Angela Callahan Swisher

Matron of Honor

Angela is Christine's sister and best friend. Not a year has gone by that they weren't attached at the hip. Angela and Christine live across the US from each other, but they jump at any excuse to see one another whether near or far. They love planning sister trips! Angela lives in Denver, CO with her incredible husband of 9 years, Matt, and their beautiful puppy West.


Kelsey Sirpilla (Dillon)

Bridesmaid

Kelsey and Christine quickly became inseparable having been competitive gymnasts together (as if spending 5hrs in the gym every day wasn't enough time together). They have always had so much in common, navigating teenage years together, and invariably having each other's backs. Kelsey lives in Massillon, OH. Her and her husband, Justin, have two beautiful children, Ford and Summer.

Rachael Eifert (Kimack)

Bridesmaid

Rachael and Christine became what seemed like instant friends at age 16 - they went to both high school and college together. The two can laugh at almost anything when together (and by laugh I mean cry until they can't breathe); they share a special sense of humor that quite literally no one else around them understands. That's what makes their friendship special. Rachael lives in Fort Worth, FL with her husband, Tyler. They have two beautiful children, Lennon and Louie.


Julie Horn (Strauch)

Bridesmaid

Julie and Christine have technically known (of) each other since they were young (through gymnastics), but became close friends when they attended Purdue University and joined the same sorority, Delta Gamma. Julie and her identical twin sister Jennie are two of the kindest human beings - a quality that creates genuine and long lasting friendship. Julie and Christine find any excuse to catch up via wine night and laugh for hours. Julie lives in Westfield, IN with her husband Jonathan and adorable dog Riley.

Jennie Garrison (Strauch)

Bridesmaid

Similar to her twin sister, Julie's story noted above - Christine and Jennie also became close friends when the two became Delta Gamma sorority sisters at Purdue University. Jennie and Christine also find any excuse to catch up on life over wine, but make sure to add candles and Christmas lights (doesn't matter the time of year). Jennie lives in Westfield, IN with her husband Mark, sweet dog Keady and 2 cats.


Carly Reisinger (Derheimer)

Bridesmaid

Carly and Christine have known each other since college; Carly was also a Delta Gamma at Purdue. What is beautiful about this specific friendship is how strong it has become since graduating college. Christine is constantly in awe at the level of consideration, kindness, and genuineness Carly provides to her friends. It's just who she is - at her core. Carly lives in Carmel, IN with her husband John and beautiful son, Henry.

Steffi Bortenschlager

Bridesmaid

Steffi and Christine used to work together post college as medical scribes. They went to rival high schools, and bonded over their Catholic school upbringing and their love for sports and tequila. Whenever the two visit home (Fishers), they always text each other to see if the other will coincidentally be home at the same time. They love getting espresso martinis (with tequila, not vodka obviously) at their favorite place HC Tavern. Steffi lives in Nashville, TN.


Sheila Palic

Bridesmaid

Sheila and Christine worked together professionally in Cincinnati, OH for several years. They used to meet at the gym for 5am workouts before their workday. They have officially made Dave Matthews Band concerts in Noblesville, IN an annual obligation - Christine's mom joins in on the girls weekend as well! Sheila is like a little sister to Christine. Christine and her parents witnessed Sheila officially enter the Catholic Church during Easter 2022. Sheila lives in Cincinnati, OH with her cute dog Scruffy.

Elena Swingler (Winchester)

Bridesmaid

Elena is the 5th Delta Gamma (including Christine) in the wedding party, her and Christine met freshman year at Purdue. They would do anything for each other! Always rooting one another on and supporting each other from a distance. Elena and Christine became very close friends after a post-graduation trip to Florida together driving around in Elena's grandparents convertible, probably thinking they were way cooler than they actually were. Elena lives in Chicago, IL with her husband Colin and beautiful son, Blair.
