Catherine & Jordan
Wedding Party
Trisha Beausaert
Maid of Honor
Catherine and Trisha met while studying English Language and Literature at Western University in 2010. It was an early morning in Modern Drama class and by fate, they were assigned to the same study group. Catherine and Trisha have shared endless laughs and flutes of prosecco while navigating life together. It's no secret that Trisha would be asked to be Maid of Honor but the honor is truly Catherine's to have a friend like Trisha.
Lisa Lawlis
Bridesmaid
Catherine and Lisa met in grade nine at Central Secondary School. After many Starbucks dates, chai lattes (with extra foam!), and trips to Talize over the years, Lisa has always been a ray of sunshine. Lisa is Catherine's most punctual friend and they share a love of everything British!
Emily Smibert
Bridesmaid
Catherine and Emily met playing soccer in 2007 (gold medal winners!). After goofing off on the defence line, Emily moved for university but they were reunited in English class after Emily transferred to Western University! It was a welcome surprise to see a familiar face sitting beside an empty chair that Catherine gladly filled. They shared many late night essay writing sessions and cheese scones at Weldon Library and while they live in separate cities since graduating, they can't stop reuniting for a buffalo chicken wrap at The Wave!
Dana Heffler
Bridesmaid
Catherine and Dana met through Trisha on one of many girls nights and their mutual love of all things chic made for a lasting friendship. Dana has been a supportive and joyful presence in Catherine's life since that night! They always share style tips and good eats (Dana makes the best fruit salsa!) while chatting about anything and everything.
Matt Van Wiechen
Best Man
Matt was introduced to Jordan on March 28th 1990, he is Jordan's oldest brother and oldest friend. Growing up Matt was a great big brother, allowing Jordan to always tag along where ever he went. Matt was a patient big brother and didn't complain too often having Jordan around. Matt would even let Jordan play video games with him, he would pass Jordan the unplugged second controller and give Jordan words of encouragement on how to improve. Matt and Jordan share a mutual love for video games, board games and fantasy books and movies.
Blaine Schalk
Groomsman
Blaine and Jordan met in 1994 in Kindergarten at St. George Elementary. Although for many years the two were in different classes, they didn't let that stop them from being great friends. In Grade 8, the boys were reunited and have been by each other's side through high school at St. Thomas Aquinas and Univertisty at Kings College. Jordan and Blaine both share a love of history, music, and teaching.
Cody McDonald
Groomsman
Cody and Jordan met in 1998 at St. George Elementary. Cody and Jordan grew up together spending many sleep overs at each others houses in elementary school. They could often be found swimming in Cody's parents pool, or playing Nintendo 64 in Jordan's parents basement. They continued their friendship in high school and have remained close ever since. Cody and Jordan share a love of Nintendo 64 games, board games and competing in the annual Outdoorsmen Competition.
Erik VanMeerbergen
Groomsman
Jordan and Erik met one another playing Elementary school sports against one another. They were first rivals on the basketball court, forced to play guard against one another. In 2004, when it came time for high school, Jordan and Erik were quickly draw to one another through their similar outgoing personalities. Erik and Jordan now enjoy going for long walks together through the downtown London core, singing songs around a campfire, and going out for brunch.
