Theo & Victoria
Wedding Party
Theo Camara
Groom
Theo's kindness and overall selflessness/generosity drew Victoria to him at first, and continues to amaze her still. Theo is a talented musician, a huge extrovert, and could be labeled as a "class clown" at times, although he's also a deep-thinker and a total romantic (which he'll deny). He loves to make puns and bring joy and laughter to those he is around, and he's extremely loyal and protective of his loved ones. His love for God is evident through his many selfless acts and the love he spreads to all those around him. Although he's both a Red Sox and Patriots fan (EW), Victoria still considers it a blessing that God has given her Theo to spend forever with! (Written by Victoria) <3
Victoria Burley
Bride
Victoria is the most amazing woman Theo has ever met! She loves nature, she loves others, she loves dogs, and she loves him! But most of all, she loves God above them all. Theo was amazed to find such an amazing girl who was in love with him too! Victoria hopes to someday be a motivational speaker, although she is content working in ministry as long as she is able to! She has a heart for Children's ministry, and uses that in her work with kids wherever that may be! She may want more kids than Theo, and she may not be a fan of his driving or his questionable choices of procrastination, but she is perfect for him in every way! Well, almost every way.... Now if only she was a Red Sox fan! (Written by Theo) <3
Mat Triplett
Best Man
Mat is one of Theo's closest friends. He is one of the "Bros" and can always be trusted to have already seen the latest movie that just came out. He aspires to someday be a famous writer, but for now, is going to school to get his B.A. in Psychology. You'll be able to hear some of Mat's speech writing skills at the reception! Mat is a kind hearted nerd, and can always be trusted when it comes to deep conversations. Fun fact: Mat and Theo's parents met because of their brothers being friends! Mat is an amazing person who can't hurt a fly. Actually...I don't think he would be able to kill a fly... This friendship was destined to be, and this "Brodom" will last forever with the help of the other bros!
Melanie Olver
Matron of Honor
Melanie is one of Victoria's older sisters and has always been someone she greatly admires and looks up to. She is hardworking, extremely reliable, a gifted photographer, enjoys a good glass of red wine, and actually enjoys long walks on the beach (she's happily married so this isn't a line for a dating profile, sorry!). Victoria's favorite memories with Mel are the many camping trips they've enjoyed together - especially the weekends in Beach Lake - where they've had the chance to get to know each other better and laugh over anything and everything. Victoria could not be more excited to get to have Melanie not only for her sister, but also for her friend and matron of honor!
Mike Maytas
Best Man
Mike is a "Bro" to the core. He is trustworthy, hilarious, and *Not* smart, and that's what makes him awesome! His hilarity will come into play in his best man speech. Mike studies criminal justice and seeks to go into law enforcement following college. So be nice to Mike, just in case he pulls you over in a few years, you'll want to be on his good side! Mike's ultimate goal in life is to become a superhero. Well...as close to one as you can legally become. He has a heart for helping others, and does so whenever possible. Mike is one of the best tippers you will ever meet, frequently tipping 50-80% at restaurants. He is always willing to give a helping hand when anything needs to be done, and he is always down for a deep conversation. Mike is a bro, and the "Brodom" will live on forever!
Kathi Ford
Matron of Honor
Kathi is one of Victoria's older sisters and is someone who Victoria can always lean on for support. She always gives her heart away to those in need of love, encouragement, and someone to be on their side. Kathi is a rebel with a heart of gold. She knows how to tell a good and/or hilarious story and will keep you entertained with her wit and charm for hours. Victoria's favorite moments with Kathi are the car rides and phone calls they've shared during which they've had many deep and vulnerable talks. Victoria is thrilled to have Kathi stand by her side as her matron of honor, and considers herself super lucky to have Kathi for a sister and friend.
Joe Camara
Groomsman
Theo smiles because Joe is his brother, but he laughs because he knows there's nothing Joe can do about that! Joe is a video game enthusiast and a tech guru. Joe is a junior in high school and hopes to do something electronic/digital related regarding a career after high school. He can always be trusted to know the latest gaming news and any new cheats/tricks that would help you to get through a game! Joe rarely has his picture taken (which will hopefully happen at the wedding) so for now, please enjoy a recent picture of Joe from Christmas! Although growing up with Theo was annoying at worst, and tolerable at best, brothers are brothers. As someone once said, "A brother is first a bother, but eventually, a best friend."
Amber Bartling
Maid of Honor
Amber and Victoria met when they were randomly put on the same construction team at WorkFest, a week-long alternative Spring Break trip in Kentucky where they spent the time roofing a house together. The summer after this was when they really became friends, and as the years and long-distance phone calls went by, Amber became like a sister to Victoria. Amber is a fellow Grey's Anatomy fan, is studying to become an Occupational Therapist, is a talented volleyball player, and is one of the best people Victoria has ever met. She's passionate about working with and befriending people with special needs, can sing just about any country song you can name, and is very creative. Victoria couldn't imagine life without her person, and is so happy she'll be standing by her side as her maid of honor!
Kendall Butler
Groomsman
Kendall was one of the "Bros" from the start. He has taught Theo many amazing things about science and physics, all while maintaining a bro-personality. He and Theo have been through many adventures, many projects together in high school, and hang out whenever they're both in town. Kendall is an astronomy buff and is possibly one of the most intelligent people you will ever meet! If you have a question about physics or science, feel free to ask him when you get a chance! *Disclaimer: Kendall does not know everything, but he does know a lot!* Kendall is an amazing bro, and will be a part of the "Brodom" forever!
Hannah Olver
Bridesmaid
Hannah is Victoria's oldest niece and is someone Victoria has always been close to. Hannah is a freshman at Roberts Wesleyan College and is studying to become a nurse! Through the years, Hannah and Victoria have shared meaningful memories during their summer weekends in Beach Lake and Victoria will always cherish their talks about life, God, and their future hopes and dreams. Hannah is the life of the party and will certainly catch your eye on the dance floor! Victoria couldn't imagine life, or her bridal party, without Hannah!
Michael Glazier
Groomsman
Theo met Michael in their freshman year of college; they shared a class with one of the most *interesting* professors they have ever encountered. He was barefoot most of the time, ecstatic about everything, and made very interesting clothing choices. Theo and Michael both study Christian Ministry at Messiah College and have been close since the start. They have shared 6 hour car rides back and forth to New England, had many amazing conversations and many fun adventures. Michael has helped Theo in his faith journey and is an awesome brother in Christ. Michael is just wicked awesome in general!
Bryanna Robinson
Bridesmaid
Bryanna is Victoria's niece and look-a-like! Through the years, the two have often been thought of as sisters or the same person, although Bryanna is certainly her own incredible self. Bry is genuinely one of the coolest people Victoria knows. She is selfless, conscientious about others and important issues, and has an old soul. She enjoys listening to records, writes the most beautiful and transparent pieces, and is vegan! Victoria knew from the very beginning that having Bryanna as one of her bridesmaids was an absolute MUST!
Josh Burley
Groomsman
Josh was has been a "Bro" from the start. He may be becoming Theo's "Brother-In-Law" in June, but he has treated Theo like a brother from the start. Josh is an amazing person who can always be trusted to help out when someone needs him. If Josh had an anthem, it would be, "Huntin', Fishin' and Lovin' Every Day." If you're not sure who Josh is when looking at the groomsmen, look for the tall good lookin' guy with the stylish beard! (Ladies, he's single ;D)
Megan Heverly
Bridesmaid
Megan was Victoria's college roommate for 2 years, and close friend for all 4 years and beyond. She is an extremely gifted artist, knowledgeable about the coolest and most random things (like birds, trees, and seashells, to name a few), and is a big fan of her adorable doggos (and sends the funniest videos of them)! Megan is one of the goofiest, realest, and chillest people Victoria has ever met, and she's so excited to have her for a bridesmaid!
Tyler Werthmuller
Groomsman
Tyler met Theo freshman year of college, and it was "bruh" at first sight! They remained close through freshman and sophomore year, and then decided to room together. They are both Marvel movie fans, and are hilarious in any environment. You can find many of Theo's funniest quotes on Tyler's facebook wall, and many of Tyler's funny moments come up frequently in Theo's conversations! Although he's yet another yankees fan in Theo's life, Tyler is an amazing friend. He's also one of the most stylish people Theo has ever met! *Ladies, he's single!*
Haley Warner
Bridesmaid
Victoria and Haley met their first years at Messiah College! Haley is an energetic, Jesus-loving Youth Pastor, though she could also be on Dancing With The Stars because her dance moves are pretty legit! She also is a Field Hockey coach at Messiah College. Haley is one of Victoria's closest friends, and one of the most trustworthy, dependable, kind-hearted people Victoria has ever met. Her wit and charm are sure to make you feel right at home, even if dancing isn't usually your kind of thing. Having her by Victoria's side only seemed right, since she's always standing by and supporting Victoria in every other area of life!
*Surprise*
Ring Bearer
We have a special surprise planned for our ring bearer! This surprise will be announced about a month before the wedding! Stay tuned for details! (No...No One is Pregnant, don't worry Mom...)
Seaenna Ford
Flower Girl
Seaenna is Victoria's youngest niece! She is such an intelligent, hilarious, and sweet person. Sea loves reading, gets excited about learning new things (especially new instruments!), and always looks for ways she can help out and help others. Seaenna and Victoria are very close, and they often go on park or zoo dates together! The two of them enjoy using their imaginations together and having deep talks about caring for people and wanting to help those in need. Seaenna is going to be the best flower girl you have ever seen, and we are so fortunate to get to have her as a part of our special day!
Scott Camara
Father of the Groom
Scott is quite possibly the best Dobro player in New England. He plays all over the North East, has appeared on National Television with his dobro, and can pick up his dobro and play with just about any group on the spot! Scott is going on 26 years of marriage with his wife, Dale. Theo may have an impressive beard, but that's only because he grew up with such a beard role model. Scott has consistently had a beard during his lifetime, with periods of time where he would have to shave. Fun face: Scott has NEVER shaved his mustache.
Michael Burley
Father of the Bride
Michael is Dad to 3 daughters, and Victoria is the last of them to get married! He has worked at Kodak for 40+ years, has been called to preach and serve as a lay-leader within the United Methodist tradition, and is always busy working on something - whether that's his home (he just took on a massive kitchen remodel) or any of his children's vehicles. Victoria is very close to her dad, and they often enjoy discussing theological issues for hours on end. Victoria couldn't be more grateful for her incredible father and the many, many life lessons and amazing memories he's given to her through the years!
Dale Camara
Mother of the Groom
Dale is a gifted piano player and an amazingly crafty artist. She is going on 26 years of marriage with her husband, Scott. She grew up in Bridgeport but has traveled across the country and the world, still calling Connecticut "home" in the long run. She enjoys trying new recipes in the kitchen, and taught Theo most of what he knows about cooking. (Which has been useful, since Theo will be cooking most of the meals in this marriage, haha!)
Wendy Burley
Mother of the Bride
Wendy is Victoria's mom, confidant, and best friend! Wendy currently works for Paychex as a Senior Emerging Product Specialist. She enjoys road-trips, cheers for the Eagles, has always wanted to travel to Arizona or the Mall of America, and through her own strong faith example has helped Victoria grow a lot in trusting God. Victoria and her mom love to go for drives around Conesus Lake and talk about anything and everything, and those rides and conversations will forever be cherished by Victoria!
Dan Olver
Usher
Dan is Victoria's brother-in-law and the husband of Melanie! He enjoys being active and loves reading. He keeps a running book suggestion list for Victoria and has known her since she was only a couple of hours old!
Jake Olver
Usher
Jake is Victoria's nephew! He is a junior in high school and loves being outdoors. He used to give Victoria a run for her money when she babysat him, but he's turned out to be a pretty cool guy and she's forgiven him for tying her up, running away, and just generally testing her patience all those years ago!
Justin Ford
Usher
Justin is Victoria's brother-in-law and Kathi's husband! He always makes Victoria belly-laugh, and is someone who makes everyone around him feel accepted and comfortable being themselves. Justin enjoys spending time with family and helping others lighten up by making them laugh!
Caanan Farrell
Usher
Caanan is basically a part of the Burley family and is Josh Burley's best friend. He is a true country boy and a gifted welder! He may be quiet at first, but don't let that fool you into thinking he doesn't know how to party!
The Rev. Dr. Stephen Gallaher
Officiant
Stephen is a professor of Christian ministry at Messiah College, and the preaching pastor of C.H.U.M. Church in Pennsylvania. He set up the happy couple, and started them on their path that has ultimately led to this site! (Well, this wedding too....) Stephen is an amazing man of God, and has helped both Theo and Victoria, along with countless other students and Christians, to grow in their faith. He is an incredibly kind and gentle human, who knows how and when to lay down the law when necessary. Stephen is Victoria's "Messiah Dad" and a big father figure for Theo while at college!
