Our Wedding

Let’s rewind to 2014. Cameron was a sophomore at Michigan State University, and Ali was a freshman at Central Michigan University. One weekend, Cameron was visiting some friends at CMU, and after a night out, fate intervened. As they were each leaving different parties, they happened to cross paths. A quick conversation led to Cameron asking for Ali’s number—and while they exchanged social media info and became internet friends, the phone number he got ended up being one digit off. Fast forward to 2019: Ali was at a happy hour with coworkers in downtown Royal Oak, and Cameron happened to be there too. He approached her, saying, “Hey, you look really familiar,” and asked for her number—again. This time, he got the right one. It took a few months of Cameron replying to Ali’s social media stories and “planting seeds,” but eventually, they hung out on St. Patrick’s Day 2020—which just so happened to be the last day before the world shut down. From that moment on, they’ve been together ever since. Their relationship didn’t start the traditional way. With everything closed during the pandemic, there were no dinner dates or nights out. Instead, they got to know each other through cozy nights in—hanging out in sweats, ordering takeout, and watching movies and music videos. A few months in, they took a trip to Florida (one of the few places open at the time), and had their first official date—at a restaurant, out of state! From early on, friends would comment on how natural and happy they seemed together. Even strangers would approach them in public to say how in love they looked. After a couple of years, they bought a home in Berkley and moved in together. Then, in September 2023, during a trip to Italy for a friend’s wedding, Cameron got down on one knee and proposed to Ali in Positano on the Amalfi Coast. This April marks five years of love, laughter, and building a life together—and they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you!

Our Story

Photos

Autumn is Ali’s first cousin, but she’s always felt more like a sister. Born just 15 months apart, they’ve been inseparable since the day Autumn arrived. From childhood adventures to life’s biggest milestones, these two have shared it all. They grew up spending summers camping in Mackinac with their families, making up dances and performing them during the holidays, homecomings, college visits, and so much more. Last year, Ali had the honor of standing by Autumn's side as her maid of honor. Now, Ali couldn’t be more excited to have Autumn by her side again—this time as her matron of honor.

Brennan has been Ali's best friend since 7th grade and truly is more like a sister. Brennan and Ali spent almost every day together growing up — from school days to sleepovers, family vacations, and even holidays. She has been there for it all. Her friendship means the world to Ali, and Ali feels so lucky to have Brennan standing next to her on this day.

Brennan Williams

Myla is Ali's baby sister and her biggest blessing.  With 12 years between them, Ali has loved watching Myla grow into the incredible person she is today. She keeps Ali young, makes her laugh, and reminds her what pure joy looks like. Ali is so proud to have her standing by her side on this special day.

Paige and Ali met their freshman year of college at Central Michigan University when they joined the same sorority. They lived together junior and senior year, then shared a house in Royal Oak for a few years after graduation (some of the best years of their life!) Paige has been by Ali's side through life's highs and lows — always with love, support, and a caring heart. Ali is so grateful for their friendship, memories, and to have Paige by her side.

Paige Blythe

Jessica was the third roommate who lived with Paige & Ali in Royal Oak. Before that, they didn't know each other at all — but from the moment they met, they instantly connected and became besties. She was there when Cameron and Ali first met, and has been an incredible friend to the both of them ever since. Ali describes Jessica as the friend she never knew she needed or saw coming, and now she honestly can't imagine life without her. 

Jessica Brochu

Rachel and Ali met freshman year of college when they joined the same sorority. They lived together junior year, senior year, and even a fifth year—because let's be honest, finishing college in four years just wasn’t in the cards for them (and they weren’t ready to leave each other!) Rachel has always been a caring, supportive, and loyal friend, and Ali is so thankful to have her by her side on this special day.

Rachel Pardun

Ali and Brittany (aka Lennox) met freshman year of college when they joined the same sorority. They lived together junior year and for a summer up in Mount Pleasant — where they even shared a bed because Ali was too scared to sleep in the attic alone! Over the years, they've shared so many great times, from boat days and trying new restaurants in Detroit, to working out and going to church together. Brittany's ability to make anything fun is just one of the few reasons Ali loves her so much.

Brittany Lennox

Carla and Ali met in 2019 when Ali started working at Aerotek. They were the only two girls on their team for a while and instantly clicked. From makeup and fashion to TV shows and pop culture, they bonded over everything that makes life more fun (and fabulous). Carla has been like a soul sister to Ali—always there to lift her up, especially on the hardest days. Ali is so thankful for her friendship, her energy, and her big heart.

Carla Campanella

Ali met Megan in 2019 when they started working at Aerotek together. The job was a grind—long hours and tough situations—but going through it all brought them closer. They quickly became more than just coworkers, bonding over shared interests and spending time together outside of work. Megan was always there for Ali during hard times, and that support meant everything. They even went to Bible study together, deepening their friendship in such a meaningful way. Ali is so grateful to have Megan in her life and by her side on this special day.

Megan Palma

Cameron met Tanner back in third grade when Cameron was the new kid in Holt. They clicked instantly, thanks to a shared love of basketball and the same sense of humor. As an only child, Cameron’s always considered Tanner the brother he never had. They’ve been through it all together, so it’s only fitting that Tanner is standing by his side as the best man.

Tanner Beachnau

Cameron first knew of Justin back in high school since they went to nearby schools, but they didn’t actually become friends until college—when Justin went to CMU with some of Cameron’s close buddies. After college, both ended up in the metro Detroit area and started hanging out all the time. They got close quickly, bonding over sports, especially their love for the Lions. The only real flaw in the friendship? Justin’s a die-hard Michigan fan... but Cameron’s learned to accept it. Mostly.

Justin Goodman

Cameron met Andrew aka "Sabrosky" or just "Brow" back in 5th grade when they played on the same basketball team, and they've been close ever since. Whether it was grinding through workouts together in high school or being roommates at MSU, Sabrosky has been a constant presence in Cameron’s life and he's an easy choice for the groomsman lineup.

Andrew Sabrosky

Cameron and Jason go way back—back to middle school football, where their friendship first began. Over the years, they grew closer, especially during high school, and eventually became college roommates at MSU for three unforgettable years. Cameron is grateful to consider Jason one of his best friends!

Jason Daman

Cameron met Sean in 6th grade at a birthday party, and they’ve been close friends ever since. They started a tradition of going to Cedar Point together every year—a streak they proudly kept going until just last year :( From roller coasters to everyday life, Sean’s been a constant source of fun + great memories. He’s been by Cameron’s side for years, and now he’s honored to stand by his side on the big day.

Sean Bulkowski

Cameron met Nick during their first year working at UWM, where they were both part of the BIG program. They quickly became close, eventually buying a condo together in Royal Oak and living as roommates for a few years. After Cameron and Ali had been dating for a bit, he introduced Nick to one of Ali’s friends, Paige—and the rest is history. From coworkers to roommates to lifelong friends, Nick’s been a big part of Cameron’s life ever since.

Nick Czinder

Cameron and Ben both went to MSU — they were in the sales minor together. Both went on to work at UWM, and even though they're on different teams at work, they've stayed close and always find time to catch up. Cameron and Ali were honored to attend Ben’s wedding late last year, and now Cameron is just as honored to have Ben standing with him on his own big day.

Ben Grider

Cameron met Nino while working at UWM, and they clicked right away. Cameron always joked that Nino was “one of the East Side boys” thanks to his St. Clair Shores roots, but what really brought them together was their shared drive to work hard—and have a great time while doing it. Their friendship has only grown deeper over the years. Cameron and Ali had the joy of celebrating Nino and Taylor’s wedding in September 2023, and even more special, Nino and Taylor helped Cameron secretly plan his engagement to Ali with their photographer—a moment the couple will always treasure. Today, Cameron is honored to be the godfather of Nino’s son, Enzo, who also happens to be the ring bearer. Having Nino by his side means the world.

Nino Genna

Cameron and Ali met Paul on a group trip to Nashville in July 2020, and they all instantly hit it off. It was one of those rare friendships that just clicked—from shared interests and values to the same sense of humor. Whether it’s a deep conversation or a spontaneous night out, Paul’s the kind of friend who shows up for it all. Now, neither Cameron nor Ali can imagine life without him.
