Devon & Michelle
Wedding Party
Lara
Bridesmaid
Lara has been a friend of Michelle's since their first year at Bishop's University in Quebec. Their communal love for learning world religions and going through life being far too silly led to a lifelong friendship. After graduating university, Lara jetted off to an archaeological dig in Jordan, while Michelle went to teach Burmese refugees in Thailand. Ever since then, they have remained close long-distance friends.
Niloufar
Bridesmaid
Niloufar and Michelle first met back in grade 6 at Canyon Meadows Elementary School. A whole array of questionable fashion, makeup, and behaviour choices were caught on digital cameras in those days, thank goodness social media was JUST arriving!! Nil and Michelle became roommates for several years in the "Midnapore House" and had a ton of fun sharing the main floor of the house.
Jessica
Bridesmaid
How DID Jess and Michelle first meet? Was it in High School, on the bus ride from Shawnessy? Or was it working at the movie theatre? Well, neither of them are quite sure, but it was definitely one of the 3! Michelle and Jess both worked at "The Coliseum" and would chat high school, music, movies or whatever. Their friend groups soon started mixing, and Jess became a close friend.
Jenni
Bridesmaid
Jenni and Michelle have been friends since high school at Dr. EP Scarlett, where they shared so many memories and fun times. Michelle will always remember the nights hitting up Tequila or The Back Ally with Jenni, because she always made it so much fun. Jenni was always kind, willing to be goofy, and eternally late (haha)!
Naomi
Bridesmaid
Naomi was friends with both her brother and her stepsister before meeting Michelle. But once they met and discovered their mutual love for country music, their friendship was unstoppable! Together, they went to countless concerts, rodeos, and Stampedes. Besides all the good times, Naomi is also always there when you need a shoulder to cry on, an ear to complain to, or a friend to just be there.
Cyla
Bridesmaid
Cyla has a special place for both the bride and groom! Cyla is of course, Devon's older, wiser sister and is also Michelle's future sister-in-law. Cyla has always been so welcoming and has helped make joining Devon's family effortless and fun. Michelle is so lucky to have Cyla joining her wedding party to share this moment with her.
Brian
Father of the Bride
Dad to Michelle and soon to be Father-in-Law to Devon! Brian is skilled at camping, renovating, and pretty much answering all of Michelle's questions about...anything (travelling, house repairs, car problems, and so on and on and on). DO NOT start a debate with this one, just ask his wife how that will go *crying/laughing face*
Wendy
Mother of the Bride
Mother to Michelle and soon to be Mother-in-Law to Devon! Skilled at cooking, hosting childhood birthday parties, and introducing Michelle to pop icons and classic 90s movies. The amount of gestures she uses as she talks will make you think she is Italian!
Mike
Best Man
Here we have Mike, a long time friend of Devon's. They met in grade 9 shop class where one of them tried to sell the other some cannabis...the rest was history. wherever one of them went the other was never far behind and it's been that way ever since. When he's not sporting babies around town, he can be found working in his back yard. Mike always seems to have a project on the go. If he's not working on his own home projects he has been known to lend a hand to friends and family. Payment in beers and laughs always seems to work.
Dillion
Groomsman
Dillion and Devon have known each-other since early elementary school. Dillion always wanted to play soccer with him and his friends. After a few years apart, Dillion came back into Devon's life by chance at the Y.M.C.A. they recognized each-other immediately and have been getting into trouble ever since.
Chris
Groomsman
Chris and Devon have been friends for many years. If you asked either of them how it all started they would both say a late night conversation on a set of bleechers. Beers were likely involved. Most recently the two of them took a trip to Roatan to get their dive certifications. By the time they got home, a new lit passion for diving burned in them both. Again, beers were likely involved.
Colin
Groomsman
Here we have Colin. Colin and Devon's Friendship began in grade 9 drama class. From there it turned into Thursday night Coronas over long talks about life. When Colin isn't tossing tortillas for the Guinness Book of World Records, he enjoys travelling and creating new strange hobbies for himself. It was Devon's first time in Italy when he visited Colin during a University exchange. If it weren't for that experience the couple might not be getting married there.
Wayne
Groomsman
Wayne is Devon's younger brother. When he's not working on his garden or learning about new plants he wants to grow, he can be found in the forest with his dogs, taking in nature. When Devon wanted to get into the cannabis industry, Wayne was the first person he spoke to about it. Today, they work side-by-side growing and processing cannabis products.
Misha
Groomsman
Here we have Misha, Devon's brother in law. Misha and Devon clicked immediately when they met. It could have been their love for snowboarding or drinking and carrying on. At any family function, they can be found in some deep conversation with drinks in hand and smiles on their faces. Sometimes getting into too much trouble for their own good.
Liam
Groomsman
Here we have Liam, another long time friend of Devon's. When he's not popping bottles dressed like a dapper gentleman he can be found at home with a scotch in hand planning his world domination***Taking care of his lovely wife and new born son. Liam and Devon are always the last ones up at a get-together, sipping scotch until the wee hours of the morning. Mike is never far behind.
Heather
Mother of the Groom
Here we have Devon's wonderful mother, Heather. When she's not working, Heather enjoys spending time with her family; always at the lake with her grandsons or hosting barbecues in her back yard. Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting her says how sweet and giving she is, always putting family first. Their family is known for all day events that have--on more occasions then not--turned into all night events too. It's great to see family that likes spending that much time together.
Darwin
Father of the Groom
Here we have Darwin, the father of the groom. Darwin has lived in the US for many years. Starting in California, then Arizona, and finally Tennessee. It was in Arizona where Devon lived with him and they spent time building cars together. Darwin has a passion for music, warm weather, and football. No wonder he is always living in warmer climates.
