Aleah & Brian
Wedding Party
Kelsey Pape
Maid of Honor
I met Kels in college and immediately felt like I'd known her my whole life. Kelsey is someone I've always aspired to be like - she is kind-hearted, selfless and always knows how to cheer me up. Kels will be 1 year away from being a doctor in May and I can't wait to call her my maid of honor (and hopefully one day my doc)!
Justin Hoffmeyer
Best Man
This guy's been around for the long haul. It feels like we've done everything together. He is the adventurous type, and we've been mountain biking, snowboarding, camping, on road trips out west, and out hiking the Keweenaw. Add being Best Man to each other's lists and I can't think of anyone who deserves it more.
Jade Thompson
Bridesmaid
Jade is the little sis I've always wanted but never had! She has been such a huge part of our relationship thus far and I can't imagine our wedding without her!
Jason Chang
Groomsman
When I first met Aleah's brother Jason he was skeptical but I soon won him over with common interests in bourbon and hunting. I'm excited to call him my brother and, as much as he might not want to admit it, I think he is too.
Cailey Guercio
Bridesmaid
Cailey and I go way back to middle school! She has shown me what being a lifelong friend really means. By the time our wedding rolls around Cai will be a doctor graduating from Emory's med school.
Paul Willar
Groomsman
After transferring to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, I met this guy as we both had brothers in Pi Kapps fraternity. Initially, we were both on the fence about joining but we decided to do it together and I'm glad we did. We ended up being roommates and the rest is history.
Patricia Checinski
Bridesmaid
Patty and I met before we started medical school together and I can't imagine going through these past four years without her. She's the gal that is always ready for new adventures & brings so much life to every experience! I can't wait to graduate with you in May!
Austin Ansingh
Groomsman
Austin moved to Houghton when we were in high school and, unsurprisingly, he was accepted quickly. A stud on the basketball court and an all-around generous personality (he'd give you the shirt off his back), we've been best friends ever since.
