Maid of Honor
Not just my twin sister, but also my best friend. Gillian and I do everything together, we know each other better than anyone else, and she's been so helpful throughout the wedding planning process. I'm so lucky to have such an amazing sister and lifelong friend.
Best Man
Dallas Cothren and I met at my current duty station, MCAS Miramar in San Diego, CA. He had just been transferred from Iwakuni, Japan, and became my roommate in the barracks. Dallas and I instantly became friends. He's one of the most determined, strong, and dedicated marines I've ever met. We've been through good and bad times together and always tried to pick up and push each other to keep going, no matter how hard things got. I've never been more proud to call someone my brother in arms.
Bridesmaid
Lindsey is my (and Gillian's) childhood best friend and practically-adopted-triplet. We grew up together in Jackson, NJ, and spent the majority of elementary school hoping to be placed in the same class. From birthday parties and sleepovers, to trips to Point Pleasant Boardwalk, we have so many memories together and despite moving to the other side of the state, we are always close in heart.
Groomsman
Todd Perentin: a man I could never describe in words; only stories. We met during our freshman year in high school and we've been through it all. He's been by side through some of my best (and worst) memories of high school. I'm proud of him for being not only one of the smartest people I know, but also for enlisting in the United States Air Force, and I'm proud to call him a friend.
Bridesmaid
Kayla and I instantly clicked when I moved to West Milford, NJ, back in elementary school. From hanging out on the swing sets at Paradise Knoll Elementary to joining the high school marching band together, Kayla and her amazing family have always been there for Gillian and I. With her support through the years despite all the changes in our lives, I have a constant reminder of how lucky I am to have such an amazing friend.
Groomsman
I’ve known Eddie from practically the start. He's been there with me for almost as long as I can remember. We’ve seen it all together and there wasn't a moment I regret, no matter how bad or awesome it was. I'm glad to call him one of my best friends and even more glad that he's one of my groomsmen!
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I became close in high school when we joined the West Milford Indoor Percussion group together. We spent late nights after competitions laughing together at the diner, and gossiping in practice rooms instead of rehearsing our band midterms. Rachel's infectious smile, her outgoing personality, and her positive attitude challenged me to be more outgoing too. We both have busy schedules now, but when we do get to see each other it's as if no time has gone by at all.
Groomsman
I met Kyle my freshman year of high school and we instantly clicked and he's since become a good friend of Danielle's too. I've never met a crazier, funnier, and more caring person. He's been there for Danielle and I for every step of our engagement and he's been there for me since we met. I'm so thankful to call him one of my best friends.
Bridesmaid
Nicole is my almost-sister. When I transferred schools in eleventh grade, Nicole was my first friend in the new school and she helped me to feel more comfortable where I didn't know anyone else. We've been through a lot of changes in our lives together, and made so many memories too. Whether we were on the stage together in the Wallkill Regional High School musicals, co-leading the soprano section of the choir, or parked in front of her house talking for hours, Nicole never ceased to put a smile on my face.
Groomsman
Don and I met in Wallkill Valley Regional High School my freshman year and found we both shared an interest in the military and military history. Don became one of my closest friends. Then and now, we've always had each other's backs and we always will.
