Amelia & Brian
Wedding Party
Katherine Abrams
Bridesmaid
My sister by choice, the person I was inseparable from growing up, and the reason for my roller coaster obsession. She's also the only person I know who is actually good at the red and yellow cards in Cranium. Watch out for her mad Murder Mystery Party skills.
Evan Barrow
Groomsman
My first friend, even though he lied to me about his name the entire first day of kindergarten. I'll never forget all the time we spent playing Sonic 2 together (Tails HATES water!). He can also play pretty much any instrument, just ask him.
Maria Abrams
Bridesmaid
My sister by choice, the person who always has my back no matter what, and my favorite party game teammate. She can always make me laugh until I can't breathe, especially when it has to do with pecan pie-tasting competitions.
Nate Bishop
Groomsman
I moved to North Carolina for this man's cooking skills. Nate is also a very talented beer brewer and makes my favorite Hefeweizen ever. He is always there if you want to have a retro gaming night complete with the finest wine and bourbon.
Claire Fortenberry
Bridesmaid
My Little, fellow lover of chemistry jokes that no one else appreciates, and the only person I want to watch "Swamp People" with. The Timothy to my Claptrap.
Brian Garrison
Groomsman
My other half, or at least the other half of Brian-squared. Fellow founder of the Law Firm of Brian, Brian, Brian, and Tony. We can spend hours together talking about anything from personal finance to our collective love of blowing up grunts in Halo.
Beth Kermode
Bridesmaid
My best friend, my crafting and reading buddy, and the person I can lose all track of time with and talk to for hours. Fellow lover of outdoor adventures and the fiercest of Dungeons and Dragons players, though ironically her characters always seem to despise mine.
Matthew Jones
Groomsman
The best brother in the whole world and my favorite gaming buddy, even if he always kicks my butt in Halo. He always gets my terrible jokes, and he can also quote most of the hilarious dialogue from the Borderlands games (ask him about his Marcus impersonation).
Amanda Mosedale
Bridesmaid
My baking show buddy, the person who gets all my random book and movie references, and one of only two people I can trust to correctly take eggs out of an egg carton (Amanda, we both know Brian is WRONG!).
Scott Kermode
Groomsman
Show tune aficionado, the gateway to my board game addiction, and the person I can unapologetically discuss Star Wars and comic book lore with. He is a fantastic craft brewer which makes for some excellent grill outs at his house.
Heather Ostrander
Bridesmaid
My vet school roommate, the person I can always vent to or ask for advice, and my favorite person to be trapped with in a bar during a tornado. Thank you for being the reason I drink my wine out of a penguin mug.
Chip Marshall
Groomsman
He is an amazing room mate that put up with me for two years. Chip is always there if you need help with anything. Especially moving cars during a hurricane during our first year at ODU together.
James Tyler
Father of the Bride
The best dad a girl could ask for...except for when he lied to me about the short-legged cows. Go to him for all your guitar playing and embarrassing Amelia story needs. Seriously though, he is amazing in every way. I love you Dad, and I couldn't be more excited to share this day with you!
Kathy Jones
Mother of the Groom
The best Mom in the whole world. She is the reason my yellow baby blanket is still alive to this day. She can fix anything and has always been there to help me out in any way. I love you so much Mom!
Terry & Marc Abrams
Family of the Bride
My family in all ways except blood. Two of the kindest, most generous, and most fun people I know. Terry was my mom's best friend and is graciously filling in as Honorary Mother of Bride. I am so happy to have two of my favorite people in the world with me on my wedding day. Love you both!
Dale Jones
Father of the Groom
He is the best Dad in the whole world. There is no car or tractor that this man cannot fix. He's taught me everything I know about car maintenance but I've never had to use this knowledge because he is so good at keeping my car tuned up. I love you so much Dad!
