Heather & Joel
Wedding Party
Ryan Donaldson
Best Man
Ryan (Ryno) and Joel met in college. They could usually be found in the quad talking quantum physics and debating the day's political headlines. After, routinely attending the local watering hole until closing time (or being thrown out) one would usually carry the other home. Brothers from day one, there is nothing Joel wouldn't do for Ryan...Knowing quite well how much this statement could get him into trouble later in life.
Natalie Martin
Maid of Honor
Their story started like most sisters' stories do - endless fighting over who would get the top bunk, stealing each other's clothes, and Heather claiming seniority because she was older, taller and bossier. Until the tables turned one day and Heather realized that not only was Natalie taller than her, she also had discovered CrossFit and could bench Heather with one arm. Since then, they've had each other's backs through ups, downs, flipped cars and cross-country moves. Sisters by blood but best friends by choice, this is Heather's forever ride or die girl!
Ben Satterfield
Groomsman
Joel and Ben met in Scottsdale, AZ. Both Virgos and incapable of being incorrect, they quickly realized all arguments set before them would ultimately be a draw. They continue to agree on everything to this day. Joel can not find a better man to call a friend than Ben...and Ben agrees.
Domina Satterfield
Bridesmaid
Heather and Domina met while working at their first talent agency for two certifiably crazy [Edited-You get it]. This drove them together, and also drove them to attend Venice Beach drum circles and have many wine & cheese nights in Hollywood trying to find the perfect place to call home. It was neither Venice nor Hollywood. Between the countless bus rides to the beach (Uber didn't exist back then kids) they grew to become each other's Los Angeles family. Heather and Domina's friendship has come a long way these eight years... and they no longer frequent the Venice Boardwalk.
Jerry Thompson Jr.
Groomsman
Joel and Jerry met on September 12 in a year that will not be named. Jerry assumed the position of teasing and heckling Joel, along with other big brother duties assigned to him from then on. Joel not only loves his big brother, he looks up to the man he is. Literally... Joel is short.
Amanda Marsh
Bridesmaid
Heather and Mandi met on their first day of college. Both running late, they were herded into the same rush group, then sorority, realized they lived in the same dorm, and ended up spending the next 4 years wreaking havoc all over UF. Mandi grew to love the loud girl next to her, and Heather realized Mandi was the icing to her Oreo. They continue to love each other like quality baked goods, and also continue to show up late to all events including being the last two people to show up for their graduation ceremony. If Heather is late to the wedding, you will have Mandi and some Pumptinis in West Hollywood to blame.
Kevin Stayner
Groomsman
Joel and Kevin met in preschool, then they did a play together and didn't talk again until 7th grade. Either way, they were friends from the first day and continue to play a role in each other's lives. Joel has no longer or better friendship... Kevin will always be the Lost Boy to Joel's Peter Pan! (Because they were in the play Peter Pan together when they were really young...ok you get it!)
Sarah Avigne
Bridesmaid
Heather and Sarah were sorority sisters in college and later roommates. Locally known as the 'package deal' one was usually not found without the other. Sarah was also the only other person who could match Heather's unbridled passion for Gator football. Over the years they have seen the ups and downs of each other's lives (including Gator Football quarterbacks) and they look forward to the years to come. Also...The Gators play a throw away game on September 28th so they ain't missing anything!
Buster Posey Thompson
Dog Of Honor
The real star of the show!
