Gabrielle & Derek
Wedding Party
Ashley
Matron of Honor
Ashley and I became friends in 10th grade and continued that friendship in college where we became roommates. We have had many fun adventures and I am so happy she will also be a part of my new adventure!
Chad
Best Man
Chad and I met when I was put in charge of him in the Marine Corps. As friends go, I haven't found someone who is more reliable, easy going, or more willing to jump in and help whenever he can.
Sara
Maid of Honor
Sara and I met in Kindergarten at St. Peter's and have been friends ever since! I couldn't imagine not having her next to me on my big day!
Lauren
Bridesmaid
Lauren is my younger sister, and although she escaped the role of Maid of Honor, she couldn't run too far! She has been a constant support to me in my life and the best sister I could ever ask for!
John
Groomsman
John and I served in the Marines together. When I need to talk hockey, vent about people who lack common sense, talk politics, or just enjoy a good whiskey John has been the guy down the hall who I could go to.
Nicole
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I have been friends since 9th Grade when she decided that the quiet new girl next to her in English needed a friend. She soon learned that I was not that quiet after all!
Tom
Groomsman
Tom and I served in the Marines together but became closer friends after I left the Corps. He's been a constantly upbeat individual who has a positive outlook on any situation.
Emily
Bridesmaid
Emily and I met in college and became friends. She has always had my back and I am glad she will continue to through this next part of my life.
Andrew
Groomsman
As the only non-Marine Andrew quickly made the list as a groomsman with our many conversations about our mutual love of the outdoors. His ability to have an animated conversation about any topic will be something I’ll enjoy for years to come.
Jenna
Bridesmaid
Jenna and I met in Bluffton through a mutual friend. We became fast friends when we bonded over our love of Disney (and our hate for fireball!).
Edward
Groomsman
Ed and I served in the Marines together and lived down the hall from each other for two years. He's one of the few people that will call me out when I'm in the wrong and one of the even fewer people I've kept in contact with after we've moved back to our respective homes.
