Wedding Party
Paige O'Neil
Maid of Honor
There is no truer bond than sisterhood. Ever since our days of hiding broken lamps and distracting from pudding stains on the ceiling, we have always had each other's back. Paige is the world's best crafter/gift giver, dislikes carousels, and loathes bees. She loves sandy beaches and watching scary movies I cannot handle.
Sam McNeil
Best Man
Sam and I met in 2014 as summer employees in Yellowstone National Park and have continued to work together every summer since. We've shared many late night conversations on the back porch of the Chalet at Glacier Park Lodge and were partners in the Glacier Park Lodge employee golf tournament for 4 years. We never won but we did have a great time and more than a few adult beverages! We shared best man duties at Brad and Erin's wedding, and I've asked Sam and Brad to do the same for me.
Brad & Erin Madison
Best Man & Groomswoman
Like Sam, I met Erin & Brad working in Yellowstone National Park in the summer of 2014. On a whim, I asked Brad if he wanted to share an apartment at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, FL as we were both planning on spending our winter there. That spur of the moment request changed my life. After Erin's college graduation, the 3 of us spent the next 8 summer and winter seasons working and living in close proximity. We've spent many days and nights on the golf course, around campfires, floating the river, and giving each other a hard time over a game of poker. I served as best man at their wedding, and I'm honored that they've both agreed to be a part of mine.
Kiana Potter
Bridesmaid
Best friends since 7th grade volleyball try-outs, we survived adolescence together and have remained each other's cheerleaders for 12+ years and counting. Kiana is the best Sonic companion, is the Lilo to my Stitch, and is my first call when I make poor hair decisions.
Sierra Lieback
Bridesmaid
Soul(room)mates, we lived together for 4 wonderful years at Marywood. Every year, Sierra and I made Christmas cards, my favorite including this great photo. Sierra is the best karaoke partner, is a huge Nightmare before Christmas fan, and has infectious positivity.
Erin Marion
Bridesmaid
Erin (aka ErnMrn) and I were homies since the beginning of grad school when we were paired for our first facilitation project. Erin loves long walks/hikes (at a pace faster than I can keep up with), never missing a photo op to sit on my shoulders, and watermelon.
Justin Goss (Goose)
Groomsman
Goose and I met in 4th grade and have been thick as thieves ever since. Always the voice of reason growing up, Goose was constantly trying to keep us out of trouble while I was ever the opposite. We grew up enjoying camping trips with Dad and occasional trips to Pensacola to check out the Naval Aviation Museum. After living together for almost 4 years in our early twenties, I headed out West and didn't look back until I met Tara. Despite our distance, a mutual love of online gaming has helped keep us close.
Taylor Hettinger
Bridesmaid
Taylor has been a part of the family for over 6 years now. As the partner of my brother Dylan, she has witnessed the O'Neil family shenanigans first-hand and still willingly spends time with us (at least we tell ourselves it is willingly). A cheerful and supportive almost-sister, I am happy Taylor is my friend.
Austin Smith
Groomsman
Austin and I worked together in Glacier during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. We formed a bond over our mutual love of fantasy football and trash talk. We took a cross-country road trip together in 2016, stopping to visit Yellowstone National Park and to enjoy a memorable 16 hour marathon day of soccer and football at the Buffalo Bar in West Yellowstone. Austin left the Glacier crew behind in 2017 to start a family, but we've remained close over the years. Austin would also like you to know that his 4 year old daughter most likely drives a boat better than you.
