Katie & James
Special Family and Friends
Katie Mason
Bride
If anyone knows me, I never really dreamed of getting married. It was never a top “priority” for me. My dreams consisted of buying a home, completing nursing school, and traveling, that was until I met James. It is the most amazing feeling when you find that person, that you want to share every single life experience with forever. For the most part I spend my days working as a medical assistant, dispatcher, and attending my senior year of nursing school. I love my animals, my rescue Pittie Sasha, and my 3 chinchillas. James has been nothing but the best dad to my fur babies, and treats them like he’s known them forever! I am so excited to see all my friends and family on our big day!
James Hynes
Groom
As most of you know, I’m James. I enjoy long stays in the wilderness camping out in the peace of Mother Nature. Meeting Katie is the highlight of my life. She brings out the best in me and pushes me to become the best I can be. There is no better feeling than knowing Katie is my person. I remember when I told my parents that I was going to ask Katie to marry me, they were so supportive and like my mom said “when he knows he knows”. Asking Katie to be my wife has been the best decision of my life. She is the most loving and supportive person I know. I can not wait to have all our friends and family together as we become one and party our butts off!
Patrick S. Mason Jr
Father of the Bride
My Father is my absolute best friend who always has my back. I could never thank him enough for taking on a dual role in raising me, something I will forever be grateful for. I couldn't have asked for a better person to walk me down the Isle!
Theresa Hynes
Mother of the Groom
My Mom, since I was a child has always been like my personal journal, my therapist and one of my biggest supporters. Whether we were at family parties or in the kitchen I've been attached to her hip. I have always been a momma's boy.
Leslie Hynes
Father of the Groom
My Dad, by my side to cheer for my success' and to dust me off from my failures. He may believe that learning is best done by doing even if he knows it will lead to failure, but knows the lessons that will show from trying are better understood from doing.
Morgan Schmitt
Maid of Honor
Morgan has been my bestfriend for over 12 years now. We have been through very rough parts of life together and seen the good, bad, ugly. Over all I wouldn't be the person I am today without her! No matter what we have stuck by each others sides. I am honored to have you part of my big day and to share many laughs together, just like we have for over half of our lives!
Ali Quast
Bridesmaid
Ali and I went to High school together, and over time became the best of friends! We have traveled a lot together, Maryland, South Carolina, Atlantic City, and more! Even with our busy lives, when we see each other, its like time stopped and we pick right up where we left off. I know we can count on each other and I am forever thankful for that!
Chrissy D'Altilio Fentiman
Bridesmaid
Chrissy and I met through EMT school together and its been history ever since, we became close very quick! We went through medical assistant school together as well and were partners at work, so everyone can only imagine the crazy stories, laughs, and tears we have had. We both love to travel and have been on some awesome trips together. I was so honored to be apart of your big day, and now you are a part of mine!
Thomas MacDonald
Man of Honor
I've known Tom just about my whole life. My mother babysat him waaaayyyy before I was born (haha Toms old). Tom and I really began to connect about 10 years ago when I joined Keansburg EMS. Through our love for guns, our extremely dark senses of humor, and glorious obsession for the gym we quickly became much more than friends. Tom has been by my side for some of the toughest choices of my life and laughed with and at me when some of them backfired in my face. I never had a brother but Tom is the closest thing I have to one and couldn't be more thankful for our violent brotherhood.
Bryan Fentiman
Groomsman
Whether you need someone to laugh at, with or just need a helping hand, if Bryan is around you get what you need. Bryan and I to this day still cant remember where we first met. We grew close at EMS and have been laughing our way though life ever since. Late night drives and pigging out at the building. Watching Bryan get frustrated while trying to put lights in cars and laughing at him for hours on end and laughing at the people around us. Bryan has always been there to entertain and make me laugh.
Itai Teichman
Groomsman/ Flowerman
I first met Itai at Katie's house when we first started dating to have a get together watching Friday night Smackdown. Once the ice was broken we were like two beans in a smoothie ( if you know, you know). Many of nights were spent with HOURS of saying goodnight. Hes always got an open ear and an empty stomach. When weird conversations are talked about Itai is always ready for the topic and eager to share his opinion on it. Itai is down for anything at anytime, especially hot pot and wrestling.
