Meet our Wedding Party! 

Maid of Honor 

Angela Howard has been the bride's best friend since the age of five. Angela met the bride in kindergarten and they have been inseparable ever since. She will bring endless sophistication and fun to our extravagant day!

Laquanda Jones is the bride's older sister. She has been a staple of ongoing support and guidance during the bride's lifespan. She will bring humor, joy, and will most certainly be the life of the party!

The Best Man 

Tony DiPietro is the groom's brother-in-law. Tony will be traveling from Delaware to join in celebrating our union. His warm spirit is simply contagious! We are beyond excited to have him as part of our "Dream Team."

Groomsmen 

Jeff Spalding is the groom's long-term friend and former bandmate (Leafless forever)! Jeff will be traveling from the East coast to stand beside the groom on his very special day!

Wedding Party

Where is the Wedding Venue located? 

Our beautiful venue, Chandelier Farms, is located in Terrell, Texas. The city of Terrell is located about 35 miles east of Dallas.

How far is the venue from local Dallas airports? 

Dallas has two local major commercial airports: Dallas Love Field and DFW. The venue is approximately an hour and a half drive from DFW airport and 50 minutes from Dallas Love Field via highway. We STRONGLY suggest car rental or carpooling to the venue if viable. The venue is in a very remote location. Uber and Lyft could be costly due to venue distance and location.

Am I allowed to bring a plus one? 

Due to specific wedding guest count limitations, unfortunately plus ones will not be allowed if not specifically listed on your initial invitation or communicated directly by the bride and groom.

RSVP HOW TO AND RSVP DUE DATE 

Final RSVP deadline was Wednesday, July 1st, 2026. If you did not RSVP by that date, due to contractual obligations you will unfortunately not be able to join in our wedding celebration. The final guest headcounts at this time have been recorded.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I CANNOT MAKE IT? 

You will be sorely missed! If you cannot attend, please make sure to RSVP "Declined" when you receive your invitation so we may plan accordingly and update our guest count.

ARE CHILDREN WELCOME? 

Due to many factors, we respectfully request no children in attendance. This is an ADULT ONLY wedding (18 and older).

WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE? 

Please arrive at the venue no later than 2:00 pm. This will allow time for you to park and be seated. The ceremony will start promptly at 2:30 pm. Unfortunately, if you arrive after the start of the ceremony, you will not be seated in the ceremony area and will have to wait until the start of cocktail hour to join in further celebrations.

WILL THERE BE AN OPEN BAR? 

Of course!! While the unlimited drinks are on us, the hangover is on you. Please drink responsibly.
