| Jackie Wolverton |
|
 |
| Another amazing event that Jackie and I get to put in the memory books. We have shared great times and this was definitely the pinnacle for me. It was great to have Jackie there as she (and Jon) have been very involved with mine and Kent's relationship from the very start. Thanks for all of your love and support during the wedding and for making sure Kent made good on what he told you only a month into our relationship. Many thanks again for the parties and your help with the wedding details and we were honored to have you stand up for us! |

| Cheryl Isbell |
|
 |
| As always, Cheryl is the friend that comes through, from the amazing bachelorette weekend, to something old (and of course she gave it to me vs.) borrowed and blue, toasting glasses, cake cutter, etc. Her constant support is amazing and her speech brought back so many fun and cherished memories. Thank you (and Don and my Godchildren, DJ and Chase) for being such wonderful friends to me and now us, throughout our dating up to and including our wedding. I thank you for being such a great and loyal friend and thank you for always being there and for standing by me through everything!! |
|
| Nicole and Crystal Reitmeir |
|
 |
| It was so wonderful to have Nicole (right) and Crystal (left) standing by my side. Through all of the years, you have both become such wonderful and cherished Sisters and friends. Their encouragement and excitement towards this union was definitely felt from the begin. Thank you for your enthusiasm towards our wedding and for both of you being so inviting and cordial to your new Brother-in-law. And if you take anything away from this wedding, please let it be that you each wait for your Prince! |

| Allie Hary |
|
 |
| It was nice having Allie and (her very soon-to-be "Husband") Mike at the rehearsal dinner and wedding festivities. We look forward to attending their wedding in the next few months and wish for much fun and excitement in the lives of the future Mr. and Mrs. We hope that Mike and Allie have some amazing lifetime adventures to share with one another and wish them all the best with all that they experience as husband and wife. |

| Kim Sterling |
|
 |
| From the very first message that Kim left once she learned that we were engaged, Kim has expressed and demonstrated her excitement about this union. Thank you again for being such a wonderful moral support and an integral part of each and every event, through and including the wedding ceremony. As indicated, I look forward to growing upon the fun Sister-in-law relations that we have formed to date already. |
|
| Franki Cricchio |
|
 |
| Franki was such an important part of this wedding and we were honored to have her sing a beautiful and very meaningful song to us. What a great job, especially with all of the emotion and pressure. We are very excited to see how far Franki will go in life and know that the world is her oyster. Thank you for your constant good attitude and helpful nature with all elements of our wedding. Your enthusiasm is contagious. And again, I am very excited that I am a new Aunt to yet another wonderul Niece! |
|
| Melanie and Samantha Wolverton |
|
 |
| And speaking of wonderful Neices .... Melanie (right) and Samantha (left) were ideal for the role of Flower Girls (although they ended up wanting bouquets so they were more of Junior, Junior Bridesmaids). We were very happy to have them stand by our side, as they will be an integral part of "Uncle" Kent and Aunt Sho's world and we cherish that they are such important and instrumental kids in our lives. You both looked like little Princesses! Well done Mel and Sami! |
|
| Robin Collins |
|
 |
| Robin was the one-and-only thing (well, with the exception of Michelle's Mom of course) that was missing from our special day. If anyone earned the right to finally watch me marry my Prince, Robin was in the top three. As you know Robin, having another wonderful baby was the only reason I would let you out of not standing by my side. Once you see the toast that we did specifically to you on the wedding video, you again will know that you were missed. Congratulations to you and Bill on completing your beautiful (and testosterone filled) family. Wow, boy #3! Welcome Pierce!! |

| Terry McCarthy |
|
 |
Terry once again proved to be that friend that will do anything for us. Each time we needed help with something related to this wedding, Terry was there to give it. And how about that speech?!?! Wow! Not only were we moved, but we have heard that many of you were as well. That is a good speech in our estimation. Terry's enthusiasm towards our wedding definitely proved to be very high, as he took his role of Best Man with such respect and enthusiasm. We thank you Terry and each of us appreciate having you as one of our long-time and valued friend! |
|
| Dave Ueltzen |
|
 |
Dave has been there since elementary school, so to have him there for the beginning of this phase of life was so obvious and very moving. Having his great sense of humor .... Dave has been a close friend and a great support through everything from the years that I participated in racing, through and including starting my career in the world of racing. Dave is still that friend that I can call anytime and we immediately go right back to exactly where we left off last time we spoke. I am grateful to have him as one of my closest friends. |
|
| Bobby Carter |
|
 |
Bobby and I originally met through his Dad, Bob (who I instructed in driving school and who ended up being Michelle's instructor when she went through driving school) in the early '90s. I worked with Bobby to assist in his racing development and ultimately we became very close friends. He is a friend that will always be there for you to offer support and/or to just listen and help you through something. Bobby has been a great friend and has a world of experience and maturity for his age. |
|
| Bud Wilkinson |
|
 |
| An integral part of his support team at the race track and now at our wedding as well. It was great having your fun-loving charm and easy going nature at our wedding weekend festivities. Just as Kent appreciates having Bud at the races, we are equally as honored that he shared our wedding with us a well .... especially since it meant he was going to give up being with family and friends at home to celebrate his birthday with us in Santa Barbara. |
|
| Jon Wolverton |
|
 |
It was a Yaaaahoooo moment for Jon, as he finally gets another Brother-in-law (and gets to part with his "other" wife! Well, at least one can hope.) Kent is also very excited to have to have a new Brother-in-law and good friend to hang out with. Very different and yet, so very similar (which is exactly how Jackie and Michelle are described, so it should work out to be a great relationship). Thanks for all of your moral support from the beginning and yet again with all leading up to and including the wedding Jon! |
|
| Sal Cricchio, Jr. |
|
 |
| Nicknamed "Oss", I am a proud Uncle to Sal Jr., as I have had the opportunity to watch him grow and develop into a young man and overall great person. I look forward to the many experiences that we will share in the future and am also proud to have him be involved and supporting me at this time. |
|
| Tommy McCarthy |
|
 |
| Tommy also handled his Ring Bearer role with unshaken nerves, which is not easy under all of that pressure. (Check him out manuvering that pillow with such balance and concentration!!) We were delighted to have Tommy be an instrumental part of transporting our symbols of love and unity to us on our special day. And he also had alot of responsibility in making sure that Kent did no 'sweet-ha's' on the wedding day. Thanks and good job Tommy! |
|
| A quick note to all of our friends and family, especially our wonderful attendants ..... |
|
 |
We "thank you" for being an instrumental and supportive element in our lives. We have been honored to have each and every one of you by our side throughout all of the years preceeding our time together, the memories and moments of both our dating and engaged times with each other and now with all of the events leading up to and including our very exciting BIG day .... and more importantly, the amazing life we know we will have together especially with your love and support!! Much love and appreciation to all of you! Kent & Michelle |
