Karène & Andy
Notre cortège
Stefanie Cournoyer
Bridesmaid
I've known Stéfanie since I was 17. She is my best friend; that one friend you don't talk to or see for 3, 6, 8 months because life gets in the way but when you see each other again, it's like nothing's changed. Throughout the years I've surrounded myself with friends who had an opinion, who had depth and who could call me out when I need it and Stefanie is mostly responsible for it: she is my go to for life decisions, when I need to hear the real deal she will give it to me straight. She is one of the most likeable person I know; everyone LOVES her. She works as a health care director in a nursing home close to Montreal and raised an amazing familly of 3 beautiful and smart girls.
Christine Autate
Bridesmaid
Christine is my best friend Carl's wife. At least that's what she started out as. Now, she is my most available and loving friend. Yes, she talks A LOT, and complains A LOT but her big heart, love and friendship takes over all of that! She is always available to pick up the phone or to respond via voice message via text (although she knows I hate it) and always has a kind word and smart advice. She is a mother of two and built her own business as a professionnal photographer.
Andrea Roy
Bridesmaid
I met Andrea sitting at our local pub back when I was 25. We clicked right away and the very next week, I was babysitting her dog! With Andrea's husband Gab being in the Canadian army, they've moved quite a bit since we met. One would think it was hard to stay close and connected but true friendship stood strong! A phone call, a facetime date, we always found time to cheer each other up. Andrea and I have very similar styles and enjoy the finer things in life together. She is a mother of two and works for Canada Post out of Kingston, Ontario.
Christyne Cloutier
Bridesmaid
My sister, my step-sister, my friend... Christyne holds a lot of titles. We are 1 month apart in age, she lives in Toronto, Ontario and always has, but somehow, throughout the years, we managed to keep our friendship strong. At first glance she seems shy but give her a few minutes to warm up and she will make a room fall in love with her kind heart and smarts. New mom of baby Bria, I am happy we can now share what I know she dreamed of for the longest time: motherhood. Christyne shares her love daily, working as a prenatal nurse.
Julianna Gearhart
Bridesmaid
Julianna is Andy's best friend, Andrew's, wife. We've known each other for over a year now and our friendship grew quickly and unexpectedly! "Jules" is like a sister to Andy and from the first time we met, I knew she was going to be my biggest critic. Thankfully I passed and got on her good side (trust me, you don't want to be on her bad side!). Joke aside, Julianna has welcomed me into the family and I've gotten to know her for her huge heart, her love for animals (especially cows), her 4H kids, and mostly, family. Always ready to hit the trails for a hike or the pontoon for an afternoon of fun, I am trully happy we are building this friendship. Julianna also shares her love as a prenatal nurce in Ohio.
Andrew Gearhart
Best Man
My brother from another mother! If you know me, you knew who my Best Man was going to be. We have been best friends for over 20 years and counting. His family is my family and my family is his. Through all of the ups and downs in our lives, we have always been there for each other.
Emil Seculov
Groomsman
Emil and I started working together at Liquibox over 9 years ago. We started out as just coworkers but we have built quite a great relationship and now I consider him to be one of my closest friends. We are complete opposite in so many ways and that is why we work so well together.
David Adkins
Groomsman
David is my Brother-In-Law, Friend and the best father figure for Edward that one could ask for. We share a lot in common with our love for video games and music. Most of the bands that I love came from stealing the CDs that David would burn for Dorothy.... THANKS DAVID!
Edward Ernest
Groomsman
Edward is my nephew, my little sister Laura's son. He is my little buddy. We are always playing Xbox together or wrestling at Grandma Sherry's. His favorite thing to do is eat all of my dad's food. When he does he has this super infectious giggle that lights up the room.
Joshua Pelletier
Groomsman
Outside of the bride, Josh is my best friend in Canada. Whether it's playing PS3 or any kind of sports, we are always doing something together. He is also my French tutor and I his English teacher. He is such a loving caring kid and who truly makes the world a better place.
