Alyssa & Brandon
Wedding Party
Kelly Mulcahy
Maid of Honor
Kelly and Lyss were childhood neighbors, which then became best friends once the Feehery family brought them closer together. Once Lyss started dating Monk, Kelly and Lyss were then the H-F Hockey Fan Club. Kelly's younger brother Conor, who is a groomsman, played hockey for many years with Monk. Their families became very close, it was always the Feehery's and Mulcahy's together, until Lyss came along, she made her way into the gang. Lyss and Kelly were always together but with Kelly away at ISU, Lyss missed having her around. This then sparked the idea in her head to go to school in Bloomington-Normal. Lyss and Kelly became roommates, and boy did they have the time of their lives together. They created memories that would last forever and a bond that would never be broken.
Shane Feehery
Best Man
Monk and Shane are brothers and being only 17 months apart, they have always been not just brothers but best friends. They grew up always playing sports together, which made them both very supportive of each other. They have always had a bond that many would call rare, no matter what may get in their way, nothing will ever tear them apart. With Lyss being a part of their family for now almost 11 years, Shane and her have formed a brother-sister relationship as well. They may argue like siblings but no one, or anything will ever come between their trust and love they have for each other. Shane is one of a kind and we are so thrilled to have him apart of our big day!
Paige Feehery
Maid of Honor
What can we say about Paige Mariah, well first she is an amazing human being! Paige plays such a big role in our relationship, from supporter, to friend, to sister. Paige has always been our biggest supporter, she has always loved us together, even though she found/ still finds Lyss to be "weird". She really has always shown us how much she loves our relationship. Paige is someone we can always go to, to either cheer us up, show us a good time, or to make us feel loved. Lyss and Paige have a friendship, which over the many years is more like sisters. Paige has always been one of Monk's biggest fans during his athletic career, always being at his hockey games or cycling races. Now as he steps down the aisle to marry his best friend, he knows he will have someone beside him cheers us on.
Conor Mulcahy
Groomsman
Conor and Monk have been best friends since they were Mites on the ice. Their families grew close when the three, Monk, Shane and Conor played hockey and baseball together. Over many years they became more like brothers. Conor is more like a brother to both Monk and Lyss. Conor has always loved us and supported us. He has been a part of our relationship from the beginning and to have him in our wedding is everything we hoped for. We are so excited to be celebrating this major occasion with Conor by our side!
Kandice Gallagher
Bridesmaid
Kandice is Monk's cousin and one of Lyss's closest friends. Kandice and Monk grew up together, more like brother and sister really. Their Mom's being twins and their Grandparents playing such a huge role in their lives, they really didn't spend much time apart. Lyss and Kandice, better known as "Kiki", became really close over the years. Kandice inspires Lyss, she is a very strong woman, a loving wife and daughter (and soon to be MOMMY!) and an amazing friend. We can always count on Kandice to be there for us, and we are so honored to have her as part of our wedding. We wouldn't have it any other way!
Don Gallagher
Groomsman
Don and Monk have known each other for years. They played high school hockey together at H-F and when Don started dating Monk's cousin Kandice, it was teammates that turned into a close friendship. With Don and Monk being close friends, Lyss and Don were able to have a friendship that became one they could rely on. With all four of them, Monk & Lyss, and Kandice & Don being in high school for the start of their relationships, they definitely needed someone else to talk to about "relationship things." They are so glad they were able to have each other, because without some of that advise, who knows what would have happened. We are so lucky to be able to share this day with Don, who we are all soon to be officially family!
CJ Brish
Groomsman
Cj is one of Monk's best friends from college. They went to Lindenwood University in St.Charles Missouri and raced collegiate cycling together. Their friendship is one for the books, never a dull moment and stories that will go one forever. Cj and Monk can always find a good time, if they aren't able to find a party, they will figure out a way to create their own. This friendship is one many never truly come by and Monk is happy to be able to share this major moment in his life, with someone he knows will help to make it one we cannot ever forget!
Eric Rinearson
Groomsman
Eric and Lyss grew up right around the corner from each other, but Monk and Eric have been friends since childhood. From going to school together, to play sports together, to Eric going into the military and coming home, with Monk and him only forming more of a brotherhood during that time apart. Once Monk and Lyss moved to Knoxville, Eric was the one friend from home that has always kept in touch. No matter the reason or the distance that comes between Monk and Eric, they will always remain friends, this is why Monk feels so honored to be able to have Eric standing by his side, on the biggest day of his life.
Joey Ireland
Jr. Groomsman
Joey is Lyss's nephew and Monk's main buddy! Monk has been apart of Joey's life since he was born and to have him in our wedding is exactly what we imagined it to be. We love him so much and we are so happy he can stand up with us on our big day! Now Monk will officially be Joey's Uncle, a moment they have both been waiting for since forever!
Billy Ireland
Ring Bearer
Billy is Lyss's nephew and being almost 2 years old he is a spunky ball of fun that we are so excited to have walk down the aisle on our wedding day! He is full of love and excitement and we are sure you are going to love and laugh at everything he does. He will definitely help to make this day even more memorable.
Brynn & Harper Rodekohr
Flower Girls
Brynn and Harper are two of Monk's little cousins. Lyss has been in love with them since the day they were born. With their parents allowing us to be a part of so much in their lives, we truly could not be happier to have them as our Flower Girls. They are the most gorgeous little girls that will be sure to light up our wedding day. We cannot wait to have them in our wedding and for you all to meet them!
Keith Feske
Officiant
Keith is Lyss' Uncle and Godfather. We are so happy to know that we will be having someone who has known us together for all these years, marrying us! We love Uncle Keith so much and we feel so honored he wanted to fill this role. We cannot wait for him to say the words "You may kiss your bride!", it is going to be a moment we hope we will not ever forget!
George Charles
Ring Security
George Charles is our loving dog and fur baby, and we are so lucky that he can be included in our wedding. There is no way we could get married without him there by our side. He means everything to us and we are so excited for him to share this day that we have been waiting for!
