Aly & Phil
Wedding Party
Jackie Kiracofe
Matron of Honor
Jackie has been my sister-in-law for 5 years now, but it feels like we've been friends forever. She's one of the most loving, honest and genuine people you will ever meet! She's always up for sharing a glass of wine and having late night dance parties to Missy Elliott!
Karissa Walker
Bridesmaid
Karissa and I met freshman year at Wartburg College. We immediately got along famously considering we were both constantly laughing at the comical situations we would get ourselves into. Despite living 230 miles away from each other, Karissa remains one of my best friends!
Hope O'Neill
Bridesmaid
Hope and I also met freshman year at Wartburg College. Hope has always been one of the most thoughtful, bubbly and happy-go-lucky individuals I have ever met. We have countless memories filled with no bake cookies, shopping, vanilla lattes and late night dancing throughout college and the years after!
Emily Kahan
Bridesmaid
Emily and I also met freshman year at Wartburg College. Our friendship was initially based on our mutual struggle to survive freshman year Chemistry, but quickly became the fantastic and genuine friendship we have today. Emily is a mutual friend of Phil and I and was the original matchmaker for our relationship. We are so lucky to have her in our lives!
Jorie O'Neill
Bridesmaid
I had the pleasure of meeting Jorie through our shared friend, Emily K. Jorie and I instantly got along due to our love for books, lazy Friday nights and hanging in my parents backyard playing yard games. Jorie and I have grown stronger the longer I've lived in Chicago and I'm lucky to call her my friend!
Emily Nowicki
Bridesmaid
I also had the pleasure of meeting Emily N through our mutual friend, Emily K. There is no one quite like Emily N - she is ALWAYS ready to have a good time and can turn the most boring night into the best night you've had in a long time. Emily and I also share a love for books and wine, especially when we get to enjoy them basking in the sun together!
Rachel Burbridge
Bridal Attendant
Rachel is my future sister-in-law, as I soon become part of the Rifkin Clan! I first met Rachel when Phil and I had just started dating and instantly felt comfortable around her. I knew she'd be someone I could look up to and ask for advice on anything! Phil and I love spending time at Rachel and her husband, Kevin's, apartment grilling out and playing with their adorable dog, Addie!
Kaylynn Cogil
Bridal Attendant
Kaylynn is Phil's brother, Jeff's, girlfriend. We've been close friends ever since our first meeting which involved lots of laughter, wine and hugs. Although Kaylynn lives in Arizona it feels like we are best of friends and understand each other instinctively. We have shared lots of laughter and great conversation together and I look forward to more fun times in the future!
Jeff Rifkin
Best Man
When I was a kid, I had a disease that required me to eat dirt three times a day in order to survive... It's a good thing my older brother told me about it.
Abel Rangel

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

Me and my friend Justin can communication with just facial expressions.
Tyler Humphrey

I’d take a bullet for you. Not in the head. But like in the leg or something. Then explain to the paramedics we don't need your help, my friend here is a doctor...
Ryan Warren

We’ve been friends for so long, I can’t remember which one of us is the bad influence.

I don’t know what’s tighter: our jeans or our friendship.
Kevin Burbridge

We are now brothers. Always remember that if you fall, I will always be there to pick you up… after I finish laughing...
