Wedding Party
Jackie Ward
Matron of Honor
Jackie and I both survived those daunting years of high school (and remedial math) together and somehow came out stronger on the other side. We were inseparable from ages 12-18, and although distance may have taken us apart our friendship never faltered. Fun Fact: our friendship can legally drink! Jackie is like sunshine in human form- truly one of the most resilient people I have ever met. If she's not on the basketball court coaching, you'll find her rewatching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. (for the 100th time), competing against anyone in literally anything (with or without their knowledge), busting out dance moves to all the classics, or wanting to correct people on their grammar but being too polite to do so.
Steve Meredith
Best Man
Moving in with Lance as my neighbor was an auspicious start to our relationship. Fast forwarding 15 years we have worked hard, played hard, been in and out of relationships, and lived together a couple of times. Steve married a girl from my hometown and had a couple of kids who will always be a part of my life as well.
Angela Feedor
Maid of Honor
Angela and I met the first year I moved down to St. John, when she had the "privilege" of training me to bartend and probably wondered which idiot hired me. Luckily, we quickly bonded over our love for 90's/00's music, true crime, Gordon Ramsay, and wine. In true middle child fashion, Angela is loyal to a fault, one of the most dependable people I've ever met and is unmatched for her ability to bring humor to any situation. She has this uncanny ability to find the best memes and is always down for afternoon tea. Oh, and her baked goods?! Out of this WORLD (seriously, do yourself a favor and have some Bare Baking).
Charlie Ferro
Best Man
If you ask Charlie how he knows me, he might say “I’m the guy who crippled him on the tennis court with a sick cross court shot” or “he’s been a roommate for way too many places. But that one house on the golf course was SICK.” We worked for a season together at Horns on Mackinac island, managed Stonewood together and partied from New York to St. John to Vegas.
Meaghan Camilo
Bridesmaid
You could say Meaghan and I grew up together, because we literally did. From our early days of rocking matching outfits, to our cousin sleepovers and even going to the same middle and high school, we were so fortunate to grow up as not just cousins, but best friends as well. This aspiring influencer (real life NP) has an adventurous spirit. She's traveled all over the world, loves her 4 fur babies, has recently joined the Bills Mafia, all while maintaining her title as Queen (Elizabeth)- talk about impressive! She is one of the most generous, supportive and dedicated people I have ever met and is never afraid to tell you the truth.
Adam Rucks
Groomsman
There is the version of Adam I remember from before he went away to college when I was 11 and the polished version we see today (Thank you Lauren). Adam’s turn on the computer was always first I’m sure of it. Adam always had the best seat in the big blue van on our summer vacations. Now he’s the most selfless Dad and hard-working husband. He has always let me sleepover (RIP blue couch) and now I almost have a room in his house. I love cooking for his family- even if I almost set the kitchen on fire (it was only 1 time and the cooktop was faulty I swear)
Kaitlyn Ostuni
Bridesmaid
If you searched the world over, I don't think you could find a more thoughtful and kind person than Kaitlyn and I am lucky enough to call her my cousin! Growing up, we always said we were going to live in the same city, and here we are- both living in Charlotte, 0.3 miles away from each other (Dreams really do come true)! She is currently thriving as a new Mama to the sweetest baby Cameron (and fur baby Landon), always up for a coffee adventure by day and a margarita adventure by night.
Kevin Rucks
Groomsman
Growing up, Kevin was everything you’d expect in a brother. Only he and his friends could pick on me, no one else. He looked after me and bailed me out of several of my mistakes. He invited me along to some of the cool things he and his friends were doing. The most important thing we’ve ever done together was when we picked up his awesome but huge wedding cake and transported it safely. Thank you for introducing us to Michy and I’m so glad she is a part of our lives. All the pets for Hanna too!
Marah Messina
Bridesmaid
The younger of my Lane cousins, Marah and I had the largest age gap growing up but the most in common. I think the phrase Dynamic Duo may be appropriate (I once convinced her to take a Jello Shot when she was 10). Marah has a heart of gold(en retriever), will leave you stunned with her quick wit, is always down to clown and will make you laugh until you cry. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious and something I've always valued about her. As we've gotten older, we've only gotten closer and I couldn't be happier!
Kevin McDowell
Groomsman
My little bro, if I ever had one. Kevin is very good about asking the real questions and making me think about the real answers. We have spent countless hours yelling into our computer mics at each other and laughing maniacally at the same time. In a round-a-bout way, by bringing Kevin up to Mackinac, I introduced him to his wife, Bre, and that’s awesome! Our next journey will be just as epic.
Damia Sprauve
Bridesmaid
The first night I met Damia was the first night I also met Thomas. We all went to QMP (iykyk) for "one" and the rest is history. As Thomas's sister, I knew I wanted to get on her good side and the more I got to know her, the more I realized she only has a good side. A true glitter icon, Damia can best be described as a free spirit who will tell it to you straight. My co-host in arms, Damia always brings the party wherever she goes.
Liston Sprauve
Groomsman
Liston is the DJ that married my sister, Damia, and I couldn’t be luckier to have found a best friend because of it. We will set up that football podcast one day! Here’s to the late nights, early mornings, partying, working, chilling, Thanksgiving’s, Christmas’s, pets, cars and boat days. And I am so thankful for your wonderful kids!
Kayla Yandon
Bridesmaid
Kayla and I first met in Oswego when she came up for her recruiting visit. I took her to a party to give her the real Oswego experience and convinced her to attend. A teammate quickly turned into a best friend, Kayla was instrumental in creating some of my most unforgettable memories. The Spencer to my Aria (the real ones know). Our friendship then took over Albany as we transitioned into adulthood. Through it all, Kayla has continued to be one of the most considerate, patient, down to earth people I have ever met. These qualities make her one of the best mom’s to her two beautiful kids Emmalyn and Macallan. We have the type of friendship that we can always pick up where we left off and it’s like nothing has changed- something that I hope everyone gets to experience in their lives.
Scott McCready
Groomsman
My future brother-in-law! We have only known each other for a couple of years but it feels like we’ve known each other longer. Although he’s a Bills fan, he seems cool enough. One of my go to guys to chill with when we are in New York or at one of the many weddings we have been to together. Glad to be a part of one big family!
