The Best Wedding Party Ever!

Megan Henze

Bride

Kyle Russell

Groom

Samantha Henze

Maid of Honor

Megan and I met on the day of my birth in January 1993. We have been sisters ever since. Although we fought like cats and dogs, at times growing up we were all each other had and this made us the closest of sisters. After a long hard day at school we would pile on her bed to watch Family Guy together and laugh all our worries away. A lot has changed since then but I still find comfort in snuggling up with my sister to a good movie. I’m so blessed with a wonderful sister and I am proud of the man she has chosen to spend her life with!

Toby Ali

Best Man

Tenacious D, wings, and StarCraft. Those are the three ingredients that catalyze the most epic of friendships. Toby and Kyle's meeting happened how any strong and long lasting relationships happen to happen: on an Internet Message board. After soliciting strangers on the web to play guitar for him because of his lack of willingness to put effort into anything, Toby found Brownsocks666 aka Kyle. For years after that epic meeting, there were nights and summers filled with alcohol fueled debauchery, ridiculous concerts, and ruined furniture because of Toby's cat. To many people in his life, Kyle is a beacon of inspiration. Hard-working and driven, Kyle has always been a template on how one could be prosperous in life, love, and happiness while also being fucking badass.

Bridesmaid

Megan and I went to high school together. Our friendship had a rocky start, but it flourished through inside jokes, not so inside jokes, band, and secrets. That school no longer exists but I’m so happy our friendship does. Megan is a beautiful, compassionate, and loving person. I’m so happy to call her my friend. I’m so excited for her and Kyle, and what their lives have in store.

Anna Mason

Bridesmaid

I met Megan when I moved to Canada in 2017 and started working at Foothills Academy. I was immediately bowled over by this blonde bombshell who asserted herself as a crazy cat lady within minutes of us meeting, knew everything about British culture, used offensive language AND loved Ricky Gervais. Either this person would prove to be my biggest rival, or - my Canadian soulmate?! Well, she turned out to be the latter (phew). Together we have partaken in ski lessons, pancake days, ‘Come Dine With Me’ dinners, PaintNites, comedy/live music/movie nights, ALL the Science Museum adults nights, badminton, Jiu Jitsu, pole-dancing, hiking, stampeding, etc etc! I could not be happier I found my new best friend in Megan! Kyle – PREPARE TO SHARE!! Haha Love you both loads, Anna xx

I met Kyle in grade one, his birthday party, where we played ninja turtles for hours. Been a long time since then, and through growing up, we became close friends. Moving to Alberta, Kyle was my strongest anchor,having him around to talk old talk and bitch to has been always a great encouragement, and a great time! Kyle through the years has been steadfast and and great guy, helped me through some hard times in life and never asks for returns. I hope all the best for Kyle and Megan, they are both amazing people, who make every encounter with them, memorable and fun! Congrats to the nerdiest, smartest, and best guy I know, and the amazing woman that has to deal with him!

Shay Murrell

Bridesmaid

I met Megan when we were working at Shoppers Drug Mart. Soon the SDM shenanigans brought us together and we bonded over food, boy drama and dancing (even if we weren't very good at it). Eventually we spread our wings and left our Shoppers Drug Mart home, but our friendship followed us around the world (including missing each other by a day or two in Edinburgh). Now here we are, and I am so honoured to be a part of Megan and Kyle’s big day.

Groomsman

I first meet Kyle in high school. He had long hair and wore this ridiculous Indiana Jones hat. Believe it or not, Kyle was the responsible one. It took a little peer pressure but he would inevitably be up for an adventure or two. I have put Kyle in a lot of precarious and awkward situations, and he has always taken it in stride. Many a drunken adventures, walking home trying our hardest to make it to our own beds before sunrise; we didn't always succeed. Kyle has stuck with me through many adventures and I am honored to stand with him at the start of this one.

Freya Russell

Flower Girl

My daddy is Jason, Uncle Kyle's older (and better looking) brother. When they were little, my daddy and Uncle Kyle used to play video games together but now I have replaced Uncle Kyle as my daddy's favourite gaming buddy. My Auntie Megan and I share our love for fur babies. I love to chase their baby Odie around and crawl around on the floor with Auntie Megan. I can't wait to help them celebrate their wedding!

Odie

Ring Bearer

Odie is our SUPER MEGA ADORABLE CAT who we love so much! (Well Megan does... Kyle just kind of tolerates him. But that's ok!) Odie is our honorary ring bearer and he can't wait to meet all of you at our reception! He is super snuggly and loves to show off for guests <3
