My name is Giovanna. My fiancé , Lucas, and Brendan are work wives, but through their friendship Olivia and I were able to develop our own special relationship. Our enjoyment for Broadway, brunch, and fashion made us fast friends. The first time Olivia and I met it was an instant connection and I knew it would be a life long friendship.
Kyla Kerce - Bridesmaid
I met Olivia about five years ago when we both met up at a mutual friends apartment after church one Sunday night. She was one of my first friends in NYC and we quickly bonded over our love for theatre and the absolutely dumpster fire that is the dating scene in the city. Several Broadway trips and themed backyard parties later, here we are! I'm so glad I get to stand by her while she marries Brendan, and proves that maybe the apps do work every once in a while.
Janna Harner - Matron of Honor
I have known Olivia for over 20 years, and our love for one another has only grown with time! Olivia seems to always know when we’re due for a lengthy phone date (her best-friend, ESP spidey-senses never fail) and she always manages to call right in the moments I need her most. Olivia has always been a caretaker, willing to sacrifice and accommodate the needs of those around her, and I am so overjoyed to see Brendan provide those very things for her that she has devoted her life to giving to others. I cannot wait to celebrate this sweet couple as they begin a journey of joyful selflessness— where their sacrifices for one another offer them abundance!
Jada Hudson - Maid of Honor
Olivia and I are going on 20 years of friendship, and every year that passes brings a deeper understanding of what it means to have a friend who loves, accepts, and celebrates you. From sleepovers in Camp Rock pajamas, with chocolate fountains and talking about crushes until 1 a.m, to big moves, living through heartbreak and grief and joy, and now planning a wedding… Olivia always has been and always will be THAT friend. Celebrating her finding the beautiful love she deserves is easy, and I’m so glad she found it in Brendan! (I hope he knows he’s also stuck with me for life. :) Cheers to Liv and Brendan!
Rachel Thomas - Bridesmaid
Hi there! I’m Rachel Thomas and I’m so honored to be part of Olivia and Brendan’s wedding party! I’ve known Olivia since we were about 5 years old. In the many years I’ve known her, we’ve taken years of dance classes, performed in several musicals at SCC, and of course have had countless sleepovers filled with karaoke, chocolate fountains, and wonderful memories that I look back on often. I moved to Memphis in 2012 and have resided there since; despite the distance, Olivia has been a truly dependable friend that I can always pick back up with where we left off. Cheers to Olivia and Brendan!
Lauren Morgan-Reilly - Bridesmaid
Hello, I'm Lauren! Although I've been a lifelong annoyance in Brendan's life, I have only known Olivia for these past few years. However, I am extremely excited to celebrate her and Brendan's marriage this fall and for years to come, as she is an amazing addition to the family, and the sister I never had. I can't wait to continuously help her talk Brendan into adopting as many dogs as she wants. Cheers!
Kevin Yusko - Best Man
Hello, I'm Kevin! I'm one of Brendan's oldest friends. We've practically been raised together and our lives have been intertwined from the beginning. From playing youth soccer together, goofing around with the teacher's permission for doing so well while the rest of the class reviewed the math test, or playing video games online or at each other's homes, we have been a constant in each others lives for more than two decades.
Ryan Campbell - Best Man
Hello! I’m Ryan! I’m the co-best man, and I’ve known Brendan for going on 15 years now. Doesn’t matter how far we drift apart or how long we go without speaking to each other, I know that Brendan is still my guy. I’m honored to be apart of his and Olivia’s special day.
Gavin Morse - Groomsman
Hello, I'm Gavin! I'm Brendan's cousin and basically have been a sibling ever since we've been born. Both of our families are basically one. We both bond over the good old days of playing video games and hurling insults at each other. I'm excited for Olivia and Brendan and happy to add Olivia to the family!
Kaden Morse - Groomsman
Hellooo, my name is Kaden, and I’ve known Brendan my entire life, through the many years of laughter, and teasing that he’s endured through with our family, I can say I have never been more proud of him then I am now. Not only has he built a amazing life for himself but has found someone even more amazing to share it with, and I am honored to get to see these two beautiful souls get married!
Graham Gordon - Groomsman
Matthew Reilly - Groomsman
Howdy, I’m Matt, Brendan’s Brother-in-Law. I come from a fairly large family (4 siblings, 20+ close cousins), so adding a few more family members never hurts! While Brendan and I have quickly bonded over pop culture and memes, Olivia and I are slowly bonding over something more fun, family gossip! I’ve come to really enjoy the family event debriefs between Lauren, Myself, Olivia and Brendan which validates that the 4 of us aren’t as crazy as we think we are. Looking forward to the big day so I can welcome another pseudo-sibling to the family!
Skyler Hornbeak - Bridesmaid
My name is Skyler, and I am Olivia’s cousin! Growing up, I always loved getting to visit Olivia. She has always had a heart of gold, and I am so grateful for the bond we have developed as adults. I am so happy that Olivia and Brendan have found each other, and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate them! Cheers to Olivia and Brendan!
Lucas Cavanna - Groomsman
Hello I'm Lucas! I am Brendan's former superior and current work husband. The past half decade we have both bonded over the ups and downs of life as a young person in NYC, or through our mutual suffering of being fans of the New York Jets. For the past few years, through the long work hours, we have been able to develop a friendship that extended beyond double checking excel formulas, which will last for years to come.
Quinn McGough - Flower Girl
Quinn McGough is excited to be the flower girl! She is three years old and loves dance, gymnastics, and being a big sister. In her spare time you can find her singing, collecting rocks, and admiring airplanes flying all over her home on Long Island.
