similar traits to him because he has impacted me in a positive way. My dad is such a big help when it comes to Elizabeth and we are so lucky to have him in our life. I couldn't have asked for a better father.

Hannah Grassi

Maid of Honor

This girl has been in my life far too long! She showed up to my house as my little brother's timid girlfriend and never left! We have definitely shared some ups and downs throughout our relationship. I look to her as the little sister I never had, annoying but loveable. I'm so lucky to have her in my life and there isn't anyone else I would want to be standing next to me on my wedding day.

Steven Thomas

Best Man

You may find this hard to believe, but as brothers growing up we didn't always get along. I can still recount the most perfect spiral being chucked at my spine as I marched upstairs from the basement. Despite our childhood antics toward one another which has continued into adulthood, I've always considered us an army of two. Steve is the best brother a guy can ask for. He's loyal, strong, courageous, intelligent and a giant pain in my ass like I am his. No matter what life has thrown at us we've always overcome it. Steve is that man you can count on to be in your corner when you need him most. He's helped me out more times than I can count. I couldn't be more proud to call Steve my brother and to have him by my side.

Renee DeAngelis

Bridesmaid

This girl is ultimately my best friend. We met our freshman year in high school and have remained close throughout the years. We have far too many stories to share that would make you pee your pants laughing! We may not talk everyday and may live states away but I know if I ever needed her she is only one phone call away. She has stepped up and became Elizabeth's godmother and Auntie Pepperoni. We love her! I know I can always count on her and that's why you will see her standing by my side as I say "I DO!"

Cody Fontaine

Groomsman

When I first arrived to Harwich High School back in 2012, Code was part of a group of guys who called me over to the mural just as you entered the school. It was a nice welcome to say the least. The irony though is I don't recall us saying anything to one another. Throughout the rest of our High School years, Code and I talked here and there but our friendship didn't really flourish until after graduation in 2014. We got together for a bonfire the night of graduation at our friend Dave's. We sat around a fire and talked about life, our likes and dislikes and where we wanted to end up. Let you in on a little secret, we didn't really know. All we knew from that night on was that we became the three musketeers. Code is someone I believe we can all strive to learn from. He's an intelligent man with a heart of gold. He stands up for what he believes in and doesn't pass judgement in haste. Code I couldn't be more proud to call you one of my best friends and have you by my side today.

Jessica Skov

Bridesmaid

Jessie is soon to be a Jepson! She and my brother got engaged only a few weeks before Chris and I and will be getting married a few weeks before us as well. It's so nice to go through this journey together. Every time I talk to Jessie I feel like I've known her my entire life. She always seems to have the biggest smile on her face. She has been a great help loving Elizabeth and watching her when I've had appointments. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without her support next to me.

David Peninger

Groomsman

When I was around five years old give or take, David and I both lived in Queen Annes Court down in Harwich. Oddly enough I don't recall us interacting much at that time. We didn't go to the same high school. Nor were we in the same grade. However, as with Code and I's story, David and I became best friends from the night of Code and I's graduation bonfire in 2014. Which coincidentally took place at David's being hosted by his brother Michael. David and I instantly clicked in similarities. There was a natural vibe of friendship between us (of course with Code too.) David is one of the most loyal and down to earth people I know. He's strong willed and always looks at the positives in life despite how rough it can get. David is unquestionably one of my closest friends and I'm proud to have him by my side today.

Jillian Jepson

Bridesmaid

Jill just recently married one of my brothers and officially became a Jepson after all these years. Jill is known to be our families 'activity director' hoping someone will join her in any card or board game. There have been many nights of 'parent pickups" that always make me laugh. Jill has always supported me and I know I need her by my side on my wedding day.

Evan Vaughn

Groomsman

They say that if you can stay friends with someone for seven years then you’ll be friends a lifetime. Evan and I would argue are a shining example to this myth. We’ve known each other since elementary school, but we didn’t really develop a strong bond until middle school. Despite my troubles finding friends throughout my early years in grade school, Evan was always my best friend. We would draw and joke in class about everything. I still recall drawing all over our folders and making fun of Mrs. Angelone’ music class and almost getting kicked out together. Seriously, Oliver Twist is still the easiest movie to crack jokes about. We’ve had great times hanging at each others places, going for coffee runs and hopping all around Chatham and the rest of the cape. To this day, Evan is still one of my best friends and I’m so thankful and honored to call him my friend and have him by my side.

Emilia Jepson

Bridesmaid

Mina was my first official sister in law. Throughout covid we became extremely close. We would bake all night things such as cookies, cakes, and scones. She is such a great mother to my only nephew, William! Mina will be by my side as I marry my best friend and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Mike Scribner

Groomsman

Mike and I met in the Associate Court Officer Academy in 2021. During breaks we’d all gravitate toward groups and talk among ourselves. Mike and I frequently talked with the same group of guys and we clicked immediately. Between our love for sports, working out and gaming it was a surefire friendship. After class we’d hang out in my room and play donkey Kong country on a SNES rip off system I bought while we were there. Since our friendship has continued, hitting up my first PAX East in 2022 together was one of the best times I’ve had. I have no doubt Mike and I will continue to be friends for years to come and am honored to call him a friend and have him here today.

Alecsandra Hatch

Bridesmaid

I met Allie for the first time back in high school. She was the little sister of one of my close friends in high school. Each time I would go over to her house I would make it a point to go say hi and check in with her. After high school we reconnected when we were both working. I was working as a nanny and she was the manager at the indoor playground I brought the kids to. From then on we hit it off again and have remained extremely close. I can always turn to Allie at any given moment for her help and advice. I couldn't imagine getting married and not having her stand by my side.

Peter Casarez

Groomsman

Just like Mike, Pete and I met during the Associate Court Officer Academy in 2021. We wound up working together in Barnstable district working the door together. We both can attest, working that door absolutely sucks. However, Pete and I we came to find out are quite literally like Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber. We consistently quoted that along with the Princess bride throughout many of our days at the door together. Including many more shows and movies. Aside from the fun shenanigans, Pete is an amazing person. As many others here he’s loyal, hard working and genuine human being. If you need someone to storm the battlefield with you’re gonna want this guy on your team. I’m honored to call Pete a friend and have him here with me today. You are the brute squad.

Kaitlyn Marchand

Bridesmaid

I met Kait my freshman year of college. Our second semester is when we got close. We soon realized that we have a lot in common as we both were pursuing a degree in education and psychology. Kait quickly became my ride or die in college. We planned as many classes together so we wouldn't be bored all class long. This girl has always been there for me and has offered me advice even when it was tough to hear. She has always supported me no matter what. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without her there with me.

Richard Thomas

Father of the Groom

You do ya get, ya don’t ya won’t. This is the saying I have always lived by. My dad told this to my brother and I since we were little rascals. Nothing in this life could be more true. You have to earn your way every step. My dad is the greatest man I know. He’s taught me what it means to be a man, friend, worker, father and even husband. Abs I hope can vouch that this is all undeniably true. My dad is easily one of my closest friends. He means more to me than he’ll ever know. I’ll always be thankful for the lessons he’s taught me, the memories of playing games, sports, watching tv and the countless other adventures we’ve been on. Having him by my side today means the world to me and I couldn’t be more thankful and honored to call him Dad.

Christine Thomas

Mother of the Groom

The absolute best. My mom has been my guiding light my entire life. She’s the sweetest most caring person I know. My mom is what humanity embodies. Constantly putting others before herself, wanting what’s best for everyone but also courageous and not afraid to fight for what she believes is right. No matter how old I get even when I’m old and grey, I’ll still be her little boy. As with my dad, I couldn’t have asked for a better mom. I appreciate and love her more than she’ll ever know. I can’t imagine not having my mom with me on this day and am beyond proud and honored to be her son and to have her as my mom.

Jack Farrell

Elizabeth Security

Jack is the kindest boy around, always trying to make others smile and laugh. Jack is my little cousin who we adore. He has a heart of gold. I will always remember our covid "eight dot dot zero zero" facetime calls. Jack has a wild side that we know will rub off on Elizabeth one day! From the moment we told Jack that he was going to be a big cousin, he was over the moon hoping for a little girl. His wish came true when we found out she was a girl. The excitement only grew when she was born and the questions of "when can I see her?" "Can I hold her?" came flooding in. He is such a responsible little kid and that is why we need him to be Elizabeth's security at the wedding.

Sam Farrell

Ring Bearer

Sam is the wildest little boy around but so so sweet. The first day Chris and I took the boys for the day was one for the books. Sam was only two at the time and I was unable to pick him up due to lifting restrictions after a surgery. Sam immediately latched on to Chris and proceeded to tell me "NO Abbie!" At the end of the day Chris was exhausted but we had so much fun. Our rough and tumbley little boy is the sweetest kid when it comes to Elizabeth. I remember being anxious the first time Sam met her as he wasn't even three and is a wild boy. However, the sweet little voice when he said her name melted my heart. He always wants to hold her and help with anything she needs. Watching Sam adore our little girl is the greatest sight.
