Wedding Party
Chris Smith
Best Man
Chris has often been referred to as Pat's "Life Partner". They met in college, and shortly after graduating, started a renovations business together. They have worked, lived, flipped houses, traveled, partied, and even got matching butt tattoos together. Today they are thankfully living in separate houses, but can still be found spending an evening at a local watering hole.
Jessica Diguer
Maid of Honor
Maid of Honour and sister to Marisa. Though Marisa and Jessica used to fight constantly as kids, they have grown a lot closer with age and maturity (well sometimes mature). They are so similar and have so much in common, like watching every episode of the Office (multiple times..), being in nature, eating poutine and not taking life too seriously.
Brandon Muldoon
Groomsman
Brandon is Pat's older brother. You wouldn't guess it just by looking at him. He's taller, thinner, and actually needs to pay for haircuts. Growing up, Brandon would trick his gullible younger siblings into just about anything, practicing his sales tactics from a young age. Brandon is incredibly thoughtful and generous and always happy to share his wealth of knowledge. If you want to learn something new, strike up a conversation with him!
Kelsey Muldoon
Bridesmaid
Soon to be sister-in-law to Marisa. There were high expectations before meeting Kelsey because everyone said so many amazing things about her, she definitely did not disappoint! Kelsey is incredibly kind-hearted, sweet, funny and always knows how to have a great time. No doubt you will see Kelsey shedding a few tears at the wedding.. or many! Make sure she is supplied with Kleenex at all times ;)
Brendan Davie
Groomsman
Brendan was a bit of late bloomer in high school, not physically though, his tall frame and flawless physique (his words...) led him to play high level hockey. Brendan's talents and cat-like reflexes allowed him to also excel at most drinking games, or pick up any sport with the boys. He's one of those pals that was always first in line to help move a couch, even if it meant an allergy attack. If you see him at the wedding, I wouldn't challenge him to anything obscure. (Ps. He will probably be the guy with ripped slacks on the dance floor too..)
Acacia Kelly
Bridesmaid
Acacia is a long-time friend to Marisa (Since grade 4!). Acacia and Marisa grew up like sisters together, each one practically an adopted sibling to the others family. Acacia is so generous and always there when you need her - no matter what! Her fiery passion matches her red hair, which certainly stands out. Acacia has a close touch to both Pat and Mar, helping with initially convincing Marisa that Pat was a suitable person for her.
Patrick Kehoe
Groomsman
Paddy (Kehoe) and Patty (Muldoon) share much more than just the same Irish name as one another. They met in grade 9 and sat beside each other any chance they could in school, where they were quickly referred to as 'the Pats'. Paddy's jovial smile and contagious giggle will definitely put you in a good mood. Paddy is your ideal partner at Trivia night and is Pats unbiased favourite musician. You can catch Paddy playing some guitar at the ceremony while his dad Tim will be the officiant marrying us. Sorry ladies, he's taken!
Kali MacAdam
Bridesmaid
Marisa and Kali met in their early teens at middle school. This wasn't your typical start to a long friendship... Kali heard tales of Marisa's, let say, weird personality and was wary at first, but soon loosened up to Mar's quirky tendencies. They quickly became close friends and even made great travel partners, touring around East-Asia together. Kali is everything you'd want in a travel partner and friend - confident, thoughtful, open minded and just as bad at directions as Marisa.
Peter Vallee
Groomsman
Patrick admired Peter when they met as young teens, as he was the first person with an iPod, had his own separate landline phone when they were in grade 9, and always a couple pizza pockets in the freezer. Patrick and Peter became closer as they played hockey together and hungout on the weekends. Peter is one of those friends that everyone gravitates towards, will always be there for you, and stick up for what he believes in. Just make sure your not the one that crosses him during a game of Risk, or Catan... Peter's wittiness and ability to read a room make him a perfect MC for the wedding!
Irene Zourdos
Bridesmaid
Irene and Marisa have been friends since their early teens. Irene's easy going personality and light hearted humour makes it easy for anyone to get along with her. If you need to vent or have a good laugh after a tough day, Irene is the person to go to. She recently moved to New York City, but every time she comes back to Ottawa, it's as if she never left (probably because she seems to come home like once a month..). Irene will have no problem introducing herself to you at the wedding :)
Everett Stitt
Groomsman
Patrick first met Everett when he was 8 years old, and was one of his first friends when he moved to Ottawa. Everett knows how to bring light to a room, whether it's his witty sense of humour, infectious laugh, or getting spontaneously injured. Getting injured may not have been intentional, but was still a memorable part of growing up. Everett always has a full repertoire of random facts and funny gifs to share, which along with his Teacher skills, make him a perfect MC for the wedding, alongside Peter!
Julia Stitt
Bridesmaid
Julia is great friend to both Marisa and Patrick. Marisa met Julia around the same time as Pat, playing for their co-ed softball team. They became instant friends! Julia has a bubbly personality and a smile everyone gravitates towards. She is incredibly thoughtful, generous and loves to get the party going, especially if you're in need of a good rally! You can definitely find her grooving on the dance floor at the wedding, just don't buy her a shot, or you'll be taking two!
Laura Le
Bridesmaid
Laura is a long-time friend to Marisa, since elementary school. Laura grew up just a few doors down from Marisa, flourishing their friendship further. Laura is an incredibly artistic and talented person! Growing up, she filmed/edited their amazing home videos every day after school.. Her even keel, easy going personality allows for her to hang out with a wide range of groups. Laura has a soft soul and can chat the night away with you or throw on her dancing shoes and party all night! Beware though, don't challenge this one to a dance off, the "ShuffleQueen" will surely win!
