Wedding Party
Cherith Brooke Pilong
Maid of Honor
Despite being 6 years younger, my baby sister isn’t such a baby any more! She’s been my best girl since day 1 and I couldn’t dream up a better sister if I tried!
Brandon Entwistle
Best Man
Michael’s oldest friend, whom he’s known since birth. (Brandon’s Mom was even Michael’s Mother Patty’s birth coach for Michael) Brandon and Michael grew up going to church together and shared a love of volleyball, disc golf, and games on any court or of any sort! They remain the best of friends despite being oceans apart.
Nicole O'Neill
Bridesmaid
My soon to be sister in law! First one ever! Technically she’s Michael’s younger sister but come May, we all know who her favorite sibling will be.
Jeremy O'Neill
Groomsman
Michael’s younger brother and general goofball of the family. Michael asked for a brother and got more than he asked. They share a love of sports and general mischief.
Hannah Pilong
Bridesmaid
It all started in 1993. We were cousins, and not much has changed! Hannah is one of my 30+ cousins but has always been more than just a cousin, she’s been a friend since the day we were born :)
CJ Pilong
Groomsman
Lindsay’s Brother and Michael’s soon to be brother-in-law. Michael got approval so, win there. Michael and CJ get along well and enjoy chilling together playing videogames or watching sports. Although their loyalties are to different cities, they can be civil while watching each other’s teams. Thank goodness they met after the 2017 Football season though!
Bailey Geary
Bridesmaid
Bailey and I lived through 3 simultaneously wonderful and extremely difficult years co-teaching at Tucker High School. Through our shared faith and love of gilmore girls and books, we turned into out of the classroom wonderful friends!
Paul Davis
Groomsman
Cousins and friends! Michael and Paul grew up as the closest in age male cousins on their mother’s sides. Paul and Michael have done everything together, from skateboarding when they were kids, to driving 10 hours overnight to a Red Sox Championship Parade, to singing Karaoke while out with some ladies in their younger single days! Paul and Michael even shared a room for a while on Park Avenue after both making their way down to Richmond, VA.
Katherine Brown
Bridesmaid
From running, to “running” (aka walking and chatting), to traveling the world, to rock climbing, to so much more, Katherine and my friendship has been another great joy to come from my time teaching at Tucker.
John Davis
Groomsman
Michael’s cousin and friend! John and Michael enjoy playing disc golf together and have always had shared hobbies throughout the years. They’ve always discovered something new to get interested in together, laughing and having fun along the way.
Samantha Ravn
Bridesmaid
Throwing it back to Handley High School, Sam and I have been friends for over a decade! From celebrating our sweet 16 together in Baltimore, here we are at another celebration that just wouldn’t be complete without her!
Matt Drabenstott
Groomsman
Matt and Michael met in 2009, but didn’t become great friends until Matt moved to Richmond in 2014. Matt and Michael enjoy a good whiskey, a long chat, or a tiring walk in the woods together. Generally just have a ton of laughter and are always on an adventure.
Seth Wubbels
Groomsman
Michael met Seth in 2012, as they both moved to Richmond at just around the same time! They quickly vibed with one another and actually ended up working together for several employers! Seth was even Michael’s Boss once. Michael actually ended up quitting that job to catch the Red Sox playoff run and go the championship parade with Paul! Michael and Seth both truly found themselves in Richmond and benefitted from having each other along the way!
