Bobby & Meagan
Wedding Party
Ashleigh Jennings
Matron of Honor
Ashleigh and I used to tell people that we were friends from before we were born because our moms met at a neighborhood Christmas party when they were pregnant with us. We started our MSU time together when we attended MSU's preschool. Ashleigh even taught me the MSU fight song on the way to school. Ashleigh and I fulfilled our preschool dream of going to college and living together, which we did for our last two years at MSU! Pictured above are Ashleigh and I dressed up for a wedding! I'm honored to have my oldest friend as my Matron of Honor!
Kenny Rau
Best Man
My best man and my best bro! I have known Kenny for 31 years, since the day he was born. We've been through both good times and some bad times together, but I don't think anyone knows me better than him. Playing and watching sports together, vacations, and concerts are some of the things we've done together. Kenny is one of the most caring and outgoing guys I know, not to mention a sports trivia genius. I got the opportunity last year to be his best man, so of course I wanted him to stand right next to me on my wedding day.
Elissa Malone
Bridesmaid
Elissa and I met at a gymnastics class at the YMCA when we were in preschool. Shortly after, Elissa and her family moved into my neighborhood. Elissa and I even started our own club, the ME (Meagan & Elissa) Club. We have continued to hold meetings through out the last 25+ years even though we went to college in different countries and haven't lived in the same state since high school! Pictured above are Elissa and I after a Spartan win at the Cotton Bowl! I'm so glad that the ME Club is still in existence today and I'm honored to have Elissa by my side!
Jimmy Spaulding
Groomsman
Jimmy and I go way back. I've known him for about 17 years, since we both played water polo and were on the swim team together in high school. We took a couple years apart after high school, but ended up running into each other in East Lansing. Jimmy lived with me for a couple years, and helped me remodel the first floor of my house. I even officiated his wedding a couple years ago. He is one of the most helpful people I know, and I'm honored to have Jimmy standing up with me.
Chelsea Hallman
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and I met in middle school and played club volleyball together in 8th grade. Our club team ended the season in 1st place in the state, but sadly neither of us were tall enough to continue our volleyball careers in high school. We reconnected in our AP Calculus class senior year and have remained friends ever since! Fast forward a few years and Chelsea and I were roommates during our sophomore year of college. We even had a pet gerbil named Phoebe that we kept in our dorm room. Pictured above are Chelsea and I at Tamber Bey Vinyard. I'm so glad Chelsea has remained my friend over the years I am honored to have her standing with me!
Tamiem Morsi
Groomsman
I met Tamiem about 15 years ago. We were in the same hallway in the dorms freshman year of college, and ended up also being housemates senior year. Our mutual interests of music, movies, and sports brought us together and have kept us friends for so long. We've gone to multiple concerts with each other over the years, and rocked out at every one. We now both work at Dart Container, so it's great being able to see him and eat lunch together often. He is one of the funniest, most sarcastic people I know, which is why I'm glad to have him stand up next to me.
Ashley Szado
Bridesmaid
I met Ashley through Chelsea freshman year of college. Ashley and Chelsea were assigned to live in the same dorm room after each of them went in blind. Since they only lived one building away, I spent a lot of time over there freshman year! Between our weekly Grey's Anatomy dates and our love for MSU sports, we decided to get an apartment together for our last two years of college! Pictured above are Ashley and I riding the Dumbo ride at Disney World when we went to a Spartan bowl game. I am very lucky that Chelsea and Ashley were placed together and I honored to have Ashley standing up with me!
Matt Sornig
Groomsman
I have known Matt for about 14 years. We went to college together, and were roommates senior year. I met Matt through mutual friends in the early college days, and he has become one of my best friends ever since. He was always there for me when I needed someone, and helped me meet a lot of my best friends that I still have today. We've gone on numerous trips, concerts, and sports games together, as well as themed bar crawls in various locations. Matt is one of the happiest, most positive people I know, and I'm glad to have him standing up with me.
Maggie Szarowicz
Bridesmaid
Maggie and I met through Ashley and other mutual friends during our junior year at MSU. We quickly became friends/Froomies (Future-Roommates), and eventually real roommates when Maggie moved into our apartment senior year! Maggie and I arrived 2 hours early to every basketball game senior year so that we could have good seats in the Izzone! In college, we loved watching TV shows together and Maggie reinstated our TV watching dates when I was living in Grand Rapids for graduate school and she had moved back for her career. Pictured above are Maggie and I at a football tailgate post graduation. I'm so glad that we are still friends today and I'm honored to have her standing with me!
Brian Steffes
Groomsman
I met Brian for the first time about 9 years ago, when Matt (above) and I went to Austin, TX to meet up with him for New Year's (Brian and Matt are childhood friends). Our mutual love for 80's music, dancing, Detroit sports, the environment/world, engineering/technology, and MSU meant we would remain great friends for all these years. We've danced and sang to many songs at various weddings over the years, as well as going to numerous games together, including watching the Spartans at the Rose Bowl together in 2014. Brian is one of the smartest people and biggest Spartan fans I know, and I'm honored to have him standing up with me at my wedding.
Dani Rau
Bridesmaid
Dani is Bobby's younger sister. Between country music, shopping, and the Michigan State Spartans, we have a lot in common. I have enjoyed getting to know Dani over the past year and I can't wait to hang out with her in the future. Pictured above are Dani and I at Wild Lights at the Detroit Zoo. I am so excited for Dani to be my new sister and honored to have her standing with me!
Kyle Elliot
Groomsman
I met Kyle shortly after I moved to East Lansing about 8 years ago, while tailgating with some mutual friends (Matt again) for an MSU game. Their tailgate was so much fun, that I made it my go-to spot for pretty much every home game. In addition to tailgating, we've gone to Lansing Lugnuts baseball games, zoo brews, and countless MSU games, including multiple Big Ten Championships. Kyle is one of the funniest guys I know, and I'm glad that he will be standing up with me at the wedding.
