Elliott & Ashley
Wedding Party
Anna Barkman
Matron of Honor
I have known Anna for nine years. Anna and I met in college at CBU; I was her "little sister," and she was my "big sister" on the swim team. Anna has always been very special to me. Our friendship started at CBU, but it was not until later, after we both graduated, that our friendship blossomed and grew into becoming forever family. I am forever grateful to have Anna support me and stand next to me on our special day.
Alex Feldman
Best Man
He's like a brother to me. We grew up together at a private boarding school since elementary. We'd take trips to each other's hometowns as kids. 24 years later, it's as if nothing has changed. He is the one person I can count on, and no doubt will he be my friend forever. It means the world to me to have him there on the day I get married.
Kelsey Pearce
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and I have known each other since college. We became close friends on the swim team, and our friendship has grown over the years. I am so grateful to have Kelsey as a dear friend because she has the softest and most caring heart who has always been there for me. Kelsey has not only been a teammate and friend, but she has become someone who I can call family and know that she will be there to love and support me on our special day.
Blake Werner
Groomsman
We have similar interests and like to have intellectual conversations about life goals. Talking with him brings me motivation and determination. If I were to start a business with a friend, it would be with him. Besides that, we tend to tease and give each other a hard time!
Mary Logan
Bridesmaid
I met Mary during my first visit to CBU. I knew that Mary would be a great friend when she welcomed me and made me feel like I was part of the swim team family. Mary and I lived together for two years at CBU, and I could not have asked for a better roommate. We shared many late nights watching tv shows and eating ice cream together. I am genuinely thankful for our friendship and for all the love she has given me over the years.
Austin Lewis
Groomsman
There's always that one goofy friend in your crowd. He's one of them, and I feel like I can be myself around him and laugh together. We both love sports, and we are very competitive, so it's fun trying to beat him. ;-P We also share our interests in art. I truly value my friendship with him.
Jason Merlino
Groomsman
He and I are competitive when it comes to racing. Not only would we go to an adult speed karting every once in a while, but we would also kind of, sort of race on the road trying to get to any place first. ;-P Competition between him and me brings the kid out of us, laughs, and happiness in life. "I beat ya!"
