Julimar Warner
Maid of Honor
Julimar is my cousin and built in best friend! We have grown up together and gone through all stages of life together. These days it seems like if you see me or Julimar the other one isn't far behind :) She is so kind but also fierce it can be infectious! We have been through up's and down's but that's the true test of our friendship outside of being family as well! Julimar works for Liberty Mutual, and shares in my hobby of coloring which is a favorite activity for us :) I am so grateful and excited for her to be my right hand woman on my special day!
Jacob Ross
Best Man
Jacob is my big brother. :) I chose him to be my best man because he's one of my best friends and has been there for me my whole life. Through all of these moments, Jacob has constantly been a positive influence in my life. From picking me up at daycare and singing every word of Bob Marley the whole way home. To even recently, finding out he is the main influence to why I love the Karate kid. Most of all, He has taught me how to be strong when I feel my weakest, and he has taught me the importance of treating every person I encounter in life with love and respect. My big brother is a God Loving, die hard Georgia Bull Dawg fan, and he loves anything to do with being out on his boat with his loved ones. He lives right outside of Augusta, Georgia with his newly-wedded wife Ashley and their princess pup Gauge. I couldn't be more grateful to have him standing next to me on our wedding day
Becca Snyder
Bridesmaid
Becca and I met in the most unlikely circumstances and slowly she because one of the most important people in my life! I have never met someone so kind and positive, but she also has that fun wild side that is always an important balance for me. She use to live in Colorado and some of my favorite trips were going to visit her and see the beautiful scenery that Colorado has to offer! Becca is back in Florida and thank goodness! She has a leadership role at Chick-fil-a and she's mom to two cats so we share the love for our cats in common too.
Paul Collins
Groomsman
Paul and I have known each other since the 6th grade. I met Paul while at a sleepover at his neighbors house and the rest has been history. We went to highschool together where we became much closer and then moved to Orlando with another close friend to pursue our love of music. Who would have known through the circumstances of life and fate that both of us would also find the love of our lives here in Orlando Florida. I’m very proud to say that Paul is now happily married to his wonderful wife Haley and they live here in Orlando. Paul is currently training as a mixed martial arts fighter and serves weekly at his church. Having paul as a brother in Christ and communing with him about our relationships with God is one of the gifts I value most in life. I’m so grateful to have him standing next to me on our special day.
Juliana Janer
Bridesmaid
I met Juliana through my cousin Curtis, cause she is his girlfriend!! From the moment Curtis would bring Juliana around the family I knew I liked this girl! I've known her for three years now and that time has flown by! Juliana was born in Bogota, Colombia and she is a Paralegal/legal Assistant and just started at a new firm. She is also going to school right now for her AA degree and pursuing a BS in Economics, she's got the beauty and the brains!! Juliana is my type A girlie and is always organized and planned, but she's also so adventurous and determined. She has attempted a few times to help me learn Spanish but sometimes I think I am a hopeless case. She sends me amazing Spanish song recommendations and you guessed it.....she's a cat mom too!
Khadary Hawthorne
Groomsman
Khadary is my longest friend and one of my best friends in the world. We met in the 4th grade at recess and once again, the rest is history. After Highschool, Khadary moved down to Orlando first, then Paul and I moved shortly after to all pursue our passions in music. Khadary and I are also probably the most alike; Which has presented its own challenges but it’s also given me a best friend that understands me without speaking a word. Above all, it’s given me a brother for life that I can always count on to be there and vice versa. Khadary currently lives a bachelor lifestyle living in Costa Rica. He went there for a music festival and never came back. (Just kidding but not really lol) He is soaking up the opportunities that another culture while still pursuing his passion in music and entrepreneurship. I’m so thankful all these years later, to still have him right by my side on my special day.
Annaliese Poliner
Bridesmaid
Annaliese and I have been friends for ten years!!! We met playing water polo in high school. She did go to a different high school in the area but would come to my school during the off season and play with us. Then from there we started to hang out all the time and here we are today! Annaliese went to UGA for Landscape architecture. She moved to Nashville for a little while and is back in Florida before before she leaves for her next adventure! Annaliese is a free spirit, traveling all over the world and that shows with her going to Israel, Mexico, and so much more! I've also seen her come out of her shell so much over the years and I love to see her thriving and finding what she really wants to do!
Cam Blakley
Groomsman
I first met Cam when we were Highschool. We were involved in two totally different sports. But I believe that we were both so outgoing that we naturally Gravitated towards each other. We started out as being good friends, having fun in highs school, and going to music shows together. Coming out of school we developed a much deeper relationship that stands true today. I can say with all of mine, that Cam has one of the biggest and most genuine hearts that I’ve ever met. He’s so authentically himself and I love him unconditionally for it. Cam now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina where he is currently working in Roofing and constantly waiting for the next show or life experience. I’m so thankful to have him as a best friend and next to me on my day.
Serena Rizk
Bridesmaid
I actually met Serena through Becca! They met in Colorado, and on one of our trips there I met Serena and just loved her energy! Serena still lives in Denver, CO with her fiancé Christian and two dogs. She works at Bulow Jewelers as a diamond and design expert, and is also the company's social media manager! Serena actually worked with Lee to help design and create my engagement ring! My favorite way to describe her is that she is the perfect girls girl, and always hypes me up:)
Cody Johnson
Groomsman
Cody is like our little brother. He’s actually only around two years younger than us, but we would all do anything to protect him and we love him unconditionally. I met Cody when he was a freshman. Khadary, paul and actually introduced me to Cody in gym class. From then on, some of our best days and nights in highschool were spent at Cody’s house. Cody is one of the best people I’ve ever seen with a golf club. Hey currently lives in Statham Georgia and has just started an epoxy business with our friend Chase. Cody one of the truest friends I have and we’ll always be there for each other. I’m so thankful to have him standing by my side.
Griselle Bowman
Bridesmaid
I met Griselle through my cousin Ian, and they got married in 2022. Over the past few years I've got to see who she really is which is one of the sweetest people, she makes her people feel so loved and heard! Some of my favorite things about Griselle is her sense of style and her sense of self, she is so grounded and true to herself it's inspiring! Griselle and Ian live in Ocoee, FL and she is on maternity leave now for their first baby! It is so beautiful to watch her blossom into this maternal role and I can't wait to see her in her element.
Robb Thomas
Groomsman
Rob was the very first person I met here in Orlando, Florida. He was Khadary’s upstairs neighbor and I met him the very first time I came to Orlando to visit. Khadary befriended him first but when the resort of us met him it felt like he belonged the whole time. Fast forward 11 years later and we’re still best friends today. You know he’s a good friend when he’s not even from my hometown, but his friendship has so genuine and honest that it reminds me of my home while I’ve been away. Rob currently lives in Orlando, Fl and is really passionate about Comedy. He is without a doubt one of the funniest people I know, but he’s also one of the most genuine good hearted people I’ve ever met. I’m so grateful to have him standing next to me on our special day.
Bob and Kris Brouillard
Parents of the Bride
My parents met in 1984 they both worked at the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper. Three years later they got married, eleven years and many adventures later they had me! My parents are my biggest support system outside of Lee. My dad was always the one to help with homework and helped me every step of the way in my education. He also took a few college classes with me! My dad is one of the smartest people I have ever met. Which makes him the person I always go to for advice on almost everything! I get a lot of my humor from my dad! He instilled in me a great taste in music, classic movies, and one of my best skills which is cooking! My mom was the leader for the Girl Scout troop I was in for about 6 years. We would butt heads a lot growing up, and as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that it was because we were so similar in our personalities and today those similarities are what make us to close to each other! My mom is the strongest woman I know, she is always so positive and encouraging to everyone in her life! Both of my parents are retired now! My dad has dove further into his hobbies, especially woodworking and making beautiful handcrafted masterpieces, which you can find displayed all over our apartment! Mom has been discovering different hobbies she enjoys and traveling with dad all over the place! It makes a working girl jealous! Both of my parents deserve all of the happiness in the world and to reap the rewards of working so hard their entire life! I love you both :)
Connie Ross
Mother of the Groom
My mom is the best mom. :) The older I get, the more I learn I’ll never be able to fully understand how much a mom truly does. She’s always been there for me. Every football/baseball practice, every game, every band practice, every concert, Every high, and every low. She’s Loved me, protected me, encouraged me, guided me, and has shown me what a real relationship with Jesus Christ looks like. She let me make mistakes and fall so I could learn, and then was right there to pick me up and teach me how to keep going. My mom’s work ethic, faith, selflessness, and her heart for people(especially her family) are the qualities I’m most proud to have gained from her. My mom has showed me by example the kind of woman I should look for in a wife and I’m so thankful it has lead me to the love of my life.
