Melissa & Cameron
Wedding Party
Chelsey Lewis
Maid of Honor
Chelsey is my Maid of Honor and my best friend. Although we no longer share the same last name, she is also my big sister! We have shared so many amazing memories and moments together. I can't imagine anyone else standing by my side during such a special and exciting time in my life. Chelsey is also the best Mom to Katie Lewis, who is our adorable flower girl.
Dave Gerl
Best Man
Dave is my Best Man and has been my close friend for over a decade. Be sure to ask him about his Guinness World Record, current hobbies, and hair conditioning regiment. Dave is one of the most loyal people I know and I am honored to have him standing by my side on the wedding day. Keep an ear out for his best man speech, which will no doubt be filled with embarrassing tales from our college days.
Robyn Desautels
Bridesmaid
Robyn and I first met in grade 6 when we became neighbours and have been inseparable ever since. We have now been friends for over 15 years and have experienced so many amazing memories together - and are also both getting married in 2020! From trips to Maui with my family, high school & university parties, and driving around blasting music in my old Sunfire - I can't imagine my life without Robyn in it.
Rhys Royer
Groomsman
Rhys is a great friend, talented musician and athlete - he could be considered a true triple threat. We met in junior high and connected over our competitive attitude towards basketball and volleyball. We have remained best friends to this day - whether it is road trips and weekends spent in Inveremere or a round of golf, I am lucky to have him stand beside me. If Rhys goes missing in Palm Springs, he is likely on the golf course in search of the elusive hole in one.
Amber Ross
Bridesmaid
Amber and I became best friends in high school and I am so grateful for our friendship! She is such a hilarious, fun-spirited & kind person and makes the absolute best travel buddy. No matter where I go with Amber, we are always able to have the best time - even Trader Joe's. Amber and I were living together when Cam and I started dating - so she has truly seen our relationship grow over the last 4 years and has always been so supportive of us both.
John McAllister
Groomsman
I was lucky enough to meet John in junior high where we quickly became best friends and bonded over our December birthdays. 10 years ago, we gathered our friends for a conjoined birthday celebration that has become the infamous "Hurricane of Fun". John and I lived together for 4 years of university in Lethbridge where a lot of great memories were made. Look forward to his signature moves on the dance floor.
Madison Pinder
Bridesmaid
Madi and I met in grade 6 where we quickly became BFFs. We have been lucky enough to experience junior high, high school AND university together. Madi is such a great friend and has always been there for me no matter what. She has an amazing ability to light up a room and keep everyone laughing!
Greg Hallett
Groomsman
Greg and I met in University when he would travel down to Lethbridge from Calgary to visit his wife Kate Hallett. Often stopping in at our house for a quick visit and ending up staying the entire weekend. We quickly became great friends sharing in many laughs and adventures along the way. I was lucky enough to share in Greg’s wedding and can’t imagine this day without him.
MJ Nicholson
Bridesmaid
MJ and I first became friends in high school and despite her moving away for university, we have always stayed super close. We are so lucky to have explored the world together - from the beaches of Thailand to the bars in Nashville - she is always up for an adventure and that is one of the many qualities that makes her such a great friend.
Nick Plantje
Groomsman
Nick and I met in the hallways of junior high, we spent a lot of time in these hallways to say the least. Believe it or not I once was able to pick up Nick by his head before he grew a foot. Long story short, Nick and I have been best friends ever since. Along the way, we have shared many a memory around the golf course, playing darts or sharing a good laugh. There's never a dull moment when Nick is around - he is always full of energy to say the least.
Alanna Hedden
Bridesmaid
Alanna and I met when we both started at Deloitte in the same summer. Only a few months later, we became known around the office as "Melanna" because of how quickly we became best friends. It feels like we have been friends for a lifetime and I am so grateful for our friendship. Even though Alanna now lives across the country, she makes the trip out to Calgary as often as she can to spend time with Cam and I and there is never any shortage of laughs & fun to be had when the 3 of us get together.
Brad Thompson
Groomsman
Brad and I aren’t sure where our story started, but that being said I’m sure glad it did. All things considered it’s like we’ve always been friends, connecting over all things sport, finance, and beer related. If you hear Brad calling anyone a ‘dud’ during the weekend it is used as a term of endearment and take no offense. Brad has nicknamed me “King Dud” so I sure hope this is indeed the case. Brad is a legend at Mississippi State for golf and is a true gentleman.
Brittany Caddel
Bridesmaid
Brittany and I met in elementary school when we joined the same soccer team. We quickly bonded when we traveled to rural parts of Alberta for tournaments and were often referred too as "wallflowers" for our lack of intensity and continuous laughter. Since then, we have always been best friends and have made so many amazing memories together. Brit can make any situation so fun and is the most genuinely kind & happy person you'll meet.
Riley Patterson
Groomsman
Riley and I met through Melissa’s friendship with Robyn and quickly caught the girls off guard when we became best buds. Truly excited to be able to share our big day’s as Robyn and Riley are also engaged! As a group we have created our new Canada Day vacation tradition and look forward to many more in years to come. For Riley cowboy boots are not worn just ‘on occasion’ and in the summer you will likely find him fishing or floating the Elbow River.
