Wedding Party
Galit Turay
Maid of Honor
Galit and I first met when we were kids at basketball camp, and from the very beginning we just clicked. What started as a camp friendship quickly turned into a lifelong bond. Over the years we’ve shared so many memories together — from growing up and navigating life’s ups and downs, to countless laughs and unforgettable moments. Galit has always been someone I can count on no matter what. She’s been there through so many chapters of my life, and our friendship has only grown stronger with time. I’m so grateful for all the memories we’ve made together and for the many more still to come. It means the world to me to have her standing by my side as my Maid of Honor. I’m so happy that someone who has been such a big part of my life for so long will be there with me on one of the most important and special days of my life. 💕
Shirley Balmelli
Maid of Honor
I met Shirley in California eight years ago, and from the moment we met we just instantly clicked. We realized very quickly how much we had in common, and our friendship grew so naturally from there. Over the years we’ve shared so many laughs, memories, and meaningful conversations, and she has become such an important part of my life. Shirley is someone I can always turn to for honest advice and support, and we’re constantly there for each other through all of life’s moments. One of my favorite memories together is when we both got our Dogs (Sons) last year, which made our bond even more special.I’m so grateful for our friendship and all the similarities that brought us together. It means so much to me to have her by my side on such an important day, and I’m so happy she will be a part of my wedding and this special chapter of my life. 💕
Christopher Herkey
Best Man
My younger brother is my best man, which means after a lifetime of looking up to me, he finally gets to stand next to me for something important. Growing up we shared everything—sports, laughs, and probably a few arguments along the way. All jokes aside, he’s always been someone I can count on and one of my closest friends. I’m lucky to have him by my side as I marry Ashley, and I wouldn’t want anyone else standing up there with me.
Finley Turay
Ring Bearer
Finley is Galit’s amazing son, and I couldn’t be more excited to have him as part of our wedding as our ring bearer. He is the cutest, silliest little boy who always brings so much joy and laughter wherever he goes. It means so much to me that he will be part of such a special day in our lives. Watching him grow has already been so special, and I can’t wait to continue seeing the incredible person he becomes. I know he is going to grow up to be an amazing young man. Having Finley walk down the aisle with the rings will make the day even more memorable, and I’m so happy he will be such a special part of our wedding. 💍
Paula Kopsick
Mother of the Bride
My mom, Paula, has been my biggest supporter and has done everything for me for my entire life. She has always been there through every moment, giving endless love, guidance, and support. Her generosity and kindness extend not only to me, but also to Brian and even Bentley, my furry son, who she loves and spoils just as much.I am so incredibly grateful for everything she has done for me and for the constant love she gives to the people I care about most. She has shaped me into the person I am today, and I appreciate her more than words can express. I love her so much, and it means the world to have her by my side on such a special day. 💕
Robert Kopsick
Father of the Bride
My dad, Robert, has always been such an important part of my life. He has supported me through every stage and has always been someone I could count on. His love, guidance, and steady support have meant so much to me over the years. He has also welcomed Brian and Bentley, my furry son, with the same warmth and generosity he has always shown me. Family means everything to him, and I’m so grateful for the way he has always been there for all of us. I love and appreciate him more than words can say, and it means so much to have him by my side on such an important and special day. 💙
Adeline Herkey
Flower Girl
Adeline is my niece and our flower girl, and I couldn’t be happier to have her be part of such an important day for Ashley and me. She’s the daughter of Chris and Amanda, and from the moment she came into our lives she’s brought so much joy to our family. Being her uncle is something I’m really proud of, and I feel lucky to watch her grow up. She’s full of personality, smiles, and energy, and I know she’s going to steal the show walking down the aisle. It means a lot to have her standing with us on our wedding day, and I can’t wait to watch her continue to grow into the amazing person she’s already becoming.🤍🤍
