Patrick & Heather
Wedding Party
Rorie Storm
Flower Girl
The most important little lady to us, our only daughter. Often referred to as Rockstar Rorie. Rorie Storm doesn't just serve as a flower girl but also her mama's favorite girl. She is a gifted percussionist and singer. She is the sweetest, most caring and lovable little human. She makes every day so much better.
Ashley Robla
Matron of Honor
Ashley has played a key role in my life for over the last decade. She is my sister-in-law, married to my older brother, Jonathan. Her position as Jonathan's wife, raising his miniature little men is not for the weak. Truthfully, I wasn't sure about Ashley when I first met her. I'm actually guilty of sending my brother a message on his wedding day telling him it's okay to back out if he wants. Oops. boy, I was wrong. It didn't take me long to love Ashley as my sister. What better gift to have than a sister? Like most sisters, we never fail to tell each other how it is but know we will always be able to count on each other. She was my first sister. If Ashley is in your corner, you are blessed. I can't imagine having anyone else, we're so happy she is playing a significant role in our wedding. I value her more than she knows.
McKenzie Kimble
Bridesmaid
Mckenzie is married to my younger brother, Jordan. I couldn't figure out why Mckenzie wouldn't talk to me at first but apparently, she was a little afraid of me. I didn't think I was that intimidating of an older sister. She is a lover of crocs, dunkin' donuts and her babies. She's doesn't get nearly enough praise for juggling working full time and being the best mama to our beautiful nieces-- all while her husband works out of town all week. McKenzie is resilient and one of the strongest women I know. She keeps her wine fridge full. She is always down to host a game night and pour a glass. I'm lucky to have her on my side as my sister.
Alysse Wright
Bridesmaid
My good Ol' friend Alysse. She's the keeper of my secrets and always offers an ear when I need it most. Last to judge, she is someone I have always been able to count on. She has been by my side through all my family tragedies and some of my hardest mom moments to date. We never lack in laughter or fun and usually have a story to remember. She always shows up for people she loves. Her heart is the biggest. She's beautiful inside and out.
Rachel Lapoint
Bridesmaid
Introducing my go to girl, Rachel. She is always up for a night in with taco bell and sweatpants or a girl's night out. Prior to seeing Patrick, she never let me go to a restaurant and eat steak alone. Apparently, it makes you look sad. You'll find her playing in as many golf leagues and tournaments as possible. As for her social life? It's pretty impressive. She has a questionable love for Halloween. She hosts the best Halloween garage parties. How many houses have you trick er treated at where you are handed a beer and your kids are handed candy? I gladly serve as her lawn girl (She keeps her garage fridge stocked.) Our kids refer to her as "Aunt Rach." Her friendship has meant the world to me.
Whitney McRobbie
Bridesmaid
My whiskey girl. Whitney is a treasured friend to me but she was instantly more like family. Our first days were spent poor, sharing whatever food we found and practicing our independence. I've always been able to call on her when I need help whether it's putting an exterior door back on, advice on how to handle situations with my children (school psychologist), showing up when I close on a fixer upper--ready to work, a melt down or for anything fun where I need a partner in crime. Everyone should have a Whitney.
Katie Corbine
Bridesmaid
Patrick's oldest sister, Katie. Savior of any stray animal. Ask Katie how many pets she has! They couldn't be any luckier to have crossed paths with her. Although she serves as a U.S. Border Patrol agent, her second calling is mixologist. You won't find a better margarita or beverage than what Katie makes. Due to her living in southern Texas, we aren't lucky enough to see her or enjoy her beverages nearly enough. Katie is so special to us. I'm thrilled to gain her as another sister.
Kelley Corbine
Bridesmaid
Kelley is Patrick's younger sister. I've never met someone so dedicated to her work outs, even if her prework out at times is chips or chicken tenders. If a situation gets weird or uncomfortable, you'll hear Kelley break the ice with an uncomfortably loud hollar of "What's your favorite dessert?" Although Kelley's career is Regional Fire Ecologist, you can often find her enjoying every bit of nature hiking, traveling, baking the best desserts or facetiming her favorite pets & people. We are super proud of her accomplishments. I'm glad to have gained another sister. There is no question whether she loves her family.
Bryan Zeller
Best Man
It's an honor to introduce, Bryan- Patrick's childhood best friend. They just get each other. If you've ever heard a phone conversation between the two of them, you'll feel a little bit confused. Somehow with very little words said, they both understand it. Bryan is a collector of fine whiskey, top fan of UFC, fantasy football, Jreck subs, and the Cantina. I remember in high school Bryan and Patrick spending more time together than apart.
Garrett Sharp
Groomsman
Patrick's childhood friend, Garrett. Garrett and Patrick love each other so much, they decided to have baby boys 4 days apart. My favorite Garrett/Patrick story is their first day in France on a school trip getting expelled together. Garrett pulled a chair out from under Patrick. You can imagine how bummed they were to spend the reminder of their trip not at school and doing all the things they weren't supposed to be doing. Not only did they have every class together in high school but every college class too. They also played college lacrosse together. Often you could find the two of them skipping class to hunt or to enjoy tomato soup and a tuna fish sandwich at Garrett's grandparents together.
Owen Ames
Groomsman
Our oldest child, often called the golden child, nick named Dale Doeback. Owen has been my number one guy since I was 19 years old. As Owen's mother I can honestly say, he's taught me as much as I've taught him. I remember feeling worried I was too young to be a good mom but somehow, he couldn't have turned out any better in my eyes. Owen puts his heart and soul into everything he does. He makes me so proud. I've never met a more compassionate, empathetic and motivated kid.
Jordan Kimble
Groomsman
Jordy--Heather's younger brother. Breaks pretty much everything he touches. The most honest speaker of the family but also the first to show up when anyone needs help. Lover of Peach Busch lite, full sending things and his family. He still thinks it's appropriate to drag me around the house by my feet. He almost always makes me and usually a child cry during what's supposed to be friendly game of kick ball or two touch football. We joke that we are the family screw ups because Jonathan's most definitely the favorite child and number 1. Over the years, we've leaned on each other quite a bit and I know without a doubt If I had one call for help, it would be to him.
Jonathan Robla
Groomsman
Heather's older brother, Jonathan AKA Skippy Boo Boo. You can find him on the St. Lawrence River bass fishing, the golf course, hunting or playing farmer on his land as much as possible. The dreamer of the family and somehow he makes it a reality. He is one of the luckiest people. He's won more than 40 guns on raffles alone. In fact, If you catch yourself admiring his guns in front of his wife and you ask him about them, he'll tell you he's always had it or won it on a raffle. Ha! but seriously, he's really won over 40 guns. Jonathan may appear a tough guy but he has the softest heart. Don't tell him I told you but anytime I've cried, he's teared up too. He always been able to tell when somethings wrong and reads me like a book. He's a lover of his family and no amount of chaos really seems to affect him. He's never been known to say no to an extra kid tagging along. Jonathan has been a constant support in my adult life. I won't give him credit for our youth because truthfully, he didn't even like me back then.
Robert Perez
Groomsman
Our broken Mexican, Katie's other half. Robert is the king of welding. We don't get to see Robert as often as we'd like but we can always count on a good laugh, some honest words and his contagious smile. He also makes some killer tacos. I once told someone new to the family that expressed that they were nervous to meet extended family, "Don't worry, just let Robert talk to them first. He can talk to anyone. You'll be fine." We're glad he's not just Katie's handy man anymore and happy to claim him as part of our family.
Daniel Corbine
Ring Bearer
Danny is our love baby and the youngest. You might notice he looks quite a bit like his daddy but acts more like his mama. In our eyes, he's the most perfect boy and we are so blessed to be his parents.
James Thomas & Jennifer Thomas
Bonus father and Mother to the Bride
Papa Jimmy & Nana or also known as Mr. & Mrs. fix it. These two can be found tackling any task their children toss their way. You'll rarely catch them not working. They are selfless. I can count on a minimum of one phone call a day checking in and happy to listen from my mom. You can bet if I miss that call and don't call back within an hour, she's already called for a wellness check. Since we are both control freaks at work, you can find us bickering our way through a job successfully. They are extremely gifted, and we can't wait to see their work put together designing our wedding. We know we can always count on them to lend a helping hand, encourage or support us. We appreciate all they have done to make our wedding day perfect.
John Robla & Susan Robla
Father and bonus Mother to the Bride
The most loyal groupies. From bar hopping to hear their favorite bands play to juggling all their grandchildren's sporting events & concerts, you'll find them showing up. Sue sold herself to the family with her fruit platters and bon bons. Together they are notoriously late, but they almost always show up. Biggest weakness-- saying no to their grandchildren. I wasn't sure there was a perfect person out there for my dad until Sue. They make quite a perfect pair.
George and Theresa Corbine
Father and Mother of the Groom
Mimi and Grandpy are definitely fan favorites. Since day one, they have treated us as family. Mimi is guilty of thinking her grandchildren lack things. We can always count on her for the most delicious meals, sometimes door step delivered and constant packages of clothes for her grandbaby. Grandpy is the keeper of peppermint patties (since they are dark chocolate-"they are good for you") and ice-cream treats. His lap is Danny's favorite seat to watch a football or hockey game. They provide our family constant support, love and wisdom. I personally feel I hit the jackpot when it comes to In-laws, the wine at family dinner is just a bonus. Our perfect wedding day wouldn't be possible without them.
