Wedding Party
Hayley Fox
Maid of Honor
Big sista, Hayley has always been my number-one supporter and advocate. Since day one she has fiercely had my back as well as keeping me in check whenever necessary. Hayley is my first facetime when I need someone to talk to or just to show her the plate of nachos that I'm eating. *Margarita cheers* sis, thanks for leading the way.
Jordan Hamilton
Best Man
Jordan and I met in high school, but our relationship has only flourished over time. Jordan's character; highlighted by his undying loyalty, virtue, and dry humour, are just some of the reasons I hold him in such high regard. It's an absolute honour to call him my best man.
Emma Bryson
Bridesmaid
Emma B is the OG baller. Whether we were running up the court or down a field, Emma showed me the true value of making a teammate into a friend. She has been this strong, constant pillar in my life. There if I need someone to lean on when life gets too heavy and a supportive force who leads by example on how to conquer the whole damn world. Till the end of my days, I hope people can still never tell us apart from behind.
Andrew Adams
Groomsman
Andrew and I have gotten along since the moment we met. His calming demeanour has always put me at ease (except yonkers) and his love for the people he holds dear is immeasurable. He and I have seen the lowest lows and highest highs together. We will undoubtably continue to do so in the future, both on Sept. 6th and beyond
Lauren McNeill
Bridesmaid
Lauren is the radiant light in that woman-to-woman friendship that everyone needs in their life. A compassionate force to get you through the lowest of lows, but also the energy you want by your side to share in your happiest of moments. Whenever we're in a room together, her presence is a captivating magnet to me and by the end of the night, we're probably holding hands. I will always keep this human close, heart & hand.
Ian Archibald
Groomsman
Ian's growth in many ways mirrors my own. A true athletic nerd, Ian's curiosity as a teacher has accentuated his scientific persona adding to the athletic competitor I would regularly school in 1 on 1's. He is, and will always be, the jovial, eccentric friend that I appreciate so dearly. Even when he is deeply entrenched beneath Andrew's skin.
Jill Smilestone
Bridesmaid
Jill Schmee is the Buzz Kill Jill that everyone needs in their life. She is the true partner in crime, best friend to all. She pretends to be high maintenance but is actually one of the most adventurous, bravest, ready for anything kinda friends I have. Jill, I would follow you over mountains, across rivers, and under bridges (as long as we ended up at Nelly's). Thank you for being my person.
Clark Stordy
Groomsman
Clark is the most loyal, humble, and loving friend I will ever have. Clark has been by my side since I was six years old and will continue to be until the day I die. Silent ronald and I have experienced so much together and I know its only just begun!
Rachel Hammond
Bridesmaid
The moment I stepped out of my house and onto the school ground, que Rachel. From tree climbs, dirt rollin, prom walking, she was there. My forever go to analyzer of msn, bbm, text message, facebook post or Mario Sunshine, you're my girl. I think we've come a heck of a long way, I'd still be a middle-partin, low pony-tailin, rag-a-muffin boy child if it wasn't for you. Thank for you every secret whispered at a sleepover and every belly laugh that left us sore. I am forever grateful for growing up by your side.
Jacob Ordinelli
Groomsman
Jacob has been a close friend for my entire life. He commands a room with his aura, constantly making him the life of the party. It is, however, Jacob's empathy that drives me so close to him. Watch the tears flow as you tell him a sad story if you must! He has a heart of gold and will have me with him until the end.
Jade Panzaraza
Bridesmaid
The music nerd, beanie kid who was always in a rush to her next extracurricular. Who knew that one compliment about how I thought her jeans were cool would change my life. Jade, you are my constant reminder that the world is good. My open-another-bottle-of-wine-because-why-not kind of friend that everyone needs on the other side of that glass clink. Best part of it, before bed she's going to bully you into a water chugging contest to help with the hangover. Thanks Doc
Craig Asiamah-Yeboah
Groomsman
Boogie has been an indispensable part of my life from the moment he asked me if I was watching big brother in training camp of 2012. He has always been real with me, both when I was too high and too low, keeping me grounded to who I am and allowing me to aspire to who I could be. He stuck with me through the hardest points in my life and I'm confident he will be with me through all the battles to come.
Christine Gaudet
Bridesmaid
Chrissy G is such a core part of my being. She omits and commits to this dreamer mentality that has me in complete awe of her. I have followed this woman over waves, up mountains, off bridges, and you better believe it, onto countless dance floors. Whether a success or fail, at least it made for a good story. Christine, thank you for leading with your heart and getting others to follow with that sneaky side smile and your "might as well" shrug before jumping off the deep end.
Riley Tripp
Groomsman
Riley has a heart of gold. He and I made friends immediately when we met on the football field at Laurier and lived together for three years. He is everything you want in a friend: loyal, loving, funny, and always there when you need him.
Stephanie Robinson
Bridesmaid
Whether it's over a tequila shot or a cup of tea, Steph is always there to listen and support. She is my vibrant educator on topics such as the importance of feeling, the foundation of self worth, and why social norms apply. If I ever got out of the house wearing something unfortunately outrageous, it was because Steph couldn't catch me fast enough. If the planets have aligned, and we've schemed our way out on the town and low on the dance floor, it' gonna get weird.
Sam Petrie
Groomsman
Who's better than us? Nobody. Sam entered my life during my PhD and I am eternally grateful he did. Sam's compassion and reliability are "cracked", always being someone I could lean on in times of need. Although his jokes are sometimes "dogwater" Sam is someone who will be with me for the rest of my life.
