Our Wedding

Our story isn’t exactly a fairytale… unless your idea of romance includes a trip to Walmart. Somewhere between everyday errands and casual conversations, Brad asked what we were doing for Valentine’s Day. Naturally, expectations were low considering Christmas had come and gone without much fanfare. So when he casually said, “I already got your gift,” it was met with a very confident “No you don’t.” (Because obviously, he was just going to panic-buy something the next day while I was at work.) Fast forward to when we got home. I was in the bathroom, completely unaware that my life was about to change. When I came out, there was Brad… holding Mya… who was holding a bag. And inside that bag? The ring. No grand speech, no scenic backdrop..just us, at home, with a surprise that was perfectly us. It may not have been the most traditional proposal, but it was genuine, unexpected, and full of love (and honestly, a little bit hilarious). From Walmart runs to forever, here we are and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Our Story

My sister is my best friend. She is someone I can trust, I can relate to and laugh with. She is my friend and in my eyes the best sister I could have ever asked for. I couldn't get married without her by my side. I don't think anyone can understand just how great my relationship with my sister is and sometimes, I don't even think she does.

Brittany and I met back in 2015 when we bonded drunkenly over having the same name.  Great friends are few and far between. We have been through thick and thin together, we were pregnant together, we both ended up on the east coast together all the way from Petawawa Ontario.  We have had many great party days before Brittany settled down and got married and now I guess its my turn. I can't wait to have her standing with me on my big day.

Meghan and I met through our mutual friend Brittany Byers. Brittany and Meghan met through tik tok in 2020. I was going through one of the toughest times in my life when I met Meghan and we just clicked. instantly. She is the most real person I've met in a hot minute.  We probably partied more then we should have but that's what happens when you put the three of us in a room together. 

Meghan Tidd

Rebecca and I met in 2012 when my step dad brought us to PEI to meet his family. That summer I knew she was a keeper, a great friend, an amazing listener. We had a lot of my best memories that summer. Two of which were getting nearly eaten by a pull out couch, and puking at the exhibition. From then on our friendship continued to grow. She is now a mother of two littles and the best fiance.

Andrew is my younger brother, which is a polite way of saying he was my primary combatant for most of our lives. Growing up, we didn’t just fight daily; we fought hourly. However, as the dust settled over the years, that sibling rivalry turned into genuine respect. I’ve always been quietly impressed (and, if I’m honest, maybe a little jealous) of his incredible work ethic and his ability to lock in and crush his goals. While we may have started as rivals, I couldn’t be prouder to have him standing by my side as my brother today.

Andrew O'Dell

Matt is the second youngest of the brothers, and while we certainly had our fair share of arguments, we’ve always operated on the same wavelength. Beyond the blood relation, Matt is the kind of brother who shows up when it counts. I honestly don't think I could ever fully repay him for the countless hours of car help and mechanical lifelines he’s thrown my way. Watching the man he has become has been a privilege, and I’m honored to have him in the lineup.

Matthew O'Dell

As the youngest of the bunch, Christopher holds a unique spot in the family. Even though we don’t get to talk as often as we’d like or see each other nearly enough, that "brother bond" doesn't fade with distance. After seeing how incredible he was with my daughter, Mya, I’ve decided he’s officially moving to Fredericton, I need a reliable babysitter on call, and he’s too good at it to live anywhere else. I’m thrilled he’s making the trip to be part of this.

I met Tom on a paintball field, eventually recruited him as my podcast co-host, and somehow ended up with one of my closest friends in the process. Tom is the guy who has quite literally pulled me back from the ledge more than once, never asking for a single thing in return. He is the definition of "ride or die". The kind of friend who, if you tell him you’re in a legal gray area, doesn’t ask questions; he just asks if he needs to bring a shovel.
