Maid of Honor
I met Hana through the FUS swim team and became friends quickly. Despite never actually being my roommate, she lived with me for a week in my dorm room when we both got Covid. I appreciate how kind and funny Hana is--she always make everyone smile!
Best Man
The brother who went through it with me. From youth groups, sports, work, a summer away from family, a trip to North Carolina, Todd, and so much more. Peter and I have been through a lot, fought through a lot, stressed through a lot, and laughed through a lot.
Bridesmaid
The fiancée of my older brother, Luke. They are getting married just a month after us! I am so excited to have an older sister! Jessie is so fun to be around and is super chill, which is necessary in my crazy family, a great example of love and gentleness.
Groomsman
Ian has been a steady acquaintance since sophomore Fall, who has grown into friend, and is someone whose insight I deeply value. Ian is another young, but old soul, who has helped form me, even just by his example. (Ian is also the second DeNome to be in a Free wedding).
Bridesmaid
Gus's youngest sister, whose love language is physical touch like me, is always down to give me a hug or sit by me on the couch. Mia is so cheerful and full of energy, reminding me to choose to be joyful!
Groomsman
Johnny was, and is, a huge influence on me, and helped guide me through very formative years of life, including high school, and early college years. He never deemed himself too great to make a positive impact on my life :)
Bridesmaid
Genna is Gus’ second youngest sister, the sister who brings the peace to the chaos of the large family. Though she drives me a lil' crazy when we disagree on what movie to watch, she amazes me with her dedication to the Lord and to her siblings.
Groomsman
My oldest brother, the example Joe sets of being a good husband and father is one I value deeply. I've loved having Joe in the area, besides having another brother in the area, its been nice to beat at least one family member in ping pong ;)
Bridesmaid
I have known Katherine since middle school, when we did Irish dance together. She is so good at loving the person in front of her, whether her family or her friends, and giving them her full attention. She is always willing to talk about books and movies with me!
Groomsman
Probably the classiest of us all, I have the privilege of having introduced Danny to a lot of the music he likes now. The talk of Steubenville, Danny is too cool for school, but doesn't act like it, and thats one of the main things I love about him.
Bridesmaid
Ever since Lucy was born, I have had my partner in crime, my baking buddy, someone to paint nails with, and someone to pass along my love of books to. She has turned into such a beautiful and empathetic young woman who loves my whole family so well.
Groomsman
A true gentleman, and one of the most caring older brothers ever, Seamus is an awesome individual, and one I love hanging out with. Many a game of Destiny would ne'er have been played without Seamus.
Bridesmaid
I dorkily asked Ellie to play a Pride & Prejudice game with me our freshman year and we've been friends since. She is so thoughtful and hardworking, gives great advice, and is always honest about life. She's getting married in the Fall and I'm so excited for her!
Groomsman
Jacob is gentleness and humility embodied. A true image of St. Joseph in the modern world, and one of the primary reasons I joined my household at Franciscan. Solemnness and joy (like Christmas) meet in Jacob, and he brings a wholesome happiness wherever he goes.
Bridesmaid
Gus’ cousin and my friend with the curliest hair. She always makes me laugh and is shockingly good at making pies. I have had the privilege of working with her as a Resident Assistant for the past two years and she brings so much life and fun to the dorm!
Groomsman
Dom, my fifth-cousin-twice-in-law, was a wonderful surprise my junior Fall, which was a trying semester for Sarah and I. Dom is always ready to listen, and to build you up, and loves Colorado almost as much as he loves North Carolina ;)
Junior Bridesmaid
Sophia is my youngest sister and my goddaughter. I admit to spoiling her, but I think (if my whole family was being honest) we all do. She is surprisingly very serious at times and has made me more in love with my Faith because of being her godmother and helping her to prepare for her First Confession & Communion.
Junior Groomsman
James is the surprise bonus brother we all got 7 years ago, and we are all very glad to have him. Cooler than most of ever will be, James talks more intellectually than most of us did when we were 13. He's growing up fast, and I love getting another chance to teach someone about games and baseball and life. Very proud of our Jimbob McGufferson ;) Can't wait to finally be shorter than someone in the family... catch me if you can Jimmy...
