We are now bridesmaids in each others weddings and inseparable friends. Heather works as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Practitioner specializing in interventional pain management. Heather loves new adventures and striving to become a real life Disney princess
Guille Van Cruysen
Best Man
Guille and I first met at age 11. We became friends and stayed friends even when Guille moved to Europe a few years later. Guille has always stayed in contact and remained my friend throughout all his worldly travels from Brazil where he was born to Florida where we meet and even onto Europe where he finished school and became a masters graduate of Bath University. Currently living in California he's enjoying the fruits of his labor being able to enjoy surfing, working and still travel the world while always making time to stop in Jacksonville and spend quality time with us. I cannot wait to spend one of, if not the most joyous experiences in my life with him standing by my side.
Calli Zavodney
Bridesmaid
Calli and the bride went to middle and high school together before she moved away to Panama. When Calli returned to start her business as a single mother, her and the bride became strong support systems for one another, much like family. She loves food, music, outdoors, and her babies. The bride is the godmother of Calli's beautiful daughter, Wendy. Calli is the owner and founder of Explore Tours & Pick Up for the historical town of St. Augustine. "Home is where the heart is." ~Calli Zavodney
Patrick Sullivan
Groomsman
Patrick and I first met in early 2011. I was living on my own in Jax Beach looking desperately for a roommate. We hit it off on the very first meeting and immediately decided to move in together. Patrick worked on his degree at UNF while maintaining a full time job and some how surfing every single day whether there were waves in the ocean or not. Patrick eventually moved back to Orlando to finish his degree at Rollins University. I had the pleasure of being his best man at his wedding in Naples, FL and i'm so excited to now get to share that experience with him again in my wedding. Recently moved back to Jacksonville with his wife Risa we are now able to again wake up early and go surf together.
Bridget Hennessy
Bridesmaid
Bridget and the bride were introduced by a mutual friend who said " You guys would love each other and have to meet!" We have been two peas in pod ever since and each others bridesmaids in our weddings. Our love for adventure and being kind to others makes us the happiest of friends. Bridget owns two small businesses and goes on tour this year doing balloon installations in England, Paris, and Amsterdam. "I love all forms of art and meeting new people."
Andrew Schumann
Groomsman
Andrew is my brother and best friend. Growing up he always wanted to hang out with me and my friends. Looking back at our childhood together i'm so appreciative that he wanted to spend so much time with me and being like me. I am so proud of my brother, Andrew is a one of kind human being with many interests and skills hell always be better at than me. He joined the USMC 6 years ago, and has achieved the rank of SGT. He will soon be out officially and i'm so excited for him to start his next chapter in life beginning with being a part of Genna and I's wedding day. I cant think of a better way to celebrate his long Marine Corp journey than escaping to a tropical paradise with us!
Hannah Rullo
Bridesmaid
I meet Hannah in St Augustine through Bridget Hennessy and it was instant connection. Every event I went to I would run into Hannah, she was so sweet and genuine. I would find myself talking, laughing and having a huge feeling of happiness’s when spending time with her. Hannah is an attorney at law, graduated top of her class from Flagler college and is a self proclaimed “professional at parallel parking”. Hannah has been inspiring to me through all of my school challenges, motivating me at each pass to keep on going and to never give up. I can’t wait to spend more time together as we settle into our professional careers and continue to be life long friends.
Michael Barber
Groomsman
Mike and I meet in early 2013, I worked at Firehouse subs and he worked at Broudy’s liquor conveniently located next to each other. He loved subs and I loved 90min IPA’s it was a match made in heaven, discretely trading one for another with each other. The first time I picked up Mike to come share a few IPAs after a long day of work I had “Forgot about Dre” blasting and Mike broke out in the most surprising yet absolutely perfect freestyle. I had no words, was stunned, from there on every day we hung out was a new free style with some originals mixed up by my good friend and roommate Power nap Pat (shout out to Patrick). Mike is the life of the party in every occasion, he’s funny, intelligent, witty and and absolute blast to spend time talking life, sports, music and anything wine! Mike has pursued a career in sales becoming a wine Sommelier and loves what he does. If you ever have the opportunity to go to one of his tastings do it! You’ll learn a lot, laugh even more and be asking when the next one is, not to mention going home with a few bottles… at your expense of course. I can’t wait to have Mike celebrate Genna and I’s love for one another in beautiful Costa Rica.
