Ashley & Ralph
Help From Our Friends
Megan York
Maid of Honor
( You can call her Meg.) She's my younger (but much taller) sister who hasn't been able to look up to me since age 7. Meg has a heart of gold and always willing to lend a hand. Megan and her husband Derick live just outside of Charlotte, NC with their cats. They are much like Ralph and I, where one is the other is sure to follow. It must be a York thing ;-)
Maggie McDonald
Maid of Honor
She was my southern soul sister in South Florida and I don't know how I would have survived living away from Bojangles and sweet tea for so long without her. If you're curious where to go for a Sunday brunch, she's your gal.
Brandy Brennan
Bridesmaid
She's a South Florida lawyer who will tell you how it is. She's great at listening when you need advice just be prepared to hear the truth -- the way it should be. She is a fur mom to Jack Daniel and foster mom to the cutest animals around. Your fur babies don't stand a chance if there is a costume contest to be won, we promise.
Melissa Kady
Bridesmaid
Don't let this mom of a three year old fool you, Melissa can party with the best of them and then some! Not to mention, her and her husband Brad run a vastly growing property management business -- look up their properties when you're in South Florida. She can sell you a good time and a place to rest your head all at the same time.
Katy Engel
Bridesmaid
Katy is the ray of sunshine that you are missing in your life. Ralph met Katy when she began dating Bryan back in college. Ever since we met in the city a few years ago, she has made my life brighter with her humor and outlook on life. She has raised two beautiful and strongminded girls but her pride and joy is Max, her fur son. Be sure to ask about him to make her day.
Benjamin Lewis
Best Man
More like a brother from another mother. Ben and I were in the same kindergarten class and is my oldest and dearest friend. He currently lives in the Indianapolis area with his wife Jackie and two beautiful daughters Madison & Peyton. I'm grateful for his friendship and am proud of the husband and father he has become. His interests include music and anything Syracuse Orange related.
Bryan Engel
Groomsman
I met Bryan in freshman year of college (along with Howie & Jason) at good ole SUNY Albany. I appreciate his friendship more each year. He lives in New Jersey with his hysterical wife Katy and two wonderful daughters Emily & Casey. He might be a bigger Seinfeld fan than me. We’ve recently started to bond over our fantasy football addictions.
Howie Simanoff
Groomsman
At the time of this writing, Howie has recently returned from a three year stint in India with his wife Elizabeth, stepson Juan and newest addition, Lucas. I admire Howie's adventurous spirit. He is up for trying anything and always has fun whatever the activity.
Jason Lerner
Groomsman
Another member of the SUNY Albany crew. Jay currently lives in New Jersey with his amazing wife Jenn and their two too cool for school sons Ben & David. Jay is the most passionate person I've ever met. Mostly in regard to the NY Mets and Daryl Strawberry.
Don Romard
Groomsman
Don is my older brother. He currently lives on Long Island with his wife Lorraine. He has two sons Don Jr & David. Don is someone whom I would turn to for advice. He is a lover of wine and sailing.
