Aleesha & Patrick
Wedding Party
Erin
Maid of Honor
Erin and I have known each other since my family and I moved to New Hampshire back in 2011 in high school. We had many fun laughs throughout school as well as creating our own breakfast club in our morning math class we had together. We disconnected for about a year after high school and bonded over our love for Disney. Since then we have lost count on how many Disney adventures we’ve been on together. We even celebrated 7 “ears” of friendship at Disney back in 2018 and here we are now 14 “ears” of frienship!!! Erin and I have had each other’s backs for many years and I couldn’t think of anyone better to be by my side on this special day.
Kyle
Best Man
I met this absolute (then) not giant of a man wayyyy back in grade school in Boy Scouts. Many a summer camp trip we had where we both learned the intricacies of Magic the Gathering. We continued our friendship as in middle and high school we both sang and did theater- from Lysander and Demetrius in A Midsummer Night’s Dream all the way to Sir Galahad (Kyle) and Patsy (Pat) in Monty Python’s Spamalot. After high school we stayed in touch but drifted apart a little; however after I graduated college and got sucked into League of Legends, Kyle roped me back when he said he also played. And from there blossomed our renewed friendship and friend group. Now a days we play D&D, ruminate about how we don’t deserve each other, and try food trucks and meads when we can.
Kendra
Maid of Honor
Kendra and I have known each other for a very very very long time. We are cousins! Kendra is a very funny and kind person she would never hurt a ladybug that flies by. I had the privilege of spending most of 2020 & 2021 together in NH during the pandemic. We had a grand adventure and a magical time at Disney once it opened back up. We still hold our own record of riding Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom 7 times in a row ...without getting sick! Kendra is an amazing person and I cannot wait to experience Our Magical Day with her.
Jake
Groomsman
So one of the first questions I get when I talk about college is "what did you do at College?" The things I usually respond with are work in the Campus Center... And I played Quidditch. Yes, that sport from Harry Potter. Thankfully, Jake was part of both with me. When we met freshman year and both wanted to referee our hearts out (eventually leading us to both be utilized in semifinals and final matches at the US Quidditch Cup), we forged an inseperable bond; one forged on the pitch and in the theater at the Campus Center where we worked with student groups to facilitate events. Over the years we progressed in our skills and were known colloquially as the Campus Center "power couple" due to our knowledge and aptitude. Now, Jake works for Disney (and just started on their Cruise lines) and I make a point to reach out to him anytime we go to Disney. And we could not be more thrilled to have Jake join us for our wedding.
Heather (H2O)
Bridesmaid
Heather (H2O) and I met at work! She actually got her nickname from me. When she started we had Heather already working there and someone called her Heather 2.0 but forgot the point “.” I laughed and call her H2O. The name ended sticking. She has such a kind heart and absolutely loves Taylor Swift! We bonded while at work and started to hang out together outside of the crazy work setting. She has amazing singing voice and is killer on stage with karaoke. She has mad skills on the dance floor especially to the Cotton Eye Joe. I can’t wait to have everyone see just how amazing she is. I’m so happy she will be there by my side as well as the dance floor at our wedding.
Scott
Groomsman
Scott (on the right, y’all already met tall boy Kyle) and I met as many people do now a days, which is online. Via gaming. Funnily enough, Kyle introduced me to Scott through the game League of Legends. Now we meet up yearly to see what we’re all up to, prank each other in real life, and have a great time. You should definitely ask Scott about the old bay chips when he roomed with Kyle after college. But overtime I've enjoyed seeing Scott more as he comes out to visit Kyle and when we visit him, and it's super exciting to have him celebrate with us.
Nicole
Bridesmaid
Nicole is such a MAGICAL person! She loves Disney just as much as I do. We’ve gone to Disney together and plan on it for the future! She has one of the most purest heart I’ve ever seen. She has a teddy bear for a dog and is so much fun to be around! We had mutual friend(s) that knew each of us and recommended we meet. At the end of the day she ended up my chiropractor! I’m so glad Nicole is going to be by my side on such a Magical day!
Andy
Groomsman
Andy, like Scott, I met via Kyle when playing the game League of Legends (online game). Myself and Andy quickly bonded over being the elder statesmen of the group (at the time); we still do whenever we play Age of Empires 2 or anything else that drastically dates us. The first time I met Andy, he cleaned me right out playing poker. Mainly because i had never played poker but also i had no poker face. From there we've bonded over varying life events, music, and a shared love of taking it easy when gaming. I love seeing Andy in person to catch up, even if I wear jeans to the beach. We're extremely happy Andy is able to celebrate with us.
Tyra
Bridesmaid
Tyra is one of the most kindest person I’ve know. She and I met at work and bonded over our pumpkin carving skills at a work Halloween activity! Even though we didn’t win 1st place for our pumpkin I know we won regardless because it broke the ice for us to become friends. She and I have gone to many renaissance fairies together and she even beat me with a turkey leg (please see photos above). I cannot wait for all the future adventures we will have and have her by my side on our special day!
JP
Groomsman
John-Paul (JP); the first guy i met in retail banking. I remember on my first day he was very helpful as I was (accidentally) led to the sales offices and not the teller line, when i was hired to be a teller. We laughed about it, and overtime we bonded over shared loves of fantasy, star wars, and being men in a predominantly (at the time) non-male dominated area. In fact we once had a member remark about how there were too many men in the sales and service area! But as we progressed in our careers we would play one-man pseudo Dungeons and Dragons using a dice roller and our work chat system, and now I've recruited JP to two of my tables for D&D! We survived the pandemic in the banking industry, and we're excited to have JP here to celebrate with us!
