Maid of Honor
Annika has been such a steady, joyful presence in our lives over the past few years, and we’re so lucky to call her one of our closest friends. Whether it’s spontaneous hot pot nights, mahjong marathons, post-hockey food adventures, gaming sessions, or simply showing up when things don’t go as planned, she brings laughter, loyalty, and a competitive spark to everything she does. We’re beyond honored to have our gaming girlfriend, mahjong monarch, and competitive queen standing by our side as Maid of Honor.

In fact, Stanley is still the teammate that has scored the most on TJ in Hockey while on the same team. He is that rare type of friend that is loyal, honest, and will always be there for you. I could not be luckier to have him next to me on this special day.
