Elizabeth & David
Wedding Party
Ashley Velzis
Maid of Honor
Ashley is Elizabeth's favorite daughter. Ashley just moved back from New Hampshire where she and Brandon lived for the past 5 years. “I am amazed by who she has grown up to be. She has been a lifesaver in planning this wedding! THANK YOU ASHLEY!”
Angela Lontoc
Bridesmaid
Angela is Elizabeth's very close friend. "We've known each other since high school. We met at Isaiah 11, a Christian youth center on the island. I was so thrilled when Angie moved back to RI, and then to Portsmouth! We try to have frequent girls' nights with Robin, my other bridesmaid. They have been so helpful and supportive with planning my wedding! Thank you Angela for ALL of your help!" (Angela is pictured holding our dog, Mika.)
Jackie Lutz
Bridesmaid
Jackie is a wonderful young lady who is in a relationship with Matt. Matt and Jackie met at UMass where Jackie is studying for a Bachelor’s in English. She lives in New Jersey with her family. Jackie enjoys horseback riding and has a slight obsession with dinosaurs!
Brandon Gendreau
Best Man
Brandon is Ashley's boyfriend of 5 years. He is a sweetheart, very caring, and the most polite, gentle, and good hearted young man I know, (apart from my son of course!) Brandon volunteered to be our DJ before we hired one. Now he can just come and enjoy the wedding, and we have the honor of having him in our wedding party!
Matthew Velzis
Groomsman
Matthew is Elizabeth's favorite son. "He's a busy freshman at UMASS Amherst, and we've been up to see him many times this year to see him play in the Minutemen Marching Band, which is an AMAZING site if you ever get to see them perform! I'm so impressed with the mature young man he's become. I'm proud of you, Matt!"
Kevin Erb
Groomsman
Kevin is David's brother-in-law, he's married to David's sister, Nikki.
Tommy Morgan
Ring Bearer
Tommy is the cutest, most adorable young man who also happens to be the Bride's nephew. His mom is Elizabeth's #1 sister! Tommy lives with his mom, Jennifer and his dad, Keith in Huntsville, AL. Thank you Jennifer for coming all the way back to RI for our wedding, even with your high school class reunion just a month away!
Parker Smith
Flower Girl
Parker is Audrey and TJ's daughter., and they live in NY. Audrey is David's niece. Parker is 2 years old, and the cutest, sweetest, little girl with the prettiest smile- although we don't have a recent photo of her smiling. Elizabeth can't wait to meet her!
