Wedding Party

Elizabeth Victoria Arbuiso

Bride

Joshua David Britton

Groom

The man, the myth, the main man of the night

Rahel Kiflezgi

Koumbara

Church BFF- We bonded over being Sunday School teachers together. Rahel was the "mean" teacher (I was a giant pushover) and I loved every second of it. She is also the type of friend that asks if she can come over for dinner and is already in the driveway before I can text "yes." Asking Rahel to be our Koumbara was a no-brainer. She loves others fiercely, but can still bring the sass when she needs to stick up for a friend. Also, in true Greek tradition, our Koumbara will be the godmother and baptize our first child! I love this girl and I can't imagine this day without her!

Zane Britton

Best Man

Zane "Big B" Britton is my best friend and older brother. As the Big B, he taught me the valuable lesson of being tough and the harsh consequences of being an instigator. Although Zane doesn't have plans to leave Buffalo, I genuinely believes they will again live under the same roof in separate wings of a mega mansion somewhere out West. For now the occasional gaming session will suffice. It is an honor to have Zane stand closest to me since nobody has stood as vigilant by his side longer than Zane. Fun Fact: At a staggering 5'8" at 13 years old doctors told him he would be a 6'5" powerhouse. However, since 2009 Joshua remains the taller and arguably more handsome of the two brothers.

Casey Sheehan

Maid of Honor

Best friends since 6th grade- we've survived our "awkward" years, kissed a lot of frogs before we found our prince charmings, and of course remained best friends despite living on opposite coasts. Casey has shown me the true definition of friendship and has been there through the many highs and the lows. Also, Casey and I share a mutual love for haloumi cheese (or any cheese really), trying any type of new food, and eating more ice cream then any human should. Casey and her man Tyler are getting married December 2020, therefore I look forward to us going through many of the exciting things life has to offer, together.

Geoffrey Ivaska

Groomsman

Geoffrey "It's pronounced Jeff" "Geo" Ivaska is one of Joshua's closest friends in law school. Josh considers Geo a real BFAM, brotha from anotha motha. Josh and Geo respect the finer things in life: wiskey, dressing-up, .

Ellie Spinner

Maid of Honor

[ΦΜ] College roomie and BFF- I knew we were soul sisters because she never judged me for living off lucky charms for two years or the fact that I had a Wiz Khalifa poster on my side of our dorm room (why?). I can't imagine my life without my golden haired diva, plus I would never wrong you because you have way too much blackmail material of all the embarrassing things I've done over the years. Hands down favorite memory together..... Watching Ellie get thrusted on by a "performer" at Thunder down under in Las Vegas. That memory is permanently etched in my head. Our friendship is built upon crawfish and being slaves of society (aka nurses) and I can't wait to grow old and retire in the same neighborhood together- preferably in Oxford, Mississippi.

George Chomakos

Groomsman

George "Hiya Georgie" Chomakos is Joshua's great friend Las Vegas. George was the first friend I made through the Greek Orthodox church.

Lindsey Jenkins White

Bridesmaid

[ΦΜ] Linny- another college BFF. Sorry for all the years of corrupting your sweet southern mind. You never left me alone after I had to teach you what a canoli was. Living in Crosby (our dorm building) was the start of a beautiful and life long friendship. Walking down the aisle at your wedding and watching you and Ben turn into the most Christ-centered and humble married couple, showed me what true love is all about. Also I can't believe I stayed friends with you after you let me eat an entire bowl of shrimp etouffee like it was soup.... but ya know LIOB.

Mark Arbuiso

Groomsman

Mark "Shoulder Work" Arbuiso is Liz's only brother and dear friend of Josh. Mark gets the name "Shoulder Work" from his ability to isolate his shoulder and dance to any beat. I also know Mark as the silent assassin. Mark is often reserved but when he chooses to speak it's killer funny. I've seen Mark mature into an outstanding man with great determination and potential. Unlike most, he hasn't neared peaking yet. I do worry about the stress of med school and hope he doesn't it doesn't make him lose all his hair too early. Because Mark likes to "play doctor" before officially graduating, he will attempt to diagnose any and all medical problems of our wedding guests. Inquire within!

Abby Browder Thames

Bridesmaid

[ΦΜ] Abby is the quintessential Mississippi Queen. She exposed me to the wonders of Mardi Gras and still loves me after I used to bang on her dorm room door at midnight to hang out. I don't think I have a smarter friend than you, Abs. Standing next to you on your big day was one of my biggest blessings, and myself and Josh (especially Josh) will NEVER pass up a time to come party in NOLA with you and Blake.

Logan Brooks

Groomsman

Logan "The Judge" Brooks is a dear law school friend of Joshua. He gets his nickname from popular consensus that Logan is most likely to become a big time judge. I think Logan is a firm 10/10 and all around complete package, being incredibly smart, wickedly funny, and unbelievably athletic. Logan has always been a great source of wisdom and shares a likewise love for good conversation with friends. Logan has always listened to my candid conversations with kind compassion, and has earned my gratitude and unwavering respect. Fun Fact: Logan is a master of puns. He is always ready to crack a joke, even if the joke goes over my head. Start a conversation with him and you will not be disappointed.

Gabriella Gryz

Bridesmaid

[ΦΜ] - Both from places with great pizza (Gabs is from Chicago), Both had funny accents living in Mississippi- bonded over being the only ones in our friend group from ABOVE the Mason-Dixie line. "Gibby" is always the life of the party, down for a martini and has the best sense of style! Gibby is the type of friend that is always down to go out and have fun. I'll never forget going out for your bday sophomore year and you popped your tire, due to you being a reckless driver, on your baby blue volkswagon bug. We still had the best time ever!!! Also, I'm pretty sure Gibs was the first person in America to make White Claws popular (thank you for introducing them to me). P.S. Gibby is getting married October 2020!

John Ross

Groomsman

John "JRoss88" Ross is one of Josh's closest friends from Las Vegas. I admire John's ambition. He is always scheming about the future and setting his goals high.

Ellen Garrett

Bridesmaid

[ΦΜ] Ellen is another college friend that is now stuck with me for life. Not only did she lead the sorority sisters in planning our social lives, she probably also had the most school spirit out of all of us. He beautiful smile and amazing teeth will light up any room and she brings the sass when she has to. I couldn't imagine my college experience without her unwavering friendship, and her moms bomb ass caramel corn.

Jack Mannis

Groomsman

Jack "Jacky Boy!" Mannis is one of my closest law school friends and second best dresser out of the group. Jack is an amazing confident lad. This can make him appear blunt, but it's an underappreciated time saver. He is a self proclaimed music snob, listening to bands like Free-range Pancakes, Polly Purple Pants, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise. Only one of those is real, i won't tell you. Jack would describe his favorite music as a "wall of sound." Regular people call it noise Jack has an deep knowledge of sports and never shy's away from a good argument. However, his passion for the LA Angels clouds his judgment. As such, Alex Bregman was robbed of the American League MVP. His love for sports comes from his competitive nature. Rumor has it he puts up combine numbers in the 40.

Morgan Leigh Dykes

Bridesmaid

[ΦΜ] Morgie Leigh is by far the best person to ever come out of the great state of Alabama. I gravitated toward her because she would laugh at my jokes (and made me actually feel like I was funny), and not to mention she is the literal sweetest person you will ever meet. I secretly hate her because shes so damn skinny and all she eats is queso, but its fine. Her interests include Ole Miss Baseball and wiener dogs. Morgan, your gentle soul is a comfort I will never take for granted and I love our friendship we have kept over all the years!

Evan Lang

Groomsman

Evan "Lang-a-tang" Lang is Joshua's oldest and closest friend. They go WAY back, like to a time when Baha Men were on the radio. Any memory I have from high school involves Evan. We were truly inseparable like two balls in a sack (I meant soccer balls so if you imagined a scrotum, get your mind out of the gutter). If you've ever pondered the answer to "if your friend jumps off a bridge, would you," Evans answer is yes. YES he did. That was my first run in with the court system, an epic origin for my interest in law. Also this is a great time to apologize for any part I had in you breaking your ankle on the 4-wheeler. That sucked. Sorry. Evan is a bubbly man. His energy fills a room. I will guarantee you will not miss him during the wedding weekend.

Raea Eyre

Bridesmaid

Josh's Little sister, Liz's future sister- We bonded over both liking one direction, but more importantly, making cookies and brownies at 2am or a midnight Mcdonalds Mcflurry run. Ray Ray is the youngest in the bridal party but it doesn't mean shes not the coolest (she is). I miss living with her because most of my memories consist of watching Josh make his sister laugh, and I love her beautiful smile! Watching her grow into a strong, independent and beautiful woman has been a amazing blessing, and now I will finally have a little sister!!

Tommy Alldridge

Groomsman

Tom "Tommy Sticks" Alldridge is one of my closest and baldest friends at Law School. He is by far my most responsible, reliable, and assembled friend. Don't be too flattered Tom, the competition wasn't too stiff. For this reason, Tom will be my one call from jail after celebrating the 2032 Buffalo Bills Superbowl win. I love Toms passion for life. He cares about any injustice and is a fierce advocate for change. Unlike us Millenials, he actually gets away from the keyboard and does something about it. It's a mystery where he gets the energy considering his tender age. He might have found the fountain of youth. No...... no way.... but also...... maybe? Tom you are a great leader, and an even greater friend. I just hope sometimes you can relax and let your hair down.

Taylor Webb

Bridesmaid

My sweet sweet God daughter and dear friend. I felt so blessed when you asked me to baptize you, and now we are connected forever. I am so excited to watch you grow in your faith and to have you stand next to me on my special day!

Jeff McNeilly

Groomsman
