Emily Young

Matron of Honor

Meet Emily! Bestie since birth, she’s been there since day one. Big sister roles, where we fought and bickered, but also she has been my constant through all the years. She’s been there through the highs and lows and it’s my honor to have her by my side on this special day.

Zack Neslen

Groomsman

Zack is my older brother of two years, and has always been a leader to my younger brother and I. He is responsible for driving me to always be better whether it was to compete with him in hockey or on the PlayStation. Zack has always been there to support me, and also keep me in check when I need to be humbled. I am very thankful to have him as an older brother and stand with me on my wedding day!

Leslie Betancourt

Bridesmaid

Meet Leslie! First college roommate ever at Campbell University in 2014. I loved being able to grow through so many seasons of life since day one. I love that we are always able to pick up where we left off despite any time that goes by. Standing by her side on her wedding day, and now full circle having her by my side will be the sweetest memory.

Joe Nelsen

Groomsman

Joe is my younger brother of 3 years, and has always been the free spirit of our family. We can always count on him to keep things light. Joey never misses an opportunity to come over the top with some comedic relief no matter the subject, and I cant wait to have him stand with me on my wedding day. I am sure he will keep things light and stress free!

Miriah Ventre

Bridesmaid

Meet Miriah! We battled through and earned our doctorate degree at the University of St. Augustine in 2021. Best travel partner in crime, traveling to 8 different states together (NYC, CT, GA, CO, and CA just to name a few!) We’ve shared the sweetest moments and oh how my soul is recharged after every visit when we see each other. So thankful to have her by my side!

Ryan Psinakis

Groomsman

Ryan and I met our freshman year at Lenoir Rhyne University where we both played lacrosse together. Ryan has been like a brother since the day we met, and our relationship has never wavered. 2 years ago when I came back to Charlotte Ryan and his family were there to take me in. They have always treated me like a child of their own and I am blessed to have them as a part of my life. I can't wait to have Ryan stand with me on my wedding day and enjoy the celebration after!
