Wedding Party
Cindy Barkovic
Co-Maid of Honor
My beautiful big sister, Cindy, is four years older than me and has always been someone I've looked up to. Growing up, she was my built-in best friend - the one who made life more fun, a little louder, and a lot more memorable. She's the spontaneous one - the life of the party, the one who says 'just do it" when I start to overthink, and the person who can turn any ordinary moment into an adventure. Cindy brings so much joy, energy, and light into my life. My love of hockey is actually kind of because of her. She loved it first - and like any little sister who wanted to be just like her big sister, I got into it because of Cindy. Some of my favourite memories are tied to that, and I'll always think of her when I think of the game. She and Julie are truly my constants - the closest people in my world aside from my fiancé. Having Cindy standing beside me on my wedding day means everything. I wouldn't want to start this next chapter without her right there with me.
Julie Barkovic
Co-Maid of Honor
My baby sister, Julie, is five years younger than me but somehow the most mature of all of us. She's the steady one - the "mom of the group," the voice of reason, and the person who keeps us all on track when things get chaotic (which, with Cindy and I, happens often). Julie is dependable, thoughtful, and grounded - the one I can always count on no matter what. She has the softest heart...but don't let that fool you. She is protective and absolutely the type of sister who would fight someone for me without hesitation. Sweet, but definitely feisty. As excited as I am for her, a part of me is already missing her knowing she'll soon be moving to California to start her own chapter with her boyfriend. But no matter the distance, she will always be one of my very closest people. Having Julie stand beside me on this day feels so right - she's been there for every chapter, and I couldn't imagine this one without her.
Skylar Flannery
Co-Best Man
Skylar is someone who has been in my corner since we were kids. He's been a constant supporter of me through every stage of life and someone who genuinely celebrates my accomplishments as if they were his own. He's the kind of friend who shows up, lifts people up, makes every moment more memorable. From great memories to big milestones, he's been there through it all. Having Skylar stand beside me as co-best man means a lot, and I'm incredibly grateful for his friendship, loyalty, and support he has always shown me.
Alex McCaffray
Co-Best Man
Alex and I haven't always seen eye to eye, like most brothers we've had our share of disagreements and different perspectives. But through it all, he has always had my back and been there when I've needed him the most. At the end of the day, he's my brother, and that bond truly means everything. Over the years our relationship has grown stronger, built loyalty, respect, and knowing we can always count on each other. Having Alex stand beside as my co-best man is incredibly meaningful, and I'm proud to have him with me as I start this next chapter with Nicole.
