Hailey & Christopher
Wedding Party
Wendy Edwards
Mother of the Bride
I can’t imagine this day without my incredible mom by my side. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to realize just how lucky I am to have her in my life. She has supported me through every step of this wedding process with so much love and patience, whether it was helping me pick out the perfect dress or just holding my hand when I’ve needed reassurance. She’s truly been my partner in this journey, and I know I couldn’t have gotten here without her. I can never fully express how grateful I am for everything you’ve done for me. You’ve shown me what true love is through your words, your actions, and the way you’ve cared for me every single day of my life. On my special day, I feel so blessed to be your daughter. I love you more than words can say.
Laurie Olliney
Mother of the Groom
My mother has supported me through thick and thin and I'm forever grateful for her. Her smile is infectious and her care and attention to all of life's details are unmatched. She has taught me how to care for others, work hard, and enjoy everything that life has to offer. I have no words to express how much love I have for my mother.
Rich Edwards
Father of the Bride
From the first time I remember holding his hand as a little girl, to getting to walk me down the aisle, my dad has always been the steady presence in my life. He taught me what it means to be strong, to be kind, and to work hard for the things that matter most. More than that, he showed me what unconditional love looks like, and for that, I am forever grateful. Now, as I prepare to start a new chapter with Christopher, I’m so thankful to have had such an incredible role model in my life. The love and support my dad has shown me over the years are part of the foundation of who I am, and I know that those lessons will guide me in this next chapter of my life. I feel incredibly blessed to be your daughter, and I couldn’t imagine my big day without you walking beside me. I love you more than words can say, and I’m so excited to share this moment with you.
Daniel Olliney
Father of the Groom
My father is the other half of my paternal support system. From the earliest age, he taught me the importance of rolling up my sleeves and building what I want. Since then, we've completed countless home projects and I've learned how to do so many things that have been vital to my early days of homeownership. I am forever thankful for you, dad. I love you.
Cara Edwards
Maid of Honor
I am so thrilled to have my little sister by my side on this incredibly special day. Not only is she my maid of honor, but she is also my best friend, my Disney World travel buddy, and one of the most important people in my life. She’s always been my rock, whether I was navigating the ups and downs of life or simply needed someone to share a cup of coffee with. Over the years, she’s shown me what it means to be truly supportive, loving, and loyal. I am beyond lucky to have her in my life and couldn’t imagine taking this step without her by my side. Cara, I’m so thankful for you. You are not only my Maid of Honor but the best sister I could ever ask for. I love you so much, and I’m so happy to share this day with you!
Benjamin Wong
Best Man
Please meet, Ben "Stu" Wong, my three-time college roommate and the reason I made it through Bentley University in one piece. After living across the hall from one another during Freshman year, we bonded our challenging roommate assignments and it was then the bromance was born. No matter how much time passes, Ben picks up conversations as if we last talked yesterday.
Karlee Rewers
Bridesmaid
Karlee and I have been best friends since kindergarten. Whether we were laughing over inside jokes or supporting each other through the toughest times, we’ve shared countless memories that I will cherish forever. Karlee is the kind of person who always has your back. No matter what life throws at us, she’s been there through thick and thin—offering advice, laughter, and sometimes, a much-needed shoulder to cry on.
Rudy Haddad
Groomsman
Rudy is my day one SVB co-woker turned lifelong best friend. Rudy is one of the most caring and humble people I know. Rudy took me under his wing from the start and has helpe me develop into the banker I am today and if not for Rudy, I'm not sure where I'd be today in my career. Although he just moved to CA, he had to travel coast-to-coast for this party.
Kayla Markovitz
Bridesmaid
Kayla and I met on 6.2, and from that moment on, I knew we were going to be lifelong friends. Kayla has the best sense of humor. We have shared many laughs at 3 am, but she has also been my shoulder to cry on when I needed it most. She has been there for me through every major moment, and I truly don’t know what I’d do without her.
Patrick Bell
Groomsman
Patrick has been a lifelong friend. Meeting at leadership camp in our early high school days, we've been strong friends ever since. Patrick is so unapologetically himself, and he inspires everyone around him to live life to the fullest. No matter what has happened or where you find youself, Patrick is always one call or text away and willing to stop everything to listen or help.
Arianna Turello
Bridesmaid
Arianna was my preceptor on nightshift on 6.2. We bonded immediately, and she is now one of my best friends. She is always up for a coffee run or a pre-shift pow-wow in my car. Arianna is a badass and her ability to stay calm under pressure is legendary. She’s the first person I go to when I need a dose of advice, a pep talk, or someone to laugh with.
Corey Kilroy
Groomsman
Corey and I first connected through high-school soccer. We were always early to practice and quickly became friends. It also helped that Corey was talented and I was not; so I spent a lot of time trying to learn from him. In the time since, we have stayed close, spending a few summer months on college break working at the same liquor store. These days, Corey is studying at PA school and running an elite fitness social media platform.
Camile Thibodeau
Bridesmaid
Camile was my work mom on 6.2. She’s the person who’s always there with a soothing word or a reassuring smile when you need it most. I can always count on her to pick up my phone calls and spend hours just talking about life. Her ability to stay calm under pressure, combined with her caring nature, makes her not only an amazing nurse but also an incredible friend.
