Matron of Honor
Amy has been Tory's best friend for the past 15 years, and after making it through that, she has a very well deserved place as the Matron of Honor. Lucky for us, Amy married Jeff’s best friend, Aaron, and not long after that came our Ring Bearer, Levon. We are so excited to have another nephew that will be born shortly before the wedding! And as a bonus, she just happens to be one of the best people to have around if you need help planning something.
Best Man
Aaron and Jeff have been best friends since middle school. Aaron's always been by Jeff's side through everything they've been through growing up. Whether Aaron is complementing Jeff's story-telling skills or Jeff is complementing Aaron's "dad-laugh," one thing is always certain, there's bound to be laughter and cold beers. There's no doubt that Aaron has and will always be Jeff's Best Man.
Maid of Honor
Savannah is Tory's little sister and having met Jeff when she was 6 years old, they were able to develop a bond like siblings over the years that is so wholesome. She keeps everything exciting and is the funniest person we know. She is the best Auntie to Gunner, Nelly, and Spike and our life would not be the same without her always around. Her presence is well known because you'll hear her yell JOOGA! BRUG! or TUTU! anytime she is calling for us. Ask her which era she's in. Don't ask for her Mom's nickname. And last but not least, she is notorious for coming into our room and farting before she says goodnight.
Groomsman
Andrew is definitely the jokester in this group. His impersonations and quick wit can make anyone laugh. When he's not cracking jokes, he's cracking cases. No, not the cold ones found at the local packie, but the ones that action movies and TV dramas try to recreate. Pretty soon Tom Cruise will be playing him in a movie role.
Bridesmaid
Megan is such a kind-hearted and caring friend who never hesitates to help when you need it or to reach out to check in and ask how you are doing. She is also very understanding when you don't text her back for three days which is very important because Tory forgets...a lot. When she came into our lives we were not only grateful to gain her as our friend but also very glad that Tony found himself such a catch. Over the years, Meg has been there to keep Tory company while she avoided the crowd at busy gatherings, and to tolerate Jeff every time he says "shut up Meg" in a Peter Griffin voice. Also very important to mention, Tory and Meg are the best team at axe throwing, no matter what the score sheet says (a rematch is in order).
Groomsman
Big T (as some call him) has been a childhood friend of Jeff's. Him, along with his two brothers Phil and Andrew, have been like a second family to Jeff. Big T enjoys fishing, fitness and has never seen a mirror he didn't like. If you can't find him at the gym or on a golf course, you'll find him at home cuddling his cats with his fiancee, Meg.
Bridesman
Tory met Billy when she started working at Pet-icure in early 2020. They both share a passion for dogs and photography, have a mutual understanding of dark humor, and once had a Spotify playlist titled "Just a Couple Punks with a Collab Playlist" (that has become pretty neglected). Tory and Jeff were brought together at a Warped Tour stage, and Billy is the friend that gets what it was like to be the emo kid, and we appreciate that.
Groomsman
Phil is the eldest of the Sepe brothers, but you wouldn't know it by looking at him. Phil enjoys picking heavy things up and putting them down. Some say, they've never seen Phil and Captain America in the same room. Coincidence? If he's not busy working, he's probably lost in the woods by a campfire with a cold one in hand. Phil's been an EMT, a police officer and now Jeff's back up on his wedding day.
Bridesmaid
We met Sarah at a bonfire a few years back and little did we know that a few years later she would be living with us during one of the most difficult years for a lot of us. If your friendship can endure a 2020 lockdown and being together 24/7, then you know it's a lifelong one. Sarah is the kind of friend that will support you in every way and will be there to hype you up through any adventure that you choose to take. She also might easily be Tory's biggest fan when it comes to her photography. We gained another best friend when she brought Andrew into our lives and they will both be standing by us on our wedding day, just as they do every day.
Groomsman
Although Christopher (aka "Dude") is Tory's brother, he has always been a brother to Jeff too. They spend a lot of time getting coffee together, gaming and talking about hockey. Dude and Jeff play Modern Warfare like it's their jobs and Jeff is the distraction, while Dude racks up all the points. It was a no brainer to have Dude standing with Jeff as a groomsman on the wedding day.
Groomsman
Ever since Andrew, a.k.a. "Chaboi Andy" was introduced to us, he has always been a kind heart and a thoughtful friend. His smile and laugh can light up a whole room. Chaboi and Jeff share a love of music that would make most people run for safety. He is an expert guitarist, exquisite game enthusiast and has a keen taste for crafty brews. Jeff is honored to have Andrew by his side.
Bridesmaid
Sarah is Jeff's sister. Most people would describe her as a free spirit and an adventurous person. Whether it's traveling through national parks or hitting the slopes in the Rocky Mountains, Sarah's always up to something new. Sarah and Tory also share a passion for photography. Sarah would like to let everyone know she has sworn off any and all adult beverages, so if you catch her with a drink at the wedding, she owes you a dollar.
Ring Bearer
Levon brings so much joy, laughter, and light into our lives. He is definitely the reason that we started "Coffee Sundays." A group of us said we would all get together for coffee every week, but really we were getting together to see the best little baby around. He's gotten so big since all of that started, and we can't believe he is already big enough to walk down the aisle as our Ring Bearer! Special thanks to Amy and Aaron for creating such a cool little human.
Flower Girl
Aubrey (aka Ooby) has been Savannah's best friend since they were little. We have watched as she grew up into someone who dresses way cooler than us. Ooby makes us laugh and matches our crazy energy. She isn't afraid to be her goofy self around us and is always up for a fun car ride jam session. And she is always understanding when the only vegetarian options in our house are pretty boring, but she will tell us it "slays" anyways.
