Wedding Party
Joshua Burley
Groom
Josh is overly excited with being Torrey's husband and carrying the name of Mr. Burley. Josh's favorite food is Chocolate and Vanilla Twist Ice Cream regular cone. He is an avid outdoorsmen who spends the fall sitting 15ft in a tree, bow or shotgun in hand. Some of Josh's favorite qualities of Torrey is the way her laugh can bring the whole room to pure joy, the way she looks at him with such passion and adoration, and her drive to provide for her family with a life full of happiness. Josh's biggest mentor in life was his father. Michael Joseph Burley was more than just a best friend, he respected him, learned how to found a woman of Torrey's caliber from him, and most importantly learned how to show others Christ's enteral love.
Torrey Bronecki
Bride
Torrey comes across as shy and gentle, but once you get to know her she's the best friend anyone can ask for. She's full of sass but only in a fun-loving way, with humility and kindness being shown to all. What Torrey appreciates most about Josh is his patience that calms her through moments of distress, his time away from the woods during hunting season lol (it's not much time but it all matters), his acceptance of who she is, and what she stands for as a human. Torrey and Josh work together both in life and in business where they both strive for the same goal. This can be challenging at times for partners to not only live with, but work with each other. They conquer both life and business with the same passion and love towards each other at the end of each and every day.
Sam White
Best Man
Sam has been Josh's best friend, hunting buddy, and fellow 2nd Gen Dodge fanatic. Sam often gets mistaken for being Amish, so much so that one year his Halloween Costume was "Jedediah." Josh and Sam spend many hours in the woods during the spring and summer months cutting down trees, mowing deer paths, and envisioning those elusive 10 point bucks walking in to bow range. Besides the outdoors, Sam spends most of his days helping buddies fix their vehicles, hanging out with Ann his girlfriend of many years, and working for Gregson Clark Spraying in Caledonia, NY. Josh sees Sam as his big brother. Expect to find Sam cracking jokes or talking about the "trail cam pics he got last year" at the wedding.
Regina Bronecki
Maid of Honor
Known as Reggie, she is Torrey's older sister and best friend. Growing up, Torrey has always been able to lean on Reggie for rides to the mall, doing her makeup for fancy events, and learning how to be a strong, respectable woman. Reggie enjoys shopping, hanging out with friends such as Lisa Norris and Kelly Bosch, and going along with last minute vacations sparked by Josh's whims of "let's go somewhere just cause we can this weekend." One of our favorite memories of Reggie is flying to Tampa, FL and renting a brand new red 2021 Ford Mustang and putting that baby in "sports mode" through the midnight streets. Tell ya folks, if you ever need to get anywhere fast, Reggie is your woman. We love you Reg, you've been family since the start.
Quintin Bronecki
Groomsman
"Winton", "Q", "Quint" are just a few names for one of the best dudes Josh has ever met. Quintin is the bride's oldest brother and will have the privilege of walking her down the aisle. Quintin has been the man who raises his hand first when hearing of someone in need of help. Many a times he has dropped everything to help Josh. Reliability and constant humor are just a few things to expect from the man rocking the man bun, dancing with the blonde girl. Quintin enjoys making wire trees which involve twisting up to 100 wires together to make an artesian handcrafted tree that would compare to anything you've seen on Etsy.When Josh asked the family for Torrey's hand, he watched Quintin's eyes for an answer as symbolically passing the torch from her eldest brother's hands to mine.Love you man.
Anika French
Bridesmaid
Anika is Quintin's girlfriend of 4 months but it feels as though we've known her our whole lives. She has a bubbly, and bright personality that can make a rainy day feel like sunny and 75. Since entering our lives' we've witnessed her wanting nothing but the best for Quintin supporting him with his goals and aspirations. With a family so protective of Quintin because of how special he is, she has captured our hearts with how pure of a person she is. Anika and Quintin were in on the engagement when Josh had to break away from Torrey to go buy a ring. They took Torrey to Buffalo for a ramen date at one of the restaurants they frequent on top of a round of putt putt to give Josh and the ladies ample time to pick out the perfect ring. We can't wait for you to show off them dancing skills.
Ethan Perham
Groomsman
Handsome. Josh met Ethan from high school football where he was fullback and linebacker. With Ethan being a year older, watching him during hitting drills Josh was deathly afraid of getting put on a stretcher. Now, Ethan is owner of one of our partnering companies for Livingston Asphalt. Josh learned the once scary upper classmen is very approachable and one of the most respectful guys you'll ever meet. He currently has started up his own power washing company. Apart from business and sports, he enjoys hunting with Josh, playing video games, and working with his hands. Ethan is very intelligent, charismatic, and supportive. He tends to be shy but if you wind him up you'll find he can be very chatty. Fun fact, he takes care of his beard religiously and it speaks for itself.
Melanie Olver
Bridesmaid
Mel is Josh's eldest sister, the mother of Jacob and Hannah Olver. Mel first introduced Josh's family to Beach Lake as she unselfishly granted us access to "a little glimpse of Heaven," Camp Timberledge. As we raise a toast of moonshine, you can thank the mixologist for her valent efforts in providing a sweet, savory blend of apple pie via liquid form. Travel agent, fierce competitor in volleyball or washer boards, and party planner expert are just a few of the many talents we have come to appreciate over the many years of dedication she has put into her family. The first of the siblings to be married now passes the torch for the last time to the youngest sibling.
Stephen Bridgeman
Groomsman
Stevie is a proud dad of Jack, and fiancé to Alyssa. Steve worked with Josh at Livingston Asphalt and is now a tow truck driver keeping people safe on the roads. Steve has a big heart for all his friends and family. One of Steve's funniest moments is taking down a buck on a deer drive through state owned land where immediately after shooting he announced "BIG BUCK, BIG BUCK!" To his surprise he walked up on his deer with half the rack broken off and dispersed and the other half having 2 points. Needless to say, he still hasn't lived that one down. You can expect Steve to be the guy you hear laughing hard with a big camo brimmed hat. One of Josh's newest friends, but one he knows will be around for a lifetime.
Kathi Ford
Bridesmaid
Overall badass, with a heart full of grace and zest for life. Kathi encompasses the sister who "keeps it 100." Whether it be attending sporting events, playing euchre, or someone just looking for a pick me up in life Kathi will always be there. Kathi would give you the shirt off her back, ride into battle with you, or provide a laugh whenever needed. Kathi is a mother to both Bridesmaid Bryanna Robinson and junior Bridesmaid Seaenna Ford. One of Josh's favorite memories of Kathi are the days she'd come randomly visit their Dad and just talk for hours, sometimes about nothing at all but it all meant something.
Theo Camara
Groomsman
Theo, Josh's brother in-law, and Josh spent their first night meeting each other by sharing a hotel room. This hotel room would lead to the first of many discussions of the Yankees vs. Red Sox rivalry, and a brotherly bond that continues to grow as we now call ourselves family. Theo is a loving father to his little one Ahava and husband to Josh's sister Victoria. He prides himself on being the "tech wizard" of our large extended family tree. Not only can Theo set up your Wifi, build a website suitable for any business, but also has the abilities to make your house a "smart home." Theo has always looked out for Josh and continues to be a voice of reason in any situation. Josh is very protective of his 3 older sisters and to have gained such adoration is attributed to the man he is.
Victoria Camara
Bridesmaid
Josh's first best friend, Victoria is mom to Ahava and Wife of Theo Camara. Josh spent the majority of his younger days idolizing "Ta" while also pestering her by deleting DVR recordings lol. Josh's favorite memory with Ta comes with humility as at night Josh would be scared to sleep in his room so he'd knock on the wall that he shared with his "big" sister. Victoria would knock back to let him know he was safe and she was awake with him. Often times in life, people don't receive a "knock" back but Ta has been persistent to provide that gentle reminder that all is well and she is here to comfort and protect even in our adult years.
Johnathon Greeley
Groomsman
An absolute unit, he wakes up and pisses excellence, benches a semi-truck, can bend steel, word is he fought a gorilla last week and the gorilla apologized. Josh met John through high school football where he was a running back on varsity for 3 years. In more recent news he began working with Josh at Livingston Asphalt this year and has quickly arose into the position of On-site Supervisor. John emits a big energy, is easy going, and can put down beers like none other. Outside of work and sports he loves working out, hanging with his buddies like fellow groomsmen and best friend Ethan, and partying. John is trustworthy, one of Josh's best friends, and someone who brings joy every time he walks into a room.
Bryanna Robinson
Bridesmaid
Bryanna, Bry, or Breezy to some is a lovely soul. Bryanna has an old soul, one that captures you with kindness, humility, and provides a breath of fresh air to all who are lucky to fall witness to. Bry grew up being the youngest of the "gang," Victoria, Josh, Hannah, Jacob, and Bryanna. She caught frogs with Josh and Jake, played cops and robbers with all of us, and even flipped the four wheeler one time driving back in the tree farm when we didn't spot the 4 foot tree ahead of us. She is strong, she is fearless, she is fierce, but only when needed. If you are lucky enough to experience the love she has for life and for the people she cares about, you would realize the depths she is willing to go. What a beautiful young lady she has blossomed into and we couldn't be happier to have you a part of our big day.
James McClelland
Groomsman
Hamez, you started out Jake's friend, and shortly after became one of mine as well. James is a fellow conservation student of Finger Lakes Community College. Outside of school, he's worked for the Forest Service out west, and a tree service company locally in Bloomfield. James has been figuratively adopted into the family as we appreciate his quick responses, his go with the flow vacation and camping adventures, and his loyalty towards being Jake's most reliable friend. Kindness, humility, and funny are a few words to describe James. Glad to have you by my side on our special day brother.
Hannah Olver
Bridesmaid
Hannah is a man eater, she'll chew ya up and spit ya out. Better be careful Michael (her boyfriend). Hannah serves our country proud in the Air Force. The strides she has made in her life already would lead you to believe she was in her 30's 40's but no. Once she lays her eyes on something she accomplishes it and crushes through the task at hand effortlessly while remaining humble and appreciative of where she's at and where she's going. Her fiery nature is infectious, but underneath all that is a heart pure and full of vigor for the ones who mean the most to her. Hannah can hang, she can dance, but more importantly she can motivate others to be a better version of themselves. Hannah is Josh's niece, Josh being older by 13 months. He has always looked out for her and has been proud to be associated with such high level degree of a woman.
Jacob Olver
Groomsman
Jake is Josh's only nephew. Jake and Josh grew up catching toads, riding four-wheelers in the Christmas tree farm behind his house, and rabbit hunting. These days grew into a bond that would stand the test of time. Besides being Josh's hunting buddy and fishing guide on Conesus Lake, Jake is a drywaller for his Dad's company Olver Drywall where he prides himself on being yet another hard working man in our large family. Jake's unwavering love for his family is shown in many different ways. In his spare time he is also the assistant soccer coach for the same high school he was a captain on varsity. Jake is the fun-loving charmer in the fitted suit, making people's drinks and making conversation with people he's never met. One of the dudes I'm most proud to call family and brother.
Seaenna Ford
Junior Bridesmaid
Sea Sea, Lake Lake, or just a beautiful young lady is what encompasses Josh and Torrey's niece. Seaenna is 10 years difference of Josh and he remembers the day she was born as of one the happiest days for our family. She is so bright, sweet, and caring that there's no way she wouldn't be standing by Torrey's side on what is to be our biggest milestone yet. What 12 year old do you know that would use all her saved up Starbucks' gift cards on 5 ladies just to make sure no one had to pay? This is Seaenna's heart. We have fond memories of a sleepover we had with you playing Fortnite and ordering Olive Garden, to then getting Late night slurpees and candy at 7/11. We are so proud of the young lady you have become and look forward to the Morgan Wallen Concert in June with you.
Logan Bronecki
Groomsman
Standing at 6' 3", big thighs, and luscious curly locks, Logan is that guy. Logan is a D2 swimmer for Le Moyne, a dedicated Asphalt Sealer, and my future real-estate/insurance agent. There is one man that knows how to get Torrey out of her funk and that is Logan. His humor, goofiness, constant food cravings shared out loud, and S tier rankings keep things light during this pandemic. Josh enjoys our 1 vs. 1 basketball games, talking sports bets, and working with a 19 year old that actually has a good work ethic and positive attitude. Don't be surprised to see him in the newspapers a few years down the road, Josh can see the potential in Logan and there's no limit. By the way, he holds 4 different pool records at Livonia High School.
Wendy Burley
Mother of the Groom
Mother of the Year doesn't come close to how much you mean to me Momma. There wasn't a football, basketball, or school event you weren't at for me. You've been a guiding light and a blessing to have by my side for the entirety of my life. Torrey and Josh took your Bronco out west, happened to pop 3 different tires on top of the same mountain Josh proposed to Torrey. Through it all, all you cared about was our safety and excitement for being engaged. Thank you for the lessons, the adventures, the patience, and the persistent love and support. I have no doubt our Mother/Son dance will be full of tears, but they will be ones of happiness and gratuity for the moment we will share. I love you with all my being.
Victoria Bills
Mother of the Bride
Mom is a very generic term for someone so incredible. Since I can remember she has been the person to lean on for a laugh, an audience capturing story of days gone by, and a surplus of support. At every event she's a social butterfly humbly sharing how proud she is of each and every one of her children. One of my favorite memories of her is whenever I had an appointment she would always extend the time we got to spend together by taking me to lunch. Those extra hours with her always meant the most. To see the ray of sunshine that is her smile fills my heart completely. The woman I am today is a direct reflection of the lessons, love, and strength I have witnessed from you. I love you to my core and will always be appreciative of our inseparable bond.
