Wedding Party

Andrew Gaidis

Groom

Krista Gallagher

Bride

Pj Gaidis

Best Man

Number three of four brothers in the Gaidis clan. The brother that minded the least..of having Andrew follow him everywhere around. Started with the go-cart in Pennsylvania, went on to starting a two piece Metallica cover band, and now they just look for anything fun to do and dive head first.

Dana Basch

Maid of Honor

Dana and Krista met at JMU during club field hockey tryouts. Dana's contagious laugh and easy going personality made her an instant bestie. Their bond grew while spending countless hours at the library- mostly chatting and little studying for chemistry (somehow they managed to pass). Although Dana moved to Colorado and now Vermont they remain inseparable when reunited.

Chad Gallagher

Groomsman

Chad is the brother of Krista, and has helped Andrew be better at life in more ways than one. Great friend, amazing brother, and is obsessed with anything UVA.

Ashleigh Gallagher

Matron of Honor

Ashleigh is technically Krista's sister-in-law but feels like a real sister. The two can be found out and about town working out, sipping on mimosas, or giggling about some silly moment. Ashleigh has helped tremendously in wedding planning- lots of "cool" ideas are hers :)

Joe Bongiovanni

Groomsman

Best friend to Andrew since freshman year of high school. One of the best life guards Asbury Park has to offer. Especially after a double pork roll and green tea from Frank's. Best Pork Roll no question.

Jackie Loyer

Bridesmaid

Jackie Smackies. If it weren't for this fellow JMUer, Andrew and Krista never would have met. Not only did she introduce the couple, but she convince Krista to move to NJ where Krista and Andrew began their love story. Thanks to lots of nights out together, Krista and Jackie have locked down their hands dancing moves and will demo on demand!

Will Pittenger

Groomsman

Best friend to Andrew since 7th grade. The first few years were tough, he often would show friendship by spitting in his locker. But that didn't stop the inevitable bond and friendship they endured. The love of music and beer escalated the friendship to the highest level, and they even remember each others birthdays.

Leah Riegel

Bridesmaid

High school bestie! Leah and Krista met in 4th grade and have made it through thick and thin (this includes girl scouts!). Leah lives in NYC and keeps Krista up to date on all the latest trends. They even had a paparazzi moment when Krista was visiting to try on wedding gowns and saw Cara Delinvingne (famous model).

Shane O'Neil

Groomsman

A best friend to Andrew since sophomore year of college. Put these two together and watch as they defy the limitations of what it means to have a good time.

KC Hawkes

Bridesmaid

Our fiance's are best friends and even proposed within a week of each other without having an idea. We are such good friends that during a toast, Andrew said "I love you" for the first time in front of KC and Shane. She has been there for many fun/memorable times-- and many more to come!

Brian Cook

Groomsman

Cousin to Andrew, call him another big brother; the biggest actually. Despite his size, he is one of the more intelligent Gaidis's of this generation. He is someone Andrew always looks up to, and looks to for advice. This scales from a major life altering decision, or a contemplation on how many orders of chicken fingers to get. A man with many stories, and whom is also getting married this October! If you want to know the type of bond these guys have, ask Brian about the Philly story, or the fence, or ACL, or chicken. I'm out of characters in this text area otherwise I'd write more.

Julie Locher

Bridesmaid

Krista's side kick when we lived in Arlington and Austin. Sadly, we live in different timezones now but make the most of reunions! Throw a bottle of mezcal her way and you will be instant friends. Also, be sure to keep the following combination separate: bag of Doritos, her sofa, and Andrew-she likes things tidy. Well, nobody likes a pile of Dorito dust on the sofa anyhow.

Chris Carl

Groomsman

Best friend to Andrew since Sophomore year of college. Both share the love of the Giants and pretty much anything that comes from New Jersey. Put on some Springsteen and watch his face turn bright red. From the rum, not the music.

Liz Safranek

Bridesmaid

College roomies! Liz and Krista met freshman year at JMU where Liz practically moved into Krista and her roommate's dorm room. They have managed to stay super close, regardless of where they lived. We are actually closer friends now then we we lived together.

Scott Williams

Groomsman

Best friend to Andrew since Sophomore year of college. Living up in Candor, NY with his beautiful new baby boy Bryce. Nothing bonded them more together than the love of classic rock, and the finest, cheapest whiskey college could afford. Also was a part of the original tres amigos suave.

Isabelle Gallagher

Flower Girl

The youngest of the crew (just turned one!) Isabelle is Krista's niece. She has much peer pressure to "walk" down the aisle and training is in full swing. We are certain whatever happens, it will be adorable- just like her!
