Maryellen & Jonathan
Wedding Party
Maryellen Walsh
Bride
@lunathegoldentuna sums a lot of it up
Jonathan Collins
Groom
Everyone’s favorite.
Lauren Walsh
Maid of Honor
Mel’s little sister, Lauren, is quite possibly the funniest person Mel knows. Lauren brings spunk and laughter to everyone’s lives around her. She has been Mel’s right hand throughout the wedding planning process. Added bonus - she’s an awesome florist, so thank her for the beautiful bouquets and centerpieces the day of!
Daniel Collins
Best Man
The youngest, but tallest of the Collins brothers. You would never guess there is an eight year age difference between him and Jon. Dan is wise beyond his years and already a successful automotive mechanic - so feel free to ask him anything car related!
Alison Trynosky
Bridesmaid
The oldest and wisest of the Walsh girls. Ali is mother to the ring bearer and 75% of the flower girls. She truly has the mind of a mathematician and the heart of a mother of four.
David Collins
Best Man
Jon’s older brother and father of Alise, one of the flower girls. Jon grew up riding along everywhere in his red Jeep, that was eventually passed down to Jon. Dave is a Navy Veteran and continues to work in the field of nuclear energy.
Katy Walsh
Bridesmaid
The second oldest of the Walsh girls. Katy is the first best friend Mel ever had and is her biggest influence for going into the field of nursing. Katy now spends her days living in sunny Southern California as an Emergency Room Nurse to the stars.
Emmett Badai
Groomsman
Jon and Emmett met back in college while they worked renovating kitchens and bathrooms and have been best friends ever since. Emmett also works in law enforcement and had Jon in his wedding party as best man this past September. Emmett’s dog, Bronson, is even best friends with the Dog of Honor, Luna.
Megan Collins
Bridesmaid
Megan is definitely the most outgoing and adventurous of Jon's siblings. She is a world traveler and has spent the last four years teaching young children in international schools, such as South Korea and currently Poland. She has some great stories to tell for it.
Julie Minassian
Bridesmaid
Julie and Mel met in nursing school and have been besties ever since. Julie is frequently Mel’s voice of reason and always knows what to say! Life is so much better with her in it.
Saige Subick
Bridesmaid
Saige and Mel met in Sacraments class during high school, back when the biggest concern was getting to the locker break cookies before they ran out. Through high school, college and everything there after, Saige has always been one of Mel’s best friends.
Jacqueline
Flower Girl
With a love of reading that’s almost as big as her love of TV and video games, this eight year old is destined to be a politician or a singer...maybe both!
Catherine
Flower Girl
Definitely the sassiest of the flower girls, Catherine loves to sing, dance, and draw. But her all-time favorite thing is sneaking Aunt Loey (Lauren) and Aunt Mimi’s (Maryellen) makeup to try on for herself!
Madeline
Flower Girl
With a giant appetite for adventure, Mel and Jon's Goddaughter, Maddie, can play with the big boys (and girls) even though she’s the youngest flower girl. If you have any questions about Paw Patrol, Maddie is the one to ask!
Alise
Flower Girl
She always lights up a room with her beautiful smile. Alise has a passion for ballet and a love of horses. Make sure to check out her moves as she comes down the aisle!
Francis Xavier
Ring Bearer
Not only is he the namesake of the father of the bride, but he’s also down-right adorable. Frankie/Francis/Bubba just has to bat his eyelashes and crack a smile to get away with murder (a trick he learned from his three older sisters).
Luna
Dog of Honor
Everyone’s favorite Golden Retriever
