Our Lake Wedding
Wedding Party
TJ Thomas
Groom
He's sarcastic, smart, energetic, funny (at least he thinks he is), and charming. He'd sell his soul for some chicken over rice or Schnitzel, and he loves America's Team, The Dallas Cowboys and playing sports (even though he's clumsy). He's incredibly sweet and he'd give the shirt off his back for you. He's the only person I know who'd manage to break 4 ribs and still give a thumbs up with a smile on his face on the stretcher. His positive energy is so contagious and I couldn't imagine a day without seeing his bright smile. He's the package deal and the perfect friend and partner.
Amalia O'Brien
Bride
My gorgeous Irish sweetheart. She's caring, loving, a sour patch kid (sour then sweet lol), smart, funny, a baller on the tennis court and a lover of the environment. She likes to cook especially Italian food but would skip dinner anyday for desserts (would get in a van for ricotta cookies). She has a competitive spirit and shows great empathy to those who are less fortunate. The only Scranton girl to have a Brooklyn accent during road rage and an Irish accent at other random parts of the day. She's my best friend, future wife and will be a great mother.
Kathryn O'Brien
Mother of the Bride
My wonderful mom who has been there for me through everything and whom I share my favorite TV shows, love for reggae music, and ability to cook Italian food with. She's my favorite "older sister" to go to concerts with. She is and always has been my rock and I can depend on her for anything :)
Fergal O'Brien
Father of the Bride
My hilarious and crazy Dad who never ceases to make me laugh, knows exactly what to say to make me happy, and always has a smile on his face (: I don't know what kind of person I'd be without my rebel Irish dad.. I get my road rage, compassion for others, humor, and big mouth from you and I wouldn't change a thing! <3
Paul J Holmes
Step Father of the Bride
My step dad who taught me how to drive, play basketball & softball, and hit tennis balls with me. You're always there to teach me something new and coach me along the way. I treasure the many jokes we make and how we always have a good laugh together! I'll always be there to cheer you on for your races and everything else, as you have been there for me :)
Haley O'Brien
Maid of Honor
My super silly sister and best friend that I love more than air itself! She's talented, funny, loves The Office and would stop and talk to anyone and form a connection with them. She is so genuine and no matter how much I teased you, and beat you in every game/sport, you were always such a joy to be with. Love ya Weewers!
Carolyn Thomas
Mother of the Groom
My DAY ONE! My beautiful Mom who has been there for me everyday of my life from yelling at me for not spelling words right in grade school to cheering me on in sports to getting dinner and drinks now at Andy Gavin's. Love her so much and I forgive her for giving me a bowl cut when I was too young to make my own choices lol, jk we looked great.
Tim Thomas
Father of the Groom
My Dad.. Honestly it's hard to tell us apart which is a good thing. He is an amazing father and friend. We have too much fun together from driving my Mom nuts when I was a kid to now driving Amalia nuts. If we're both missing, check lake wallenpaupack or call the golf courses in the area.
Ronnie Morgan
Best Man
Ronnie is my best friend and has always been there for me when it mattered. Our origin story is pretty funny as in grade school we were never too close because I was all sports and he was not lol. Things have changed since as he is now the BEST MAN. Ronnie will tell you he is the reason Amalia and I are together as he did have Amalia text me to bust me for not being at a friend's graduation party when I didn't know her at the time and well, I guess the rest is history. He is one of the most important people in my life and our life as Amalia and I like to call him our son. He is the life of the party, everyone needs a friend like him (he's mine though) and he will have one of the funniest best man speeches ever. If we're both missing check Panchero's or the bowling alley.
Alex Simrell
Officiant
Alex has been one of my best friends since grade school. We used to say he was going to be a priest but instead he chose to study greek and latin classics to become a computer engineer in the silicon valley. He is an amazing and genuine down to earth person who can do anything he can put his mind to. Amalia and I asked for him to be our officiant which he was honored to do, we are blessed to have him in our lives.
