Wedding Party
John Sivanich
Best Man
When it came time to pick my best man, only one real person came to mind. John is my cousin. Not only is he blood relation, but has always been a big part of my life. Being only one month older than me, we were always together. From playing football at grandpa's to tee ball to high school football to hanging out with our girlfriends throughout high school to going to proms, we were always together. John is the only one I could see standing for me as my Best Man, for he has been there with me, for me, for all of these years.
Alyssa Hughes
Maid of Honor
I have known Alyssa for awhile. This girl has always been by my side no matter where life has taken us. When we were young , if i ever had a problem she always knew how to fix it with a song , a smile, a hug, or even just a talk. There is no way I could get through my special day without her standing by my side.
Michael "Mo" Marino
Groomsman
I could not be happier to have my future Brother-in-Law stand with me as I marry his Sister. Mo has become a good friend during these last 4 years. A little brother who has helped watch over and protect his sister until she found me; and for that, I truly thank him. A young man who enjoys life, loves his family and friends with all of his heart. A man who wears his heart on his sleeve, who is not afraid to show his emotions. I will be honored to call him my brother.
Rachel Work
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I got close working together. Our love / hate relationship that we had for our job got us talking more and more which led us to get to know each other more. What i got to know was a loving, kind, and sweet heart and soul who would jump through hoops for me . I am so thankful for our friendship and so grateful that she is standing by my side on my special day.
Douglas Podgers
Groomsman
What else can I say about Big Podge, my oldest brother. But to say, I could not be more proud to have a brother such as him stand with me as I marry the One. Doug has always been the protector, the tough brother, the one who always made me "man up". Because of him, I have learned to be confident, to be strong. He has also taught me to be fun loving. How to not take every day too seriously.
Becca Podgers
Bridesmaid
Becca is one of a kind . She is kind , out going and a great time . From the first time we’ve met she always made me feel comfortable being the “newbie” to the podge group . We clicked the first time we met . I am so thrilled to have her standing by my side on my special day not only as my friend , but as my sister in law .
Ethan Michael
Ring Security
Let Us introduce our 'Ring Security'. Her Son, His Boy.... The Protector. This young Big Boy with a heart of gold, the most caring little boy with a heart Three sizes too large. The only thing larger than his heart is his wonderful smile. A grin from ear to ear that lights up his Mom and Dale's world. A laugh that will make the darkest days brilliant again. With the attitude and confidence of a teenager, the imaginative mind of an explorer, the negotiation skills of a Supreme Court Justice, Ethan will keep you on your toes. Get ready for a Good Time, for he will not allow the party to end.
Ava Shiock
Flower Girl
Ava, the lovely daughter of a co-worker and friend - Amy. We have watched this little beautiful flower grow from a seed in her Mommy's tummy. This funny, delightful girl with eyes that light up the night sky and an attitude to keep us all in line, was an easy choice to have walk down the aisle spreading beauty and love along the way. She may hop like a bunny as she does it, but there will be a wolf ring security guard chasing her along the way.
Dean Podgers
Officiant
I / We are honored to have my Brother officiate our ceremony. When we were looking for someone to officiate our wedding, Dean volunteered to be Ordained. Three days after our conversation, Dean was Ordained. Only a Brother would give of himself for another. Dean has always been there for me when I have needed him. From helping me with homework to practicing basketball. Dean has always given me advice, but has never given me the answer. He has been the one that has made me work to get the solution. The mindful one, the one that has always looked to better himself while making others do the same, the one who looks at his one well being last, to make others better.
