Mistral & Matthew
Wedding Party
Rachel Fein
Maid of Honor
Rachel has been my friend since sixth grade. If anyone has known who I am and who I've been it's her. She is family, she is my sister.
Natalya Burgess
Bridesmaid
Natalya and I've been friends since the golden age of middle school. She is the bright spark in any group she's in. She always surprises me with her incredible kindness and ability to have fun in any situation (except bowling, seriously. She don't got time for that).
Julio Montalvo Valentin
Bridesman
Julio can be my valentine any and every day. Full of genuine love and joy he lights up any room he's in. That being said, Julio is no open book. I am thankful for that. And I should say Julio's only fault is that he thinks he has many, and his only weakness is Sofrito.
Annie Carter
Bridesmaid
If I've ever met a badass, it's Annie. My one true love (sorry Matthew), she has been there, in the room with me, during my lowest times. Annie fights tooth and nail against anyone that even thinks about laying a finger on her friends. She is fierce and loyal, and I love her so much.
Josh Elford
Groomsman
So I've known Josh for over 15 years. I wouldn't have moved to Buffalo if he hadn't pryed me up out of Flint. He's been like an older brother to me, and he's always come through everytime I've needed something.
Chris Barrington
Best Man
Ah jeeze. This guy is my best friend, and my foil. He's the sweetest guy I've ever had the opportunity to know. He knows me better than anyone.
Jennifer Skelton
Groomswoman
I haven't known Jenni as long as I've known some of the people in the bridal party, but we've made up for it with some amazing experiences. We both share a love of elephants and happy crying (usually both at the same time). Jenni is an amazing friend - she's always down to hang, especially if it involves snacks, a movie, and blankets. She's always been so supportive and helpful to Misty and I, and we're both so proud to have such a beautiful and brilliant person in our lives.
Maxwell Wojnowski
Groomsman
I knew Max and I were going to be friends when he said, "I'll be your friend!" the first time we hung out at a bar in Rochester. We live a few hours apart, so we don't get to see each other all that often - but we make it work. He's always there when I need some quick advice or a witty ironic meme for an internet argument. :^)
Jake Slattery
Groomsman
Jake has an enormous personality, he's probably the most dramatic, sincere, and hilarious person I've ever met. Anyone who's met him has an opinion about him and they are probably wrong. I don't think there's anyone in the world who I have more in common with when it comes to what/how/when I'm thinking. He's an outdoorsman/nerd/masseuse/comedian and used to be a model for clothes or something. Ask him what he thinks about elitists.
