Dee & Josh
Wedding Party
Elly Nadorp
Mother of the Groom
Master gardener, bicycle babe, and where Josh got his love for Trance music through his dutch roots. You can thank Elly for many of the floral arrangements you will see on wedding day!
Jackie DeRoo
Mother of the Bride
Activist, professional pie baker and crafts queen. Dee has Jackie to thank for her meticulous organizing skills and admiration of the ocean. Jackie and her two sisters, Heather and Chip, were legendary craft ladies at Red Pine and have an excellent craft planned for our guests as part Saturday's pre-wedding activities.
Mark Palmer
Father of the Groom
Grade 11 MVP of Glebe Collegiate's basketball team, world traveler, and where Josh got his good looks. Catch Mark on the dance floor of the wedding rocking his air guitar moves.
Eoin Finn
Father of the Bride
Eco-warrior, spelunker and political rabble-rouser. If you ever wondered where Dee got her science nerd and Irish wit from, look no further. Like every good Irishman, Eoin loves the occasional Irish whiskey (or two) and will NEVER let you beat him in a round of golf.
Jason Harvey
Co-Best Man
Grand historian, adventurer, and woodworker. Jason and Josh started out as childhood neighbours, and quickly became best pals throughout high school and university.
Hilary Hayes
CO-MAID OF HONOUR
Professional sandwich maker, numbers nerd and newfie. Attached at the hip for most of their 20's, over the years Dee and Hil shared apartments, employers and more bottles of wine than either cares to count!
Kevin Willson
Co-Best Man
Skipper, El Capitan, and all things boats and blondes. Kevin and Josh have been best buds since high school, were house mates in Toronto after university, and have traveled the world together!
Maureen Finn
CO-MAID OF HONOUR
Dee's big sis, popcorn connoisseur and fellow marine biologist. While Maureen and Dee spent most of their adult lives on opposite sides of the planet, their shared love for the ocean eventually led them back to not only the same coast but also the same employer!
Nicolas Dominguez
Groomsman
Mr. Vogue, Ecuadorian turned Brit, and football fanatic. Nic and Josh became great friends in Toronto and have continued to stay close friends throughout the years.
Nikki Naumann
Bridesmaid
Master chef, outdoor enthusiast and Dee's bestest BC bud. Nikki and Dee met in grade six and later moved to Ontario together to attend university in Guelph. When they're not hiking, running or rock climbing together, they can be found out on the town hitting up the city's best happy hours.
Yoni G-B
Groomsman
Lawyer, life-long Yankee, and craft beer afficionado. Yoni and Josh's Dads have been best friends since their teenage years in Israel, and this lifelong friendship and bond has been cultivated by their sons as well!
Sarah Miller
Bridesmaid
Music festival goer, pizza lover, and travel bug. When Sarah's not circumnavigating the globe, she can often be found at the beach sipping on a glass of red with her partner-in-crime (also named Josh) and her favourite canine, Ralph.
Jeff Detz
Groomsman
Financier, Toronto FC mega-fan, and lavender lover. Jeff and Josh became close friends while attending the Richard Ivey School of Business at Western University. Too many good times and stories to count...
Julia Smee
Bridesmaid
Crocs enthusiast, fitness star and Backstreet Boys super-fan. Julia and Dee became fast friends in their first year of university as next-door neighbours in Lambton Hall.
Justin Finn
Groomsman
Mountain man, skiier, and brother of the bride. Justin and Josh have bonded over their shared love of shredding the GNAR, motorcycles, and adrenaline junkie activities.
Shane Oosterhoff
Bridesman
Photographer, fellow Red Piner and BC expat, Dee and Shane met in their early teens at Red Pine and have been besties ever since. Awesome side note: Shane and his beau, Conor, are also tying the knot at Red Pine in 2021!
Victor Makovik
Groomsman
Cyclist, hip hop enthusiast, and all things technology. Victor and Josh met at IBM, and quickly became great pals and career-driven management consultants!
Meredith Hooper
Bridesmaid
An expert at almost everything, book worm and baker. Without Meredith or "Momma Mer" as her friends like to call her, Dee (and several other members of the bridal party ) probably wouldn't have survived their twenties.
Terry Wright
Groomsman
Lawyer, jazz musician, and newlywed. Terry and Josh became friends in high school, terrorizing local bars, pool halls, and ski resorts, and have remained close ever since.
Alex Sandler
Bridesmaid
Real estate tycoon, Aritzia fashionista and lemon water enthusiast. Alex and Dee met as bartending buddies in their early 20's at Polson Pier in Toronto. When she's not selling houses, Alex can often be found dancing on tables and busting out every...single...lyric to "Shoop".
Reina Palmer
Bridesmaid
Fitness enthusiast, philanthropist, and sister of the groom. Reina loves long walks (no seriously, she does!) and takes after her mother as a social worker in-training.
