Wedding Party

Ashlee Rush

Matron of Honor

My lovely big seester! We shared a bedroom from birth until she moved out and looking back we can laugh about our constant fights we had as kids but I silently revel in how much closer we get year to year as we get older. There is no one I'd want more than you directly beside me on our big day. Let's hear that MOH speech! (just kidding, she's terrified!)

Emory Mandala

Best Man

We became friends in grade school because we had lockers near each other. Emory was always in my way so I started hitting him with my religion book and it became the thing that made us friends. We lived together in Tallahassee and traveled all over together, we've had ups and downs but can always count on the big guy!

Shea Smith

Bridesmaid

A big shout out to this chica for being the only one who would play "house" with the me growing up. We have pretty much spent all of our lives together and every big moment between all of us has been shared together so I couldn't do this without my bestest cousin!

Andrew Burke

Groomsman

Burke, Uncle Barbie or Kid Rock which ever you prefer to be called. Burke and I met at work (Fun Station) while studying at FSU. We always have a good time no matter what we're doing and sometimes our adventures get pretty crazy. Thanks for always being willing to do stuff and traveling all around the state to do things with us!

Sam Sims

Bridesmaid

Whenever I retell stories involving this girl, it always starts something like this: "my friend, Sam-- well, she's technically my cousin but really she's my best friend..." She has proven that family can be your best friends and I am always thankful for her sweet, tender heart. So a huge "thank you" to this girl for saying "yes" and standing up there with me and adding to our never-ending slew of fantastic memories.

Louis Resnick

Groomsman

Ol' Louis; we became friends in second grade when you started at St. Francis. Grew up doing boy scouts together, going to G.C.C every summer and started college together at USF. I'm so glad you decided to go to culinary school; it's amazing how things turned out. I miss not seeing you as much but whenever we get together nothing seems to change!

Nikki Thompson

Bridesmaid

From the early days of playing Barbie Riding Club on her computer to midnight premieres of the Harry Potter films, Nikki has always been the one who 100% endorsed my strange side without any hesitations (mainly because we're cut from the same cloth). Some of my most cherished memories are the ones we made together and those will last a lifetime. I can never thank her enough for standing next to me on our big day!

Ben Peres

Groomsman

Ben, we've been friends for as long as I can remember. Always had a good time doing school sports at St Francis and going on scouting trips (especially our trip to Rhode Island.) Thanks for always having us all over to your house all the time and traveling all over Europe with me in high school. Thanks for being my room mate in the dorms at USF and binge watching LOST for the final season and living with me the whole time in Tallahassee.

Stephanie Ragoonanan

Bridesmaid

I met Stephanie when I met DJ and I have loved that she has been here from day one. I couldn't have survived the early times of the long distance days without this girl! I love how much we have gotten to experience together and couldn't see myself up there on our big day without her by my side.

Carlton Ragoonanan

Groomsman

Carlton and I met at work (Fun Station) while going to FSU. Became friends when we realized we were home town neighbors, we would go riding four wheelers every Sunday. We became roommates at college where Carlton met his wife, Steph. Miss riding down to the palace and riding around the national forest. Glad we're now neighbors!

Ashley Bass

Bridesmaid

The literal glue that holds my emotions together sometimes! I gained a special friend when I met DJ (and Walt!). Despite the fact that she lives 6 hours from us, there were so many times when I would send her a random message out of nowhere and she was ALWAYS there. This girl is just so genuinely caring and that's definitely hard to find these days so believe me when I say this girl is the real deal! When I start to ugly-cry, be certain that I will be looking over to her for reassurance that I can just let it flow! I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!

Walter Johnson

Groomsman

Walt baby LUV and I became friends while working at Fun Station (pretty sure he was still in high school but that has yet to be proven.) Had some great times in Tally riding four wheelers and exploring around. We need to hurry up and get our pilots license so we can fly around and harass people but we would argue about putting a turbo on it or a mini fridge on the plane. All kidding aside, so glad we became friends and appreciate all the stuff you do for me!

Anna Hicks

Bridesmaid

It's no party without Anna! I love how, no questions asked, she's always down for whatever. Everyone needs an Anna in their life and I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't!

Oisin Dolley

Groomsman

Oisin you've been around as long as I can remember, loved growing up together doing scouts and sports then becoming room mates at FSU and also being co workers at Fun Station. Look forward to many more vacations and trips!

Kelley Whyte

Bridesmaid

Kelley and I have definitely gotten closer this passed year and I'm so thankful for that! She is quick with the comebacks, never backs down from a challenge and has such a giving and caring heart. I can't picture my wedding day without this girl with me.

Phillip Santini

Groomsman

Wendy, remember when we became friends calling each other names at Ben's house in middle school? We had great times hanging out at Ben's and going camping on the island. So proud of for you joining the Navy, loved coming to visit you in Hawaii and then going with you to drive your car back from Hawaii (Jk we picked it up in Charleston). Look forward to more adventures! We still have to try and cross the state and maybe you won't be late this time.

Aubrey Taylor

Junior Bridesmaid

My first born, my daughter, my spit-fire. Words will never be able to convey what you mean to me and I will always be thankful for you. I'm so glad you'll be with us on this day and thank you for the honor of standing next to me. I love you lots and lots.
