Lauren & Kevin
Wedding Party
Jordan Barden
Matron of Honor
Jordan is my younger sister and longest-running partner in crime!
Jennifer Radtke
Bridesmaid
Jenni is a CGA classmate. We actually became friends while we were in high school, the year before we went to the Academy. We were roommates at some point nearly every year, and no matter the time or distance apart, we can always pick up right where we left off.
Marguerite Mullen
Bridesmaid
Marguerite is a CGA classmate and my first roommate during swab summer. I put her on the spot when I disappeared from our room the first night, and we have been close friends looking out for each other ever since.
Rebecca Redstone
Bridesmaid
Beki is a CGA classmate. We became close friends when I invited myself to her house for Valentines Day during a long weekend from the CGA. The rest is history!
Margaret Kratz
Bridesmaid
Margaret is a CGA classmate and my international travel buddy. Through the last couple of years we have traveled across the globe together to Germany and Nepal. Where will we go next?!
Natalie Bernadt
Bridesmaid
Natalie is a CGA classmate. We were also stationed on CGC Escanaba together for our first tour in Boston, where we explored the city and binge watched seasons of Friends and Sex and the City while we were underway.
Jennifer Keefe
Bridesmaid
Jen is my future sister-in-law. She is incredibly talented and one of the funniest people I know!
Christina Keefe
Bridesmaid
Christina is my future sister-in-law. We can always count on her to keep us trendy and recommend the best food in town!
Ted Cetrulo
Best Man
Ted is one of my best friends from the Coast Guard Academy. T$ is also known as "T'pedia" due to his extensive knowledge of useless information.
Mike Moyseowicz
Best Man
Moy is one of the "Bros" from Charlie Company in 2005 at the world's finest military academy. Has a near-instantaneous backlog of every picture taken of one of his friends that make them look stupid, but somehow all pictures of him have been erased from the internet.
Paul Schmitz
Groomsman
One of my first roommates at the Coast Guard Academy. Fun Fact: Schmitty is the most likely member of the bridal party to end up shirtless with a doo-rag on during the reception.
Matt Ulmer
Groomsman
Where do I even start? Another one of the "Bros" from the Academy. Has many talents. An excellent singer, he tried out for a boy band once. Another is his well-known command of the english language. He is also extremely punctual. He also has a secret language with his twin brother called, "wookie".
Robert Palladino
Groomsman
Rob, or "Dino" as I have known him for the last 25 years is my oldest friend. Our bonds were forged on the mean streets outside Winn Brook Elementary School and continued through high school where we were affectionately known on the baseball field as the "Belmont Connection". Dino also has the distinction of smoking me in every public speaking opportunity in his entire life.
Kevin Vona
Groomsman
Has the distinction of being the only one of the groomsman to have been my roommate after college. Lucky him. Our prowess on the Wiffleball field put Belmont, MA on the map for the Virginia Beach Backyard Sports Wiffleball League. At the reception, he will likely be spotted sweating profusely on the dance floor teaching everyone the dance to Copperhead Road.
Ryan Masse
Groomsman
Ryan's major claim to fame was as the game-winning and all-star pitcher on the 1995 Belmont Little League Championship baseball team, where he threw a 15K, complete game gem to defeat the vaunted Rangers. An excellent golfer, he became a PGA Golf Professional, but was unable to improve the golf game of his friends, namely, Me.
Joe Harvey
Groomsman
Friend from Belmont, Joe and I make up perhaps the most formidable drinking game team in recent history, not having lost a drinking game since 2015.
