Brooke Torres

Maid of Honor

I’m so happy to see my big sister marrying the love of her life - he’s even a fellow whiskey lover! Seeing Ashley go from putting goodies on her bedroom dresser to walking down the aisle, I am incredibly proud to see her go through life’s adventures. Welcome to the family Andrew!

William Vittetoe

Best Man

Andrew and I have been arguing, playing games, and generally getting into trouble since the day he rolled into the world. Affectionately known as the cesspool of knowledge, Andrew is always ready to let you know what you should have done. I am looking forward to celebrating Andrew and Ashley's wedding, and the adventure that awaits them both.

Laura Vittetoe

Bridesmaid

As a middle child, Andrew spent a great deal of his childhood in unusual and occasionally dangerous situations. There was the time Andrew decided to become a herpatologist and attempted to pick up local snakes in the yard. His career came to an abrupt end with a visit to the ER. Then there was the time Andrew watched a series on the Roman empire and announced the success of the Roman empire lay with their commitment to 'mahogany.' But perhaps most memorable was when Andrew in the van on a school field trip told the entire class about his 'Grandpa Dick." When everyone began to snicker, he switched to telling them about his "Grandpa Toe." One thing is certain, life will never be boring with Andrew, who is looking forward to many years of mahogany with Ashley.

Bridesmaid

One of my most enduring memories of Andrew and Ashley as a couple is the time Ashley and I found ourselves following Andrew through the waist- and sometimes chest-deep waters of the everglades during the alligator nesting season. Felt stupid the entire time, but pushed on until we were literally chased by an angry alligator and Ashley and I insisted that this "fun adventure" was over and we went home. So happy for them both and can't wait to stand by them as they make their vows. Love you guys!

Andrew, I am incredibly happy knowing that my sister is marrying you. You have a heart of gold and I’m extremely thankful to gain such a great Brother-In-Law. WALL-E is always welcome to stay with me if you need a baby sitter!

Carolyn Emery

Bridesmaid

Ashley and I met at Cornell University in 2013. We would have never met because of different majors. She advertised a room with a picture of her yorkie Rocky and I had my yorkie Nairi. She thought I was a scammer because I was at the time a foreign graduate student. From that time we have shared so many great memories and hope to continue many more for years to come.

Groomsman

Ask Andrew about our first encounter...I gave him the “talk.” Needless to say, he is family now. These two have a long, beautiful road ahead of them.

Ella Lam

Bridesmaid

The first time I went to Ashley's house in middle school and she fed me homemade burritos, I knew I made a friend for life. I can always count on Ashley to be my SVU marathon partner while we consume unhealthy amounts of boba and snacks. A true testament to how things never change despite our friendship spanning over the course of several states! Ash, thanks for always saving some food for me whenever I come over, and for being the kind and genuine person you are. So happy for the two of you and can't wait for your special day!

Sean Sampson

Groomsman

Andrew and I became friends because he loves how I play blackbird on the guitar. I wooed him.

Sima Njoya

Bridesmaid

Ashley and I met at UC Davis while studying BioEngineering. The four of us quickly became friends and worked together on many projects. She is not only beautiful but amazingly smart and talented. She can do anything she sets her mind to. I love her and I can’t wait to see these love birds get married and embark upon many more adventures together. They are the perfect fit for each other and I always knew 😉

Groomsman

Andrew and I first met in the lobby of a different MBA school - lucky for Ashley and me, neither of us attended. I was immediately mesmerized by how well he wore a goatee and our shared Gatorness. Not thinking much of our chance encounter until we crossed paths again at Destination Johnson (admitted students weekend) where with a wink and a secret bat signal we agreed to be roommates thus sparking an incredible friendship and camaraderie. When I first met Andrew, it was easy to tell that he is a man of strong character and integrity; and when I first saw him and Ashley together I knew he had finally met his match. I am so honored to be part of this celebration of two incredible people and I look forward to many many happy years to come.

Rachel Rieger

Bridesmaid

Ashley and I met while studying at UC Davis and it was quickly apparent how amazing she is. From all night study sessions, to making a ridiculous kids show, and all the fun and adventures in between, I love this girl with all my heart and I can't wait to see her transcend into the next stage of life!

Stephanie Yu

Bridesmaid

Ashley and I met in middle school math class and have been close friends since. After almost 20 years of friendship, I'll still never forget the first moment I laid eyes on her and her rolling denim backpack.
