| Cheryl Czuba ~ Maid of Honour |
Cheryl has been my best friend for a few years now and she is my rock. Cheryl was the second girl (aside from me) to join our group of friends by dating Mark. Cheryl is now married to Mark (for 4 years now) and they have a beautiful little girl, Cora. Both Mark and Cheryl are good friends of ours and I'm thrilled that Cheryl accepted to be my Maid of Honour. She's been there through the good and the bad and she is truly the sister I never had. I know I can always rely on Cheryl as we are Curl Sisters!! - all you straight haired girls are just jealous!! Cher is such an awesome person and I love having her in my life. She's always got a positive out-take on life/situations and I'm just happy to have met her.
Thanks Cher for being the sister I never had and for being there for the both of us. |

| Becky Barczynski ~ Bridesmaid |
Becky, Becky, Becky... where do I begin? Becky and I met just as Steve and I got back together. At that particular party she was the only girl there and when I showed up that night we hit it off automatically. Becky was dating Mark (not Cheryl's Mark!) and they just got married in November 2005. Becky is the sweetest person you'll ever meet and man that girl can laugh! We are very similar in so many ways that we're convinced we has telepathy with one another or something! Mark, Becky, Steve and I hang out quite a bit together and I'm thrilled that we have that bond that allows us to travel together!
Becky, thank you for sharing in our special day and for always being on the same page as me - we are too much a like sometimes! |

| Theresa Gagnon ~ Bridesmaid |
The eclectic wild child! For anyone who's met Theresa... you never forget her! Theresa is one of Steve's sisters and she is one of the most inspirational people I've ever met. Theresa is full of positive energy and has accomplished so much in her life. I won't lie... Theresa and I have had our differences (that's the Gemini and Leo fighting!), but I'm proud to call her MY SISTER. Steve and I visited Theresa in Miami and L.A. and she will accommodate you from head to toe (literally!). Theresa has a heart of gold and is only happy if you are.
We are so proud of you Theresa with all that you've accomplished with YogaSource and I'm excited for you to be a part of our special day. |

| Michelle Kerr ~ Bridesmaid |
Michelle is Steve's other sister (she's the oldest of the siblings). We officially met on her wedding day back in 1999 and we still can't believe that it's only been 7 years -- it seems much longer. If you're in desperate need of a Personal Assistant/Organizer... then you need Mich! Michelle is one of the most organized people you'll ever met and is one of the sweetest people you'll ever met. When I mentioned earlier that it seems longer since we've known each other, it's because I feel like I've know Michelle all my life. She's my confidant, my friend and yes... another sister I never had!! I absolutely love hangin' out with Mich and I am looking forward to officially call her MY SISTER (even though I do that now!).
Thanks Mich for organizing our weekend getaways and for being such a wonderful person. You're excited to be a bridesmaid??... I'm excited to have you as one of my Bridesmaids!! |

| Mirko Tidi ~ Best Man |
Where do we begin?... Mirko is one of Steve's closest friends and probably knows Steve better than Steve knows himself! Mirko is like another brother to Steve and they have a bond that goes very deep (they've got a lot of secrets those two!). Those two together can cause a lot of trouble, but one thing remains consant -- they're always there for each other. Mirko's got a heart of gold and always makes you smile. There were some tough years there as I think Mirko thought he was losing his best friend (to a woman -- oh no!), but net/net Mirko's very supportive of our relationship and I believe Steve made the best decision to have Mir stand as his Best Man.
Mirko, Steve and I are delighted to have you stand up with us on our wedding day. Don't forget to crack open that bottle of Cuban rum from many moons ago!! |

| Chuck Gagnon ~ Groomsman |
Chuck is Steve's older brother and man that guy can party! Steve and Chuck are very close and have always hung around each other growing up. To see these two together is like watching two peas in a pod... except they cause and get into trouble! They are so much alike it's eerie. They have always been there for each other and Chuck has always been very supportive of our relationship. He's got a huge heart and loves just about everyone. It's too bad that Chuck moved up north a few years ago as I know Steve would love to have him closer. He recently bought a house up in Novar (we call is So-Far because it's ww-aa-yy up north) with his girlfriend Laura. Chuck is a master at carpentry -- that's the creativity that extends into all four siblings. If you need a house built or just a simple shelving unit, he will go beyond what you expect. He is truly talented.
We love you very much Chuck and are thrilled to have you be a part in our special day. |

| Mark Barczynski ~ Groomsman |
We used to call Mark the "pot stirrer" but he doesn't wear that badge anymore! Mark was more of Chuck's buddy growing up so he was automatically part of the Gagnon family and another brother to Steve. Between Chuck & Mark getting and causing trouble, it was natural that Steve would follow their footsteps: TROUBLE, TROUBLE, TRIPLE TROUBLE! Mark & Steve became more close over the last years and Mark recently married Becky, whom is also in our wedding party so it's perfect to have two of our best friends stand up with us. Mark is truly a sweetheart and is sincerely concerned about life... yours, his, anyone who's getting older! "We gotta enjoy every second you guys. We're getting older you know" is what he always says. Mark wants to savour everything last second of everything and clearly brought Steve with him on that path (those two are always late... enjoying every last second!). Mark is very near and dear to our hearts and has always been there for us.
Mark, it's only natural to have you standing up with us on our wedding day. Thank you for all your support over the years -- we love you very much. |

| Kevin Daneliuk ~ Groomsman |
Yes, I got the looks AND the brains!! Just kidding bro! What can I say about my older brother?... he tormented me for a good portion of my life; I got him in trouble when it was actually me who should've gotten in trouble; I used to steal his dirt shirts and try to shrink them to my size (didn't always work - damn nylon). But on the flip side, he's got a heart of gold; has been there when I needed him and is a wonderful dad to his daughter, Victoria Ann, who was born in March 2006. Seeing him with this itty-bitty little thing will bring a tear to anyone's eye.
Kev, I'm lucky to have an older brother like you. Steve and I are thrilled to have you be a part of our special day.

| Mark Czuba ~ Groomsman & Emcee |
Zooba -- that's how you say it. And yes, he belongs in the zoo!! Mark Czuba, the king of gab... no wonder we selected him as our Emcee! Mark and Steve hung around each other long before Cheryl and I came into the picture. Mark was part of the infamous "Prospect St." gang and is a very close friend of ours. Mark is the sweetest, more giving person. He has always been there for Steve and I and he's just a wonderful person to have in your life. We can't wait to hear Mark up at the podium that evening cuz I'm sure he'll deliver beyond our expectations and will have all of you in stitches. His laugh alone will get you going - it's priceless!
Our day is now complete with Mark standing up with us and it's even better now that he's accepted to be our Emcee. Thank you Mark for being such a great friend. |
