We would like you to meet our royal entourage! These are the wonderful people that were part of our very special day. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to them for being there for us as we embarked on our journey towards holy matrimony.

Brandy says it is good to be the princess . . . even if she has to put up with some imposters. Terry hasn't figured out yet that he really doesn't want the job of princess . . . king would be better - if she'll let him be king!

| KAYLA RENEE SKLUZAK ~ Flower Girl |
Kayla is the very special daughter of Terry. She is eight years old and enjoys all things "princess" too!! She loves to dress up in princess costumes - so she will be very excited coming down the aisle dressed in her beautiful princess dress, throwing petals to the floor paving the way for the princess bride. She enjoys playing dolls with Brandy and she also enjoys riding her bike, playing mommie with her dolls, and riding her jeep. She loves spending time with her crazy dad, who makes her laugh all the time! |

Terrence Joseph, better known as TJ, is the son of Terry. TJ is all things boy, which delights his dad to no end. Terry couldn't wait to gift his son with the all important "First Football Jersey". TJ is five years old and is enjoying Kindergarten. He loves to play with his Power Rangers, Hot Wheels cars, and remote control cars. When outdoors he loves to go four-wheeling in his Jeep and jump on the trampoline. But his passion right now is playing with his Playstation - and that makes him a chip off the old block - just like good old Dad! |

| KRISTY and DARRELL SMITH ~ The Mother and Father of the Bride |
Kristy and Darrell Smith are my beloved parents who are so dear to me. My mom keeps very busy working as a nursing supervisor in a doctor's office. She is not only my mom, she is also my very best friend. She is always ready to lend a helping hand to everyone and always has a kind word to give. She is so amazing, with never a complaint. If I could be anyone in the world for a day, I would be proud to stand in my mom's shoes. She enjoys sunning by the pool, shopping and playing cards with Terry, Dad and I - and whenever possible, she loves going to Las Vegas. My dad is an amazing man and I am so proud of him. He gives so much love and care to his family. I am told that I have a lot in common with my father and many say nothing could be more like him than I. Maybe that is why we bump heads - we are so alike in so many ways, even the way we think. My dad loves his boat and enjoys catching grouper in the Gulf of Mexico. He also loves Las Vegas, poker night with the family and even shopping with mom. My parents have been together in a relationship since they were fourteen years old and I admire them so much. I know my future husband and I will walk along the incredible path that my parents have taken.
Thanks, Mom and Dad!!

| JIM and DEBBI SKLUZAK ~ Father and Mother of the Groom |
Jim and Debbi Skluzak have the honor of being my Parents. To this day I believe I was their greatest achievement and they should be proud. On a more serious note, I don’t know where I would be without them. I am truly blessed to have them and would like to take this time to thank them for being there for me in times when I was at my weakest, for encouraging me to set goals that at one point I thought were unreachable, and for all the support they’ve given me to help me reach where I am now. For if it wasn’t for their love, guidance, belief and support, who knows where I would be right now. My Mother has always been the staple of our family. She loves the Arts, musicals, ballets and most of all me, lol. She’s an artist herself and everything she seems to touch turns into gold. This website for instance, is my mother’s doing and as you can tell, she’s outdone herself again. She has always kept a watchful eye on us 4 kids. I say 4 because my dad is a kid himself, and he’s the only one left that won’t grow up. Personally, I think my mom deep down loves that about him, because she’s always had a big heart and loves to take care of people that can’t take care of themselves . . . lol. My father, the 4th kid, is a wonderful person, who always finds a way to make things happen. If something seems to be unreachable, he always had words of wisdom to to keep us motivated. Words like “If you don’t stop crying, I’ll give you something to cry about!” All joking aside, my father is a great man and has always been there when I’ve needed him most. I may not of taken all the advice he’s given me, but for some reason I always find myself reciting him to others when they need my advice. Funny, isn’t it? Heaven knows how far I’d be if I had followed his advice from the start. He spends his days playing in the garage and relaxing in his computer chair playing games online. My family likes to joke saying that the only way we’d be able to recognizing him in a crowd is if we saw the back of his head instead of the front. (Inside joke for those who didn’t laugh) I would like to finish this off by thanking both of you again for everything and I can’t wait to see you when I marry one I was meant to be with. Love you both. |
