Emily & Trevor
Wedding Party
Emily Brooks
Bride
Trevor and I have been together for a bit over 4 years now! Crazy how times flies! I grew up in a really small town living only one road away from Trevor my whole childhood. After living our lives and disconnecting for a number of years, we found our way back to each other and here we are! We are getting married!! If we haven't had the opportunity to meet, I am so excited to meet you!
Trevor Stickl
Groom
Accountant by day, farmer by night. Grew up knowing Emily my whole life through her older sister Brittany. There were many times I found myself at the Brooks household. After living in Toronto for 4 years, and Germany, I really didn't have to look any further for my best friend than right around the corner. Looking forward to celebrating with all of you.
Brittany Brooks
Maid of Honour
Mom to Emerson. Engaged to my own personal Magyver, Tommy Lee. My hobbies include killing plants, drinking wine and eating tacos. I spend any free time I have at the barn. Riding my slightly enthusiastic, delicate flower of a horse named Atlas. I have a long history with both Em and Trev- which is rare I know but pretty cool. I obviously have known Em my entire life and oh I’d say I’ve known Trev for about about 27 years (ew, writing that makes me feel old) Emily of course is my sister. I have LOTS of stories to share, but don’t worry .. the best ones will be shared at the wedding for all to hear. As for Trev, we actually grew up one concession over from each other. Our friendship began in Kindergarten. Trev, Shane and I ruled the playground (or so we thought). There were quad ride visits and play dates at each other’s homes. We stayed great friends all the way up until Grade 8. Trev and I attended different high schools, but that didn’t stop us from visiting. Even in college, we would meet to catch up and chat about what was new in our lives.
Mat Ferguson
Best Man
Proud Father to my 15-month-old daughter Ryann and future Husband of my amazing fiancé, Avril. I am a dog lover, tortured Leaf's fan, and sports enthusiast. I enjoy music, fitness, the outdoors and relaxing around a campfire. I've known Trev as long as I can remember. Our friendship began while playing minor hockey together in Waterford. I still remember Sunday mornings after hockey practice at Stickl household playing NHL on the computer. Our friendship grew throughout high school and into university. I have so many great memories with Trev. Whether it was “site seeing” in Montreal, weekend homecoming trips, a trip to Calgary, golf, Christmas football, late nights at Swazzee's, farm work, or countless other random nights and weekends, we've always managed to have a good time. I first met Emily through Trevor. Her work ethic and ever-present smile were the first things that stood out to me. I knew very quickly that Trev was head over heels for her. I haven’t known Emily all that long, so I am eager to get to know her better and to continue to build our friendship! I am looking forward to the big day!
Rebecca Temple
Bridesmaid
Ontario born and raised, currently live in Alberta. Overly obsessed with my 2 cats and Disney. Soon to be wife of Joel. I first met Emily while in high school in good ol’ Tillsonburg but we didn’t fall into each other’s lives perfectly until 2015 when I came to work for her at the dance studio…even though she thought I was a spy. Emily quickly became the sister I never had and am so happy to call her my best friend. Our love for country music really sparked our friendship and had us attending multiple music festivals and concerts together that have led to so many unforgettable memories. Emily has stuck by my side even after I decided to move from Ontario to Alberta, we also love to play this expensive game of surprising each other in our home provinces.. I truly never know when she’s going to show up on my front door step. Whether it’s planning our weddings in the same year, chatting about dance routines or sharing a drink over FaceTime, Emily and I can always be found on FaceTime or Snapchat doing it together. I met Trevor through Emily briefly before moving and knew he was Emily’s perfect fit from his quick-witted personality and drive to always do his best. Now we both enjoy cracking jokes over FaceTime whenever they call I’m so excited to celebrate Emily and Trevor and be apart of their big day!
Shane Bergman
Groomsman
Married to my beautiful wife and high-school sweetheart and Dad to two boys! Recently retired from playing football and living back home in the big village of Teeterville. I’ve known Trevor since kindergarten and he’s stayed friends with me despite the fact that I kicked his teeth out in the second grade going down a snow hill. We’ve grown up together - ‘relocating’ signs in high-school, eating unlimited Big Mac wraps at Laurier and Trevor made an effort to take a couple ‘business trips’ to catch games in while I played in Calgary. I grew up with Emily’s older sister, Brittany so I’ve known Emily almost my entire life too- and it’s pretty cool how things have come full circle and I couldn’t be happier for the two of them.
Alexis Vandermaelen
Bridesmaid
My name is Alexis (everyone calls me Lexi). Emily and I go way back to 2003/2004 when we met through dance. She was quite the Hip-hopper and was a fantastic roomie at our dance competitions! Emily left the studio and we lost touch for many years.. We reconnected a few years ago; all thanks to Arbonne and it feels like we never missed a beat. Emily is my honest friend and doesn’t hesitate to tell me how it is… I love her beyond words for keeping my head on straight! She snaps me back to reality whenever I need it! Meeting Trevor, I knew Emily had found her perfect partner in crime to take on the world together. I am thrilled to watch these two amazing humans tie the knot in August and I am greatful to be part of this very special day!
Adam Howard
Groomsman and MC
Libra, 5’10 with shoes on. Enjoys long walks on the beach and Piña colada’s. I First met Trevor through coaching hockey, not coaching him but friends of his (it’s a little more involved than that) and in a small town our lives crossed more often than not. I met Emily through trev, we became friends and bonded quickly over our love for laying frost cloth, baseball, and being too blessed to be stressed.
Allison Vanberlo
Bridesmaid
I am one of Trevor's older (and occasionally wiser) sisters. Although I am 6 years older than him, we have always been close and I always turn to him to vent or check in to be sure I am not losing my mind. I spend my days in a dark room looking at peoples eyeballs and my evenings running after my favourite hockey player and princess. Trevor and Emily's wedding day will be my 11th Anniversary to my high school sweetheart. I have loved Emily from the moment she snuggled baby Lucy back on a cottage trip in 2018. Trevor and Emily always go out of their way to make the kids feel special and loved. I enjoy cooking, going on big or small adventures with my family, Marvel movies and beating Trevor at darts and 5km road races. My crew is so excited to be a part of this special day.

Groomsman
I attended university with Trevor at Laurier but never actually met him until they began their first gig at KPMG together. Subsequently bonded over bud lights and became hockey teammates (despite my lack of hands). I met Emily in the thick of asparagus / ginseng season and knew it was meant to be when she genuinely seemed interested in Trevor's advice on how to best dry tobacco leaves and where to source the best workers. I am a proud husband and father to twin boys, a big fan of the raptors, love to golf, hike and snowboard and has caught a few muskies in my day.
Melissa Stickl
Bridesmaid
I am the eldest of the three Stickl siblings and 8 years older than Trevor which certainly makes me feel like the senior of the wedding party. I married my best friend and closest colleague nearly six years ago at our home venue. I am extremely committed to my work as an architect and take my role of shaping the built environment very seriously. I enjoy gardening and canning, painting and collage, travelling, 5km runs, and spending quality time with family and friends. Although Trevor and I are 8 years apart, we have always been close. Allison and I were very excited to have a baby brother, and we may have dressed him up as our very own ‘live doll’ on more than one occasion. Trevor is one of very few people on my ‘speed dial’ who I can call for no real reason at all and still have a lengthy conversation. He is kind, hard working, only a touch argumentative, and comes highly recommended as a wedding emcee. I first met Emily at one of Trevor’s soccer games when they were in elementary school. I remember Emily being engaged in the game and supportive of Trevor, even at a young age. 20+ years later, it is clear to me that they are committed to each other and supportive of each others’ interests. I knew Emily was in it for the long haul when she started to help Trevor on the farm. She is conscientious, kind, gives good hugs and is only slightly scared by a 40th birthday sparkler not mine btw. I am looking forward to ‘standing up’ for them on their exciting day.

Groomsman
Busch lite enthusiast. Passions include hunting, fishing, anything to do with the outdoors. I met Emily through some pretty tough circumstances roughly 12 years ago, and I’m glad to be part of the family, it turned out to be one of the best friendships of my life. I met Trevor through Emily, I liked him as soon as he handed me a Busch and said “ can you hunt the coyotes on my farm” right there I knew they would get married.
Leah Torres

I’m married to my best friend, and I’m a mother to a 5 year old girl , 3 year old boy and we are expecting our 3rd in may! Yes, we are crazy! I had to trade in my Jeep Wrangler for a family SUV and I’m still not over it yet! My husband and I are huge Toronto Maple leaf fans, even though they break our hearts every year. I love playing hockey , boating, swimming and just being outdoors with the kids ! I love ti read and have an ice-cold beer by the bonfire with good company! I’m Emily’s cousin! We actually met later in life and I’m so glad that we did, because we be had nothing but good times and have become very close ! We’ve also gotten into harmless shenanigans together - her sister Britt was also present! I actually haven’t met Trevor in person yet BUT I’ve gone on a couple video chats with him and Emily , and he seems like a nice fella 😊! I’ve heard nothing but great things about him and I’m excited ti celebrate the two of them this summer !!!
Cam Bazilli
Groomsman
Proud father of three and married to my amazing wife Mallory. I enjoy sports, the outdoors, and all things real estate. I first met Trevor playing minor hockey in Waterford when we were kids, but it wasn’t until high school that our friendship grew. We played many sports together and spent time together outside of school hanging out, playing video games like Madden NFL, and helping out on the farm. After high school we stayed in touch and got together on weekends during university, made a tradition of playing Christmas eve football, and now enjoy grabbing a coffee to chat and catch up. I haven’t known Emily for very long but I have observed the connection that she and Trevor have. They share quite a few traits including a good work ethic, dedication and determination which will serve them well in their marriage. I look forward to getting to know Emily more and am excited and honoured to share in their special day!
