Wedding Party

Laura Sumner

Maid of Honour

Though their chosen friendship really took off after Ali moved out (something about absence making the heart grow fonder ... ) they wound up closer than ever, in Guelph, Kingston, and now just a short GO train apart. Her best friend, confidante, and duet partner for life, Ali is so glad to have Laura by her side.

Brayden Libawski

Best Man

First meeting on the Mayfield rugby pitch, Brayden and Jesse have now known each other for 42 years ;) living together in 4 different homes and staying connected across as many time zones. Always up for a chat about urban planning, pandemics, politics, or partners — or a quick game of Age of Empires II — Brayden is the brother Jesse never had.

Mattea Duprey

Bridesmaid

Mattea and Ali met during orientation week at Guelph, both with a list of mock lectures they'd each planned to attend. It didn't take long for these two to realize they were soulmates. Serving equal parts wisdom beyond her years, and deliciously cringe quips, Ali is lucky to have Mattea by her side.

Aaron Percival

Groomsman

Now all serious, Aaron and Jesse got all their sillies out together in the Mayfield drama program, reuniting in Guelph to share a love of craft brews and board games ever since, often joined by Andrea and Brayden. "I screwed up my whole strategy" will be the last words you hear from Aaron before he obliterates you in end-game scoring.
