Chantel & Michael
Wedding Party
Mickey Pucci
Maid of Honor
19 years ago, Mickey & Chantel met in Miss Simmons grade 6 class and spent most of middle school side by side. They were then lucky enough to end up at the same high school, where they spent many lunches eating waaay too much Kraft Dinner, passing notes instead of paying attention in class & playing on the lacrosse team together. Although college took them on different paths, Mickey moved up to Barrie shortly after Chantel moved to Innisfil and for the past 5 years they could be found planning craft nights, traveling to Nashville, spending every Halloween together and hitting up all the Harry Potter events they can find.
Joey Nieleszeruk
Best Man
Although being brothers is a strong bond that can never be broken, enduring years of heartbreak caused by the Cleveland Browns has created an even stronger bond for Joey & Michael. No one else could understand the pain they've encountered as no one else is a Brown's fan. All joking aside Joey and Michael have been inseparable since Jan 1991. They have always been there for each other and there is no better way to continue the tradition than to have Joey be the best man at Michael's wedding.
Sarah Bettencourt
Bridesmaid
Sarah & Chantel met when Chantel's dad moved in across the street from Sarah & her parents. In no time at all, 11 year old Sarah was bossing 14 year old Chantel around. After bonding over Baskin Robins, Jersey Shore, tequila shots, and failing at starting a cupcake business together, they have accumulated over 16 years of friendship, have been by each others side through thick and thin and still never fail at finding ways to get themselves in to trouble while together.
Mark Varrall
Groomsman
Mark and Michael met on the soccer pitch when they were 11 years old and continued to play together until Mark attempted to play forward and score a goal, only to break his leg and miss the net. Mark has been there for Michael along the way helping Michael around his house and always being there for a trip, concert or drinks. Michael is so happy to have Mark stand in his wedding, as he stood in Mark's with him.
Kyla Blanchard-Dobson
Bridesmaid
Kyla and Chantel met 13 years ago in high school and bonded on the bus while Chantel was on her way to swim meets and Kyla was on her way to her part-time job located near the pool. Although Kyla graduated not long after their friendship began, they still found time to test out their fake IDs, take multiple Wasaga Beach trips, go to countless concerts and even celebrate Chantel's birthday in Montreal together. Although they traveled in opposite directions for college, they still always find their way back together for a red high heel night.
Brad Kinzett
Groomsman
Brad moved into Michael's neighborhood the summer before grade 5. They instantly became great friends, with sports being the motivating factor. Brad and Michael have even traveled together for soccer from Sudbury all the way to Hawaii. 20+ years later they still remain good friends and are up for anything together. Looking forward to having Brad lead the charge on the dance floor come July 24th (after he stretches, of course).
Katie Nieleszeruk
Bridesmaid
Katie is not only Chantel's future sister-in-law, but also a great friend. Since meeting in 2012, they've shared a strong love of animals, books, clothes, spinach dips & Netflix shows. Katie is the only one who is always down to play board games with Chantel and she has the best stories to tell at the dinner table, which never fail to make Chantel laugh.
Caleb Storteboom
Groomsman
A shy, 19 year old Caleb joined the Adjala-Tosorontio Fire Dept. a year after Michael and it did not take long for the two of them to bond. Caleb is now a captain with that fire dept and is the perfect fit for the role. After going on a few trips together, Michael was lucky Caleb wanted to remain friends with him after he almost ran straight in to Caleb's head with a Sea-doo in Cancun. Michael is also so happy to have Caleb stand in his wedding, as he stood in Caleb's with him.
Abigail Barnes
Junior Bridesmaid
A couple of weeks after Chantel's 18 birthday, the sweetest, kindest, most compassionate little girl came along and made her a big sister. At 13 years old, Abby is constantly teaching Chantel new things and Chantel has finally gotten what she'd always wanted - a sister to share books and shoes with!
Ella Barnes
Junior Bridesmaid
Ella may be Chantel's youngest sister but she is the boss! She is the funniest 9 year old on the planet, who never fails to make everyone around her smile. Although there are 22 years between them, Ella and Chantel still have many common interests such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch, books about animals & filling up their photo album on their phones with pictures of dogs.
