Wedding Party
Anastasia Boutziouvis
Maid of Honor
Stasia, my big sister, my first and built-in best friend, and now my Maid of Honour. Growing up with you has been the greatest gift. I’ve basically spent my entire life in awe of you, your beauty, your brains, your everything. I guess that's why mom always dressed us the same lol! From Barbies in the basement and sneaky closet raids to Europe travels and sleepovers to wedding planning, every phase with you has been my favourite. And now, getting to have you by my side on one of the most important days of my life feels so full-circle and so special. I’m beyond lucky to call you not just my sister, but my best friend. And I fully expect our nightly hour-long phone calls to continue forever. Love you
Diamantino Neto
Best Man
I met Neto when I was about eight years old, and from that point on, he basically claimed the role of big brother whether I liked it or not. He taught me how to play sports, how to work out, and how to survive life with his unsolicited (but usually solid) advice. Some of my best childhood memories come from the years we shared a room mainly sleeping on bunk beds and arguing over absolutely nothing. Neto is extremely competitive, which led to intense FIFA matches that often ended in rage quits, accusations of cheating, or full-on wrestling matches.
Karen Farias
Bridesmaid
Karen is one of my beautiful little sisters, and I spent a large part of my childhood taking care of her which basically made me an expert in changing diapers, braiding hair, and painting nails. Safe to say, I was very well-rounded at a young age. She’s grown into a mature, intelligent, and beautiful young woman… who also knows exactly how to take over a dance floor. You’ll definitely spot her either at the bar or dancing the night away (or somehow both at the same time). Taking care of Karen taught me a lot about life, and even though I complained back then, I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything. She’s truly one of a kind.
Nicholas Boutziouvis
Groomsman
My baby brother Nick! You’ve been my little buddy from the moment you were born. Your sense of humour and your impersonations are honestly some of your best qualities, along with how much you love your older sister, and care for everyone around you. Growing up alongside you has been one of the best parts of my life and I will cherish our bedroom basketball talks and singing Migos on our way to school, forever. You have always been there for me, no matter what, and I am honoured to have you by my side on one of the most important days of my life! Love you always, little Crispy.
Sabrina Roque
Bridesmaid
Sabrina is my youngest sibling and easily one of the most thoughtful and caring people I know. She has a talent for creating meaningful, sentimental moments and for giving gifts that somehow hit you right in the emotions every time. She can be a bit of a tough cookie to crack, but once you’re in, you’re in for life. Sabrina has the kind of confidence and attitude I wish I had at her age, and there’s no doubt she’ll succeed in anything she sets her mind to. You’ll most likely find her hanging out with the cousins, occasionally hitting the dance floor to show off some TikTok moves, and finding new, creative ways to remind me that I’m getting old.
Stefano Vieira
Groomsman
Stefano, the older brother I’ve been so lucky to have for the past 15 years. You’ve truly become one of my favourite people in the world. Thank you (and Stasia!) for always being there to listen, for always having your house open to me whenever I want, and for giving us the best title of all—Theia Bri and Tio Angel to Luca. And of course, you’re welcome for always saying yes to your crazy construction adventures. We’re so lucky to have you in our lives and so honoured to have you by our side on our special day, Steffy.
Annalycia Boutziouvis
Bridesmaid
My baby cousin! Annalycia, I remember being SO excited when your mom and dad told us they were having twins, I couldn’t believe I was getting two real-life dolls to play with! From the moment you were born, I felt so lucky to have a cousin like you, who reminds me so much of myself (in many ways LOL!). From babysitting you and your brother with Yaiyai and Papou in the summers, Pizza Pizza lunches and Tim Hortons doughnuts, to now having you stand by my side, it means the world to me. Love you!
Nicholas Boutziouvis
Groomsman
My baby (twin!) cousin! From the moment I found out about you and Annalycia, I was beyond excited, I still remember meeting you at the hospital and thinking I had my very own little play thing x 2. Growing up together gave us some of my favorite memories: basement sleepovers at our house, late-night McDonald’s runs, endless Monopoly and game tournaments, and of course, “Put that cookie down, now!” It means so much to have you by my side on such a special day. Love you always, little cousin!
Alexa Hegazi
Bridesmaid
Alexa is one of my oldest friends, and someone who has been there through so many different chapters of my life. From becoming my very first friend at a new high school to taking me out to my first bar in Ottawa (Cabin LOL), to humbling spin class choreography (how are you so good?!), we’ve shared so many fun “firsts” and memories that I’ll always hold onto. Even when life took us in completely different directions, Australia to Alabama and everywhere in between, our paths took us to different places in the world, but we always find our way back to brunch and catch up like no time has passed. No matter how long it’s been, everything always feels the same. Thank you for being there through every chapter of my life, I can’t wait to start this next one with you by my side. Love you!
Lautaro Farias
Groomsman
Lautaro is my cousin and one of my very first best friends. When I first came to Canada, he was the one I stuck to and he was always the cousin I couldn’t wait to see again on trips back to Argentina. Lautaro may look intimidating at first, but that just makes it funnier when you realize he’s actually one of the kindest and softest people I know. He’s protective, loyal, and always makes sure everyone is having a great time. He’s usually the life of the party and if there’s a spotlight, you can guarantee he’s already standing in it.
Katt Golsan
Bridesmaid
Katt was the very first friend I made in Alabama, and from that moment on, we were basically inseparable. From long days on the field to dorm room sleepovers, university parties, and unforgettable road trips across the States, some of my absolute favourite memories were made during those years with you right by my side. You made a new place feel like home, and I’ll always be so grateful for that. I feel so lucky to have been there with you in St. Lucia when you married the love of your life, it was such a special, and full circle moment. Now, getting to have you by my side on my big day means the world. Life has taken us on so many adventures, and I know there are still so many more to come. Love her forever!
O'Neil Barton
Groomsman
O'Niel and I played football together in university, and from the moment I met him (IYKYK), I knew he would fit perfectly into my life. Over the years, O'Niel and his family became my home away from home, and I’ll always be grateful for the love (and food) from him and his mom, Linda. O'Niel has a heart of gold and would do anything for the people he loves. You’ll probably find him at the bar, but approach with caution, because there’s a very high chance he’ll try to pull you into one of his legendary “O'Niel deals.”
Nathalie Campeau
Bridesmaid
Nat is one of my oldest friends from high school, and it still feels like nothing has changed. From getting our makeup done at MAC for NYE 2011 to now getting ready side by side on my wedding day, it honestly feels like no time has passed at all. We’ve grown up together, but somehow everything still feels just as easy, fun, and familiar as it always has. Every friend group needs a Nat, the one who keeps things fun, isn’t afraid to make fun of you (because you deserve it), and will randomly start singing (very loudly). She’s also the kind of friend you can always count on for a quick call or check-in, and somehow always makes you feel a little more okay just by being there. I truly wouldn’t have it any other way. Honourable mention for being Crafted by Bri's #1 customer. Love you always!
Max Robichaud
Groomsman
I met Max when I first started working at Lululemon in New Brunswick, at a time when I felt completely out of place. Max, however, made sure I survived. Even though he’s not into sports, we bonded over our shared talent for having a good time anywhere, anytime. Max is the kind of friend who shows up, no matter what. During my first Ironman, he literally slept in a tent in a random parking lot just so he could be there to support me the next day. And even now, as a full-blown celebrity, he somehow still makes time for us regular people.
Nick Nikka
Groomsman
Nick is my oldest friend we met in grade 7, and despite going to different high schools, we’ve stayed close ever since. I usually describe Nick as my fast-talking friend who can get us into, or out of, almost any situation. He has a silver tongue that has magically helped us skip lines, avoid trouble, and occasionally cause it. Nick is also incredibly kind, hardworking, and the type of friend who shows up when it really matters. I’ll always be grateful for the Christmas hospital visits while I was recovering.
Luca Vieira
Ring Bearer
Luca has given us the best title we could have ever asked for, Theia and Tio. You have been the greatest gift, and watching you grow up with your mommy and daddy has been so much fun. Theia can’t wait for many more Disney trips together and Tio LOVES how much you love soccer balls! We can’t wait to tell you one day that you were a big motivator for Tio Angel to finish his Ironman race. We love you so much, Luca Bear.
Benjamin Neto
Ring Bearer
Benjamin is the son of the best man, and much like his dad, it’s rare to see him without a smile on his face. Within just a few minutes of meeting him, you can already get a sense of the kind of personality he’ll grow into. He’s a joyful little boy who loves to dance and keep everyone entertained. He’s happiest with a ball at his feet, proudly wearing matching Corinthians jerseys with his dad as they cheer on their team together.
