Alex & Barbara
Wedding Party
Tara Hunter
Barbara's Maid of Honour
Tara and I met in the back of the Stetson University coffeehouse where we all congregated around the most comfortable leather sofa/coffee table combo there was as we both crammed away for our exams. From that day on, our hangouts became daily, and our friendship grew. From our shared love of Orlando theme parks, hiking on off-season ski slopes, and being food connoisseurs, I knew our friendship was bound for adventure. She's one of the most considerate and charismatic people I know and always lends and ear and advice whenever I need it. I can always rely on her to provide multiple views. Must be that law background. XD "YOU GO BEST FRIEND" Moment: Tara has written a ton of short stories. I've had the pleasure of reading all of them and the beginnings of her novel, they are amazing. She is also an editor, so she will probably read this and then tell me what I need to correct.
Katie Matthews
Barbara's Matron of Honour
Katie and I met aaaaaallllll the way back at the young ages of 4 and 3. We went to different elementary schools and connected again in the 6th grade over music, books, and love for all things creative. Once we stumbled across a newspaper clipping of us playing during our beginning years, our friendship has soared ever since. Inuyasha marathons, Sims 2 build extravaganzas, and crafting parties had us bonding over everything. She's one of the most affectionate and protective people I know. She knows what I need before I even have to say anything and always has my back. "YOU GO BEST FRIEND" Moment: Katie is one of the most creative people I know. Sewing, crocheting, perler bead art, painting, beadwork, you name it, she can do it. She makes the most adorable bat plushies!
Zoe Mitchell
Alex's Matron of Honor
Zoe and I met about 8 or so years ago through a mutual friend. I remember being so excited about a conversation that I threw something in the air for exaggeration. She joined in on the chaos and the deal was sealed. From smashing mugs in a friend's back yard, being coworkers at multiple different companies, and Saturday Morning Hiking Rituals, I really can't think of what my life would be like without her. Probably really boring and with a lot less animal facts! "YOU GO BEST PAL" Moment: While we were working at Cabinets.com, Zoe and I found a Wood Duck with an injured wing on our lunch walk. She managed to catch the duck in her cardigan and we took it to the emergency animal hospital on our break. Zoe has done many things to amaze me in the years, but this is one of my favorite moments.
Sylvia Quetel
Alex's Maid of Honor
Sylvia has been in my life...well since birth! She was one of the first people on the whole ding dang planet to hold my tiny baby body. I believe her words were "This is our baby", at least this is what I've been told! Sylvia has been a pillar in my life in the same way folks see their siblings. From hanging out in her mom's sewing room after school in St.Thomas, playing video games and having movie marathons in her room, and always my cabin buddy whenever we're out on family vacations, I honestly don't know where my life would be without her around. Probably also boring! "YOU GO BEST PAL" Moment: Sylvia's very thorough, and always willing to help however she can! She's very creative, offers a refreshing perspective, is probably one of the most understanding people I know, and isn't afraid to stand up for what she feels is right. I'm really lucky to have her in my life!
Sabrina Macho
Barbara's Honourary Maid of Honour
Sabrina and I met one fated day in an intro to programing class and we hit it off as easy as: class HelloWorld { public static void main (String[] args { System. out. printIn ("HelloWorld!"); // Hello World! } } From midnight drives and all nighters at the 24 hour Starbucks to videoing the sunrise and scream singing the Circle of Life, she was someone who would be in my life forever. She's one of the most caring and easygoing people I know and never fails to make me feel better anytime we are able to actually converse (Living in Denmark six hours ahead to me is so hard to coordinate XD). "YOU GO BEST FRIEND" Moment: Sabrina is literally one of the best compositors in the animation business. Like, so freak'n talented. She worked on the Bob's Burgers Movie!
