Wedding Party
April Biondolillo
Officiant
April has been a close friend and mentor to me (Ana) through the last few years, always pointing my back to God in a lot of challenging seasons. She is encouraging, loyal and passionate and we are grateful and honored to have April officiate our ceremony.
Eavan Gilhuly
Maid of Honor
Eavan and I met randomly at the end of my freshman year of college and then soon realized that we were gonna be on student leadership together the next year. Sure enough, sophomore year, we became so close right away. Junior year, we decided to be room mates and we entered our second year of student leadership together. Eavan truly gets me and I don't think I could've made it through college without her. I am honored to have her stand up with me on the day I say "I do."
Anders Glossinger
Best Man
My brother Anders has been one of my best friends for many years. Although we fought as older and younger brothers often do as they grow up, we have found a deep friendship and brotherly love since. We both share deep passions for hockey which helped spark our now deep relationship. It is hard to have moved away and not be able to be with Anders and see him as often. Anders has shown me what it is like to care deeply about others and gives undivided attention to those he is supporting. He has helped me become who I am today and I am honored to have him stand with me on my wedding day.
Mckayla Jameson
Bridesmaid
Mckayla and I have been best friends since we were 9 years old. She lived right around the corner from me growing up and we became inseparable literally the moment that we met. Our friendship was the type where our parents basically treated us as siblings and we were allowed to have triple sleep overs and play together even when we weren't allowed to play with anyone else. Even throughout moving across the country, mckayla and I made it a goal to plan yearly visits and FaceTime all the time to remain close. I don't where I'd be without her!
Micah Lorenz
Groomsman
Micah and I met during my freshman year of college but became close as I joined campus ministries during my sophomore year at Northwest University. Micah initially mentored me through so many questions I had as I was growing in my faith and wrestling with doubts and questions. But our friendship has since grown and we have enjoyed cooking together, watching sports, and spending time together. He was a constant and loving presence in my life through many formative years. He and his wife Cristina have also been a huge blessing to Ana and I over the past few years. It was an easy choice to have him stand next to me as I get married.
Victoria Copeland
Bridesmaid
Vicky and I met in high school at youth group. We barely knew each other but we as we began to serve in different capacities and had mutual friends we soon started to hang out more. Little did we know that a couple years into knowing each other we would become best friends. Vicky has seen me through a lot of seasons and has been one of my biggest encouragers in my faith. I truly don't believe I would even be studying ministry without the encouragement of Vicky in my life. She has been such a constant and I don't want to imagine life without her.
Jonathan Wong
Groomsman
Jonathan and I met during our freshman year at Northwest University. Through floor events and classes, we quickly became friends. Our friendship grew as we went through school and found that we both have a passion for cooking and consuming amazing food! Jonathan has shown me what it is like to have joy in the midst of mystery and change. He is an amazing leader at his church and I have learned so much from his passion for worship. I am very thankful for our friendship and I cannot wait to have him supporting me on my wedding day.
Allyson Farstad
Bridesmaid
Allyson and I met my freshman year of college in choralons. She had the position that I was soon going to get in student leadership (Hospitality and Choralons Coordinator). At first, Ally was a friend that was kind of my one person outside of my few friends in the dorms that got me out and doing things since freshman year was in the thick of covid. But our friendship soon turned into much more. Allyson is my adventure buddy, always ready to go anywhere and do anything. I count count on her to always be there for me and celebrate me so well for everything. I am thankful for Allyson and couldn't imagine saying "I do" without her.
Tyler Ramirez
Groomsman
Tyler and I met during my last year at NU. We deepened our friendship as we both attended and serve on the worship team at Northshore Community Church. While we haven't been friends for long, Tyler has shown me what it is like to authentically follow Jesus. Through out conversations, he has encouraged me to follow Jesus even in the midst of hardship. And in other times, our conversations are often full of fun and I enjoy his company. It has been a blessing getting to know him and I cant wait to have him with me on my wedding day.
Corrine Booth
Bridesmaid
Corrine and I met in college through student leadership as well as through choralons. When I tell you that I never laugh as hard as I do then when I am with Corrine. She is fun, always up for an adventure, consistent and a champion of people. She celebrates well and truly has such a huge heart for people. I am always inspired when I am with Corinne because of how well she serves. I couldn't say "I do" without her!
Micaiah Wilson
Groomsman
Micaiah and I met in high school and became close friends through our junior and senior years as we pursued music. We both chose Northwest as a school and were roommates for 3 of the 4 years we attended! Micaiah has taught me the value of laughter and enjoying what is at hand. From many nights staying up late talking about random things, to watching anything from soccer to anime, Micaiah was always ready to welcome others to enjoy. He has been a joy in my life and I am excited for him to be with me when I am married.
Hannah Carlin
Bridesmaid
Hannah has been such a constant for me this last year. I got so close with Hannah very quickly and am honored to call her one of my closest friends. When I am around Hannah, I feel unbelievably valued and cherished. There is never an agenda on Hannah's mind when she is with people. She is present and engaged always and loves to encourage. Hannah has been a part of a lot of big changes with me in the last year and never once left me without support. She cares whole heartedly and I can't imagine where I'd be without her!
Jared Rosas
Groomsman
Jared and I had the privilege of living together for both of our last years at Northwest. He and I enjoyed many good conversations and long stretches of cooking in the kitchen together. Jared has a heart of gold and embodies what it means to listen attentively and allows people to be seen and loved. He has helped me learn the importance of personal interaction and care for people in the moment. I am beyond excited to have him standing with me on my wedding day!
Emily Brestin
Bridesmaid
Emily is my oldest sister, 6 years older than me and she has always been my adventure buddy. I am thankful for the many different experiences we have shared, especially the crazy adventure in St Vincent. We might not always see eye to eye as we are both extremely stubborn, but I couldn't imagine life without having you as my sister! Love you Em! PS Emily provided me with my first niece... so thank you for that <3
Jessa Brestin
Bridesmaid
Jessa, also my older sister, has been my go-to person for advice or tech support. Two very different categories but she is always willing and ready to try and find the answer. I have many memories with Jessa playing Pokemon Go, to playing webkinz, to late night McDonalds runs. She is always ready to be there when I need it! Love you Jess!
Teaghan Brestin
Bridesmaid
Tiki! My sister that made me no longer the baby of the family. She is 9 years younger than me and probably the most like me out of all my siblings. She has taken interest in music and sports just like I did, as well as followed in my footsteps with being the most dramatic teenager, really giving mom and dad a run for their money. She has been so fun to watch grow up! I love you Tik! Thanks for always being unapologetically yourself.
Octavia Brestin
Bridesmaid
Tavie is my youngest sister (11 whole years younger) and she has been the best baby sis I could think of. I remember running home from school when I was only in like 6th grade and scooping her up as a newborn to get all my baby snuggles in. It has been so fun to watch her grow up and go through the phases of life with Tiki. I love you Tav, couldn't imagine my wedding day with out you!
Jovie Brestin
Flower Girl
Jovie Elle, my (Ana's) first and only niece. She truly has been my pride and joy (I don't even know if I cant say that since I'm not her mom but I don't care). I got the privilege of being Jovie's full time nanny in the Caribbean when she was only 3 weeks old for 3 months and throughout the last 4 years I have attempted to see her as often as I can. I am thankful for the sweetest niece out there and I can't wait to watch her be the cutest flower girl for our wedding.
Cambria Gallagher
Flower Girl
Cambria is my (Cole's) youngest cousin. She is a bright bundle of joy! I got to know her well as I lived with her and her family on Maui in the summer of 2018. She loves to be expressive and enjoys laughing a lot. She is going to be the perfect flower girl for Ana and I at our wedding.
