Chelsea & Michael
Wedding Party
Kaitlin Saltzer
Maid of Honor
When I found out my bonus brother (cousin) Mikey was dating someone, I could not wait to meet her. It was Christmas Eve at my Mom’s house, the happiest night of our family’s year and energy was high. It took no time at all to realize Chelsea can HANG and hold her own among the Weil madness. She came into our family at a significant time and has done nothing but radiate love and support and joy. Chelsea has effortlessly become a part of our family and the happiness that she and Mikey have is pure. Safe to say, I ugly cried for a good 20-minutes when I saw news of their engagement. I love you both and I am SO hype to have another girl in the gang!

How we met: It was one of the first rush events for Spring 2013. We all were gathered in the student center for Q&A. Mike said he was from Marlton and went to Cherokee and I said was from Voorhees and went to Eastern. This was an instant connection which lead to many more hangouts, movies, and blunts. Growing up down the street from each other to meeting at Montclair University hours away, to becoming best friends, and what is now a 10+ year friendship.

Meeting Chelsea has been one of the best things that has happened to me. We’ve known each other now for about 7 years, and boy have we experienced a lot. We met working at ULTA in Edgewater (Shoutout #123) and I’d say clicked instantly. From crazy nights on the town in NY to relaxing sleepovers at her old apartment in Fort Lee with Marvin and Chico (my first fur nephews), we’ve had a blast every time we’re together! I’m so excited to see Chelsea grow into an even more amazing person in this next chapter in her life, and am so happy she’s met an amazing person like Mike. I can’t wait to make more memories with you!

Mike and I met on campus at Montclair State University in the fall of 2012. He was interested in participating in Greek life where I was in the process already. Mike, a man amongst boys, it was impossible to miss him. He was and is always lending out his hand for friendship and brotherhood. I saw a man, who was ready to take the bull by the horns and has helped many of us with our own life obstacles. I’m honored to call him my friend.

Growing up, Mike was the only cousin who gave me a run for my money in all the backyard shenanigans at the Weil’s…. and honestly he might still be! HA! So one can only guess how I met Chelsea, right? I remember the first time Mike brought Chelsea to our Uncle PJ and Aunt Heather’s house- I knew she’d fit in the second she agreed to all of the competitiveness the Weil clan has to offer. But then she mentioned loving cats and it was like she was already part of the family! I’m so thankful for the immense amount of love and support Chelsea has shown Mike and our family throughout both times of joy and times of sorrow. It has been so wonderful seeing how happy she makes Mike! As the shenanigans continue into our 30s, Chelsea fits in seamlessly, joining in on all the heckling as if she’s been a Weil forever! With that being said, cheers to the happy couple, I can’t wait to see everything that’s in store for you!

We met in the early days of college and became friends quickly, going to shows and parties, and joining the same fraternity. We spent a lot of time together whether it was in the club or in a study room and we've made countless memories over the years with the world as our playground.

I first met Chelsea at the Weil’s when her and Mike started dating. We quickly bonded being significant others in the crazy family, and while we may have started as outsiders we fit in perfectly with our love for food and cooking. Over the last few years I’ve watched Mike and Chelsea’s relationship grow into what they are today. Through all the ups and downs life has thrown their way they never skipped a beat. I can’t wait to stand by her side and celebrate their big day.

Mike and I first met in the Kitchen at Tabor Toad Tavern. Within in minutes we found out we had a lot in common, from our love of football to playing baseball as kids; we both shared a lot of the same passions. Shortly after, Mike would come hang with myself and my twin brother Phil, and the rest was history.

I met Chelsea back in 2011 on a beautiful morning at the Big U (Ulta.. for those who don’t know, shoutout to #240). It was Chelsea’s first day and we were putting away a truck shipment while getting to know one another. One funny comment later, we knew we would be friends for life. We quickly became the step sisters of Ulta and were constantly the root of most chaos, but we were loved by “almost” everyone. From early mornings at work to late nights dancing our lives away and everything in between, we have been by each other's sides always. And now we get to be side by side for one of our biggest accomplishments yet and I couldn’t be happier for her and Michael.

It all started at tabor road tavern in Morris plains New Jersey, one day in walked another fellow with the gift of height and size that I’m also blessed with. We hit it off immediately and became brothers in arms ever since.

I met Mike, as well as my boyfriend Ryan in 2018 at our first job out of college. We became an inseparable trio. Mike has been our ‘unofficial third wheel’ since we met back then..but with their bromance, who was really the 3rd wheel? I was so excited when Chelsea came into our lives. As soon as I met her it was easy to see why Mike fell so hard for her. Chelsea not only has such big heart, but she is a fellow foodie, and a cat mom!! It felt like Mike chose her just for me haha. We have enjoyed so many laughs and great adventures in Philadelphia, from restaurants to wine bars and rooftop margs. I am so happy to have Chelsea in my life. Not only does she bring our guy Big Meech so much happiness, but I finally have my much needed female partner in crime!! I can’t wait to stand beside you as you marry your best friend, and for all of the fun memories and double dates to come.

Mike and I met at both of our first jobs out of college. We both went through hell and back during our first month of training and leaned on each other throughout our first year. During that time, Mike became a brother for life and I am so grateful to have experienced that time and all the other wild times we have had together since then. Cheers brotha!

2 years ago, I met Chelsea at work. It took all of 10 minutes for me to realize she was a fantastic person and that we would be great friends. I would go and lay on her procedure table every chance I could to escape the reality of our office and catch up with her (or nap). She has been a shoulder to lean on, an ear that listens and a person to call more times than I can count, I am so lucky to have met her. On days that we weren't running like crazy, we had plenty of conversations about hers and Michael's future. The effort put into this relationship on both ends was so beautiful and it has been so special watching this love story unfold. Cheers to forever! Love always, your dirty birdie!

I was rushing at Montclair and that’s when I met Big MEECH! You were one of the nicest human beings I’ve met and being new to Montclair, you showed me the ropes. We became closer as I rushed Theta Xi and discovered we had similar interests. To this day you’re one of a handful that I still talk to from Montclair. One of the hardest working men in the game. I look to work as hard you dog.

I met Chelsea while working at ULTA (Shout out #240) about 12 years ago and we instantly clicked. Little did we know, we grew up in the same town living right around the corner from one another. From work shenanigans to life milestones, to planning weddings at the same time. We’ve been through it all during the last 13 years and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. I can’t wait to stand by her side as she marries Mike.

Big Mike and I met at Montclair State University in Fall of 2012. From that first time meeting, we’ve built a friendship and brotherhood through our fraternity; Theta Xi. Over all of these years, we have remained close even in our professional lives.
