Wedding Party

Meet our lovely friends and family who are walking down the aisle with us! We are so blessed to have you all in our lives and a part of our special day!

Jennifer Herd

Maid of Honor

Who else would I want to stand right by my side other than my sister, my partner in crime, my best friend? Jen AKA "Sis" is probably the craziest gal I know. Growing up with her made life so much more exciting and I am grateful to have an amazing sister who I know will be my best friend for life! Jen graduated from Binghamton University with an undergraduate degree in Biology and is continuing classes at Binghamton for her masters in Public Health! She's a smart cookie!


JeDonovan Otey

Best Man

JeDonovan is my number one best friend. Without him, I wouldn’t have had half the fun in my life. We could probably ruin each other’s life and still laugh it off. Our friendship survived thousands of miles of distance with ease. There’s no one else I could imagine being my best man.

Allison Camuso

Bridesmaid

Ally and I met when I started going to public school in 9th grade. I'm not sure when we became best friends, but it's probably because we realized we're both weirdos and laugh at just about anything. We've made so many memories together (like annual Christmas cookie baking, stalking One Direction, skiing and then Allison laughing when I broke my leg, and the list goes on) and I know we will continue to do so for many years to come! Ally now lives in Poughkeepsie with her boyfriend and adorable cats Zoe and Rue, working as an RN.


Matthew McKinney

Groomsman

Matthew is the friend I’ve known the longest. I’ve always looked up to Matthew as a sort of big brother. He definitely has his head on straight while making life look easy. Matthew’s skills include: clutching the victory royale, blackjack, and juggling.

Catherine M.

Bridesmaid

Catherine was my first friend at SUNY New Paltz. We were both transfer students and met at orientation pursuing the same majors and both not too excited to start this college thing all over again. Thankfully we became suitemates, then roommates, best friends, to sorority sisters, and then housemates, so naturally she had to be my bridesmaid! Catherine is quite possibly the kindest, sweetest person I have ever met and I'm blessed to have her in my life! Cat lives in Raleigh, NC and works as a Community Health Educator. She has plans to go back to school and apply for med school!


Joseph Mathis

Groomsman

Roxanne Susskind

Bridesmaid

I met this lovely lady in a not so lovely dorm suite that we shared. We actually didn't speak much until we joined a sorority together and BAM, we became close friends who shared a lot in common (and no not because we had to)!! I ended up getting to share the same roof and a wall with her for another year when we moved into a house together, and I'm so glad I did. She has taught me how to grow beans from plastic bags, take a break from studying, scream & dance my heart out to Ed Sheeran, and to take opportunities that come my way. Roxanne is in graduate school for teaching and recently started a new teaching position!


Edgar Montes

Groomsman

Always flooding the group chat with memes, Edgar is the most internet-savvy person I know. He’ll probably make a meme video of the wedding complete with dubstep and impact-font text. Ladies, he’s looking for a traditional woman to settle down with, so scoop him up while you still can.

Christy Dunn

Bridesmaid

Christy is my literal angel. Along with Meg, Christy made getting through grad school possible. She calmed me from breakdowns, boosted my confidence before tests, gave me her snacks/dinners, cracked my back really good, and made me laugh to no end with her crazy stories. We actually worked at the college together (the topic of our first conversation) and you can only imagine how that went! Christy is the most genuine, kind-hearted, selfless person I know. She would do anything for a friend or person in need. I am so blessed to have this friendship. Christy just moved to Westchester, NY with her boyfriend and accepted a new speech job!


Austin Neal

Groomsman

Austin is the little big brother that I’ve always looked up to. He’s always had his head on straight and went after what he wanted. Always calm and hilarious, he and Ryan made me laugh daily and made West Point a little more bearable.

Meagan Bates

Bridesmaid

I would not have survived grad school or my first job without this lovely human. I met Meg when I started grad school in 2017. We think our friendship started on Halloween when we went into town to see the pumpkins displayed. Somehow the topic of "stars" (yes, like in the sky) came up and I just remember laughing more than I had in a while. I was instantly comfortable around her and in such a short amount of time, I became so close with Meggy. I can't even begin to name everything we've laughed and cried over, but she made grad school memorable and exciting. Meagan lives in Delaware with her adorable puppy Lucy and works as an SLP in a skilled nursing facility (that may be haunted)!


Ryan Wright

Groomsman

Biggest biceps in the game today. Ryan is the reason I experienced American Burrito withdrawals for months after graduating from college. Shoutout to the woman who tried to take our friendship to the next level for some beads in New Orleans.

Addelyn Bryan

Flower Girl

We're so excited to have Austin's precious little cousin be a part of our big day. Thankfully her and her family are moving back from Guam just in time for the wedding! Whether she ends up walking down the isle or not, she will definitely look adorable in pictures!!

For all the days along the way
