Wedding Party

Zoe Ann Drolet

Flower Girl

I've known Zoe since her birth, she is one of my best friends and I can't wait for her to be our beautiful flower girl.

Gabriel David Robbins

Ring Bearer

We are so blessed to have our ring bearer be the most incredible little boy, Gabriel. Back in 2015 I was beyond excited to be selected as the Nanny for Gabriel and I was so lucky to have him in my life from 2 days to 3 years old. I love this little boy more than I have loved any child and I still consider him partially mine, in my heart. Avery and I are so thankful to have him so many years later, willing to be our ring bearer. Thank you Gabriel. We love you and are so excited that you are coming all the way from California to come celebrate with us.

Eva Marie Drolet

Junior Bridesmaid

Our Junior Bridesmaid, I've also known Eva since birth, and she is also one of my besties. Avery and I are so excited to have her be a part of our big day! Eva also happens to be one of my favorite golf girls, she always makes me look good on those greens.

Penelopi Drolet

Bridesmaid

Penny, mom of Eva and Zoe, has been one of my very good friends since the very beginning. Our families love spending time together and we love living right across the street from one another. Penny has been there for me through all the good and bad days, that is why I wouldn't be able to have our special day without her being a part of it.

Lydia Lauren Jenaras

Maid of Honor

Lydia is one of the most incredibly joyous, generous, and fun loving people I know, and I'm so blessed to call her my sister. She makes anything and everything super fun and can turn the simplest things into the most special moments. Lydia has been my sister since I moved here from Germany when I was 7 years old and I have loved and looked up to her ever since. In the challenging times she has always been there to cheer me up and during this season she has been so supportive. Lydia lives in Chicago which is a little far for me, but I'm excited for her to be home for this wedding season and even more excited to have her by my side through all the hard and fun times ahead. Thanks for saying yes to being my maid of honor on this special day and for being the best sister in the world!

Kendall Verbeek Lynch

Matron of Honor

Kendall and I met out on the soccer field when we were just 10 years old and we were instantly friends. I knew as soon as I saw her kicking butt out on the field that I wanted her to be my friend. Little did I know she would become my best friend for a lifetime. We've been through surgeries, victories, puppy chow, and all the ups and downs of life together and I am so thankful that God brought us together at such a young age so we could create so many beautiful memories together. One of the many reasons I'm very excited to be moving to Ann Arbor with Avery after our wedding is that Kendall will be an 8 minute drive from our apartment! I can't wait for the many shenanigans that will occur over the next few years together!

Janelle Bardallis

Bridesmaid

Janelle is Avery's younger sister and since the beginning of our relationship, she has been such a sweet and kind friend to me, I already feel like we are sisters too. She and her husband Trevor are two of the most genuine, generous, fun, and adventurous people we know and love. We can't wait to travel together, hopefully soon, all over the world! Janelle and Trevor invited Avery and I out to their place in New York this past year for my birthday and we had such a wonderful time together. We were able to visit Newport and enjoy one another's company as well as oysters, Grand Marnier, and the gorgeous cliff walk. They took us out in NYC for an unforgettable birthday dinner and evening. I'm so excited to have Janelle as a part of my family.

Christy Burke

Bridesmaid

Christy is a friend that I chose at a very young age. When I was in middle school, my mom was helping me find a small group leader and Christy just happened to be in this huge auditorium where my mom told me I could choose ANY woman to be my leader. As soon as I saw her I knew that she was the one. Little did I know that she would go on to mentor me throughout my entire childhood, teen years, and even now, she and her husband Brian have agreed to be Avery and my marriage mentors. We are beyond blessed to have them meet with us every so often to give us advice and talk through our future lives together. Christy has truly helped shape me into the woman I am today and I am so thankful that our friendship continues to grow. You are such a blessing to me, my dear friend!

Kelly Smith Komosinski

Bridesmaid

Sweet Kelly came into our lives several years ago and with her she brought the cutest little Mia, her miniature dachshund. Mia and Kelly were the ones that confirmed in my mind that I/ we all needed little Finnigan in our lives. Thank you Kelly & Mia! Our friendship has continued to grow throughout the years and I am very thankful to call her one of my nearest and dearest friends. She's the one Finn and I can always count on to give us the best doggo advice and she will always take time to just sit and talk about life, and this always includes one of her signature Lattes. Thank you Kelly for being a part of all the celebrations and this incredibly special day, it wouldn't be complete without you by my side.

Olivia Gardner

Bridesmaid

Olivia is another friend who has been a truly amazing friend since a very early age. We went to elementary and middle school together and we hit it off right away. Her loyalty and love of God and others have always been an inspiration to me. We have been blessed to call one another friends for a long time and we have endured the ups and downs together. We went to homecoming together, played volleyball, ran cross-country, took foreign languages, went to small group and church together, trained for a half marathon together, and have celebrated many life events with one another. I'm so thankful that you're able to celebrate this new chapter of starting my life with Avery. Thank you for always being supportive of my dreams and challenging me to be the best I can be. Love you Liv!

Mark Drolet

Groomsman

Mark has been like a father to me since we moved to Lake Angelus over 20 years ago. It all began with his two Labradors, Roxy and Sam, that he let me take care of while he was at work. Ever since then our families have really become one unit living across the street from each other. I couldn't imagine my life without the Drolet family in it. I'm beyond blessed to have such amazing "Neighbors and friends."
