Paige & Brentley
Our People
Courtney Miller
Maid of Honor
Since 2005 When people ask me who my best friend is, the answer for me has always been simple. Courtney and I met in seventh grade at Holy Trinity during Mrs. Brown's English class and have been the best of friends ever since. Courtney is undeniably the most thoughtful, generous and genuine friend & soul I have ever met. I am so grateful to call her my best friend and my maid of honor.
Michael Rasmussen
Best Man
Since 1999 When I moved to Oviedo in fifth grade, Michael was the first friend I made. With his fun-loving personality, he quickly became my best friend. We were both in gifted class and lived a block away from each other, so we spent a lot of time together, whether it was making our 99-track debut album on a computer mic or having a matchbox car draft or voicing over TV shows (he was much better at that than I was). Over the years, we've played a lot of golf, put wagers on just about everything, laughed uncontrollably about dumb things, been roommates, but most importantly, Michael as always been a great friend and, along with his family, has always been there for me. There's no other person who I'd want to be my best man – and I'm also excited to stand by him at his upcoming wedding.
Marissa Campbell
Bridesmaid
Since 2011 Being a freshman at Auburn University was just about the most nerve-wracking experience ever. After hearing Marissa was going to be my roommate (potluck roommate, I should say) I knew that it was also going to be one of the best experiences. Marissa is one of the most fun spirits out there who always kept me laughing and feeling loved during our time together at college. War Eagle, Icci Bear!
Dustin Fender
Groomsman
Since 2007 Yo, this guy! I met Fender in high school through a mutual friend. We grew close in college and eventually became roommates, bonding through countless inside jokes and games of NBA2K. I can always count on Fender when I need a laugh (sometimes at his expense). I was honored to stand by his side at his wedding and now can't wait for him to do the same.
Rachel Richter
Bridesmaid
Since 2008 Dating back to sophomore year of high school, Rachel and I met during art class when we quickly realized that we loved a lot of the same things: fashion, clothes and fashion. Rachel is one of the most thoughtful friends - even though the years have passed, her love for always reconnecting has shined. I love you, Rach!
Mark Bittner
Groomsman
Since 2013 It took a couple of years for Mark and I to become friends, but once we did there was no separating us (and he now has no problem giving me rides to the gym). We were roommates for a year before Mark moved to D.C., but we've remained close friends. We share a love of guitar, golf and John Mayer, and I'm excited for him to stand by my side as I did for him a few years ago.
Molly Winsten
Bridesmaid
Since 2005 When I randomly sat down at an empty table on my first day at Holy Trinity (not knowing a single sole) I happened to sit down to one of my future bridesmaids. Molly, thank you for all of the memories during jr. high, high school and beyond. From making fun of George, to you always cooking yummy meals to of course - your parent's sofa, it's been quite the ride!
Eric Ward
Groomsman
Since 2007 Eric and I share a special friendship. We met senior year of high school and through volunteering at the YMCA. He taught me how to play guitar and also influenced me to strengthen my faith and get baptized. We share a love for music, and spending Christmas Eve at his house has become a tradition over the past decade. His family has been great to me, as well, even if I still have never won a game of Wizard.
Esther McIlvain
Bridesmaid
Since 2015 Esther, Esther... you are such an incredible and special soul. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to think that someone as great as you would be friends with me. You are one of the most creative and special people I have ever met. Thank you for being you and for all of your support throughout the good and hard times. I love you, E.
Ryan Wing
Groomsman
Since 1994 Wing is my oldest friend. We met in pre-school and have been friends ever since, sharing a love for playing and watching sports. He is solely responsible for my hatred of tequila, but he's been a loyal friend through the years. I admire him for his work as a police officer and as a dad to Brea. I stood beside him at his wedding (and then played a role in him losing his ring at the beach), and I'm glad it's his turn to do the same for me (just not the second part).
Anna LaBalbo
Bridesmaid
Since 2017 Anna Banana. I'm so glad our (future) husbands brought us together. I've loved becoming good friends with you over the past couple of years. I look up to your faith and thank you for bringing me light and love in every day life. You're one special gal!
Shawn Sweat
Groomsman
Since 1990 Shawn has been a big brother to me ever since I was old enough to break into his room with a screwdriver. We both love the Gators and music (just not the bass-pumping stuff he listens to). My favorite moments with Shawn over the years have been throwing the football around and laughing about stupid stuff. It was an honor being in his wedding and it was a no-brainer to have him in mine.
Alessandra Nepa
Bridesmaid
Since 2002 I am so grateful to have Sasha in my life. We are cousins and am so fortunate for all of the amazing times we have spent together from family vacations in California, Chicago and Florida. I'm so excited to have her a part of our special day. Love you, Sash!
Mark LaBalbo
Groomsman
Since 2006 Mark and I were introduced through a fantasy football league in high school. We became better friends through church and numerous sports. Even though we root for rival football teams, we both love the Magic – and just watching and talking about sports in general. Mark has become someone I can talk to about spiritual questions and I'm glad that Paige and Anna have become close friends, as well. A common theme: I'm excited to have Mark return the favor by standing beside me at my wedding.
Lindsey Taylor
Bridesmaid
Since 2017 Lindsey and I became close when we became roommates (awesome roommates at that!). Lindsey, thank you for always inspiring me to get in shape, become an Instagram influencer and of course for always taking my photos - where would I be without you?!
Colin Perry
Groomsman
Since 2008 Life has been a little more boring since Colin moved away after high school, but I'm glad we've been able to stay friends. We met as water-polo teammates – Colin was a freshman and I was a senior – and quickly bonded over many things, including sports and music. I've created more playlists and mixed CDs with Colin than anyone. Our Atlanta trips were also memorable, though we still never found The Varsity. If "Osceola" ever becomes a hit song, Colin will no doubt get some royalties.
Ryan Wagner
Groomsman
Since 2017 Growing up as an only child, I aways wanted a brother. Now, I'm getting one and couldn't be more excited. Hopefully, some of Ryan's cooking and tennis skills rub off on me.
Drew Davis
Groomsman
Since 2000 Drew is one of the strongest people I know. He has been through more than most people go through in a lifetime, and he's always been an inspiration. Also, Drew is a fun person to be around and has never met someone he didn't end up calling a friend. I'm glad I'm one of those people.
