Matron of Honor
I met Julia when she would ride home on my bus to our mutual friends house. We became friends when we were in French class together and the rest is history. This girl and I were attached at the hip, it came to the point where our teachers would call us the others name! We would hang out almost every day once I got my license and I have too many memories to count. One of my favorite memories was when she came home to surprise me our freshman year of college during a school break. I sobbed and hugged her so tight. Also all of our after school shenanigans like dancing in the kitchen and going to get teas together.

I have known Robert for nearly half my life now, so it’s hard to pick just one memory of the times I’ve shared with him. Countless and endless nights of PlayStation and lord of the rings starts off my nostalgia trip. I always look back at how Robert shaped the world I live in now by being such an influence in the things I listen to, watch, and do. Spending night after night doing movie marathons of kill bill and playing old PlayStation 2 games just sticks out for me as some of the best times I’ve had, but there’s no shortage to the list. Looking back shows how much we’ve changed but also how much we are still the same. Robert is what I’ve always referred to as the “last real gentleman” and if you know him at all then you can see why. He’s always been a great soul with so much to offer the people around him and I can’t wait to see what new memories are made in the bright future of the Castleberry home.

Julia and I grew up together, and I have so many special memories of our time together. From growing up together at the dance studio, to high school graduation, and every trip in between for dance competitions. My most favorite memories however, started when she moved to Wheaton and came back for trips. My most favorite summers have been when she comes home to Spokane to visit!

I met Bobby in elementary school through a mutual friend. We knew each other in passing and were friendly enough. In middle school; when real life social interaction took a back seat to online interaction, we each hopped on to our PlayStation 3 and our friendship really blossomed. Since middle school he’s become one of my closest friends and I’m grateful for him everyday. One of my favorite memories that we share together takes us back to the summer of 2018 when our dear friend Rory conjured up the brilliant idea to float down the Pemigewasset river - in the middle of a drought. We were approximately 4 hours into our float/walk down the mostly dried up river bed, our sanity fleeting, when Bobby suddenly looked like he realized he had left the stove on. “The keys” he managed to muster. The realization that the keys to our ride home had unclipped from his lanyard and now belonged to the some 70 miles of river (and that the only spare was inside the locked car) suddenly washed over us all. Our shitty ordeal became even shittier when we received word that AAA was two hours out and the sun was setting fast. Despite it all, Bobby managed to keep a level head and kept us all in good spirits. He managed to turn a bad situation into one of my favorite memories and I’m sure everyone who was there shares that same sentiment.

I met Julia fresh out of the womb. Although I don’t remember it very well, I have pictures that prove how much I have adored her from day one. The tight squeeze and ‘never letting go’ look showed that I knew from the young age, I had a built in best friend. Recently, thanks to our identical twin dad’s DNA, we have discovered we are ‘technically’ half sisters. I don’t doubt this for a second! Julia is my brain, but much more organized, efficient, and bubbly I am so lucky to have grown up alongside her and watch her become the amazing woman that she is. One of my favorite moments together was when we were little and were trying to fulfill our American Girl badges. We would wake up before sunrise to set up a tea party for our moms. It was very special and feels like yesterday!

I've been lucky enough to know Julia my whole life... my beautiful cousin and built-in best friend! From family trips growing up, to outings in Boston now that we both live here, Julia and I always laugh together and have the best time. I have to say, though, that my favorite moments with Julia have to be dancing around the kitchen, singing, laughing, and being silly together. I'm so excited to be by her side as she gets married and cannot wait for all of the fun memories to come!

Robert and I go way back. Depending on who you talk to, it’s between “the moon landing” and about seven years ago when I started dating his sister Bekah. I’ll let you decide which timeline fits best. Either way, every time I get to spend with Rob is filled with laughter and love. Whether it’s spending time by the water in the summer or across from him at a family dinner, we are never not laughing. Jules is the other half to Roberts pizza pie, the moon to his sun, the gin to his tonic, and I’m so very happy they have found each other. Rob is a great young man, and I am truly honored to stand next him on his special day.

When I first met Robert it was such a blast! I have this vivid memory of when he used to come over and visit my sister. We would always end up playing tennis together and having a ton of fun. I could tell right away that he was going to fit right in with our family. I'm beyond excited to officially welcome him into our family and can’t wait to make even more awesome memories together!

I met Julia when her dad and my husband became cooking buddies early on in the pandemic lockdown. It just made sense that we would be friends too, so we formed our own little COVID bubble group and spent the rest of that time at each others houses. And now here we are! One of my favorite memories with Julia (& Rob, too!) was when we didn’t didn’t to go whale watching. Not because I didn’t want to go, (I really, really did…Julia, Rob, we should still finally go whale watching!) but because of what a great day it ended up being despite our plans being cancelled at the last moment. We had all woken up so early to drive up towards Rockport to catch the whale watching boat. But, when we were 10 minutes away from the meeting point, we go the text: Cancelled due to inclement weather. Well, now what? It was still early in the morning and we were over an hour away from home, we had do something with the day. We ended up going to Halibut Point and hiking around, sitting by the ocean and looking at the tide pools. We had lunch at a lobster shack and walked around the antique shops in town. And that is what I love about our friendship; no matter what we are doing, even if our plans are cancelled and we have to scramble to figure out what we are doing, we will still have a memorable time. I can’t wait to see what other adventures we have ahead of us.

Robert and I met in high school and he has remained one of my closest friends ever since. Over the years we have had a lot of good times. One time in particular that stands out was one winter when Rory and I went to visit him and Wendy. If you have ever been to Wendy’s house then you would know that her driveway is STEEP and that an 06’ Hyundai Sonata probably isn’t going to do a great job trying to climb it when it’s covered in ice. Rory did not know that. So, after sliding down that driveway and praying we wouldn’t take out the house, we all tried (unsuccessfully) to push the car back up that steep hill. Ultimately we were left to wait out the snow. This resulted in the first time I spent the night at Robert’s house, and we had a blast. Good times:)

I met Julia through her fiancé, my coworker, Rob. Rob made even the most ordinary daily tasks fun and countless times I laughed until tears ran down my face. Inviting him to join the soccer team I played on was a no-brainer, and that’s when I met Julia. Julia transitioned from spectator to teammate, to one of my closest friends. From going on walks, to drinking rum buckets on the lake, to spending Christmas Eve together; Julia has the ability to make even the little things feel special making these small, sweet moments become some of my favorites. I can’t begin to put into words how grateful I feel to be celebrating with a couple that has made me feel at home and so loved more times than I can count. Cheers!

Bobby and I’s friendship started just like any great friendship, with a Fortnite win. Some of the most memorable moments have come from gaming as it is what brought us together. A memory that will always stick with me is the time he came over to my house while he was hanging out with my brother and his friends. The next day over PlayStation he goes “you know that was me that was over last night?” As if I didn’t know him in person because we had never hung out before. Even though our first interaction was only about 6 years ago, I feel like I’ve known him his whole life. There are countless stories I could tell (and clips I could show) but none can show how much he means to me.

Julia and I met while working as medical assistants at an urgent care. In fact, one of my favorite memories with Julia was the first day I met her at work. She introduced herself to me and basically gave me her whole life story all within a minute. I remember thinking to myself "Woah, this girl has a lot of spunk!" (mind you, it was around 7:30 AM on a Saturday). From then on, it's been nothing but laughs and good times any time I'm with Julia. Her positivity, willingness to help others, and tenacity are just a few of her many admirable qualities. I feel so fortunate to have Julia as one of my closest friends and cannot wait to be by her side on one of the happiest days of her life!
