Wedding Party

Molly

Bridesmaid

Hi my names Molly, I met abbey years ago at the Hive gym as one of her pilates clients. We quickly became the best of friends. We both share a love for health and fitness. Besides that hobby, I also enjoy my time with my ten year old son, James, and my French Bulldog, Spuds. I am a Western NY native, currently living in East Amherst. I work as a school librarian. Really excited to be a part of Abbey and Eric's wedding party. Absolutely thrilled with the venue since I haven't spent time in the beautiful Chautauqua area in years!

Brynn

Bridesmaid

Brynn Patterson met Abbey through their love of all things Pilates! Brynn is a Physical Therapist and owner of Southtowns Pilates in East Aurora, NY. Brynn and Abbey have been working together for the past couple of years through all the challenges of keeping their Pilates businesses alive during a pandemic. Brynn lives in East Aurora with her husband Shawn, 2 kids Gia (13) and Andrew (11) and their 2 English Springer Spaniels, Roxy and Ben. When not watching her kids play hockey Brynn and her family love staying busy skiing in Ellicottville in the winter and sailing during the summers.

Sam

Bridesmaid

Hi, I’m Sam. I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but moved to Buffalo a few years ago. I met Abbey at a ‘moms night out’ gathering shortly after moving here and we’ve been friends ever since! I have two young kiddos and enjoy exploring the outdoors.

Jen

Maid of Honor

Abbey and I met in college and were instantly inseparable. Her friends became my friends and her family became my family. We even worked together. I’m a mom now living in Florida and looking forward to celebrating Abbey, Eric and Giles! We’ve done it all together and I’m honored to be together on her special day.

Shelby

Bridesmaid

Hi I’m Shelby, a fun loving Buffalo gal. I am always cracking jokes and trying to lighten the mood with my breezy attitude. I’ve held many titles in my life, but being Abbey’s friend has been one of my favorites. I met Abbey when her parents came into the distillery I worked at and were waiting for Abbey, because she was late (to no one’s surprise, I’m sure). We were telling stories about our days as young girls who were a force to be reckoned with. Abbey’s mother, Tammy, then leaned over to Abbey and said, “I think you’ve found your new best friend.” From that moment on, we were the best of! I’m excited to share this special occasion with Abbey and I am extremely great full that she has invited me to be a part of it. I’m excited for the big day and can’t wait to meet all of you there!

Eric has been my cousin for as long as I can remember. But he’s also been like the brother I never had. Months can go by in-between visits but every time we see each other it’s like no time has passed at all. Somehow every trip to Buffalo is better than the one before and Eric has always been a huge part of that. Nonstop movie quotes, golf rounds, and gas station runs for nutritious snacks have formed memories that I’ll have for a lifetime. He’s one of the best guys I know and I’m so happy that he’s found his forever love in Abbey.

Jimmy

Best Man

I guess to know someone for 39 years qualifies me to be Eric’s best man. Cousins, friends, partners in crime, we each had that ability to bring out the best and the worst in each other. We were not happy if our days together did not include trading baseball cards, walking into town, shooting off toy cap guns, hitting golf balls, playing baseball in the yard and pool in the basement and then Ending the days with rodeo burgers and fries. Great to see my best bud with someone as special as Abbey! Happiness forever!!
