Wedding Party
Johnny Elliott
Best Man
☕️Coffee Order: Iced Americano — with a pastry on the weekends 🍾Favorite Way to Spend a Saturday: Sleeping in and getting ready for the day whenever I feel like it. Not rushing at all and having some calm quiet time. Then, doing whatever I feel like doing at that moment. 📸Core Memory with Joey: Our phone and video calls that we have all the time. Growing up and playing video games together. Even now, every few years, being able to play them together again and experience something we enjoyed as children. Living together for a few months and being a part of each other’s grown up lives. “Don’t look 👀🚶🏻♂️” Also, him knowing that I always needed some “Don’t talk to me time” after working at the gym. Sleepovers with Great Nonna and always stressing her out and having her yell at us to sleep and not touch things in the house. Going on vacation together to Spain and Portugal. Being able to see a part of Europe together as brothers and running into each other’s friends a long the way. Going on vacation to Toronto to see a ballet and getting confused and going to the wrong location. Then, having him say don’t give up and figure out the solution to the problem and being able to make it in time. 🤵🏻♂️👰🏻Most Excited About for the Wedding: I’m excited to have some time with all of the family members that I have not been able to see for a long time. I am also excited to witness — and be a part of — one of the happiest moments of of my brother’s life.
