Allegra & Elliott
Wedding Party & Honorary Roles
Lora Samaha
Matron of Honor
Part-time mom, full-time best friend! Anyone who knows Allegra knows that the relationship between she and her mom is exceptional. Lora is the life of the party, the first one to volunteer to help, the Marie Kondo of event planning and the most loyal mom and friend.
Steve Taylor
Best Man
The man, the myth, the legend. Whether he is known to you as dad, father Steve, or just plain old Steve, there is no doubt that he is the Best Man. You'll likely find Steve at a pub drinking a pint while watching LFC, playing footie with his mates, or cooking up a mean meal.
Jessica Samaha
Bridesmaid
Jess is always down for a good time; anywhere, anytime. Jess is the first person Allegra would call if she were put in jail. She is loyal, loving, genuine and the best wife possible for Allegra's brother, Liam. Jess is one of Allegra's best friends, whom thanks to Liam is now also classified as family.
Liam Samaha
Groomsman
Brother of the bride, which means that Liam has had to deal with Allegra as long as Elliott has (and will need to). Liam comes off as quiet, but when he chooses to talk he will not disappoint. Liam is a new dad, an avid gamer and the go-to tech support mogul.
Becci Taylor
Bridesmaid
Becci is Elliott's sister by obligation, but Allegra's sister by choice (… kind of). Becci is a free spirit. She is easy going, relaxed and always looking to try something new. Becci lives life to the fullest and always bring an element of surprise to everything she does. Becci is an excellent dog mother, chicken farmer and plant gifter.
Byron Goodship
Groomsman
If Elliott is in trouble, he is likely with Byron. Byron is an adventurer at heart, and is always up for a good time. Byron was Elliott's first true heart break once he decided to move and settle down in Australia. No matter how long they go without seeing each other, Elliott and Byron get back together and act as if nothing has ever changed.
Jaime McClintock
Bridesmaid
Allegra has looked up to Jaime since she was a little girl. Jaime is the dream "big cousin" that everyone should have. She is honest, funny, charismatic and always up for a new adventure. Although Jaime is Allegra's cousin, she is far more like a big sister and a best friend. Whenever Allegra strives to take on a new adventure, Jaime is at the front lines cheering her on!
Simon Meili
Groomsman
Elliott and Simon met in Fire Cadets, which is ironic considering they tend to be a fairly irresponsible duo. Simon is always down to hike, ski or camp with Elliott. Simon made the move to Squamish, British Columbia recently, taking away Elliott's most reliable outdoor buddy. Sadly, this meant that Elliott is now training Allegra to take on this position (minus the snow).
Briana Nickel
Bridesmaid
Briana is too busy becoming a doctor in Australia and therefore may not be able to attend this wedding in person (*yawn*). No, but seriously, Briana is the most driven, goal oriented person in Allegra's life. Briana and Allegra are like two peas in a pod; they have been best friends and "cousins" since birth. Whether Briana can make it or not, she will always be a bridesmaid.
Tommy Marcin
Groomsman
Tommy, AKA Pretty Eyes is a crowd favorite for all people. Tommy is a fan of anime, music festivals and ironic Instagram content. He is a lover of all things that are unique or make people different. Tommy has an excellent fashion sense, with a notable highlight of short shorts. Elliott and Tommy are most compatible in the realm of their "salad".
Belle Keller
Bridesmaid
Things that you need to know about Belle: She is lactose intollerant. Everybody is obsessed with her. Everything that she says makes no sense, but also is totally related to the topic of conversation. She would give you the shirt off of her back without knowing your name, and she could make friends with a dead tree. The truth is, there is no real way to explain how amazing she is!
Mitchell Balog
Groomsman
Mitchell A.K.A Mitch, Mitchy or Itchy is always at the center of fun times. Elliott and Mitch spent 2 months backpacking Europe together, and with that Mitch know's more about Elliott than he likely cares to. Beyond being fun, Mitch is a consistent friend that will always have your back. Mitch's largest accomplishment? Introducing Belle into our lives.
Sarah Ellis
Bridesmaid
Allegra and Sarah have been best friends for 20 years. After bonding over their mutual social-awkwardness, Sarah and Allegra became inseperable. They share a deep love of dogs, iced tea, killing plants (by accident) and as of lately, making themselves cry during a good workout.
Nick Dutta
Groomsman
Elliott was lucky enough to steal Nick, as he was friends with Allegra first. Nick may be the reason that this group of friends has a group chat, infamously known as "Savage". Nick can tear you apart, all while still making you feel loved and understood. Nick is funny and outspoken, yet highly motivated and responsible.
Avari Thompson
Bridesmaid
Allegra and Avari became best friends after Allegra confronted Avari regarding a high school rumor that Avari was trying to snatch Elliott away. It turns out, Avari and Elliott were simply the first ones to the party of what became a magical 3-way friendship! Avari is the best combination of outgoing and shy. She can make an entire room laugh without even trying. No matter what, Avari has your back.
Austin Croft
Groomsman
Austin is the type of friend you want to bring home to mom and dad. He is loyal, funny, reliable and selfless. Beyond that, Austin has the worlds best eyebrows, invented the "croft-gun" (if you don't know now, you will) and always makes sure everyone is having a good time.
Marie-Eve Trudel
Bridesmaid
Marie-Eve is a one-of-a-kind independent, fearless and care free queen. No matter what or with whom, Marie-Eve is always up for some fun. She is adventurous, outgoing, whitty and open-minded. Marie-Eve and Allegra can go months without talking, and then when they re-unite they pick up right where they left off. Marie-Eve is the type of best friend that pushes you to be your best self, while also enjoying the ride.
Travis Green
Groomsman
Travis and Elliott are the type of friends that can have a good time, but are also able to have serious conversations and support each other when needed. Travis hosts an annual "boys trip" at his family cabin - however, this last year, "girls" were invited, as apperantly impending marriage changes the rules. Travis is easy going, hard working and loyal.
Hannah Morrow
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Allegra became best friends while discussing how awkward men can be on dates - ironically, they both married thier high school sweethearts! Hannah is outspoken, and will defend the people and things that she loves until the end of the earth. Hannah has a deep appreciation for drag, queer eye, dark humor and exceptional writing. If you need something, Hannah will undoubtably go out of her way to give you a hand.
Aiden Lee
Groomsman
If you are wanting to go on a hike and come back with the best pictures to be posted to instagram, Aiden is your guy. Aiden is always up for a good time, whether it is camping, hiking, a night out or staying in. Aiden can dish it out just as much as he can take it. He is easy to talk to, can get along with anyone and well-rounded.
Brandon & Erik Langford
MC's
With Brandon and Erik in charge of making sure the evening flow's smoothly, we are all bound to laugh a lot, cry a little and have a good time!
Vic Sealy
Officiant
Vic is a family friend who has supported Allegra and Elliott through some of their largest milestones to date. Vic was an elementary school principal before his recent retirement. He is eloquent, light hearted, funny and reliable. It only seemed fitting for Vic to keep our "I Do's" light, while also making sure we do everything right!
