Taylor & James
Wedding Party
Erica
Bridesmaid
Erica and Taylor met at work and became close after they flew together. They've been to multiple countries and on all kinds of hi-jinks together and Taylor is very happy to have Erica here for this next big adventure! Fun Fact: Erica is currently a flight instructor on her path to fulfilling her dream of being a pilot!
Lani
Groomsman
Lani and James met just after high school. Lani invited James out one night and while attending a Celtics Game together, their bromance blossomed. They have been best friends, gym rats and wild men ever since.
Whitley
Bridesmaid
Whitely and Taylor met at their Jetblue interview in NYC. The two instantly clicked, they went out to brunch, wandered NY and months later, reunited in Orlando for training. The two (with a few other friends) even lived in a single hotel room for a month when they were based in Fort Lauderdale unexpectedly. Bonus points to Whitley for being there on our 3rd date, engagement and now our wedding!
Leo
Groomsman
Leo and James met while on a double date to a rock concert. Although their respective relationships didn't last, their friendship did. Leo is a welder and a talented photographer.
Deidre
Bridesmaid
Deidre and Taylor met on a Long Beach, CA layover. They accompanied their friend to a dreadful bar, later, escaping across the street to a Johnny Rockets, where they ordered burgers, fries and milkshakes, went back to Taylor's hotel room and ate them in bed together. It was the start of a beautiful friendship. Fun Fact: Deeg has been to 71+ countries and climbed (part of) Everest!
Elington
Groomsman
Ellington is the brother of the bride and although he would love to stand on her side of the aisle, we all agree, he looks much better in a suit than a dress. Fun fact, Ellington will actually become Jame's older brother fulfilling his dream of not being the "baby" sibling. We refer to him as our Best Man of Honor as we make him do the job of 2 people.
Cheska
Bridesmaid
Cheska and Taylor met working at the ill-fated restaurant West End Station in 2010. In fact, Cheska got Taylor no less than 2 more jobs after that. The least I could do was make her wear a dress I picked out at my wedding. Cheska is a talented Yogi, event planner and word traveler!
Doug
Groomsman
Doug and James played travel soccer together as ankle biters. They maintained their friendship from elementary, to middle, high school and beyond. James is excited to have Ol' Dougy boy by his side as he takes this next big step!
Randi
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Randi met in middle school where they bonded over the fact they both had 3 first names, mother's named Carol and were(still are) all in all, 110% awkward. Fun fact: Randi attended grad school in London and is fluent in french!
Andrew
Groomsman
Andrew and James played the same position in JV Football (literal shocker) and always hung out during practice. The two took a road trip to visit James's family in Pennsylvania and Andrew (affectionately called AO) acted as his navigator and as they say, the rest is history!
Jen
Bridesmaid
Jen and Taylor met on a layover to NYC. They've worked together many times having fun layovers like skiing in Maine and drinking Margs in New York. In 2017 James and Taylor traveled to Hawaii to root Jen on at the Honolulu Marathon (and also because it's Hawaii...)
