Tessa & Jay
Wedding Party
Monica Fahy
Maid of Honor
Monica and Tessa were in middle school when they met. They were both the younger sisters who got dragged to the hockey rink every night. Eventually their parents decided to introduce them, and the rest is history! Monica is still her oldest friend, sister, and now MOH. <3
Garrett Llewelyn
Best Man
Garrett has been a role model (of what to do and what not to do) for Jay’s entire life. Besides being a dependable and supporting older brother, Garrett is always lightening up the room to ensure everyone is having a good time no matter what the occasion. Despite geographical distances in their adult life, they have never failed to keep their brotherly bond strong, and Jay cannot imagine anyone else standing beside him on the big day.
Olivia Carter
Bridesmaid
Olivia and Tessa first met during Christmas 2018 when Tess spent my first holiday with the Llewelyn's. It was "sisters at first site" as they are both the youngest in the family, with two older brothers who just LOVE to pick on them....still.
Ethan Lange
Groomsman
Ethan and Jay have known each other since before they can remember. Growing up with Ethan has created a lifelong list of memories that Jay will never forget, from ruining Mario Party games in Ethan’s basement to standing in Ethan’s wedding. They are closer to being brothers than friends after the past 27 years.
Katie Bowe
Bridesmaid
Katie and Tess go way back to the reckless high school and college days. As college roommates junior and senior year, Katie is Tessa's go to girl when in need a fun night. Tessa and Katie just get each other, and there is no other way to describe their friendship!
Terry Shafer
Groomsman
From their freshman dorm to the final closing of their beloved Waterford 4301 apartment, Terry and Jay shared many memories during their college years. They were work out partners during the Hoy’s weekly circuits and stall mates in the locker room, but most importantly they perfected their beer drinking skills during six pack Sundays and Tuesday night trips to Patrick’s Pub.
Sierra Stark
Bridesmaid
Sierra and Tessa became close friends when Tess was a freshman at Temple University. Sierra and Andrew took her in as their little undergrad, and always took care of her! It was the sporadic keg parties, countless hockey games, and random movie nights that grew their friendship to what it is today!
Andrew Trainor
Groomsman
Despite the rocky introduction where Jay spilt beer all over the dinner table, Andrew and Jay quickly became good buddies as they realized their interests of hockey, golf and crisp cold ones was shared. Andrew is responsible for introducing Jay to the Wissahickon Skating Club, where Jay reignited his love for hockey, but more importantly, late night beers with the boys.
Georgieann Michels
Bridesmaid
Georgieann is a future Sulkes, and we cannot wait for her to be a part of our family. Georgieann and Jay quickly bonded over their mutual mid-western backgrounds.
Michael Sulkes
Groomsman
Michael (Tessa's oldest brother) and Jay have shared many rounds of golf together at Bluestone CC over the last few years. No matter how each other plays Michael never fails to light up the course with his “electric” personality and good spirits. However, Michael and Jay make better drinking buddies than Member- Member partners.
Lauren Troxel
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Tessa met shortly after college while working together at two jobs. When they're together, you either love them, or hate them because they just never stop laughing! It's not often you meet someone as an adult who becomes a life long friend, but that the case for Lauren and T!
Harrison Sulkes
Groomsman
Harrison (Tessa's older brother) and Jay share a unique bond. Like Jay, Harrison is also the middle child of an older brother and a younger sister. However, despite the stereo type of the forgotten middle child, Harrison and Jay both persevered and become each families golden child.
Valerie Price
Bridesmaid
Valerie and Tessa met freshman year at Temple University, living on the same floor of Peabody Hall (RIP). Living in Peabody gave them countless memories of mid-week arrests (not them...others) and other Tuesday night shenanigans. Although they don't see each other as often as we should, every time they reconnect, its like they never stopped!
Mark Fahy
Groomsman
Mark embraced his friendship with Jay as if they had been friends for years and never turns down an opportunity to celebrate the most trivial of occasions with a couple cold ones or a heavy pour of scotch. A key member of the Bluestone CC golf group, Marks most consistent golf skills take form at the 19th hole.
