Wedding Party
Tricia Asay
Bridesmaid
Tricia is Lexie's cousin on her father's side and one of the most dependably loving people you'll ever meet. A nurse by trade and a nurturer by nature, she has shown up for Lexie through some of life's hardest moments, including more than one overnight in a hospital waiting room. She opens her home every holiday without hesitation and welcomes everyone like family. Lexie couldn't imagine this day without her, and now Tricia gets to celebrate as a brand new grandma too!
Becca Barnes
Bridesmaid
Becca and Lexie first crossed paths as managers at CVS back when Lexie was a brand-new pharmacist. What started as a work friendship quickly turned into something much more like family. Though life has taken them to different cities, they make a point to spend nearly every holiday together and never really lose touch. They share a love for Swig in Perrysburg, a memorable Nashville trip, and an Airbnb experience with some very suspicious secret doors. Lexie is excited to add this special day to the list of memories shared with Becca!
Ashley Hein
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Lexie go all the way back to pharmacy school, when Lexie interned at Ashley's store in Cleveland and a lifelong friendship was born. From nights out in downtown Cleveland to a Vegas trip that has some stories attached, these two have lived a lot of life together. This includes the wild, messy, hilarious chapters of their dating years that they could only really laugh about with each other. Ashley has since moved further east and life gets busy, but when they finally get together it feels like no time has passed at all. There was a time they both fully accepted that marriage just wasn't in the cards. Now Ashley is happily married, Lexie is walking down the aisle and somehow that feels like best kind of plot twist.
Adam Leventry
Groomsman
Adam and Vishnu met during their freshman year at Pitt. He famously walked in on Vishnu heating up Easy Mac without the water, causing a microwave fire and a dorm-wide evacuation. Adam still agreed to live with him! While roommates, they spent many a night staying up until 2 AM, becoming salsa and fruit snack connoisseurs together, and even taking care of the precious black kittens, Bon and Echo together. It always impressed Vishnu how Adam single-handedly decriminalized marijuana in Pittsburgh with his compelling interview live on the local news. Vishnu often visited Adam who was a bartender at Mad Mex to get his free margaritas and Wingaritos, and they went to their favorite Chinese restaurant, Schezuan, as well.Adam now resides in Pittsburgh with his wife Emily, baby daughter Cecelia, and two cats, Echo and Gemma.
Raj Madhani
Groomsman
Vishnu and Raj met each other during their freshman year of undergraduate school at Pitt. They ended living together for the next 3 years alongside Jesse and Adam. They went through the process of going to freshman year parties together, staying up late studying for the MCAT together, followed by living in Philadelphia while attending different medical schools. Some highlights of their time together include dancing at their favorite Southside bar, Jimmy D's, followed by going to their favorite pizza place, Antoon's, and when Raj got follucilitis after dying his beard green after the Eagles won the super bowl. Raj always admired Vishnu's culinary tastes including his love for ketchup. Raj now resides in Pittsburgh with his wife, Kaylee, and two dogs, Karma and Schenley.
Nick Semenza
Groomsman
Nick and Vishnu went to Drexel together for medical school and lived together in Philly for three years. Many nights were spent either having deep conversations, playing online chess, or going out to various bars and restaurants in the city. Some highlights include them rapping karaoke together and traveling to Ft. Lauderdale with some of their other medical school friends. Somehow even though Nick was a Packers fan and Vishnu was a Lions fan, he always had an excuse to never be able to watch the games together. Nick always admired Vishnu's command on the dance floor and is something we're sure he's looking forward to witnessing again on his wedding night! Nick now resides in Pittsburgh with his girlfriend Kristen, their son Oliver, and their cat Charlie.
Isabelle Shroyer
Bridesmaid
Lexie and Isabelle found each other in the world of competitive cheerleading during their teen years and have been inseparable ever since. They were rebels in their younger days, roommates on more than one occasion, including in a legendary house where rent was $500 a month, utilities included, which feels like a fever dream now. They have shown up for each other for every major milestone in between. Lexie was there when Isabelle welcomed her first child, and now Isabelle is returning the favor by standing at her side on one of the biggest days of her life. Full circle doesn't even begin to cover it!
Jaime Tasma
Bridesmaid
Jaime is Lexie's bridesmaid, but calling her just a friend doesn't quite cover it. She's more like a sister. They've known each other so long that Lexie can't really pinpoint exactly when it started. Was it junior high or high school? Somehow we lost track of time which feels about right for a friendship this deep. They once planned to enlist in the military together, spent early mornings at the gym prepping side by side, and have since filled a lifetime with vacations, memories, and showing up for each other without question. In more recent years they've both faced the unimaginable loss of their parents, and have leaned on each other to figure out what life looks like on the other side of that. Lexie feels genuinely honored to have Jaime by her side today because if there's one person who has always, without fail, shown up, it's her.
Erin Tishenkel
Bridesmaid
Erin and Lexie met in pharmacy school and practically moved in together before they'd even finished introducing themselves. It's been a wild, wonderful ride ever since. Leo, Lexie's cat, made his feelings about the new roommate known early on by peeing on her pillow, and yet somehow Erin stayed. They moved to Cleveland together for their final year of school, graduated, started practicing. Then, at almost the exact same time both ended up in Columbus, living directly across the street from each other. If that's not fate, nothing is. They've been to Puerto Rico together, accumulated more good photos and videos than either could count, and share inside references that only make sense to them, including one involving an aardvark that requires no further explanation. Erin is the sister Lexie never had, and there is truly nowhere these two can be together without having the absolute best time!
Jesse Wehner
Groomsman
Jesse and Vishnu met during their freshman year at Pitt. They lived the next two years together at the Bouquet Gardens also accompanied by their cats Bon and Echo and the "Craig" house. Vishnu promises that the free haircuts were not the only reason he ended up living with Jesse. One of Vishnu's favorite memories is when Jesse helped host his 21st birthday party with his fancy stage lights and fog machine and they chugged habanero salsa together. He always enjoyed going to Jesse's basement and bar concerts and bragging to people that he lived with the famous winner of the Pittsburgh battle of the bands. Jesse is currently living in Pittsburgh with his fiancée Lia and their two cats, Bon and Ollie.
