Non-traditional Wedding Party

Michelle's #FrontRow

Jennifer Crowley
Jennifer Crowley - Maid of Honor
I met Jennifer back in 2015 - I crashed her NYE party and it was the best decision ever. We've been besties ever since. We've been through everything together - good and bad - vacations, music adventures, break ups, job layoffs, moving apartments, surgeries, meeting our families, burger days, going to Will & Wine nights lol, so many awesome things! We've only ever been mad at each other like 2-3 times and one of those times, it lasted for 30 seconds! She's truly a ride or die and I'm so honored to call her my best friend, sister, and maid of honor! If you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: Dogs, Cats, Bob Esponja (yes, just like that, in Spanglish), our 30 second argument, and martinis dirtier than kissing your own cousin.
Deborah Charette
Deborah Charette - Front Row
Debbie was my first best friend, first partner in crime, first person I probably kicked and made cry and shoved into a closet so parents wouldn't find out, first person I told a secret to, first person I asked to keep something from parents, first EVERYTHING. She is the most patient, caring, gentle, and creepiest (because she loves all things horror) sister in the whole world and I love her with all my heart. I would do anything for Debbie and the three little cuties she's brought into this world and I cannot wait to celebrate with them all! Conversation topics could include: Mila, Stephen, Olivia, and the ability to do the voice of Regan from The Exorcist.
Annette Corbett
Annette Corbett - Front Row
Growing up with my first best friend Debbie, I always thought that was it...then 9 years later we found out our mom was having another baby. So confusing...what the hell happened? Definitely an accident! That was the longest running joke and we still throw it out there for giggles. I am so happy mom and dad brought her into this messed up world - she's made life brighter! Although she's the youngest, she is one of the most grounded and smartest people I know. I love her with all my heart and I'm excited to have her be part of this special moment with me! Conversation topics could include: 4 missing teeth, the cool 'rock' Debbie gave her once, her real parents, and our trip to Italy/Slovenia.
Victoria Townsend
Victoria Townsend - Front Row
I totally didn't know I was going to meet Victoria before Gerald and me even DTR (defined the relationship). I was super nervous...but she was so welcoming and adorably cute with her little girls that are also the cutest! I can't believe it's been a little over a year now since we met, and I feel like we're closer than ever and cannot wait to make it official this October! I never thought I would have any more sisters and I'm so happy that Gerald happened to have an amazing one - I'll share, I guess lol! Conversation topics could include: Isla, Alaina, all things cooking, and champagne all day.
Tania Movchan
Tania Movchan - Front Row
August 2022, I stopped Tania coming out of the lady's room at QA to get her number for my friend because he thought she was beautiful (she totally is), and the rest is history. In such a short time, Tania and I became fast friends and in that short time we both had some crappy events happen to us both that really made me see that this girl was/is truly one of the good ones, a ride or die, the friend who will be there for you no matter what. It was a no brainer for me, when deciding who would be part of my nontraditional bridal party - her name was at the top of the list. No doubt in my mind/heart that we will have that forever friendship! Conversation topics could include: Next travel adventure, Boston life, and how much OJ should go into a mimosa.
Danielle Crowley
Danielle Crowley - Front Row
I met Danielle through Jennnifer (MOH) - if you see similarities, it's because they're sisters. Crazy right? No not really. They may look alike to some, but they are the total opposite in all the good ways. She has also welcomed me into her family and has always made me feel like their third sister! We've gone on trips and vacations together, done nothing together, celebrated milestones together, and most importantly, always showed up for each other. I know I can always count on her and Ross (her SO) if I need anything...i.e. moving a big ass couch or answering FRIENDS trivia or going to random music shows. I love this girl and her fashion knowledge to the moon and back! Conversation topics could include: Gnomes, trolls, Gandalf, and all things fashion.

Gerald's Starting Line Up

Matt Zignego
Matt Zignego - Heart of the Order
Zig and I became close friends fairly quickly after I moved up to Whitefish. We lived together up until a year ago when Michelle and I got a place of our own in Columbia Falls. We've spent a lot of our time together on the golf course but probably even more time on the virtual golf course, known as Golden Tee. I talk to two people pretty much every day: my sister Victoria and Zig. I'm beyond honored and so lucky to have a friend like Zig in my life; moving to Seattle won't break us up, haha.
Adam Winn
Adam Winn - Leadoff Hitter
Adam and I met in San Francisco when he came into Hilton Union Square to sell me on Georgetown Brew. I had been a big fan already so it was an easy sell ... but more importantly our friendship sparked quickly by our connection for Seattle sports teams, golf/billiards/bocce, and great bars & restaurants. Winn is a key piece in our love story as I went on my first international trip to be a part of his and Carla's wedding in Portugal; before on to Barcelona ... We lived together for a year in Oakland before I moved back to Montana. We have had many adventures together and I'm so fortunate to have such a great friend and travel buddy by my side.
Adam Long
Adam Long - Ace
Adam and I met at Westside Lanes in Missoula over a decade ago; it was too easy to tell we would be a problem together between our witty banter and competitive nature. We became close when we lived in Whitefish during a stretch of a few years together. Between endless rounds of golf, live music shows, and game nights ... I'm sure Adam will be one of my best friends for life and couldn't be more excited every time we get to hang.
Eric Anderson
Eric Anderson - The Closer
Eric Anderson, where do I start ... my newest, best friend of the crew here. Which is funny because our family roots have crossed before either of us were born. Ways I could describe Eric: hilariously funny without trying, competitive animal, caring/compassionate, one of the best humans I know. I am pumped you'll be sharing in our celebration! Will you please let me beat you on the course during my wedding weekend?
Paull Veroulis
Paull Veroulis - Batting Clean-Up
Paull and I became great friends through Adam Long in Whitefish ... common denominator remaining golf. Paull is always lively, he will push you to be the best version of yourself, comedic level funny, and most importantly the guy that will do anything for you without question. You are a true friend and brother of mine.
Adam Curry
Adam Curry - Setup Pitcher
I've known and been friends with Curry the longest of all these guys, going back to around 2008(ish). We played a ton of golf together at Larchy in Missoula, countless hours of CoD online during COVID, and maybe a night or two rocking the TouchTunes jukebox at Al's & Vic's. My parents are so happy knowing we are still the best of friends, dude. Thank you for always being there.
Justin Townsend
Justin Townsend - Skipper
Justin and I met freshman year at U of Montana and became great friends while we lived together our sophomore year at the GOAT house. Most good things in my life are a big thanks to Justin. Thank you so much for not just being one of my best friends, but being the greatest husband to my sister Victoria, the perfect father to Isla and Alaina, and emotional presence I needed during a lots of ups and downs. Boy, living in San Francisco together for those years will always be a highlight in my life.
Jordan Miller
Jordan Miller - Big Brother
Jordan, you've always been a rock in my life: growing up together, the teenage years, and still today. I've looked up to you since I can remember and am so proud to have you with me on our big day. I love you so much, brother. I always look forward to our times together and let us enjoy some Seattle life when you and Adrian come visit!
