Wedding Party

Abby Brandon

Bride

David Livits

Groom

Natalie Brandon

Maid of Honor

Natalie is Abby's younger (yes, really) sister. They not only share DNA, but also a love for cheese boards, Friends, and their golden retriever siblings, Sammy and Sophie.

Dmitry Livits

Best Man

Dmitry is David's older brother. They met when Dmitry was 17 years old (and his dream of being an only child was ruined).

Cecily Demanes

Bridesmaid

Cecily and Abby met on the playground at Lettie Brown Elementary School in first grade. They've known each other for over 20 years, and they've got the shark tattoos to prove it. (Apologies to their parents)

Yuri Azov

Groomsman

Yuri is David's uncle. They spent their first 22 years together having fun and discovering St. Louis: from the City Museum to the Science Center. You can now find them with their heads in their desks working for the same company.

Kelsey Quinlan

Bridesmaid

Kelsey is one of Abby's best friends from high school (even though they didn't go to the same school). After spending years road tripping back and forth to visit each other, they both finally call the same city home. Their Mamma Mia and Harry Potter obsessions are the glue that holds them together.

Quintin Davis

Groomsman

Quintin and David met at a Saint Louis University tennis outing while eating Pickleman's sandwiches. They were roommates for David's senior year, and continued to build their friendship around sandwiches.

Katelyn Kramer

Bridesmaid

Katelyn and Abby were randomly assigned as roommates their sophomore year at SLU in an on-campus apartment. It all worked out, because they chose to live together for three years after graduating, and drove across the country multiple times together. Now THAT'S friendship.

Mark Shor

Groomsman

Mark and David met on the school bus while at Willowbrook Elementary School in the fourth grade. They've known each other for about 15 years, and spent most of that time playing pool and watching Blues hockey.

Maddie Brophy

Bridesmaid

Maddie and Abby lived on the same floor their freshman year at SLU. Maddie tells anyone who will listen that she is responsible for Abby and David's relationship. (Abby and David have differing opinions on this)

Billy Flint

Groomsman

Billy and David met while "studying" at Saint Louis University. We couldn't believe we were fans of the exact same teams: Blues, Cardinals, and Packers. You could always find out at the Field House cheering on our favorite teams.
