Michelle

and

Kevin

Wedding Party

Rob Gay

Officiant

Get to know his face and name well as this is the man that has been instructed to yell at you if you bring your phone out during the ceremony - HA HA, not kidding.....

Let us introduce you to the groom's older brother, Rob! Not only does he get to call some people out with some quick whit joke, but he also has the privilege to say, "you may kiss the bride!"

Rob currently lives in Pocatello, ID where he likes to spend his time digging up dinosaur bones and talk about them all day like it's his job or something.... oh, wait that's because he is a Paleontologist! Yes, your inner 90's Jurassic Park fanatic child is screaming right about now.

Rob also likes to drink beer - specifically stouts - and chat about the most random but intriguing topics going on in the world. Be sure to catch him at the wedding and have a toast to an iconic Jurassic Park quote.

Valerie Wood

Matron of Honor

Valerie is the older sister to Michelle and currently resides in Grover Beach, CA. She is married to her long time love, Alistair, and a loving mother to 2 wonderful kids, Kaitlyn and Kailer. She works as a Medical Office Manager in San Luis Obispo.

Even with the 8 year age gap, Valerie and Michelle were always very close from the beginning. Michelle always looked up to Valerie as the "super rad older sister" ... even when Valerie threw mayonnaise sandwich's in her face.

Between all of the food fights though, Val always showed her gentle nature, with a sweet soul, kind heart, contagious laugh, and always the life of the party! Val is always there to listen and be supportive...

but don't let that fool you as she knows how to turn up the party on the dance floor! Let's face it.... if you're a daughter of Cheryl's you basically have the "Party Gene" inherited.

We look forward to a display of her dancing skills along with that Matron of Honor speech!

.... and watch out around her and food --- she likes to throw it at people!

Amber Henson-Payne

Bridesmaid

Growing up as sisters but with a 16 year age gap didn't feel like much of a sisterhood at the time. Really, back then Michelle and Amber's relationship was very much like mother-daughter that has brought them closer together now in adulthood.

Amber currently resides in Napa, CA where she practices Real Estate and is a wine connoisseur. She is happily married to her fun and crazy husband, Jamie. They have 3 beautiful children, Makenzie, Matthew, and Laura.

Amber brings her bubbly, infectious personality to any room along with a huge smile and contagious laugh - you can't help but to laugh along with her.

Find her at the wedding ... she'll be the one in the glasses shown in the picture with a glass of wine in her hand.

Makenzie Payne

Bridesmaid

The word "Aunt" became very, very special in Michelle's life after Makenzie was born. Kenzie may not have my eyes or smile but from the very first moment Michelle laid eyes on her, she suddenly had Michelle's heart.

Kenzie currently lives in Yountville, CA where she helps coordinates local events in Napa Valley. Makenzie loves to travel, go to concerts, dancing, and be with family. She also loves to nanny for several families and she just loves to go with the flow! She brings excitement, love, and joy to any event.

She is also a creator of all things fun, paying particular attention to the smallest details while being extremely detail oriented and organized...... basically she will be the bride's lifesaver on the big day.

The love between an aunt and niece is forever.



Lexi Humbard-Gay

Ring Bear

Lexi will be the borkiest, floofiest, and spazzmatic ring bear to ever walk down an aisle but she will be the most loyal pooch standing next to her momma's side when she says, "I Do!"

Cory Burkhart

Best Man

If you've ever heard a loud car racing down your street in Morgan Hill, the likelihood it was Cory and Kevin together is very high. Cory and Kevin have been best friends for well over 10 years, they love fast cars, and drinking good beer. It was only fitting to make him the Best Man!

Michelle and Cory also went to high school together and graduated in the same class but Michelle and Kevin hadn't met yet. Years later, Kevin said a friend was coming by the house and there was... Cory! It truly is a small world, especially in our tiny town of Morgan Hill! Running into Cory random points in your life happens a lot... and when you do run into him you will have either the best night of your life or one that you might not remember when the morning comes.

Watch out for that guy in the fast Porsche.... because it's probably Kevin's best man!

Daniel Aleksander

Groomsman

Who would've guessed that Kevin met his next groomsman through.... cars, of course! Daniel currently resides in Goleta, CA and works in Sales.

Daniel loves to entertain guests by hosting festive holiday parties, enjoy a fancy glass of wine, and take you out for a drive around town to show you around.

Daniel also had a rad furry pet named Gavin who was an American Eskimo. It was Gavin, who melted the hearts of Michelle + Kevin, which led to them finding their own American Eskimo (Lexi) and then a Samoyed (Bailey).

Daniel loves all four-legged, furry, borky, and tail wagging animals so don't be surprised when you see him partying with Lexi and Bailey at the wedding!

Greyson Gay

Groomsman

Greyson, or also known as "G," is Kevin's next true love - his second child that is already a teenager, going on 28! Michelle not only had to past the likings of one child, but two!

G currently lives with Michelle and Kevin in Morgan Hill, CA and going to high school. He plays the guitar, among many other musical instruments, and is also in the marching band. He hopes to be a famous musician one day.

G stays active with volleyball, hockey, and riding his bicycle around town. G hopes to travel to Japan one day, but Michelle and Kevin are afraid he won't ever come back if he does!

Who knows...when G becomes famous one day and you see him on the TV, you can say you met him at this awesome wedding you went too!

Bailey Humbard-Gay

Ring Bear

Bailey will walk proudly down the aisle to greet his Dad but not without giving each guest a few slobbery kisses and a donut-tail butt shake along with it.

Cheryl Humbard

Mother of the Bride

This right here.... ladies & gentleman.... is the Queen of the Party! Watch out for this woman, as she is the Mother of the Bride and Master of Parties. She knows how to get the party started and the one to keep it going all night long. She always finishes what she started, that's for sure.

Between all of the laughs and partying though, you won't miss those tears that will be pouring out of her eyes when she sees her "Boo Boo" walk down that aisle. She'll also be the one, front and center, clinging off of her seat during the ceremony... keep an eye on her though as she may try to slip in a photo on her phone but makes sure she gets right up in the shot!

Mom will not be missing a moment of the day, so don't be surprised when she seems a little bewildered but absolutely thriving and loving life.

Richard Humbard

Father of the Bride

Michelle is Rich's only daughter whom he calls, "Boo Boo." Another nickname he had for Michelle was "Mitchell" because that was the boy version for the son he never had. But little did he know, this little tomboy looking daughter of his would soon get him wrapped around her little finger he would never let go.

Growing up, Michelle loved to ride motorcycles with her Dad and play basketball in front of the house. Any challenge Rich put for Michelle, she was up for it. She would always want to be right next to her dad.. .whether it was working on cars or the Harley, putting up the absurd amount of Christmas lights up every year, or fishing.

It would only be fitting for Michelle to be next to her Father for one last walk... down an aisle to give her away.

Lynn Gay

Mother of the Groom

Originally from Buffalo, NY Lynn came out to the west coast in the early 70's with her husband, Steve. They planted roots in the Bay Area and she worked at NASA before she gave birth to Kevin. She stayed at home to help raise two young boys under 5. She is now a grandma to beautiful grandchildren, Angelina and Greyson.

Steve Gay

Father of the Groom

Steve came out to California in the early 70's with his wife, Lynn. They bought a house in the South Bay Area and they had 2 boys. Steve worked at GE in San Jose as a nuclear engineer and retired when Kevin was in high school.

Matthew Payne

This young, handsome gentleman is the bride's nephew who will gladly escort you to your seat for the ceremony. Matthew is the son to one of the bridesmaids, Amber.

Kailer Wood

Usher

This young, handsome gentleman is the bride's nephew who will gladly escort you to your seat for the ceremony. Kailer is the Matron of Honor's son.
