Courtney & Michael
Wedding Party
Alexis Wheatley
Co Maid of Honor
My younger sister and conveniently getting a degree in hospitality management, so she doubles as an extra wedding planner.
Andrew Cerrato
Best Man
Best big brother I could ever ask for! Andrew is a very talented chef, although he has been instructed he's not allowed to cook at the wedding.
Val Wheatley
Co Maid of Honor
My sister-in-law and travel companion for about 9 years. From cage diving with sharks in Hawaii to camping in the Moroccan desert, we have seen a lot of the world together!
Marlon Brevé
Groomsman
Marlon is my childhood best friend. We were neighbors at EARTH in Costa Rica and we were always really close. Marlon went off to college at Duke University (too smart for his own good) at the same time I went to JU and we have always kept that childhood friendship.
Annie Infantino
Bridesmaid
Annie and I met my first year of college and after that there was rarely a Friday or Saturday (or Thursday) night we weren’t by each others side.
Daniel Flores
Groomsman
Daniel is my closest cousin, he is originally from Honduras and we always have an epic time when we hang out! He always sees the best of any situation and can turn a dull moment into a great time anyway.
Danny Jaek
Bridesman
Danny and I were in the same PSP (honor frat…. nerd alert!) pledge class together. We became friends in college but best friends after… now we have a couple of wine club memberships together and live in the same apartment building.
Gabriel Plaz
Groomsman
Gabriel and I met our freshman year of college at JU. We roommates sophomore thru senior year and always had a blast (fighting over the AC). Gabe currently lives in Spain and we've have been really good friends ever since we graduated. I get to see Gabe while he visits the USA or I go to Spain and its always like the old days!
Sam Mogul
Bridesmaid
We met when Sam was a flight attendant at ExpressJet and I was a pilot. She thought I hated her, and that I was super weird because I was talking about the zombie apocalypse book I was reading at the time. Despite that rocky start she became one of my very best friends and we survived regional flying life (and terrible boyfriends) together.
Michael Beattie
Groomsman
Mr. Beattie and I were classmates at JU, and after graduation we got an apartment and he was my roommate for 2 years. Lots of good memories, fun nights and burnt carpets on Monument Road!
Melinda Hallam
Bridesmaid
We have known each other since we were about 5. We have been in dance recitals, weddings, band concerts, pretty much everything together… our families are very close and there are countless childhood memories with this amazing women!
Brent Knoblauch
Groomsman
Brent was an upperclassman at JU, and we all thought he was very serious. That all changed one spring day in Terre Heuteeeeee! After graduating college, we worked for the same regional Airline, and shared an apartment in Houston, TX. Ohhh the stories of Kingwood! Good times Señoor!
Josh Grube
Bridesman
Simies for life! Josh and I met in new hire training at ExpresJet and became simulator partners. That means we basically spent all day everyday with each other for 6 weeks. That created an unbreakable bond that I couldn’t be happier about.
Mike Todd
Groomsman
Mike and I were college friends, we were both in the aviation program at JU. I remember Mike was always trying to get me to listen to country music and I hated it. Oldest story I remember of Mike was a trip to Cancun in 2010 and trying to ride a jetski into the ocean after A LOT of drinking. It was not successful but it was a lot of fun. Mike live in the same complex after graduation, shared an apartment in Kingwood with Brent, Joey, Beattie and Kelly!! Mike left us for 4 years to go to Dubai and he's finally back!!
Nick Wheatley
Officiant
Nick is one of Courtney's older brothers and he was also the first family member that Michael met. We have traveled the world with Nick and his wife Val (Co-Maid of Honor). Nick taught Michael everything he knows about putting up with your significant other wanting to take 1 million pictures and in return Michael is their unofficial instagram promoter (#wanderingwheatleys). Nick has known us from the beginning of our relationship and has seen our love grow over time. We can't think of anyone that knows us better and has seen us during our best moments, as well as those more tense moments in life (just ask Michael about spending a month in Myanmar.. )
Joey Collura
Groomsman
Joey and I were in the same graduating class at JU and we had a lot of the classes together. We were usually on the same lessons throughout flight training. After graduating, we lived in the same apartment complex. We became close friends after our trip to Amsterdam our senior year in College, were we got to experience what it was like to watch a final of the World Cup that The Netherlands was playing. Definitely a lot of fun!
