Amanda & Gerard
Wedding Party
Michelle LaMears
Matron of Honor
Michelle and I have worked together at the ECU School of Dental Medicine for about 8 years and she has a very special place in my heart. She is a true friend and if I need her, she is always one call away! I am so thankful for her friendship and to have her be a part of our wedding day!
Johnny Camargo
Best Man
My dad has shown me how to dedicate all you have to those that mean the most to you and I have truly been blessed to have been raised by him. We talk just about every night on the phone about every single topic you can think of from religion, politics, family, and life. I know that without him, I could not have become the person I am today!
Chelsey Greene
Bridesmaid
Chelsey and I also worked at the ECU School of Dental Medicine together. I needed help in the Faculty Practice clinic, so they brought on a couple of dental assistants to the school. They were thinking to put one of the other girls in to help me, but I was like, no I want Chelsey, I knew she was going to be awesome to work with right off the bat. We became super close, exchanging make-up, hair tricks and just life hacks. I love being around her, she is just a beautiful soul.
Matt Causey
Best Man
Matt has always kept me believing that one day I would find the right women and that my whole world would immediately change. He could not have been more correct! We used to go to Buffalo Wild Wings when either of us was having a rough day and we sometimes found ourselves going 3+ times a week. Needless to say, we be regulars at Buffalo Wild Wings!
Mindy Heath
Bridesmaid
Mindy and I are first cousins, but also best friends. We loved growing up together, but it wasn't until we were older that we really become really close. She has always had my back through thick and thin, if I needed her for anything (I mean anything, she would be there in a second). Most of you know I am terrified of spiders, so one night I left her house and went home to find a huge spider on my front porch and I could not kill it because I was so scared. I called Mindy and said "I can't go into the house because of this spider" and she came right over just to kill that spider for me. I will never forget the little things that she has done for me over the years. She is part of who I am.
Al Patel
Groomsman
I met Al through his brother Dak and since then, they have been there with me to enjoy the good times and help me get through the tough times. While they were leaving in Greenville, we used to hangout every single day and either go to the gym or binge watch just about every movie and show!
Heather Goodman
Bridesmaid
Heather is my sister-in-law and the day I meet her, I knew she was the perfect person for my brother. She is the most wonderful mother to my two beautiful niece's and I am so thankful for her and the way she cares for them. She is the most kindest and caring person. I'm honored to have her stand by my side on my wedding day!
Dak Patel
Groomsman
We met in my second year of college and have been through just about everything together. Dak, Al, and our friend Fallon, used to hangout just about every single day and watch TV, place bets on who would get eliminated from big brother next, or play Mario Kart! We were all together when I first started talking to Amanda and I felt so nervous that I would double check anything with them before I sent a text or called her. Sometimes they would mess with me a say things like, "Gerard, tell her that she is all that and a bag of chips" hahaha!
Acela Martinez
Bridesmaid
Acela and I work at the ECU School of Dental Medicine, when we first met we discovered that we share the same love for pineapples. We should have been sisters, we have so much in common, we both love all the same Nickelodeon cartoons and all the 90's things that were so awesome to grow up with. I am so thankful to have her in my life, she is the sister I never had!
Alex Gillone
Groomsman
Alex and I work at ECU School of Dental Medicine together for years and he said that he and Acela's (Alex's wife) mission was to would find me a girl and Amanda and I's first date was a double date with Alex and his wife. He is always trying to look out for me and when he can see I am stressed out for whatever reason, he will try to recruit me to cross fit.
Heather Houston
Bridesmaid
Heather and I are first cousin's as well. She is older than me, so she was like my little mom. I can always come to her if I need advice in life or need to just talk out a problem. She has always been super protective over me and I just love that about her. If someone messed with me, they mess with her. I am so grateful God choose us to be family, I couldn't image not having her by my side, especially on my wedding day!
Mark Milburn
Groomsman
I met Mark through his wife Taneet at the ECU School of Dental Medicine. He has been like an older brother and any time I have needed him, he has always been there without hesitation. Mark always knows exactly what to say at exactly the right time and he is probably one of the funniest people I have ever met. We can have entire conversations speaking ironically and sometimes Taneet will say that we have our on language. When the TV show Game of Thrones was big, we used to meet Sunday's eat dinner and watch it together. That was the TV show that got Amanda and I first talking and getting to know each other!
