Wedding Party
Emily Wolfe
Maid of Honor
Emily and Sammy have been friends since Sammy moved to Florida at just one years old. Their journey began as childhood neighbors, celebrating birthdays together and creating countless memories. Even though they attended different schools, they always made time for mall trips and heartfelt catch-ups. From cheering on the Tampa Bay Lightning to game nights and D&D adventures, their friendship has only grown stronger. Sammy is truly grateful to have Emily by her side through it all.
Andrea Broad
Bridesmaid
Sammy and Andrea have been friends since second grade, growing up side by side through every school milestone until high school graduation. Despite the miles between them now, their bond remains as strong as ever. Whether it's spontaneous Disney adventures or dancing the night away at weddings, their friendship never skips a beat. Sammy is incredibly grateful for a connection that always feels like home, no matter how much time has passed.
Andrea Pounds
Bridesmaid
Sammy and Andrea have been friends since sixth grade, sharing their high school years and staying connected through college. Their bond grew even stronger when they became roommates for five years, supporting each other in life's adventures and staying motivated on their health journeys. Together, they tackled the Insanity workout program and celebrated a 30-pound weight loss! Through all the years and milestones, Sammy is grateful to have a friend like Andrea by her side.
Karianne Pounds
Bridesmaid
When Karianne met Sammy through Andrea, neither of them knew it would spark a remarkable friendship and five incredible years as roommates. During their time living together, they formed a deep bond, sharing countless game nights, an unforgettable trip to Vegas, and endless laughter. The memories they created will always hold a special place in Sammy’s heart, a reminder of a friendship that will last a lifetime.
Catherine Pieper
Bridesmaid
Cat and Sam (which could totally be a TV show!) have been great friends since high school. They stayed in touch through college and still make time to hang out whenever they can. From strolling through malls to double dates at hockey games, their friendship has been filled with fun and unforgettable moments. Sammy truly appreciates having Cat by her side all these years.
Mikaela Lynch
Bridesmaid
Mikaela and Sammy’s friendship began in high school, brought together by their shared love of musical theater. One of Sammy’s favorite memories is harmonizing to For Good in the bathroom, taking full advantage of the amazing acoustics. They stayed connected through college and later became close neighbors for five years while Sammy lived with Andrea and Karianne. Their friendship has been filled with music and unforgettable moments.
Tyler Broadbent
Best Man
Troy has known Tyler his whole life, naturally. While they may have acted like rivals, getting up early to play hours of baseball games in the front yard until the bats turned into lightsabers, which turned into someone getting hurt, they have always been the best of friends, staying up all night to play video games or sneak in a South Park episode or two before being told to go to bed.
Brian Stiles
Groomsman
Troy actually first met Brian on his first date with Sammy while in downtown Tampa. He crashed their date after Sammy made it clear she didn’t want him to, as any younger brother would. Through many Lightning games, golf outings, family trips, and many NFL Sundays, they have grown close, and Brian has already made Troy feel like part of the family.
Andy Forbes
Groomsman
If it weren’t for his own brother, Andy would be Troy’s longest standing best friend. The first time he met Andy in 6th grade, he was just the funny neighbor kid of a mutual friend. Over the years, they’ve shared Gifted classes together, participated in National Honor Society together, became roommates in college, were at the racetrack every weekend, and now play hockey together every Monday night.
Andrew Aldana
Groomsman
For the longest time, Andrew was known to Troy as “Manila”, and was just a voice in his headset playing Xbox in college. Among their group, it was always Andrew and Troy that would close the party, calling it a night sometimes by sunrise. After Andrew moved to Florida and they met in person for the first time, it was clear that friendships made online could be just as strong as any other kind.
