Our Wedding Party
Officiant
Eddie (Orphi) Hammack - Officiant
Eddie is a long-time friend and confidant of Jay. From their first time playing Overwatch to their first hug war (Jay totally won), Jay wouldn't want anyone else officiating his wedding. Eddie (Orphi) will be leading Amy and Jay’s Handfasting ceremony as well as other ceremonial duties.
emcee ceremonious
Lyle White - emcee ceremonious
Lyle is Amy's brother-in-law (Tricia's husband) and Amy and Jay couldn't imagine a more perfect person to act as their emcee ceremonious person! Amy has spent many a family gathering laughing at Lyle's jokes as well as engaging in deep philosophical and intellectual debates with him. He's sure to both entertain as well as make the evening incredibly special as Amy and Jay join bonds in matrimony.
Amy's Matron of Honor
Tricia White - Matron of Honor
Amy considers Tricia to be her sister, soul friend, and one of the loveliest persons she knows (both inside and out). Though a few years separate them in age, this has not been a deterrent to their many, many happy and silly shenanigans over the years. Most of Amy's fondest memories include Tricia and so Amy couldn't fathom creating memories at her wedding without Tricia there by her side to support her as her Matron of Honor.
Amy's Bridesmaids
Alana Black - Bridesmaid
Even though they moved within the same social circles in their high school years, it wasn't until their adulthood that Amy and Alana really had the opportunity to form a strong bond. Through this bond, Amy gained in Alana an excellent confidant who always knows how to make her laugh with her wit (and witticisms) and her charm. Whenever Amy needs girl time, Alana is always her first call. So without a doubt, when Amy decided to get married, she knew she needed her girl, Alana, by her side.
Sarah Putnam - Bridesmaid
Amy met Sarah through her family... but she quickly became one of her favorite people. Family events always include Sarah and Amy's wedding is no exception! Sarah is not only a wise soul, but she is also incredibly fun to be around and makes life seem better somehow (she might be magic). Amy is so grateful that Sarah will stand up with her on her wedding day!
Rachel Wilmans - Bridesmaid
Not only is Rachel one of the prettiest persons you'll ever meet in real life... she's also often an amazing sounding board for Amy. Rachel is in many ways Amy's partner in crime at work; Amy couldn't get through the year, much less a day, without her. So, of course, Amy couldn't imagine getting married without Rachel by her side!
Andrea Exley - Bridesmaid
Often the voice of reason in their many adventures, Andrea is Amy's oldest friend... from sleepovers and elementary school days, to college and motherhood... Andrea has been there for all of Amy's milestones! Amy is so grateful that Andrea will be there for this wedding milestone as well!
Katie Wotachek - Bridesmaid
While Amy's cousin, Katie is more like a sister to Amy. They've shared too many memories to count and have always relied on each other when it mattered most. Amy thinks of Katie as her heart-sister and is therefore so excited she'll have Katie to stand by her side on her wedding day.
Jay's Best Man
Doug Bunyea - Best Man
Doug and Jay met on Discord through a common friend back in 2016. Unlike other Jay’s other friendships, this one wasn’t founded on a love of anime (maybe a little), but instead on a common taste in music and constant jokes... not to mention his constant enabling of Jay to do “risky” plays during Jay's gameplay.
Jay's Groomsmen
Rachel McCulloch - Groomsman
Jay’s oldest friend and oldest gaming partner. Personally responsible for Jay’s love of cats and ridiculous internet memes.
Daniel Shewbridge - Groomsman
Rachel’s brother and Jay’s second longest friend, Dan has been there to both support Jay and tease the hell out of him. He's the second person responsible for Jay’s love of cats and internet memes. Dan can often be seen talking to Jay about anime and Pokémon stats.
Brad Rattenni - Groomsman
Jay and Brad go back to their cart-pushing days at Walmart. Brad and Jay share a common love anime and their point of view on cats. Although lately life has gotten in the way, you could often catch Brad and Jay hanging out (watching anime) at Brad's apartment, whilst gorging themselves on pizza.
Louis Albano - Groomsman
Jay first met up with Louis through a common friend on Discord and the game Overwatch. Louis and Jay share a love of masochistic games, food, (and you guessed it) anime. Louis is Jay’s purplest friend and also doesn’t smell…
Mike Gazzola - Groomsman
Another of Jay’s long-time friends. Unlike Jay’s other discord friends, their bond was founded on food and their competitive nature (also a mutual love of Pokémon). Mike has also always provided great insight to Jay.
Ron Graves - Groomsman
Graves was one of the first welcoming faces when Jay was introduced to the Discord server. Jay and Graves share a similar upbringing which may explain a lot of their inside jokes. They could also be seen exchanging songs late into the night. Jay considers Graves a lifelong friend as well as his other Discord friends.
