Wedding Party
Nathan Cannon
Best Man
Brian’s older brother and one whom Brian is honored to call his best man. From playing pogo stick olympics to digging massive holes at the beach, Nathan is just a great guy to have by your side. Currently in residency to become an ophthalmologist (eye doctor)!
Erin Ottolini
Matron of Honor
Cara's older sister! Cara couldn't have asked for a better buddy to play Pretty Pretty Princess with. Growing up, they loved spending long hours on the tennis court together and obsessing over the same books. Erin is now mom to a lovely baby girl and works as an elementary literacy specialist (don't challenge her to any word games - for you will surely lose).
Casey Hust
Groomsman
Brian’s brother-in-law (his sister Rachel’s husband). A dear friend and confidant of Brian’s, and most importantly his Spikeball partner. Casey is a busy and loving husband, father of 3 daughters and 1 son, and co-owner of the Hust Roost Farm store!
Charity Behage
Bridesmaid
Cara and Charity became friends when they played on the tennis team together at Roberts Wesleyan College. Both of Cara's overseas experiences (Israel & Norway) were done with Charity right beside her! She is a woman of many talents - a fantastic baker & cook, a creator of stunning art, and the proud caretaker of many chickens. She and her husband, John, own TWThrive - a local wellness and personal training business.
Nick Burdett
Groomsman
Brian’s brother-in-law (his sister Claire’s husband) and close friend. You may find Nick and Brian carrying heavy furniture together- if so, please kindly hold the door. Known for his cool socks, his even better hair, and his two little daughters who both have red hair too!
Alina Diaz
Bridesmaid
A dear friend made during nursing school. Alina's humor made long hours in the library feel much more bearable. She loves family and travel (she took Cara to the Dominican Republic where she grew up!), and Cara can always count on her to try new and exotic restaurants with her. She is now an amazing ICU nurse, and mama to a sweet baby boy.
Josiah Ottolini
Groomsman
Brian's soon to be brother-in-law (husband to Matron of Honor, Erin). He is a dad, engineer, avid runner, board game enthusiast, and builder. And by builder, we mean the real deal! Josiah is currently building his own house from the ground up in his spare time. He likes to call Brian when he has heavy parts to move, and Brian loves helping him out!
Alyson Sundberg
Bridesmaid
Cara's college roommate and now lifelong friend. Alyson is known for her cheery and positive attitude no matter the circumstance, and is a lover of all things outdoors. She has been an Army Nurse for the past 4 years and is now stationed in Washington State with her husband, Nick. Thank her for her service when you see her!
Seth Milligan
Groomsman
Great buds with Brian since baby hood at church and Camp Li-Lo-Li (church summer camp). Seth has led Brian and Jared on backpacking trips in the back woods of the Adirondacks. Happily married to his wife Sara, and currently rocking a pretty cool mustache.
Sarah Hudson
Bridesmaid
Cara's housemate of almost 3 years! They enjoy board game nights together (which often involves drinking homemade bubble tea). Sarah is a veteran Bible quizzer and has a wicked memory - if you ask her where something is in the Bible, she'll probably know! She just graduated with her nursing degree and will no doubt make a wonderful RN.
Jared White
Groomsman
Also great buds with Brian since baby hood at church and Camp. Very talented musician on piano, bass, tuba, and.. beat boxing. Jared is looking forward to getting married very soon as well!
Ashley Mellinger
Bridesmaid
Also Cara's housemate of almost 3 years. Ashley shares Cara's love of pickleball, board games, food, and Jesus. Cara knocks on Ashley's door whenever she sees a spider that needs to be killed, and Ashley happily obliges. She's a businesswoman and master organizer - if you need an event planned, recruit her for help!
