Melissa & DJ
The Party
Jessica Hennigan
Matron of Honor
Jesi and I met in high school during drivers ed class. I felt bad for her after hearing her stories about her driving... We were inseparable after that. We both graduated and attended Salisbury University together and spent 4 years as roomies. Jesi and I are the kind of friends that can tell what the other is thinking or saying just by the look they are giving you. She's my person.
Kyle Hughes
Best Man
Kyle and I met randomly many years ago, after he placed an ad on craigslist for a roommate. This was well before the Lifetime movie A Craigslist Killer, otherwise I might have given that idea a second thought, haha! Who would have thought that a photographer, now wedding venue owner and a mechanic would turn out to be such great friends! He's always been the guy in my corner supporting me and never doubting me, even with my "not so great" decisions.
Jaime Thompson
Maid of Honor
Jaime and I have been besties since we were 3 years old. She knows me better than I know myself. She's been there for it all, awkward stage included. She still uses my parents back door as her private entrance, and occasionally comes up to raid their pantry for the "good snacks". We are opposites of each other, and fight more like sisters than friends. But she's one I know I can count on, she's always there for me. She's the sister I never had
Andrew Timko
Groomsman
"Timko" and I first met when he started working for Bayside. We hit it off right away because we are actually a lot alike. We both like to try new things and try to push our skills to the next level. Timko always has a positive outlook on things and a free spirit, "hippie" mentality. He is always down to help me with whatever project I'm doing at that moment.
Amanda Taylor
Bridesmaid
Amanda and I met unknowingly the year before we left for Salisbury, but didn't become friends until freshman year. We spent sophomore junior and senior year as roomies along side of Jesi. Amanda was the mom of our group, and still is to this day (now literally with 2 of her own babies!). Amanda is the friend that grounds you, makes you see what is important and makes you want to be a better person. She cares about everyone before herself and you know she is someone you can always count on to be there
Austin Erving
Groomsman
Austin and I met through our late mutual best friend Jesse. We didn't become good friends until the last few years after hanging out more together. Austin is a "ride or die" kind of guy and is always down to hang out. We share a lot of common interests, like cars and being full of useless information.
Brook Wilkinson
Bridesmaid
Brook and I met a few years ago at work at AGH. After moving away from home, I never thought I would meet a friend that reminded me and made me feel like I was home. She is the friend that tells you like it is, whether you want to hear it or not, and the first one to make fun of you. I often tease her and call her the female version of DJ, because I have never met two people more alike that say and do the things they do!
Michael Saienni
Groomsman
He's my brother, and I know....I'm the better looking one. All jokes aside, we have been through a lot together and theres no one else I'd rather have standing next to me on this special day.
