Matron of Honor
My little sister and partner in crime throughout childhood and teenage years. Barb is an NP in cardiology and an Advanced Practice Regional Manager for Ochsner Hospital in Kenner, LA - I am one proud big sis! Who knew that little blonde pigtailed girl who followed me around, fought with me and got me into more trouble (LOL 😈) would end up being my best friend in the world. I’m sure we gave dad most if not all of his gray hair but it has been an awesome ride! I could not imagine my wedding without her standing there with me (minus the pigtails 🤪) Thanks for being my sister and keeping life interesting and fun!
Bridesmaid
Beth is my best friend of over 25 years - that’s half our lives?!?!!! She lives in New Orleans and works for Hub International. Beth has been my partner in crime and confident most of my adult life. She’s the other tall girl in my tribe who speaks her mind and has been right there with me for all the craziness and fun. She was there the day I met Paul and we could not imagine getting married without Beth standing with us Here’s to another 25 years of craziness, friendship and keeping the nursing home staff on their toes 🤪😂.
Best Man
Kevin is Paul’s “little” big brother. Listening to them talk to each other sounds like no time has passed since they were kids playing lacrosse and battling over who beat up who. Paul is so proud to have his big brother stand by his side as his best man. We are so excited that Kevin and his family are going to be part of our wedding and our families. Welcome to the South, Kevin! Kevin will sport the Hulk sock as part of his best man outfit representing his strength and because Paul says that is the only way he can truly win the “who beat who” argument 🤣
Groomsman
Scott is one of Paul’s closest friends in New Orleans. He is a New Orleans police officer but Paul still describes him as the best bartender and mixologist on the planet. Paul thinks of Scott as his little brother and couldn’t wait to ask him to stand up for him at our wedding. We are so excited to have Scott and his wife Kandace in our lives and part of our extended family. Scott will be sporting the Iron Man socks as part of his groomsmen uniform for always having Paul’s back and because Paul says he’d probably like flying around, blowing things up and catching the bad guy
Groomsman
Kenny is Paul’s lacrosse teammate and the 2nd oldest player on the New Orleans Mambo professional lacrosse team. LOL. Together these two dominate the lacrosse field and show those young whipper snappers a thing or two about getting hit hard and playing harder. Paul is so happy to have Kenny as his groomsmen. Kenny will be wearing the Thor socks as part of his groomsmen uniform representing his strength and support for us and of course his good looks 😜
Bridesmaid
Melanie is a colleague with Allison at Memorial. They share an office and keep each other sane, if that’s even possible. Co-workers describe us as “Mallison” because we are always together, get things done and always bring the fun! Melanie is the “southern-est” of all the Southern belles you will ever meet. Her accent is one of a kind and personality is infectious.
Bridesmaid
Lorelai is the niece of the groom. She lives in Baltimore and describes herself as a girl who plays sports but is also a “girly girl”. Lorelai loves playing hockey and if she’s anything like her uncle Paul, she’s definitely a force to be reckoned with on the ice. We are so excited she is part of our wedding. Allison is over the moon to have a niece to spoil and she can’t wait to go dress shopping and getting their hair and nails done together - with her mom, Beth of course.
Groomsman
Lucas is the nephew of the groom. He lives in Baltimore and loves playing video games. He probably beats his uncle Paul’s high scores. His favorite subject in school is math. We are so excited to have Lucas standing in the wedding with his dad, Kevin. Allison is looking forward to having another nephew to spoil. We can’t wait to see Lucas in his tuxedo showing off his dance moves. Lucas will be sporting the Hawkeye socks as part of his groomsman outfit for his sharp dance skills and because his uncle Paul says he has Hawkeye skills when it comes to lego building.
Special Guest
Simon is one of our special guests and a member of the New Orleans Mambo lacrosse team. Simon (aka "The Rock" or "Shrek") is one of the loudest guys on the field but his size and strength (based on how many smaller players bounce off him during the game) is no match for his huge heart. His passion on the field is only a fraction of the love he shows for his teammates. We couldn't think of a better person to make a special appearance on our wedding day.
Flower Gal
Stephanie is part of Allison's girl posse. Her ferocious sense of humor will have you in side splitting laughter. We couldn't imagine Friday night porch nights without Stephanie. Stephanie is also very creative and responsible for our most awesome and clever wedding hashtag "SuttonlyBomhardt" My wedding would not be the same without Stephanie standing up with me. We couldn't be happier to have her as our special guest. Stay tuned for the unexpected as Stephanie brings the fun as our "Flower Gal!!"
