Ashley & Trey
Wedding Party
Will Gray
Best Man
Trey has known Will since 2008 when he started working at Golf Channel. He briefly remembers their first conversation centering around the Euro 2008 soccer tournament. From there, Will introduced Trey to partying at The Landing in Jacksonville before and after Florida/Georgia games and was his partner in crime at Golf Channel's off-site meetings (street meat!). He's known to be the smartest man in the room and truly is. Trey is honored to have his former kickball teammate, Will, as one of his best men for his special day.
Lindsay Belden
Maid of Honor
Ashley always looked up to her big sister and wanted to be just like her. While they are very different, they have the same voice, same mannerism and they are an unstoppable team in boardgames. Their voices are so simliar, they used to swap the phone from one person to another to trick their boyfriends. When Lindsay moved to NYC she encouraged Ashley to join her and further her education there. Ashley & Trey's life in NYC now is due, in part, to Lindsay's encouragement.
Horacio Ruiz
Best Man
Horacio was supposed to be Trey’s first roommate when he moved to Orlando in 2006. While that didn't happen, he instead became one of Trey's best friends. Horacio has always been up for anything and introduced Trey to Florida Gator football. Together, they witnessed the rise of Tim Tebow with his famous first jump pass and stormed the streets of Gainesville together when the Gators won the College Football National Championship against the hated Ohio State Buckeyes in January 2007. Now that they are back together in New York, Trey is very excited to have Horacio as his co-best man.
Hanna Lee
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Hanna met in college at SVA as two members of a very small Interior Design program. She and Hanna spent countless nights in working in the design studio and countless more dancing the night away in NYC's hot spots. Hanna was also Ashley's first partner in costume, gong as flappers one year and birds another. Ashley convinced Hanna that hugging is a thing that normal people do and Hanna introduced her to Korean karaoke (still a favorite activity).
Dave McIntosh
Groomsman
Trey and Dave became friends on their first day at Hartwick College 19 years ago and were roommates sophomore and junior year. The two share a love of sports, Allen Iverson, and frequently using “the voice” to tell stories. Although Trey doesn’t see Dave as much as he would like, he still considers him one of his closest friends and wanted to keep the promise he made in college to include him in this day.
Desiree Woehrle
Bridesmaid
Desiree and Ashley first met in their freshman year at SVA. Desiree left SVA to pursue a different path in social work but they rekindled their friendship a few years later and they are now very close friends. Since Trey and Ashley moved to Desiree's neighborhood (Bay Ridge, BK) she started calling them 'mom' and 'dad' as the three of them would enjoy weekend brunches, beach or park days and other activities together.
Mario Alexander
Groomsman
Trey has known Mario since his days as an intern at Disney Sports back in 2007. They were also roommates for six months when they were both extremely poor, frequently eating off of the $1 menu at McDonald’s and drinking copious amounts of Hawaiian Punch. Mario and Trey have many things in common, including a love of basketball and both having torn their Achilles' tendons. Although Trey and Mario are far apart, they text frequently and Trey can’t wait for him to come to NYC for the first time for the wedding.
Amy Flessert
Bridesmaid
Amy and Ashley had neighboring single rooms in the Pioneer Hall dormitory at the University of Minnesota freshman year. They would stay up late in each other's rooms watching movies and TV shows while quoting Family Guy, Anchorman and SNL celebrity jeopardy. When they were in their own rooms they would yell to each other through the thin walls. Sophomore year they got an apartment with Devin, one of the bridesmaid, and they explored Minneapolis, hosted house parties and attended campus events together. After Amy moved to the DC metro area they were able to reconnect and now visit each other as often as they can.
Brandon Yourchisin
Groomsman
Trey and Brandon were both born on December 1, 1980, and have similar personalities, though one of them is slightly wilder than the other. They have crazy stories... lots of them... from being stranded in the parking lot of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, to many crazy nights of partying in Orlando, Brandon has been Trey’s partner in crime through it all. It’s an honor to have Brandon a part of this special day.
Airene Resurreccion
Bridesmaid
When Ashley's Bed-Stuy apartment had an open room, her landlord went on a mission to find the right person to fill it (not just any girl) and thankfully, the man they called 'Papa Ray' found Airene. She also went to SVA, something they had in common, and they became fast friends. Airene introduced Ashley to 90's hip-hop classics, a love for which she shares with Trey.
Jordan GIlman
Groomsman
Ashley's brother, Jordan, and Trey first met on the streets on NYC by accident when Jordan was in town visiting. He and Trey quickly became friends, bonding over their love of sports. Ashley jokes that Trey knows more about Jordan's life than she does as he and Trey frequently text each other. Since Trey is an only child he is very excited to have somebody he can call a brother in real life.
Devin Dietrich
Bridesmaid
Ashley met Devin through Amy, another of the bridesmaids. She was also in a single dorm room which was way down the winding hallways of their dormitory. Thankfully she found Amy and Ashley and became fast friends with a few other girls in the dorm. Devin shared a room with Ashley in their apartment sophomore year where the enjoyed late night veronica mars and scrubs marathons followed by daytime joint nap sessions. They were constantly quoting their favorite movies and TV shows which they still do today.
