Andrea & Tom
Wedding Party
Janice D'Amour
Mother of the Bride
My mom is the best mom and soon-to-be mother-in-law that we could ask for! She is the life of the party and always ready to help out her family. She is incredibly strong, caring, and dependable. Thank you for everything you do for us and for being such an amazing mom! We love you!
Michael D'Amour
Father of the Bride
Dad, thank you so much for everything that you do for us! You're an incredible dad and soon-to-be father-in-law. Not only have you recently helped fix up our house (be sure to ask him about all of his projects - with the highlight being our new shoe molding), you've been there for us since day one. We love you!
MaryAnne Flanigan
Mother of the Groom
My mom is one of the best people I know. She is always so supportive and loving. She is also incredibly brave and stronger than anyone realizes. She consistently put her children before herself, even when it was no doubt very difficult. Without you, I would not be half the man I am today. We love you, Mom!
Mike O'Donohue
Officiant
My brother Mike is never one to shy away from...well, anything. He once placed second in a corn-eating contest (he was robbed of the victory). He is quite literally the strongest person I know, and you know you are in a good place if Mike has your back. I owe a lot to Mike. For example, going back just a few years, Mike (and Tanim) encouraged me to start swimming and put me in my first 100 breaststroke at our Blue and White Meet. I have tried to be as determined as him ever since.
Ashley D'Amour
Maid of Honor
Ashley is the best sister a gal could ask for. She's incredibly smart, sassy, and a great dog mom to Sadie! Even though she's younger than me I look up to her in many ways. She's extremely loyal to her friends and family, and usually willing to lend a helping hand. Her and Tom were able to bond over their love for triathlons (Ashley is currently Tri Club President!) As my favorite sister I knew she'd make an amazing maid of honor. We couldn't imagine this day without you by our side Ash!
Bradley Bielicki
Best Man
As someone who played a large role in introducing the bride and groom, Bradley earned his place as best man! He went from being another quiet kid on the bus, to the guy I would go to Walgreen's, Taco Bell, Speedway, and Tim Horton's with on a near daily basis--all in the blink of an eye. Like Tom, he found a love for triathlons. In fact, one of the greatest (read: strangest) love stories of our generation is none other than that between Bradley and his bike, Quin. Feel free to ask him for pictures, he no doubt has plenty.
Julia Lutz
Maid of Honor
Juju - what a gal. She's been by my side since 7th grade and I wouldn't want it any other way! We've been through everything together, from singing math songs in our AP Calc talent show (ask her about it - I'm sure she'd love to recreate the performance!) to being terrified in Arkansas on the foggy crooked roads. She's someone I love going through life with and I know that she's a forever friend. Julia is spontaneous, artsy, and always sticking up for her friends. Thank you for being my best friend and maid of honor!
Tim O'Donohue
Groomsman
Being my twin brother, Tim really got the SHORT end of the stick (sorry). He still talks about how I almost killed him in the womb, but I was just hungry...I guess some things never change. Truth be told, I never really liked to be a twin all that much, and we had more than our fair share of fights, but I am proud of who we have each become. Tim, even more than anyone else, has been there since day one. Even though I am the older twin, I still have a lot I can learn from Tim.
Teresa O'Donohue
Bridesmaid
Teresa is the kindest and most caring person that we know! She always puts others first and we're so lucky to have her in our lives. I know that we can count on Teresa with absolutely anything. I look up to Teresa and think of her as an older sister. Who knew that the intimidating older swimmer at Burton Hollow would end up being in our wedding one day! Even though she likes olives, we couldn't imagine this day without her. We love you sis!
Shane O'Donohue
Groomsman
The oldest of my three brothers, Shane has always been a leader and inspiration. His level-headedness, confidence, and outgoing personality are things I can only strive for. Shane is someone you can always go to for advice. He is also a PA focusing in Urology, which means you can also reach out to him if you are having a specific set of problems. Urine for a real treat if you get to know Shane! Seriously though, he has all the makings to be a great medical professional, just like he is a great brother.
Anna Kendall
Bridesmaid
ANNA! Who knows where I'd be if you didn't live down the hall from me freshman year. I was lucky enough to be your roomie for three years and I don't know what I'd do without you! From Cabin and sushi Wednesdays (not a good combo) to last minute trips to Vegas Anna has been there through it all. She knows how to have a good time whether we're stuck inside from a blizzard making snow margs or downtown on a Thursday night. Anna is incredibly smart, funny, and down-to-earth. We're so lucky to have you standing by our side on our big day!
Brandon Bielicki
Groomsman
Brandon is a great friend, husband, and father. More importantly, he is a great team member for any Fortnite squad or clan in Clash of Clans. That's about as cool as it gets. He's got the lame dad jokes, but he also has a classy side. Just look at those shades! He's a really caring person, too. Fun fact: Brandon once came over to my house unannounced just to support me and convince me not to drop out of my (at the time) Computer Science major. I pretty much immediately dropped my classes, but that shows the kind of person he is, and it always meant a lot to me.
Meghan Knorp
Bridesmaid
Meggo! Somehow Meghan was able to put up with me as a roommate throughout all 4 years at CMU. She's incredibly thoughtful, caring, and going to be an amazing lawyer one day (ask her how much fun law school is!) Meghan is also the craftiest person I know; she once spent DAYS decorating our freshman dorm for Christmas all with handmade decorations. Meghan and I share a love for shopping, and will never leave TJ Maxx empty-handed. Fun fact: we've been asked if we're twins more times than I can count! I couldn't imagine this day without her by our side.
Dan Hartlep
Groomsman
My man Dan is someone I look up to. When I tried out for the high school soccer team as a freshman, Dan was an upperclassman. There were whispers among other freshmen about a guy with huge calves. That was Dan, and I had the honor of saying that he was my friend. Unfortunately, this was not enough to help me make the team...Anyway, Dan is adventurous and thoughtful. Back when he worked at Jimmy John's, he would stop by my house just to deliver free loaves of bread. When someone goes out of their way to bring you bread, that's when you know not to let them out of your life. Here we are.
Rachel Spellman
Bridesmaid
My adventure buddy, a true party animal, and the funniest person I know. From backpacking through New Zealand to bar hopping in Italy Rachel has always had my back. I know that I can count on her to be there no matter what. I'm so grateful that CMU brought me to her. Rachel loves keeping track of the embarrassing things I say and trying to teach me how to dance. She is incredibly loyal and I would trust her with anything. We're so lucky to have a friend like her!
Tanim Islam
Groomsman
I have looked at Tanim as a brother for many years. During high school, he was always there--playing video games, working out, doing homework, or just hanging out. He is a hilarious person and the life of the party. Still, underneath all of that, he is someone who cares deeply about others. Just trying to be like Tanim helped me gain confidence in myself. Many times when we get together, our competitive natures come out. Anyone who knows Tanim is lucky to be able to call him a friend.
