Wedding Party
Nancyann
Maid of Honor
Nancyann is more than just my maid of honor; she’s been my confidante and partner-in-crime since the seventh grade. Our friendship blossomed when we bonded over our mutual obsession with New Kids on the Block, spending countless sleepover nights singing along to their songs and sharing our dreams. From those early days of giggles and shared secrets, we’ve navigated the ups and downs of life together. Nancyann's unwavering support and infectious laughter have made every moment memorable. Whether we’re reminiscing about our childhood antics or facing new adventures, her spirit and kindness shine through. I couldn’t imagine this special day without her by my side, standing with me as we celebrate love and friendship.
Kellie
Bridesmaid
Kellie, my amazing bridesmaid and official partner in crime, entered my life when I was just 17 through Larry’s sister. Little did I know then that this chance meeting would evolve into a lifelong friendship filled with unforgettable adventures. As fate would have it, our paths intertwined again years later when we teamed up as “Sweet n Sour” partners with LAPD. From tackling challenges together to sharing laughs during our wildest escapades, Kellie has been my rock and my confidante. Her fierce loyalty and adventurous spirit make every moment together a joy. I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this special day, celebrating not just my love, but the incredible bond we share.
Sunshine
Bridesmaid
Sunshine, my wonderful bridesmaid and Larry's sister, came into my life during those carefree days spent hanging out with Larry. Who would have thought that years later, I’d not only reconnect with her but also cherish our friendship so deeply that I’d come to call her my sister? From our initial meetings, it was clear that Sunshine had a warmth and brightness that could light up any room. As we’ve grown closer over the years, she has become a source of joy, laughter, and unwavering support in my life. I’m incredibly grateful to have her by my side on this special day, celebrating not just my wedding, but the beautiful bond we’ve formed that feels like family. Don’t forget to wish her a Happy Birthday since she allowed us to share this day with her!
Deena
Bridesmaid
Deena, my fantastic bridesmaid, and I first crossed paths when our kids were just little ones starting their hockey journeys. From that moment, it became clear that some people have a special way of making life brighter, and Deena is definitely one of those people. As our families bonded over the excitement of hockey games, we quickly became intertwined, sharing countless memories on and off the ice. Deena's warmth, humor, and support have made our hockey family experience even more rewarding. I am so grateful to have her by my side as we celebrate this special day, honoring not just our individual journeys, but the beautiful friendship we've built throughout the years.
Jd
Best Man
JD, my incredible best man, entered my life through Jen and her amazing circle of friends, and it was clear from the start—hockey families are a different breed! Our bond quickly developed into a hysterical friendship filled with unforgettable adventures and plenty of laughs. From the moment we connected, JD’s infectious humor and larger-than-life personality made every gathering a blast. But fair warning: always keep an eye on your beverages around him! He has a knack for turning the ordinary into the outrageous. I’m so grateful to have him standing by my side on this special day, celebrating not just our friendship, but the fun and camaraderie that comes with being part of this wild hockey family.
Alex
Groomsman
Alex, Jen’s wonderful son, will be walking her down the aisle and standing by my side on this special day, and I couldn't be more excited to have him there. He truly is such a great kid—his kindness, maturity, and sense of humor shine through in everything he does. Jen has done an incredible job raising him, and I feel fortunate to have begun building a relationship with him. As we celebrate this momentous occasion, I’m grateful for the bond we’re developing and the memories we’ll create together. Having Alex beside us adds an extra layer of joy to the day, and I look forward to sharing this experience with him as we celebrate our day!
Zack
Groomsman
Zack, Alex's brother, will be by Jen's side as she walks down the aisle and then standing next to me, and I couldn't be happier to have him there. Over the past few years, getting to know Zack has been a true delight. From our shared love for Legos to movie nights and those meaningful car talks, every moment has been fun. Jen has done a fantastic job raising him, instilling a sense of kindness and curiosity that is truly admirable. As we come together to celebrate this special day, I’m grateful for the relationship we’ve begun to build. Having Zack alongside us adds an extra layer of warmth and joy to the occasion, and I look forward to making more memories together.
Dom
Officiant
Dom, the other half of Kellie, is our officiant for the wedding, and there's so much to say about this lovable goofball! First and foremost, a huge thank you for your service with LAFD—your dedication is truly appreciated! And Jen is especially relieved you never showed up to her R/A request! Now, if you think you’re coming to watch Dom be super sweet as he officiates the wedding, you might want to double-check the invitation! While he does have a calm and gentle demeanor, he’s also got a knack for making everyone laugh. Seriously, be sure to take care of any bathroom breaks before the ceremony because once he starts talking, you might just laugh so hard you’ll end up in a bit of a predicament! No pressure, Dom—just keep being your incredible self and bring that unique charm to our special day! We’re all excited to have you guide us through this moment, and I can’t wait to see what you have in store!
Taralin
Photographer
Taralin, our amazing photographer, plays a vital role in capturing the essence of our wedding day. It’s often said that God puts people in your life for a reason, and Taralin is a perfect example of that. Her vibrant spirit and infectious laughter have a way of brightening even the toughest days, making every moment feel a little better. She’s been more than just a photographer; she’s been Jen’s trusted photographer for her coaching business and a supportive teammate during her fitness competitions. Now, she’s taking on the incredible task of capturing the special moments of our wedding, preserving the joy and love that will fill the day. I’m truly grateful to have Taralin by our side, knowing she’ll bring her talent and heart to this celebration, ensuring we can cherish these memories for years to come.
