Our Engagement As Told By Enya

Our Story

Photos

Enya has known Rebecca since the 3rd grade and though they only attended school together for about a year and a half, they consistently wrote letters to each other and have been good friends since. She has been a strong support and inspiration for Enya throughout most of her life and is someone she loves and relies on like a sister. Now Rebecca is happily married to Dan Feldhacker and works as the Director of Youth Ministry at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.

Rebecca Feldhacker

Enya met Charlie and their husband Connor for the first time at collage orientation (fun fact this is also when Connor and Charlie first met)and became fast friends. They shared many classes together, did theater together, and studied together so there was scarcely a day they didn't see each other during the school year. Charlie has been a true friend since the day they met and is always openmind and ready to listen even when times are tough.

Charlie Cummiskey 

Enya met Connor and their wife Charlie for the first time at collage orientation (fun fact this is also when Connor and Charlie first met)and became fast friends. They shared many classes together, did theater together, studied together and worked together so they had a lot of time to goof off together. Connor is a very reliable friend to Enya and is always someone who is good to play games with and talk with.

Connor Cummiskey 

Kirsten is Adam's older sister. As children they definitely didn't agree on everything and had their fare share of quarrels they always had fun playing games together, such as Crash Team Racing and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer board game. Today they get along great.

Paige is Adam's younger sister. Paige has always been a very focused person who through hard work and determination has become a PA today.

Ross is one of Enya's younger brothers and is someone she respects and admires. Even if they didn't always get along, as siblings often don't, they spent many hours growing up playing games together having fun and enjoying each others company. Today, Ross and his girlfriend Bailey have an expansive boardgame and videogame collection and are always up for playing games and hanging out whenever Enya and Adam visit. When not hanging out and playing games Ross is a Learning Management Systems Implimentation Specialist and Bailey is a Specimen Processing Training Specialist,  both working for Exact Science. Additionally, Ross is the one who introduced Enya to the anime One Piece which is the show that eventually brought Adam and Enya together.

Logan is Enya's younger step brother whom she dearly adores. The two have grown very close and enjoy each others stories and antics whenever they get together or talk. He is is a fun, spunky, kind hearted man who works for banks and loves computer games, history and bad puns. Conversations with him are always lively, and when he and Adam get together the history talk and puns never stop.
