Anya Derbakova

Best Woman

Anya and Caitlin have been friends since Caitlin's first day of soccer tryouts 20 years ago at NCSSM. With the infamous first words: Here feel my abs! Being, the weirdest ones around, they instantly bonded and made a lifelong friendship. Their friendship spanned their teenage years running around a beach house screaming inappropriate things to going to mid 30s running around a Mexican all inclusive screaming inappropriate things.

Dan Lock

Best Man

Dan and Pat both met back in 2008 while both coaching soccer for UK Elite Soccer, with it being Pat’s first year in the US…I don’t think we’d have guessed then, that we would all (Pat, Dan and Matt) be stood at Pat’s wedding together. Dan, Sheffield born, begrudgingly took Pat under his wing in his first years in Seattle; possibly from Pat’s pestering and annoyance, a great friendship happened…Pat’s also full aware Dan will hate this paragraph! He can blame Caitlin

Jess Kunkler Shaw

Bridesmaid

Jess, aka Hayley Striker, and Caitlin met as roommates in NY 13 years ago and thank god they got along in such as small apartment. Caitlin and Jess had a standing Sunday afternoon dim sum date and movie night that cannot be topped. They are indeed not muppet, they are woman.

Matt Dorman

Best Man

Matt and Pat also met in their first year with UK Elite Soccer, in which a certain Sea Isle trip is fondly remembered! Matt and Pat grew closer when Matt moved to Seattle from Maryland and had the pleasure of living with Pat…and seeing his eating habits (with hot pockets being a staple). There’s definitely some stories that Matt has from this time (which he’s expecting some in the speech) Pat was able to see Matt grow with his eventual family and now being a proud father of 2! “And the inspiration……”

Courtney Roth

Bridesmaid

Courtney and Caitlin met freshman year of college. Without Caitlin, Courtney would never have been unhappily wrapped in a burrito blanket,dragged away from her super smash bros game, and force fed breakfast at 4pm. Their friendship is almost as old as dasha loaf magoaf.

Alex Liddell

Groomsman

Alex had moved to Seattle and ended up working / living with Pat. There’s lots of fond memories from this time and some things that started a great friendship (music / Les Mis and certain song that Alex wrote : If you ask kindly, he may give you a rendition). Pat had the pleasure of being at Alex’s wedding, seeing him marry his wife Jenn and has since seen him build his beautiful family!

Nina Hill

Bridesmaid

Nina, Pat's sister who frankly looks much younger than Pat, and Caitlin first met when Pat brought Caitlin home to England for Christmas. Nina was very welcoming and on her best behavior as not to scare away Caitlin, but that didn't last very long, and Caitlin learned just how fun and happy a new family can be.

Chris Hill

Groomsman

Pat has has the pleasure of growing up with his sister being married to a great guy and seeing how good of a father he is to Ellissa, Amelia and Freya…it also helps that he is a Liverpool fan! He definitely has to put up with a lot being part of the Staunton family but Pat is proud to have him as a brother in law.

Morgan Sharp

Bridesmaid

Morgan is Caitlin's sister-in-law who quickly became friends and not just family. She was the older sister Caitlin never had. Morgan has helped Caitlin to see that a relationship with a stubborn Blaisdell can be successful. Morgan is an incredible mother and friend.

Kyle Rodeheaver

Groomsman

Kyle had the pleasure of getting to know Pat when he hired him as a coach in his program at Seattle United…later stating “it was the best hire I’ve ever made!” That statement may or may not actually have been said. They had an initial bond over their love of a certain TV show based in Orange County, CA…which still to this day, Caitlin says is weird.

Ellissa Hill

Junior Bridesmaid

Ellissa is Pat's oldest niece and soon to be teenager. Caitlin is so lucky to have a new niece who is the sweetest older sister, and a good role model in her family.

Amelia Hill

Jr. Groomswoman

Amelia is Pat's second oldest niece and an avid soccer fan. She has a special bond with her Uncle and will be standing on his side for moral support. If there's a Liverpool game on that day, you'll find her along with Pat sneaking away to watch.

Quinn Blaisdell

Flower Girl

Quinn is Caitlin's niece is very excited to have new British cousins. She is a ball of creativity and an artist and will likely place all of the flowers perfectly in a design.

Avery Blaisdell

Flower Girl

Avery is Caitlin's niece and will have been doing research about England in anticipation of meeting her new cousins. Ask her anything, she's a wealth of knowledge.

Freya Hill

Flower Girl

Freya is Pat's youngest niece and a little ray of sunshine. She is a natural performer and will likely create a unique performance with Quinn and Avery for us all to watch.

Morgan Blaisdell

Officiant

Morgan is Caitlin's much older brother, he has promised to keep the hazing during the ceremony at a minimum. We'll just have to see about that. Caitlin is so proud of the brother and father he has become. Pat can't wait to have another brother, even if he is a Manchester United fan.
