Amy & Travis
Wedding Party
John Miller
Best Man
John (aka Millz) met Trav a long time ago when they were both just kids at Penfield High School. They both played football and excelled off the field at underachieving. After graduating, they decided to take their talents to St. John Fisher College, and the rest is history. Almost two decades later, Millz is truly surprised they made it this far without dying.
Sarah Hin
Maid of Honor
Who knew that one evening while attending a Jungle Sake Rave at RIT Amy and Sarah's lives would be forever changed?! That first summer together (& the years that followed) were filled with boat parties, crying on sidewalks, free drinks, unforgettable trips to Geneseo, 2 breakfasts, ice water chugging contests, line dancing, after-hours, limo buses, 21st birthdays spent passed out on lawns, and basically all the fun two crazy girls could have. As they've grown they have been there for each other through the good, the bad, and the questionable. Time together looks a little different now: hiking, road trips, surprise visits, new apartments & homes, jobs, and wedding planning! While the routine may have changed a little, the love, friendship, support, & crazy party girls have never left
Cetric Jackson
Groomsman
Travis and Cet met when they started a new job together over 10 years ago. They immediately became friends when they realized they both partied Thursday nights and had a ritual of coming in the following morning wearing the same outfit they went out in the night before. Their bond was unbreakable. They then both got enlisted and during that time Trav saved Cet's life... in the video game Call of Duty... but it counts and Cet is forever in Trav's debt. Cet is blessed to have a bro like Trav and his kids love their Uncle Travis. No one means more to Trav than Amy and Cet can't wait to watch them create the wonderful life they deserve together!
Christine Heerkens Akyalcin
Bridesmaid
Amy and Chrissy's story begins at the beginning - like, the very beginning. Neighbors from the start & born just 6 weeks apart, Amy and Chrissy were inseparable for years and experienced so many firsts, seconds, and "never agains" together! From before-and-after nap pictures, to before-and-after prom pictures, to now - wedding and baby bump pictures! - they are so lucky to have had each other and beyond blessed to be a part of each other's lives still to this day.
Andre Bliss
Groomsman
Travis and Dre met in college at St. John Fisher where they were on the football team together. They became fast friends, hanging out in the dorms and going out to parties. Trav and Dre also lived together and worked together after college. They did some wild things back then, but looking back those were some of Dre's favorite memories. Dre is so excited to be standing next to one of his best friends on the biggest day of his life.
Danielle MacNaughton
Bridesmaid
Amy and Danielle have been friends since 4th grade, and while they didn’t live in the same state for much time after high school, their friendship has endured the test of time. Through high school and college years, Amy and Danielle’s friendship revolved around typical teenage mischief: sneaking out to meetup in the church parking lot, providing each other alibis, and running away to Pennsylvania. While the wild years are over now, they still enjoy their mutual love of great books, true crime podcasts, and healthy food. While they don’t often see each other in person anymore, no matter the distance or time, Amy and Danielle’s friendship is one of a lifetime. Danielle is honored to be a part of Amy and Travis's special union and to be a part of the next chapter of Amy's life.
Kevin Poles
Groomsman
Travis and KP met at Penfield High School in 2006, where they played football together and were part of the revered "Black Captains." Travis and Kevin continued their friendship after high school while living in Rochester. Kevin now resides in Las Vegas where he teaches History and Government and is currently enrolled at UNLV.
Julie Debski
Bridesmaid
Amy and Julie met in Mrs. Urland’s 4th grade class and became fast friends. They remained close throughout their time at Victor Central Schools and beyond and Amy remains as one of Julie's oldest and closest friends. They have countless memories together, from movie nights in junior high, late nights at Pearl, to Julie (and Danielle's!) recent surprise trip to Denver. Julie is thrilled to be a part of Amy and Travis's special day and can't wait to see them tie the knot!
Adam Durst
Groomsman
Travis and Adam met freshman year at St. John Fisher, likely sipping on cheap vodka disguised as a cocktail with kool-aid packets and lime juice, while breaking bread over cheeseburgers from the McDonald's dollar menu, smothered in Big Mac sauce. Having a mutual understanding of all that was good in life, junior year Travis and Adam became roommates and co-founders of the establishment that became known as "K-House" and "K-House II," where all were welcome, no matter your gender, race, alcohol preference or ability to participate in combat sports. Travis and Adam have remained close friends ever since, going on 14 years strong
Rachael Record
Bridesmaid
Rachael & Amy (later nicknamed Sue & Lou) first met when they were babies. Their parents, aunts, & uncles had all been friends for so long that they were practically family. As they grew up, they bonded over being epic hide-and-seek partners, their love of euchre, & the ‘bowl’ hair cuts their mothers insisted upon giving them as kids. They spent many summers at Raquette Lake in the Adirondacks, where they were happiest eating egg-McRecords, swimming across the lake, reading Harry Potter with Aunt Mary, having Abba dance parties with Amy's mom, & dominating at euchre. They also survived regular occurrences of getting steam-rolled & being called toads from Rachael’s dad. Rachael now lives in San Diego with her husband, Courtney, and two dogs, where she continues to dominate at euchre.
Cody Rivers
Groomsman
Cody and Travis first met when Cody came home from the hospital 30 years ago to take Trav's spot as the baby of the family. Little did they know, Cody would be squished to the middle by their sister Lyndsey down the road. From run-ins with the police at the local high school for skateboarding as kids, to countless hours of videos games, to grease fires in the kitchen, one would say they had an interesting childhood. Despite his adolescent degeneracy Travis has grown into a very intellectual&highly motivating individual for Cody to strive to be. Regardless of what distance separates them, Travis will always be there to support Cody thru whatever life may throw at him. Cody is honored to be included in this special moment in Amy&Trav's life & can't wait to see what the future holds for them.
Nicole Ward
Bridesmaid
Nicole and Amy met 3 years ago when they were both working at a veterinary clinic in Denver. They quickly discovered that they had much more in common than just their obsession with dogs & became fast friends, bonding over kombucha, running, concerts, & organic cosmetic products (PSA - they're still working on finding a natural deodorant that actually works). After years of hearing crazy stories about their Rochester days Nicole is beyond excited to witness Amy and Travis in their New York environment and celebrate them!
Joseph DiSalvo
Groomsman
Joey met Travis at Empire Academy. They became friends while training together for their MMA fights. They've had some great sparring sessions and Joey will always attribute some of his forgetfulness and lost brain cell to Travis.
Lyndsey Rivers
Bridesmaid
Travis' baby sister!
