Jess & Ali
Wedding Party
Meghan Carvery
Maid of Honor
Jess and Meghan met in high school and have been inseparable ever since! As teenagers they lived within walking distance and Jess could be found hanging out at Meghan's house more often than not- bouncing on the trampoline, watching tv and movies, taking pictures, planning trips, online shopping and all that fun stuff! They are great travel buds- Australia, Fiji, Greece, and the US! After all these years they are just as close as ever and Jess is thrilled to have Meghan by her side as her Maid of Honour!
Melanie Platt
Matron of Honor
Mel is Ali's best friend, the two have been through thick and thin together over the past 33 years- Mel also happens to be Ali's big sister! Mel is Ali's biggest cheerleader, best shopping buddy, budget maker, and personal advice columnist. Ali stood beside Mel for her wedding day and now Mel will be standing by Ali for her's. For a real fun story- ask Mel or Ali about their adventures cooking chicken strips in the oven!
Amy Gallant
Bridesmaid
Jess and Amy met at Camp Woolsey (summer girl guide camp) when they were 12 years old! Off to a rough start, Amy and Jess didn't quite get along. Low and behold that fall when registering for Pathfinders, Jess and Amy were stuck together again! However, after getting to know each other more they became very best friends. Many fun times have been spent together getting into trouble, camping, hiking, travelling, shopping, eating and drinking, and celebrating countless holidays and birthdays together! Jess and Amy also went to university together, enjoying frosh, studying hard, downing copious amount of coffee, and learning how to drink responsibly (HAH!) When bad or good things happen Amy is the first friend Jess will call- knowing she will always be there for her!
Emily Dineen
Bridesmaid
Jess and Emily have known each other for SUCH a long time! They often have to sit down and count together when they are asked this question! The two met in elementary school and spent their childhoods together playing in the neighbourhood, playing barbies, watching and reading Harry Potter on a never ending loop and crafting together. Jess and Emily's families are also great friends so many holidays and celebrations have been spent together! Get this- Jess taught Emily how to KNIT... when you think of Emily you think of knitting so that really says something! Jess and Donna suggested that Emily apply to work at Wabi Sabi, an Ottawa Knitting store, and she has been there ever since, being a pro knitter, teacher and fibre fanatic!
Katie Cadorette
Bridesmaid
Jess and Katie have known each other for the longest time! They grew up in the same neighbourhood and presumably met some time shortly after kindergarten. There isn't a time when they can remember not knowing one another! The two have spent so much of their lives together, elementary school, pathfinders, high school, university, and now even work! The two have managed to finally work at the same department and same building so they can spend lunch hours knitting together! Jess relies on Katie for advice and support on pretty much everything, its pretty handy to have a bestie who has known you for your whole life!
Jack
Ring Bearer
Arguably the most important job, Jack -Jess and Ali's favourite (and only) nephew, will be the ring bearer. Get this-Jack will be 3 years old the day after the wedding! Jack's favourite things include: dinos, cars, Disney princesses, colouring, and GRANDMA'S HOUSE! Jack is very excited for his big debut as a member of our wedding party!
