Wedding Party
Annie Bete
Maid of Honor
Having been friends since 4th grade, Annie and Olivia have shared many adventures and milestones both big and small; including girl scout camping trips, confirmation, trips to Europe and El Salvador, ice skating, graduating from rival universities, and now each other's weddings.
Josh Michonski
Best Man
Josh and John have been nearly inseparable since the summer before their Freshman year of college. They pushed each other to be better men spiritually, emotionally, and academically, leading to many a philosophical conversation late into the night throughout the 3.5 years they roomed together at UD. These two have taken their friendship through thick and thin, far and wide, so far as India when they volunteered there one summer through UD's ETHOS program. Now, John couldn't ask for anyone better to bear witness to our wedding.
Sophia Murray
Bridesmaid
Sophia, Olivia's older sister, and Olivia have both enjoyed dance throughout their lives, from several performances in the Nutcracker to a shared year of dance team in high school. Now, they share an interest in psychology, both working to pursue careers in the field.
David Brun
Groomsman
Role model, guide, and confidant; David is all this and more to John. While John has gone through most of his life trying to differentiate himself from his older brother's likeness (often considered his 10-year separated twin), he finds himself yearning to be more and more like David every day. His constant joy and laughter light up a room, and his spirit for adventure with his wife, Katherine, is nothing short of inspiration for the life that John & Olivia seek to live. John cannot wait to share this moment with David standing right by his side... just not too close - people might get confused.
Erin Murray
Bridesmaid
Growing up, Olivia and her younger sister Erin, spent a great deal of their time reading. Some of their favorite series included Goosebumps and The Bailey School Kids. Now, while their taste in books remains similar, their music taste differs. Erin has made a playlist entitled "songs Olivia would ban from her wedding" so, don't make any requests to the DJ at her behest.
Kevin Brun
Groomsman
At just two years apart, John's younger brother Kevin and he have experienced much of life together. Growing up, they would play competitive ping pong, backyard kickball, and endless hours of Mario Kart together, laughing and pushing each other to get better along the way. Then in High School, they played Varsity volleyball together, Kevin 'setting' John up for success nearly every play. John has found that he is a better man because of him and cannot imagine his wedding without Kevin: his brother, teammate, and support.
Anna Murray
Bridesmaid
Anna, the youngest Murray sister, and Olivia both share a deep appreciation for desserts of all varieties, with Anna's favorite being classic cheesecake, which Olivia enjoys baking for her on special occasions. They also both enjoy two classic fall/winter treats: chai lattes and sweaters. When Olivia is in town, they'll sometimes make runs to Dunkin together and between the two of them, they probably own enough sweaters to cover North America.
Sam Brun
Groomsman
The last of the Brun brothers, Sam, has become one of the most driven, inspiring young men John knows. Although these two have nearly 7 years separating them, Sam has pushed John to become stronger both physically and mentally, inciting competition and encouraging meaningful conversations over the years. The brothers also share a love for volleyball, spending recent times peppering and playing in sand volleyball tournaments together. John looks forward to many adventures to come with Sam and wouldn’t want it any other way than to have all his brothers standing up with him on the most special day of his life.
