Flower Girl
Camila Ellyn Long is our 7 yr. old daughter that lights up our family with her love of all that is good, oh and dogs, she loves dogs! She is very excited to be the flower girl in her parents wedding. Our hope for our daughter is that she sees and feels the love of what a family is meant to be. Through the good and the bad, the ugly and the beautiful, the hard work and sacrifice, Family is all you have in this world, nourish it!
Ring Bearer
Edwin Myles Long is our 9 yr. old son and the heartbeat of our family. He is a creative young man that wants anything and everything the world can offer him. He's hungry for life and curious of the world. We want our son to learn that hard work, perseverance, and a little bit of street smarts will open most doors. But love is the key to ultimate happiness.
Maid of Honor
Jenessa Riordan is not only my Maid of Honor but my older sister. She has watched our romance blossom from the beginning. Whether it was at our family bbq's or on the streets of Philly, she witnessed Ev and I fall in love. But most importantly she is Titi J to our kids. I couldn't have asked for a more supportive cheerleader on my sidelines or a better aunt to my kids. She is my go to for EVERYTHING, my moral compass to my fashion guru! And on the 25th I get to make her proud as I become a wife.
Best Man
Uncle Greg, what can we say other than waffles. Gregory Long is Evan's younger brother and was in high school when I first met him. We watched Greg become an adult as he watched our family grow. I'm not sure whose idea it was but, Ev and I had 3 yr. old Edwin and baby Camila, while Greg was a 3rd year college student when we shared an apartment together. That year was filled with laughs, bats, and elbow drops. During that time Uncle Greg learned not to eat the kids waffles, I learned not to pick a fight with a 20 yr old college student first thing in the morning, and Evan learned that Greg and I had the same schedule. Greg is the brother I never had and our little family cherishes that year spent growing with each other.
Best Man
Jason Long is Evan's older brother and the kid's Uncle Jay. Growing up Ev was always on his brother's coat tails getting into trouble while Jay egged him on laughing. As the years went on as did Jason's traveling, college in RI to settling in Boston. Even with Jason in Boston he still managed to come home for birthday's and holiday's. When Edwin began "learn to skate" his uncle Jay traveled home every Sunday to teach his nephew the basics of hockey. We've even grown close with Jason's friends and look forward to enjoying their company at our wedding.
