Barbara & Michael

First of all, a big thank you to the wedding party for agreeing to be a part of our special day. 

I'm so thrilled that Janet will be my Maid of Honour.  Mike is equally  pleased that Daryl is coming from Calgary to stand by his side.  Carrie and Aaron, we're both thrilled that you will be in the wedding party.  I can't imagine it being any other way.  Even though Keegan & Madison are too big to be a ring bearer and flower girl, we have a special place for you too as Groomsman and Jr Bridesmaid.  It's going to be a perfect day!

Daryl Bast - Best Man

Groom's side, Friend of Groom

Where do I begin?  I met Daryl through my friends Paul and Cindy.  We became friends mainly because of our love of music.  I've had a lot of good times playing bluegrass music with Daryl.  I play guitar and he plays the banjo, usually around a campfire.  Our mountain bikes and an extreme trail made for an awesome time as well.  He's a talented musician, a good listener and a man of integrity.  In short, I can't say enough good things about him.  I'm a richer person for knowing him, and I'm very happy that he accepted my offer to stand by my side as my best man.


Janet Winger - Maid of Honor

Bride's side, Friend

Janet, Barb (me) and Lori

I met both Janet and Lori many years ago playing an online game called Acrophobia.  We "spoke" via icq, email, msn and/or telephone pretty much daily and became very good friends.   We have travelled to visit Janet (Elfie) in Toronto many times, and also to see Lori (JelloShots) & Roger in Delta, a small town just outside of Toledo, Ohio.  We've also had the pleasure of their company at our home several times.  I am thrilled Janet said yes to being my maid of honour.

Lori will be saying grace for us at the reception dinner. 


Aaron De Silva - Groomsman

Bride's side, Son

We are so proud of Aaron, now living in St Catharines in his second year of Business Administration-Operations Management.  He's currently playing bass in a band, and they have several songs of their own.  Mike and I both love the first song Aaron sent our way.  We're so glad you're going to be a part of our wedding!


Carrie De Silva - Bridesmaid

Bride's side, Daughter
Carrie moved out this past year (for the second time lol) and is currently in Kitchener living with two of her good friends, Heather & Nicole.  After graduating as a Pharmacy Technician from Mohawk College in Hamilton, she now has a job she loves at the Medical Centre Dispensary in Kitchener.  We're so proud of you too Carrie and excited you're also going to be a part of our wedding.

Keegan O'Donnell - Groomsman

Bride's side, Nephew

Keegan is into sports, and is an all round great kid.  Wish we could see him, Madi and Devin more often.  We know Keegan is looking forward to dancing with Madi at the wedding :)


Madison O'Donnell - Bridesmaid

Bride's side, Niece

Madi is going to be an adorable addition to our wedding party!
