Tabitha Leanne Ruark & Jonathan Daniel Kreilaus
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Top Honors
Lyndsey (Bull) Presnell and Tabitha met in high school (9th grade) and at first Lyndsey was intimidated by Tabitha. But for senior year, Lyndsey was to be the Teens for Christ president and Tabitha the vice president. They decided at the Junior year Ice Cream social that they would most likely become close friends. It was a good business decision. :^) She will serve as Tabitha's Matron of Honor.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joseph Kreilaus is Jon's younger brother and will be his Best Man. They were only 2 years apart and so they were very close growing up and still are to this day. Jon and Tabitha miss Joe and his wife Miranda, but are excited for them to come up for the wedding (and any other time they come up from Mississippi).Side note: You'll have to forgive me for not having pictures of the guys together... Jon has not been carrying a camera in his purse for the past 5 years like I have. ;^) --Tabitha

The Other Ladies
Ashley Ferguson (Also known as 1st Ashley, Awwuu, or Fergie) and Tabitha met as roommates for Freshman year at OU. It was a huge adjustment to meet someone and then live with them, but they hit it off and the year molded them into livelong friends. She is going to be Tabitha's Bridesmaid.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sarah (Erhardt) Connelly and Tabitha also met Freshman year at OU. Sarah lived kinda across the hall from Tabitha and Ashley and nearly the entire wing of 7E was close. Sarah was an added bonus, though, because she originated from Jenks, which was about an hour from where Tabitha came from. They got to visit each other over breaks and sometimes they carpooled. :^) Sarah is going to be Tabitha's Bridesmatron. And yes, that just may be a made up word.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Other Gent
Derrick Ivory is Jon's friend that he met from church way back when (sometime after Jon was 16 yrs. old?) and will be another one of Jon's groomsmen. Derrick and Jon have always been there for each other and Derrick was particularly a great source of encouragement when Jon was trying to convince Tabitha to date him. Thanks, Derrick!Honorary Party Members
Tsonyah Blake was asked to be a bridesmatron (hehe!), but had to turn down the offer. :^( Oh well, as far as Tabitha is concerned, Sony will be up there by her side on her big day, whether or not she actually gets to attend the wedding or not!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Josh Kreilaus, Jon's other brother, was supposed to be Jon's groomsman, but now he and his family are not sure that they will be able to make it down from Montana for the wedding. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dillon Kreilaus, Jon's nephew, was also supposed to be Jon's groomsman, but he will be in Police Academy at the time of the wedding.
