Victoria & Lindsey
Wedding Party
Victoria, Linz and Sora
Brides and Fur Baby
You all know enough about us! We have surround ourselves with truly wonderful friends and family throughout the years and are so fortunate to have them celebrate with us. Please read a little bit about these special individuals and see how truly blessed we are to know them and have them partake in this special day.
Rebekah Harbour - She/Her
Victoria's Maid of Honor
We met at The Chocolate Therapist in 2017 and what a ride it has been! Our friendship has doubled like a great word in Scrabble, traversed the country like the Fellowship of the Ring, but the most important memories haven't been saved to watch later in a Pensive - but are the easy to remember times over a drink and our shared interests either at Jakes Beer Garden, Uno Mas, at Book Club or just watching classic movies. Our friendship has lasted a pandemic and multiple moves - kept alive by many a phone date (if we don't forget) and I am so grateful to have Be-kah! be my Maid of Honor.
Melissa Matheus - She/Her
Victoria's Bridesmaid
Previously Melissa Stone, she has always been such a wonderful big sister! She is the one that introduced me and Linz - so we owe it all to her!...and OG TikTok....and Discord! With Missa in your life, you couldn't ask for a better friend or advocate. I have all the wonderful memories of us watching Saturday morning cartoons, getting into sisterly fights, finding our love for Anime, going to conventions and making fun meals/drinks we find on the internet together! I am so lucky to have such a one of kind sister, and so happy she said yes to being my Bridesmaid!
Lacey Goff - She/Her
Victoria's Bridesmaid
We met through Linz, and Lacey was a must meet in order to be vetted to be with Linz - and we hit it off! A trustworthy and ever-supportive friend, Lacey has been involved in birthday surprises and is an all around great freaking person! As a fellow lover of the Pittsburgh Penguins and of baking we have kindled a great friendship and I am so happy she agreed to be a Bridesmaid!
Kit Michelle - They/Them
Victoria's Bridesmaid
What to share about the AH-mazing Kit?! We met through Linz and Discord and have found our life stories - though different, have matched in many ways! For one - we both moved across the country to be with our true loves! *All together now - "AWWWWW!"* They have a passion for early education, kiddos and they are just so patient, kind, not to mention a skilled writer and a talented performer. Kit is a true friend and an exceptional human being, I am so honored and grateful they agreed to be a Bridesmaid!
Antonio Hermosillo
Victoria's Groomsman
This fellow is from the Land Before the Time of Covid - college! Hailing from Denver, CO we both chose Colorado Mesa University (CMU) to get our BFA in Performing Arts. He is a very talented dancer, singer/songwriter, producer and overall artist. Together we performed duos in both dance and friendship throughout the years. Through long distance calls and park hangouts, we have managed to keep this friendship alive and I am happy he will join us for this celebration of love to be a groomsman!
Kelly Lipscomb - She/Her
Victoria's Bridesmaid
After meeting through the barn family in 2022, Kelly became our adopted kiddo over the past few years and more recently our roomie! When she is not working, researching a special interest, planting, crafting, painting, embroidering, taking care of her aquariums, riding horses, coaching swim, or beating a video game, she is overall a great friend and safe person; and I am so happy to have her as a Bridesmaid on this special day!
Jaden Matheus
Giving Victoria Away
Jaden is Melissa's husband and is such a wonderful person and role model to his four children (heh...four children). I like to say that the mold was broken after Jaden, as I haven't met another individual with as much kindness, love and compassion for the fellow human as him. He has been in our life for 18 years, has taught me important life lessons and skills, has always been there to listen and even at times advocate for me when I couldn't. He has taken care of my whole family, in so many ways and I am honored he agreed to give me away on this special day.
Alicia Craig - She/Her
Linz's Matron of Honour
What can you even say about Alicka Nichol. As far as older sisters go, she is totally boss. We tend to express our love by bullying one another and then going to get Taco Bell. Despite my lack of ‘rebellious’ behavior as a kid, Alicia always tried to make me feel cool when I was upset by pretending that we were sneaking out to go get Taco Bell late at night, all while blasting Christina Aguilera and singing at the top of our lungs. Alicia is a caring and selfless person as well as a truly determined force. Through her actions as well as her cheerleading, she has always taught me that I can do whatever I can set my mind to. And since we always like to bring up zodiac signs, don’t be surprised at her overwhelmingly warm emotions come wedding day because she is a Cancer and has more emotions than all of our other siblings combined. When I first started even considering the idea of getting engaged, Alicia was, without a doubt, the first person I had in mind to be with me as my Matron of Honour.
Nikki Johnson
Linz's Maid of Honour
Other than my actual siblings, Nikki is probably the only person both strong and patient enough to put up with me for quite this long. We’ve known each other for over 25 years at this point and we are both getting way too old. However, we’ve had many long tack room talks, travelled thousands of miles together for horse shows and have had a few too many vegas bomb evenings (Okay, full disclosure one vegas bomb night was enough to live in infamy). Through it all, Nikki has always been a steady support and is always there to help me sort through whatever I may be going through and is there with comfort and sound advice. She single handedly pushes me to be a better more well rounded person, whether it is lovingly bullying me into riding consistently or lovingly bullying me into coming out and socializing. Nikki is not only an incredibly talented equestrian, but is also a very talented instructor. Nikki has been by my side through every significant up and down event in my life and I could not imagine having anyone else by my side as my maid of honour.
JR Miller - He/Him
Linz's Co-Best Man
James, JR, “Ger”, Jams Reginald, Jenny Rachel. The man, the myth, the legend and also one of my very best friends. Not many people can say that their annoying younger brother is actually one of their best friends. This man has one of the biggest hearts and capacity for love that I have ever seen. We have always bonded over our love of music, comedy and Kingdom Hearts. JR is definitely the Riku to my Sora. As siblings, we have had our fair share of fights, as everyone does. However, nothing has ever even rattled the bond and friendship we have. I am very proud of him for not only his recent achievements in the military, but his musical achievements and growth as a person as well. Whenever I need someone to pick me up or make me laugh, he is the first call I make. When it came to picking my wedding party, JR was the reason I decided to be “non traditional”. I couldn’t imagine him not standing beside me on my wedding day and thus he became my best man.
Rob Correll
Linz's Co-Best Man
The one true wingman. When I first met Rob, I was locked out of my house and he opened the door as I was attempting to break into my house. Which is definitely not awkward when neither of you knows the other. Rob and I quickly found that we are incredibly similar and bonded over our love of pokemon and tequila. Rob has always supported me and pushed me to put myself out there and unironically preached ‘YOLO’ in a positive way. It’s because of Rob that I went to my first Pride. When I told him I was thinking of maybe wanting to go to a pride event, he took it upon himself to plan a weekend trip to NYC for us to go to World Pride so that my first pride was the best it could be. That’s just Rob for you, selfless and the world’s best hype man. It’s why I had no hesitation in choosing him to be my Co-Best Man.
Bri Rose - She/Her
Linz's Bridesmaid
Brie and I met about six years ago- once again thanks to the OG Tik Tok & Discord. Despite the glaring Gryffindor and Slytherin (boo Slytherin) differences between us, we bonded over our love of music, art, Harry Potter and our shared birthday. How many people can say they met a random person online who became a true and loyal friend that even has the same birthday as you?! Despite the golden rule of not meeting strangers from the internet, we decided to meet up, first in Michigan and then again in Pennsylvania. To the relief of us both neither of us was a murderer. At least not yet, anyway. Brie is a gifted photographer and a talented creative writer. Brie was also one of the first people to know I was even interested in Vicky, hell, even before I was and she has always been incredibly kind, supportive and welcoming. Even bonding with Vicky over watching Twilight in Portuguese. As my birthday twin, convention buddy and ghost hunting partner in crime, it seemed only natural for her to add bridesmaid to her resume!
Alex Turnmire - She/Her
Linz's Bridesmaid
Alex and I met through the farm, though no one can exactly remember what year that was and it was quite the debate in my living room trying to figure it out. At any rate, between working the barn, showing and working together at the Vet clinic, we've grown very close and Vicky and I have jokingly adopted her alongside Kelly as our adopted kids. Alex is almost always at the barn, but in the off chance that she isn't she's probably being a book worm, playing video games or studying toward her degree.
Betty and Bill Correll
Mother and Step Father of the Bride - Linz
Well, despite how different me and all of my siblings are, the one common thread is my mom, Betty. Which...probably explains it all lol. Mom has always been so supportive and encouraging when it comes to me being who I am. She is incredibly intelligent and truly a force to be reckoned with. As I get older, I've realized I've definitely learned a thing or two from her and I am grateful for the unconditional love and understanding she has always given. She has a giant heart and an amazing capacity to care for people, a trait I constantly hope to embody with as much grace as she does. My mom is a firm believer in love and on my journey to finding Victoria, I remember her bolstering my confidence and assuring me I would find "my someone". I will never forget how happy she was when she met Victoria and how fast even she could tell that I had definitely found my person. As for Bill, he has always been incredibly supportive as well and I am very lucky to have a wonderful relationship with him. He is kind and is always willing to lend a helping hand or give advice. He also has so much random, amazing knowledge and I love learning all he has to offer.
Ross and Diana Miller
Father and Step Mother of the Bride - Linz
Ross will be giving Linz away. When it came to Vicky, I'm pretty sure both my Dad and Dee knew she was my person the first time they ever met her. My dad has always been incredibly kind and compassionate and is a man of many many feelings. He has a giant heart and is always around to give advice or support or even just a good listener. The trip that started Vicky and I's journey was actually all thanks to him and his love of the Outer Banks. My love of sports came from him (even though he's a Caps fan. Can't be right about everything) and I have enjoyed going to football and hockey games with him as well as just going out for a beer and catching a game on tv. He is also a very accomplished lacrosse coach and bowler. It's almost guaranteed that if we're together for more than a few hours at a time we will most likely wind up with lacrosse sticks in hand and playing catch. Dee has always been incredibly supportive as well and I feel like she's one of very few people who can always appreciate my sense of humour in a way not many other people can. She is an absolutely creative force and is very talented in any creative endeavor she pursues. She also makes tamales that are out of this damn world.
Debbie Stone
Mother of the Bride - Victoria
After 31 years you would think she would get tired of me...but no! Being raised by a single mother has had its ups and downs, but through it all she always made sure we had something to eat, a roof over our heads and moments of pause to cherish each other. She is the one that kept me dancing no matter what life threw at us, and I am thankful for all the life experiences she has been apart of that have lead me to become who I am today.
Matthew Smith - He/Him
Officiant
Matthew is my youngest sibling and as the baby of the family, its' only natural that he would be picked to run the show. When you first meet Matt, you would assume he's on the quieter and more reserved side. However, it's actually pretty hard to get him to shut it when he's talking about things he loves. He has always been so supportive and a wonderfully empathetic person and we have a TON in common. Despite a small disagreement when he was younger where he wouldn't stop kicking my car seat, we've always been very close. Matthew is hardworking nurse and a fun loving weeb and we're excited he actually agreed (without being bribed) to officiate our big day!
Penny Fowler - She/They
Flower Child
One of Linz's two nieces, Penny is a very talented musician and a proud Ravenclaw. I am so proud of how self assured and creative Penny is and their curious and inquisitive attitude is always a source of inspiration. They love to read and also love animals. We are very excited for them to be a part of our special day!
Ashlin - She/Her
Flower Girl
Vicky's one and only Niece! She will be 5 years old for the wedding! She loves pink and to hang out playing games and Barbie's. We are so happy she will be one of two Flower Children!
Crispin Matheus - He/Him
Ring Bearer
Vicky's oldest nephew and one of two ring bearers. He is 10 years old and loves gymnastics, playing video games with his family and has a distinguished taste for Utz's Cheese Balls! A true Marylander!
Korbin Matheus - He/Him
Ring Bearer
Vicky's 2nd nephew is the second of two ring bearers. He is 8 years old and loves Minecraft, his new Hoverboard, Chad - his bearded dragon (see image), gymnastics and reading.
