Best Man
While the role of Best Man comes with a lot of responsibilities, I can't think of anyone else better suited for the job than Casey. After graduating from Texas A&M with his PhD in Aerospace Engineering, he went to work at NASA Langly in Virginia. He's got Jimmy Neutron levels of intelligence but is also quick to make you laugh with his dry sense of humor. I couldn't be prouder of all he's accomplished, and I'm honored to have him as a little brother.
Maid of Honor
From long summer days playing together in the backyard to traveling across the world together, there is no better person who I would choose to have by my side. My sister has been one of my closest friends my entire life and is one of the most creative, unique and giving people I know.
Groomsman
Michael is my youngest brother and, not to be outdone, is close to completing his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Quinnipiac University. To say I've known him his entire life would be...completely correct. He's navigated life with a quiet determination that's both fierce and admirable, and I'm so excited to see all he will accomplish in life!
Bridesmaid
By sheer happenstance Marley made a connection with someone associated with Frost Valley YMCA and the day she moved in I was there to greet her and help her get aquainted with her new home. Fast foreward through surviving being adventure trip leaders to jumping into new careers and moving across the country, our friendship has held steadfast and I cant imagine this day without her. Although she lives in Colorado now I am always happy when she calls to tell me she is coming east for a visit with her family.
Groomsman
Paul and I met in middle school by joining a bowling league together. No, it wasn't the 1970s. And no, to my knowledge, neither of us had at that time ever heard of The Big Lebowski. My middle and high school nights were often spent walking to and from his house, and I couldn't have asked for a better friend growing up. I'm thrilled to have my best childhood friend here with me as one of my groomsmen!
Bridesmaid
I met DC at Frost Valley when we started working the fall of 2015 where we became fast friends. Even after we both left the valley, we remained close - she even joined me on my cross-country road trip, willing to travel thousands of miles in my beat-up Mazda to see some of the country's natural wonders. I'm so happy to have her here as one of my bridesmaids in the place where it all began!
Groomsman
Ken and I met in college in a philosophy class working on a project and didn't realize until later we were actually pursuing the same degree. The environmental science program at Ithaca College was a tight knit group, so our friendship was quick and has lasted since! Ken's humor and impeccable taste in music means we always have a good time, and I can't wait to have him with me as one of my groomsmen!
Bridesmaid
Casey and I also met in the fall of 2015 at - you guessed it - Frost Valley. Casey has lived and worked in more places across the country than I can even remember, but through it all we've remained close friends. Even if it was only for an hour or two, we'd find time among our busy lives to meet and catch up, and I've always valued our friendship. I can't wait to have her with me as one of my bridesmaids!
Ring Bearer
My name is Nova. I am a three-year-old Shiba Inu, Lhasa Apso, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu mix. I joined the family in July of 2020 as a 10-week-old puppy and have effectively taken over my parents' lives ever since. I am excited to be the ring bearer for my parents' wedding. You can win my heart with a ball and a Greenie. I can't wait to meet you!
