Wedding Party
Katy O’Connor
Maid of Honor
She’s not just my maid of honour, she’s my ride-or-die, my personal comedian, and basically the sister I got to choose (or who chose me and never left, honestly). She’s the kind of person who’s always up for anything — road trip? She’s already packed. Dance floor? She’s the first one on it. Weird challenge? She’s running toward it. She lives life full speed, tells it like it is, and somehow gives the best advice while making you laugh so hard you forget why you were crying in the first place. She’s more than a best friend, she’s family. She loves my people like they’re her own and has always shown up in the ways that matter most. Whether it’s staying up until 2 a.m. making jam and simple syrup or jumping in to help with whatever’s needed, she’s always the first to say yes. I trust her with everything, rely on her more than she probably knows, and admire how deeply and fearlessly she loves. What I adore most about her is how fully she embraces life. She’s big-hearted, all-in, and always finding joy in the little things. Her jokes are top tier, her heart is huge, and she somehow has a hidden talent for rapping that no one saw coming, but now we all accept as fact. And yes… she loves her chickens more than most people love their pets.
Alex O'Connor
Best Man
The Wild Man, Master Builder & 24/7 Ride-or-Die Alex is one of my closest friends and basically a human Swiss Army knife—always ready for anything. Hunting, fishing, building things out of nothing but a 2x4 and sheer willpower—he does it all. Seriously, he’s a master builder. If the zombie apocalypse hits, you want Alex on your team. He’ll build a cabin, catch dinner, and still have time to teach the zombies how to tie proper knots. But what really sets Alex apart is that he always shows up. Any hour, any day—no questions asked. I could call him at 3am needing help moving a couch, fixing something, or just needing someone to talk to, and he’d be there before I even finished explaining. He’s that kind of friend—the one you can always count on, no matter what. He loves the outdoors almost as much as he loves people—and trust me, he really loves people. He’s the kind of guy who’ll make friends with a raccoon, then offer it a beer and a place to crash. Whether we’re around a campfire swapping stories or getting completely lost with full confidence, Alex brings loyalty, energy, and the kind of presence that makes every memory better. I’m beyond lucky to have him standing beside me on the big day—just like he’s always done.
Kennedy Rodriguez
Bridesmaid
Kennedy has been by my side since the 7th grade and honestly, at this point, I can’t remember life without her. She’s one of my oldest and dearest friends, the person behind some of my most chaotic (and most hilarious) childhood memories, and the reason I get to claim the world’s cutest and funniest nephew. There was a time when I stayed with her for a while, and it turned into one of my favourite seasons — full of comfort, late-night garage chats, endless laughter, and shared clothes (thank you again for the closet privileges). We’re not the overly affectionate type, but the love runs deep. We just get each other: same humour, same brain, same unspoken understanding of when to talk and when to just pour a drink and vibe. We’ve always known how to have a good time, especially when we were younger, when that fun may or may not have involved suspiciously clinking tote bags and very subtle exits. And to this day, we still quote my dad’s pre-party speeches like they were scripture. She’s loyal in a way that’s rare, endlessly supportive, and the kind of person you’re just lucky to grow up alongside. She’s been part of every era of my life, and it means everything to have her standing beside me for this one.
Camryn Harper
Best Woman
My Partner in Crime & Dance Floor Destroyer She’s been my rock since the day she arrived—ready to keep me grounded, or at least keep me from totally losing it. We’ve laughed so hard we cried, cried so much we needed a laugh, and survived every weird, wild, and downright ridiculous moment life threw at us. From “remember when” stories no one else believes, to those secret looks that say, “Did you just see that?!” she’s been my go-to partner in crime for all things hilarious and questionable. I admire how she always puts her own spin on everything—whether it’s turning a simple family dinner into a full-on comedy show or adding flair to the most mundane things (yes, even grocery shopping). And seriously, if there was a world championship for tearing up the dance floor, she’d win gold every time. She’s a machine—spinning, jumping, and breaking it down like she’s got zero cares. She’s the life of every party and the one person I know I can always count on—whether it’s for a ridiculous prank, a last-minute emergency rescue, or just an epic karaoke duet (which, honestly, the world isn’t ready for). Having her stand with me on this day means having my lifelong partner in crime, my personal hype squad, and the best dance partner I could ever ask for—just try to keep up!
Micaela Harley
Bridesmaid
Micaela is one of those rare friends who came into my life in high school and quickly became someone I didn’t realize I needed and now I honestly can’t imagine my life without her. She’s been my soundboard, my voice of reason, and a quiet place to land when life gets too loud. She listens with her whole heart and never expects anything in return and somehow always knows when to give advice, when to hold space, and when to offer just the right words that shift everything. She’s one of the few people in my life who just truly gets me, no explanations needed. We’ve grown up together and grown into ourselves together. And even now, in our adult lives, somehow every moment with her still carries the same magic, nostalgia, and electricity as it did when we were young — just with slightly better choices and much better wine. She’s sharp, quick-witted, and outrageously funny. She's the kind of person who keeps you laughing with bold one-liners and perfectly timed sass, all while hyping you up like you’re about to win a UFC match and a Nobel Prize. Her energy is contagious, her support is unmatched and having her by my side means everything.
Devon Lane
Groomsman
My Co-Pilot Through Chaos, Cocktails & Startups Devon has been one of my closest friends and roommate for as long as I can remember. Honestly, at this point, we’re more like an old married couple—minus the matching robes (although… give it time). We've been through it all together: from slinging cocktails behind the bar, to surviving the pandemic locked in our apartment without killing each other, to launching our own business from scratch. If there’s a milestone in my life, odds are Devon was right there next to me—probably with a beer in hand and a hot take ready. He’s the guy who always has my back and never backs down, no matter what. Whether it’s 2am crisis talks or 10am business meetings after zero sleep, he shows up and gives it his all. He’s loyal to the core, funny in the way that makes your face hurt, and somehow both ridiculously charming and convinced he's right 100% of the time (he’ll argue 110%). Devon loves to party, loves cracking beers with the boys, and has impeccable taste in music—just ask him, he’ll tell you. Twice. But beyond all the fun, he's a rock-solid friend, someone I trust with everything and genuinely wouldn’t be here without. Having Devon stand beside me on this day just makes sense—we’ve already survived life together, so a wedding’s just another great chapter.
Jessica Fisher
Bridesmaid
Jessica came into my life during high school, and from the start she’s been the kind of friend who just radiates warmth. She’s the one who reminds you of sunshine, the kind of person whose energy lights up a room and somehow always makes everything feel a little better, just by being there. She loves big, with her whole heart, and I’m so lucky to be loved by her. She’s a wild child in the best possible way — the friend I can dance on tabletops with, scream-sing our favorite songs in the middle of public, and match energy with until our cheeks hurt from laughing. She hypes everyone up, makes you feel beautiful from the inside out, and never runs out of love to give. Whether it’s a spontaneous adventure or a deep life talk, she’s all in. One of the things I love most about her is how deeply rooted she is. Her loyalty runs deep, and her love for her family is something I admire endlessly. She shows up, she gives her all, and she cares with everything she’s got. She’s adventurous, compassionate, full of light, and one of the most beautiful souls I know. I’ll never stop being grateful that she let me in and chose me as one of her people.
Samuel St-Jacques
Groomsman
The Artist, the Empath, the Big-Hearted Soul Sam wears his heart on his sleeve—and that’s just the beginning of what makes him so special. His love for all living things is boundless, and nowhere is that more clear than in how deeply he cares for his dogs and his fiancé. His love isn’t just words—it’s a living example of kindness, patience, and loyalty. Simply put, Sam is a true lover of life and people. Beyond his big heart, Sam is incredibly gifted. His artistic talent is nothing short of unimaginable—he has this rare ability to turn raw emotion into breathtaking art that speaks to the soul. But what makes him even more remarkable is that his creativity is matched by the way he treats others. He’s not only an incredible artist, he’s an incredible friend. Sam always puts others first, and when it comes to the people he loves, there are no limits. He shows up in ways that matter, whether that’s offering support, sharing a laugh, or simply being present. The lengths he’ll go to for those he cares about are truly inspiring. Having Sam standing with me on this day means having someone with a rare combination of talent, kindness, and unwavering loyalty by my side—a friend whose heart is as big as his talent, and whose friendship I value more than words can say.
Kayliegh Lacovitti
Bridesmaid
Kayliegh is my big sister, which means she’s been putting up with me the longest, whether she asked for it or not. I don’t remember every detail of our childhood, but I do remember how much I loved annoying her and her friends (who, let’s be honest, adored me), and how shamelessly I used that power just to rub it in. The little sister agenda was strong. But somewhere between teasing her and stealing her clothes, we grew up. And now she’s one of the first people I turn to when life gets messy. She’s the calm in my chaos, the one who listens without judgment, and the person who somehow always knows exactly what to say — whether I need a pep talk, a sister talk, or a little dose of tough love. Her voice carries strength, and she uses it to protect the people she loves. With her, I always feel safe, supported, and never alone. She’s got all the classic big sister traits, sure, but what I love most is that she never makes me feel like the little sister. She meets me right where I’m at, and I’m so grateful for everything she is — always. I stood by her side on her wedding day, and now having her by mine feels like one of those quietly perfect full-circle moments.
Jase Corbet
Groomsman
The Tech Wizard, Gaming Pro & Cigar Connoisseur-in-Training My little brother-in-law is nothing short of a tech wizard and an incredible video game player—seriously, the kid has skills that could probably hack into the Matrix (or at least dominate any leaderboard). When he’s not crushing the virtual world, he’s out fishing or capturing moments behind the camera with a photographer’s eye. But don’t let all that fool you—his real claim to fame is his impeccable taste in cigars. No, he’s not smoking them yet (don’t worry, we’re holding him to that), but so far he hasn’t steered me wrong once. If his cigar choices are anything to go by, the kid’s future as a connoisseur is bright. And as if that wasn’t impressive enough, his palate is on another level—this kid’s taste for steak and cheese could rival a 5-star chef. Seriously, the only thing better than his cigar game is his culinary taste. He’s got style, skill, and a sharp eye for the finer things—and I’m lucky to have him as part of the family.
Gillian Corbet
Bridesmaid
Having Gillian as a younger sister is basically like having a twin — just one with her own closet, her own opinions (that usually match mine), and an endless supply of hair accessories I somehow end up borrowing. She’s always on my team, always ready to hype me up, and we’ve shared just about everything over the years. That includes a home, way too many inside jokes, and an ongoing collection of her feet pics that mysteriously appear on my camera roll. (I could probably make a daily calendar. I wish I was kidding.) She’s hilarious in that lowkey, sharp kind of way, and somehow manages to stay chill in moments I’d absolutely be losing it. She’s also one of the most thoughtful people I know. She's always crafting the sweetest homemade gifts and throwing herself into every project with so much love. And her cats? Let’s just say if she could’ve given birth to them, she probably would’ve. They’re lucky, honestly. One of my favourite things, though, is how deeply she loves the people I love — especially Colton. Having her by my side means having a teammate, a built-in best friend, and the one person who can match my stubborn energy and make me laugh through literally anything.
Connor Lalonde
Groomsman
The Grill Master Dad Connor and I have been friends since we were 12, which means we’ve seen each other through awkward phases, bad haircuts, and enough questionable decisions to last a lifetime. These days, he’s a proud new dad—raising a tiny human by day and smoking enough meat to feed a small village by night. He’s a true pitmaster, and if you make the mistake of asking about his smoker or spice blends, clear your schedule—you’re in for a TED Talk with samples. The only thing he loves as much as perfectly cooked ribs is hockey. Fantasy hockey? He’ll help you win your league. Real hockey? He’s yelling at the refs through the TV like they can hear him. Dancing? Not exactly his sport. But toss him a bean bag and a beer, and you’ll witness a cornhole performance worthy of a standing ovation. If you need a laugh, a plate of smoked meat, or a last-minute fantasy trade tip—Connor’s your guy
