Wedding Party
Chelsey Trembley
Bridesmaid
Chelsey and Kahlee met in 2013 while both attending first-year biology classes at the University of Guelph. Highlights of their friendship include being roommates (twice), cramming for exams in many different and strange ways, belting musical numbers, and tagging along for piercings, tattoos, and whatever else either of them needed. Chelsey has been such a huge part of Kahlee's life that she even came along for the cross-province adventure for Mark and Kahlee's engagement. Long live the prius!

Rebecca Latreille
Bridesmaid
Rebecca and Kahlee met in 1997, the year Rebecca was born! They played together as children (although sometimes not nicely Kahlee admits), went to the same high school, worked at the same McDonald's and will hopefully both be living in British Columbia soon! Late nights perfecting our musical duets as children has changed to late nights watching RuPaul and stuffing our faces with junk food and Kahlee loves it!
