Megan & Steve
Wedding Party
Jamie
Maid of Honor
Jamie and I have known each other since elementary school and we became close friends in middle school. When I moved away right after middle school, we lost touch. However, a handful of years later, we reconnected and have been best friends ever since! We love going camping together on the Delaware River; river tubing and playing charades (we always win by the way), playing pool even though Jamie is MUCH better than me, and having game nights on Zoom due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Jamie recently moved up to Maine to follow her dream of wood furniture making! Even though we are far apart, our friendship is still strong as ever! We have always been there for each other, and I am lucky to have her as my maid of honor!
Lindsey
Bridesmaid
Lindsey and I have been best friends since middle school, but we have known each other since elementary school. We've had many sleepless sleepovers and we often got told to be quiet because we would be up laughing the entire night. When I moved away after middle school, we continued to keep in touch and spend time together. Lindsey was one of few friends who visited me while I was recovering from my thyroid surgery. We are always there for each other, no matter what. Lindsey moved away to California a few years ago, so we don't see each other as much as we used to. But when we do see each other or talk on the phone, it is as if no time has passed and we pick up right where we left off. Lindsey is definitely one of my forever friends!
Kyle
Bridesman
Kyle and I were best friends in high school. We played on the West Milford Drum Line together and hung out almost everyday. After we both graduated high school and we both went to college, we didn't hang out as much. Then years later, Kyle texted me out of the blue to hang out. Ever since that day, we are back right where we used to be! We laugh so hard together that we cry. We love going on sushi and Thai food dates, going shopping and buying silly things for the day, and going off roading. I am so happy that he reached out and we rekindled our amazing friendship.
Karen
Bridesmaid
Karen is my sister in-law. When she started dating my brother, I was so excited and happy because we got along so well (we all know that getting along with a sibling's significant other doesn't always happen). I grew up with all boys, so I am happy that I finally have a sister. Karen truly took on the roll as my "big sister." She has helped me out in so many ways from helping me write my resume when I first started looking for teaching jobs to helping me find my wedding dress! She helped my brother and I grow closer and she is an amazing addition to our family!
Lauren
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Steve's youngest sister and my future sister in-law. We have great conversations and I love that we connect so well. I have seen Lauren grow from a teenager into a young woman and I am so proud of how much she has accomplished over the ten years of knowing her! She has even inspired me to go back for my masters degree in Social Work. I am so excited to gain another sister!
Alexis
Bridesmaid
Alexis is Steve's younger sister and my future in-law. I am excited to welcome another sister into my life! Alexis is a free spirit and I am inspired to be more like her. I am so proud of her for following her dreams by creating artwork, jewelry, and clothing that she shares with the world. She makes me laugh every time we spend time together and I love our conversations about different outlooks on life.
Rick
Best Man
Rick is technically my cousin in-law, but has always been more like a big brother to me. Since I was young, he introduced me to some of my favorite bands, took me to some of my favorite shows, and always included me to be "one of the guys." Even when I was too young to get into a show, Rick would always get me in since he seemed to know every bouncer in North Jersey, lol. He has greatly influenced me from a young age. From music taste, to tattoos, he has always been there for me and guided me. Rick is great cousin and friend, and I am fortunate to have him in my family.
Marko
Groomsman
Marko and I have been best friends since I was 14. We have seen good times and bad, got ourselves into some trouble, but always seemed to come out on top. He has always been a great and loyal friend to me and he will always be there for you when you need him. Mark will drop everything for a friend in need, even when it is inconvenient for him. We always have a good time even when we are just reminiscing in a parking lot drinking coffee. I am proud to call him my friend.
Michael
Groomsman
Mike is Megan's brother, and my future brother in-law. Mike and I always got along from the start. We have similar interests and beliefs, and he made it easy becoming a part of the Dever family. He has always welcomed me with open arms and included me into his friend group. Mike has introduced me to a lot of awesome people and I felt like I fit right in with his friends. Whether it's busting each others chops, or talking about guns in his kitchen over a cold one, we always have a great time! I'm happy to call Mike family.
