Wedding Party
Katie Anderson
Maid of Honor
Katie and Amanda have shared a lifetime of friendship—starting when they were just one year old. Their bond is the kind that feels more like family than friendship. From Trick-or-Treating together every year, to Girl Scout ceremonies, to ski lessons, to horseback riding camp, to long-distance college years. Anchored by countless phone calls, endless movie nights, world travels, and a shared belief that some friendships are simply meant to last a lifetime - the sisterhood of Amanda and Katie is unconditional.
Liliya Chorna
Bridesmaid
From the moment Liliya and Amanda sat next to each other in orchestra in 7th Grade, they had an unspoken rhythm of instant friendship. The connection only grew through the years, being around for every season of life. From shopping for prom dresses together, to trying on wedding dresses together - Liliya's presence is one of the greatest constants Amanda has ever known.
Tina Consalvo
Bridesmaid
Tina and Amanda's friendship began with Girl Scout badges and silly campfire songs, and continued through years of growing pains, late-night calls, and real life transitions. Through every heartbreak and high point, Tina was always there. After all these years, she still carries the same bold humor and strength that has always made Amanda feel safe and seen. They've lived miles apart, but their connection has always stayed close.
Nicole Malanaphy
Bridesmaid
Nicole and Amanda met in middle school—somewhere between Summer volleyball practice, gym class, and swapping stories over cafeteria lunches. Their lives have crossed in the most unexpected, serendipitous ways ever since. From a Sweet 16 candle, to living in Raleigh North Carolina together, their friendship deepened into something truly rare. Nicole is thoughtful, grounded, and always down for an adventure.
Ashlyn Cooper
Bridesmaid
Ashlyn and Amanda met in Raleigh, North Carolina —at a Bachelor watch party, of all places—but their connection was immediate and effortless. Whether they're laughing over dark jokes, bonding over music, or trading dog parenting updates, their friendship never wavers even across state lines. What they've built in just a handful years is something Amanda deeply treasures. And having Ashlyn by her side in this next chapter feels both effortless and essential.
Evan Wood
Groomsman
Evan and Matt were one of each other's first friends after moving to Raleigh in 2017. Since then, they've made countless memories learning to ski together, visiting Burial Brewing, and even more (faded) memories at beer festivals every year that led them to want to even start brewing their own beer!
Bradley Cooper
Groomsman
Brad and Matt met thanks to Brad's connection with the NC State Alumni Association (aka Nicole, see above) in late 2020, and was promptly adopted into the group. Since then, Brad and Matt are always found hanging out into the wee hours of the night, arguing about who is better at Super Smash Brother (Matt obviously), and always planning the next boys trip even if it might never make it out of the chat.
Aaron Perkins
Groomsman
Aaron and Matt met when Aaron moved to Raleigh to start his Pharmacy career and be closer to family, but JK, he found his new family with our group. Aaron has been one of the most loyal friends imaginable to Matt and is always ready to show up and be the life of the party with or without a plan.
Luis Leon
Groomsman
Luis and Matt met when Luis used his connections through the NC State Alumni Association (aka Nicole, see above) to move to Raleigh. Since then, Luis has always been there to add life to the group, share in all of our obsessions, and been there for Matt whatever the situation.
Andrew Mallozzi
Groomsman
Andrew (aka Malloz) and Matt met back in the halls of George Read at the University of Delaware and reunited when Matt moved to Denver. They have endless stories from their time in college and continue to make new memories as adults in Denver just like they did in at UD. Malloz and Matt always had a connection in college and it's obvious as the years have passed that connection continues to grow strong.
