Wedding Party
Erin King (Rinny)
Maid of Honor
Erin and I met at Magnificat in 2005, went to Xavier together and are still best friends. She and I are "sisters from a different mister." We've traveled together, roomed together in college (oofta haha), we have hundreds of inside jokes and we've been there for each other through thick and thin. I am so glad, and blessed, that she said yes to being my Maid of Honor. I have no doubts in my heart or mind that she and I will be friends for life.
Greg Tripi
Best Man
Greg is my oldest brother and we share a love of Cleveland Sports. Some of my favorite moments with him involve CLE teams, such as sneaking down to Indianapolis for a Cavs game back in High School or going to Game 1 of the World Series. I am, however, most looking forward to having him as my Co-Best man!
Ashley (Sheehan) Thompson
Bridesmaid
Ashley and I met in Kindergarten and have been friends since: 26 years! She is like my seeeester and my 'friend soulmate.' We have a very similar sense of humor and in 2018 we traveled with other Magnificat Alumni to France on a retreat. I love her dearly and am so glad that she said yes to being my bridesmaid.
Daniel Tripi
Best Man
My 2nd Best Man may not share my love of sports like Greg, but there is no one I like talking to more about movies and television shows than Daniel. One of my favorite places to hang out with him is at Dave and Busters and cannot wait to go there again with him. He is someone that always has my back when I need it and I am excited to have him as my Co-Best Man.
Bekah Tripi
Bridesmaid
Bekah and I met through our significant others - Patrick and his cousin Nick (Bekah's now husband), while Patrick and Nick were living together. Bekah and I became friends and have bonded over our guys' shenanigans as well as a mutual understanding that if pants have belt loops, a belt is required even if they fit fine. I'm so glad that Bekah and I will be official cousins soon, as well as friends.
Nick Tripi
Groomsman
Nick and I really started becoming close about 5 years ago when we both decided to venture into the world of the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering! Since then, we have been housemates, gone on vacations together, and joined a shuffleboard league with our significant others.
Kristin Olson
Bridesmaid
Kristin, Patrick's sister, and I have grown closer over the last few years - especially on a family trip to Hilton Head last summer. I appreciate Kristin's kindness, thoughtfulness and 'welcome to the family' attitude! I am SO glad she said 'yes' to being a bridesmaid and I cannot wait to have a sister (in-law)!
Eric Olson
Groomsman
It's always fun to talk with and spend time with my brother-in-law, Eric. I love getting the chance to play board games with him, especially games that he created! Getting to spend time together, on family vacation in Hilton Head last summer brought us closer together and I look forward to spending more time with him in the future! Especially spending time together leading up to the wedding!
Amy Fitzgerald
Bridesmaid
Amy and her husband Kevin were the first of Patrick's friends that I met. Amy and I quickly bonded over a love of cooking and playing board games. I love our 'couples' board game nights and now we can also bond over funny stories about our kiddos. Thank you, Amy for saying 'yes' and being in my bridal party! *to many more fun game nights, couples date nights and kiddo play dates ahead*
Kevin Fitzgerald
Groomsman
I have known Kevin since our days as friends in Elementary School but really became close after college. Even though he is a Steelers fan, I enjoy watching and talking football with him. And no hangout with him is complete without playing some NBA JAM on his arcade machine (which I absolutely dominate him in).
Abby Wick
Bridesmaid
Abby and I met in Kindergarten and have been friends since (26 years)! We spent much of our lives together, playing volleyball, having sleepovers, being goofy etc. Abby is a part of my family and I have always felt like a part of hers. We are also both moms to little girls (7 and 6 respectively) who now attend the same grade school and are friends! yes! I am so so happy that Abby is standing beside me on my wedding day! again.
Christopher Tripi
Groomsman
Anytime I went to my grandparents house growing up, Chris was always the first cousin I looked for to see if he was there also. I always loved getting the chance to hang out with him and that has continued on throughout the years. We have had a lot of memorable times together, most recently going on a couple of road trips to Nashville, and then another to New York.
Katie Sabol
Bridesmaid
Katie is one of Patrick's best friends from college and she was the friend that I was most nervous to meet. But looking back, I don't know why. Katie is so outgoing and easy to get along with! We both have kids (different ages) and we both love to pick on Patrick. Katie's got some great stories about Patrick from his college years! She's the best and I love getting together with her and her husband, Thomas. I cannot wait for all the fun we'll have leading up to and at the wedding celebration! Thank you, Katie for being a bridesmaid!!
Taylor Z
Groomsman
My friendship with Taylor began in Middle School and has continued on to this day. We have always shared a love of board games. Some of those games include Settlers of Catan, Magic, JackBox Games and many many more!
