Dylan Yonts and Henriette Kitshoff
December 18, 2011
Henriette Kitshoff | The Bride
Henriette Kitshoff (soon to be Yonts) is a 7th grade language arts teacher. She is currently in graduate school working on a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Central Florida. When she is not teaching or learning, she enjoys jogging and playing with her two adorable (yet vocal) dogs, Holly and Penny. She considers Dylan the most understanding man on earth due to his tolerance of her hectic and draining schedule.
Dylan Yonts | The Groom
Dylan is someone who likes tech. That about sums him up. If you want to see more about him check out his new site.
Alesha Stinson | Matron of Honor
Alesha is Henriette's amazing Matron of Honor. They met almost ten years ago after Henriette and her family moved to Vero Beach from South Africa. They became instant friends after Alesha stated, "I want a foreign friend!" during their first encounter. Alesha continues to play a vital role in Henriette's life, and they continue to grow and change together through life's joys and challenges. She's an amazing wife, mother, daughter, and ultimately, a super friend!
Be sure to check out her new Joyful Handiwork site.
Sean O'Bryan | Best-Man
Dylan has known Sean since literally before they could walk. Growing up 3 houses down from one another has that effect. A couple of years back he was even Henriette's roommate in Orlando while Dylan was in Palm Bay still. Sean is currently working as an engineering tech and has been diving more and more into the world of photography everyday.
Hillery Masterton | Bridesmaid
<Hillery is Dylan's sister and one of Henriette's beautiful bridesmaids. She is full of spunk and humor, and you can always rely on her to get the job done, especially when creativity is a requirement! She resides in Palm Bay with her husband, Craig, and she is the manager of a Hallmark store.
Christina Hanjora | Bridesmaid
Henriette and Christina met at UCF in 2006. They had a few classes together, and became friends almost instantly. When Christina and Henriette moved to the Port Saint Lucie area around the same time in 2008, they really had the opportunity to bond. Christina is always there when a girl needs a friend! She currently resides in Orlando with her husband, Derek, and their adorable baby girl, Izzy.
Amber Giles | Bridesmaid
If not for Amber, the couple would never have met. As a mutual friend, Amber shared in many of Dylan and Henriette's adventures as they established their relationship. Originally from Iowa, Amber is a third grade teacher with a wedding of her own in the works (Amber and Brandon plan to wed in October 2011). Every wedding party needs a redhead!
Jacquie Cleary | Bridesmaid
Henriette and Jacquie met in 2007 after Jacquie moved to Florida from New Jersey. They were hired by the same school around the same time. They both had some difficulty adjusting, and Henriette will always be grateful to Jacquie for helping her through her first year of teaching. Jacquie is a brave, tough chick with a love for corgis and a very artistic husband, Mark.
Craig Masterton | Groomsman
Craig is Dylan and soon to be Henriette's brother in law, married to Hillery. He is currently working as a Technician at Tires Plus in Melbourne. When he is not there (which seems rare) he is at their new home in Palm Bay remodeling. If anyone is bored I'm sure they could use the extra help.
Ben Little | Groomsman
Ben thought Dylan's name was Dylan Sanders for several years, we are still not sure why. Ben is a great guy who is currently working two jobs, one as a Customer Service Rep for GSI and also delivering for Bizarros on Palm Bay Rd. Additionally he was Dylan's room mate for a little over a year.
Shawn Carter | Groomsman
Shawn is a jerk and moved to Arizona so he can not go to the islands, play poker, or drink rum on the beach with us anymore. He may one day move back and start a bar, that day can not come soon enough. If you see him and he does not answer to Shawn, try Joe.
And by the way, that is Henriette in the picture with Shawn.
Herman Kitshoff | Groomsman
Herman Jr is Henriette's brother and shares his name with their father. He has a doctorate in history and is currently instructing at a school in Cape Town, South Africa. We are glad he will be able to make the trip to our wedding and can't wait for him to get here.
Alaina Stinson | Flower Girl
Alaina (Lainey) is Alesha's little girl. She will be about twenty months old by the wedding date. She's cute as a button, and a perfect addition to our dream wedding!
