Bethany & Rick
Our Wedding Party
Sherri Motts
Matron of Honor
Sherri is the best friend a girl could ask for. Bethany and Sherri met in middle school, they rode to prom together senior year and they even sat next to each other at graduation, but they had no clue that one day they would be each other's best friend for 20 years (and counting)! They've gone through it all together and have been each other's sounding board and shoulder to cry on. Before Sherri met her husband Mike and Bethany met Rick they were always each other's plus one to events, vacation buddies and biggest supporters. Bethany was lucky enough to be Sherri's maid of honor in 2018 and now Bethany is thrilled to have this amazing woman next to her on her big day.
Leo Thomas
Best Man
Leo and Rick have known each other for over 34 years now. Growing up in Lyndhurst together and meeting each other in Boy Scouts they formed a quick friendship and have been hanging out ever since. Even though life has separated them, geographically that is, they continue to make yearly trips to visit one another and they have kept their friendship going with Rick being the Best Man at his wedding to Lynette and, now, Leo being Rick's Best Man for his. One of the best things Leo has ever done for Rick was to be a second son to his mom after Rick moved to Atlanta to pursue his education. Helping her out with things around the house and, most importantly, being a son to Rick's father after he was paralyzed solidified their brotherhood and made them true "brothers from other mothers."
Valerie Feehery
Maid of Honor
Bethany first met Valerie on Labor Day 2005 when 7lbs 5 oz of sweet baby girl arrived in this world. Valerie is Bethany's favorite girl and the best daughter she could have ever hoped to get. Valerie is a fantastic young lady who enjoys art, music and travel. She might just have her family wrapped around her little finger, but she is a delightful and caring girl so the family doesn't mind. Valerie has jumped wholeheartedly into her role as Rick's daughter and she was thrilled to be asked to be part of the wedding party. Bethany cannot imagine getting married without this girl by her side.
Edward Feehery
Bride's Escort and Groomsman
Edward is the oldest child in the Feehery-Davies family and as such, is the natural choice to escort the Bride a.k.a Mom, down the aisle. He has always been Bethany's Best Guy but he is happy to share that title with Rick. Edward is an intelligent, well-spoken and caring young man. He and Rick have spent the last several years bonding over their mutual love of old cars, video games and good food. Edward has shown an ability to rise above incredibly difficult situations and has shown maturity beyond his years. Rick and Bethany are very proud of this young man and are so excited to have him play such an important role in their wedding.
Andrew Merlo
Groomsman
Andrew was Rick's first non-familial "nephew." Andrew is Shiona's first-born son and holds a special place in Rick's heart since before Andrew was born, he had already adopted him as his nephew. Rick even had a dream about Andrew before he was born and told Shiona before she had her ultrasound to determine the babies gender that it would be a boy. Well, he was correct! Now, as a soon-to-be teenager, Rick and Andrew have bonded over Star Wars, video games and just having a good time with each other!
Shiona Elliot
Best Woman
Rick has known Shiona since she was in high school (and he wasn't!) and they became fast friends. They have been friends through thick and thin and he was present at the birth of her son Andrew and has been his "Uncle" throughout his life and, regardless of where life took them, they always managed to keep in touch and keep each other updated on what was going on in their lives. When Rick's father passed, Shiona was one of the first people there, literally (at 3 am in the morning no less,) to offer comfort and assistance. Life has taken them both in many directions but their friendship has remained strong and they have supported each other regardless of the circumstances.
Amy Satterfield
Bridesmaid
Amy is Bethany's baby sister. The youngest of the Satterfield siblings, but still the one who always knows what is needed or what's happening for every member of Bethany's large family. Bethany and Amy were raised in separate households, but still worked to make sure they are part of each others lives. Bethany is so happy that Amy will be standing with her on her wedding day.
Mason Brown
Groomsman
Rick and Mason have known each other for quite a while (I'm sensing a trend in some of these write-ups!) and began hanging out when Tara introduced them. Mason even spent some time living with Rick (a long story and involves someone who shall not be named!) so they really got to know each other quite well. Now, along with his wife Courtney, they still manage to hangout and throw axes at wooden panels as well as play Cards Against Humanity and gross their friends (and Valerie and Eddie) out with some of the answers they come up with.
Tara Hammonds
Bridesmaid
Tara is Rick’s protective little sister. She has strong opinions regarding the women in her brother’s life, so Bethany was thrilled when she received Tara’s stamp of approval. Bethany has said that she feels Tara’s love and approval is the closest she can get to getting those things from Rick’s mother who passed several years before they met, so Tara’s opinion has been very important to Bethany. Tara has become a close friend and one of Bethany’s strongest supporters. Much like her brother, once Tara feels that you are family, she takes care of you. Bethany and Rick are so happy to be able to share this day with someone they both love so much.
Eric Hammonds
Groomsman
Eric is Ricks' Brother-In-Law and is married to his sister Tara. While initially things were a little rocky given Rick's protective nature of his sister (although he was allowed to pick on her, no one else was!) Eric grew on Rick and he now only views him with only a slight modicum of suspicion. :-) Seriously though, Eric has proven to be a great husband to his sister and a great brother-in-law to Rick as well as a great "Fur Dad" to Rick's furry nieces Carly and Layla.
Jeremy Whitehead
Groomsman
Rick and Jeremy have known each other for some time now! They met through their mutual love of riding motorcycles and were both members of a riding club called "The Misfits." Although they are no longer associated with that group they had ridden together quite a bit and bonded over many other things like IT, computers, food and making fun of idiots in both the regular and political realms. While they both work in IT-related fields they both enjoy tinkering with other items like cars and electronics!
Rebekah Shelnutt
Bridesmaid
Rebekah and Bethany first met in 7th grade in Mr. Forsh's chorus class. Over the next several years which consisted of AP classes, ridiculous amounts of extra curricular activities and generally being all-around over-achievers, Bethany and Rebekah parted ways when it was time to head to college. Fast forward several years and Rebekah and Bethany picked their friendship back up, but it was so much stronger than it was in their teen years. Rebekah was one of the first to know about the blossoming relationship between the bride and groom and gave Bethany encouragement to "see where this thing goes." Rebekah has supported Bethany through some hard times, given tough advice and followed through with the strongest support when Bethany needed it most. Bethany is so glad to have Reb at her side.
Tanner Camp
Groomsman
Tanner and Rick met when Rick was in search of a trainer to help him workout. Rick met with Tanner at LA Fitness and they immediately hit it off. Soon, they were hanging out outside of work and got to know each other very well. Besides a shared love of stupid, funny and silly videos and memes they find on the internet, Tanner is an accomplished personal trainer, he is the drummer for a couple bands and he and his wife, Daisy, have 3 boys that are what boys are, a handful!!
Corey Lowe
Bridesmaid
Corey is a big part of why you are invited today. She introduced Rick and Bethany and therefore, she MUST be part of the ceremony. Corey is a hardworking mother, an advocate and a hell of a match maker. If Corey ever asks if you might be interested in meeting someone, just hear her out. She has an eye for these things!
Roxanne DeBord
Bridesmaid
Its always easy to have a good time with Roxanne, but she is also the friend who always checks on you and wants to make sure you're ok. Caring and outgoing at the same time, Roxanne has been a big part of Bethany's life for several years. She keeps everyone connected and keeps pulling Bethany from her shell whenever the introvert side tries to take over. A mother of two, a hardworking woman and a lover of junk food, Bethany and Roxanne have so much in common. Bethany is very excited to have Roxanne as part of this special party,
