Teresa Gardenour
Stephanie's Bridesmaid
Teresa is Stephanie's older sister, she has been blessed to have Stephanie in her life for the last 43 years,. Teresa had a lot to do with Stephanie still being alive, from valiantly holding up a bicycle from crushing her as a toddler, to dropping to her knees in prayer every time Stephanie started choking from whatever she had in her mouth. Teresa is so happy to be Stephanie's sister, she keeps things exciting!

Jennifer Breaux
Stacey's Step Mom and Officiant
Jeni met Stacey when she married Stacey's daddy Jerry Cortez. During their brief seven years of wedded bliss they brought Dylan Cortez into the world, Stacey's little brother. Jeni and Stacey share a special bond. Stacey was playing tag and named Jeni as "base" the first time they met, a role Jeni still holds to this day, so its perfect that she is ordained and will officiate the ceremony.
Jerry Cortez
Father of the Bride
Jerry is Stacey's daddy. Although Stacey grew up between Jerry and her mom's houses, Jerry is responsible for teaching Stacey the important things in life, like how to pee in the woods, how to make a great sauce piquante, how to balance in a pirogue, and how to pick up a woman. Watch out ladies, he is single and may steal your heart!
Dylan Cortez
Best Man
Dylan is Stacey's little brother and best man, he is always ready to lend a hand when she needs him along with a healthy dose of brotherly picking and teasing. Even though she asked for Jeni to put him back when he was born Stacey is glad that wasn't an option. He makes really cute kids too!
