BOGEY AND TURNER TIE THE KNOT
Wedding Party
Alex Lohnes
Best Man
I met Alex back in high school in San Diego. We both were heavily invested in sports and had some heated debates back in the day. We randomly ended up in the same dorm at Oregon and have been close friends since then, making lots of embarrassing memories along the way. Through rain-stormed football games, cross-country Skype sessions and tons of rounds of bad golf, Alex has been such a close and true friend, and I couldn't think of a better person to have by my side.
Kristin Bowman
Maid of Honor
I’ve known Kristin (aka Squeaky) since we were toddlers. Our families went to the same church and we grew up going to PreK together. We were stuck to each other like glue. Kristin and I have been friends for 30 years and share a love for adventure. She has taught me so much about life and how to put yourself first. I love this girl with all my heart and can’t wait to have her by my side on my wedding day!!
Matt Nosco
Groomsman
Matt and I met on the staff of the Award-winning publication the Newton Daily News. Right away I could see he was a smart guy, who seemed weirdly out of place in rural Newton. We kept in touch after I moved away and fate brought us back together when I literally ran into on the streets of San Francisco. He's witty and engaging, and he cares deeply about people. He's been a great friend to Kelly and me since, and he graciously embraced the idea of officiating our wedding.
Sky Behrens
Maid of Honor
Sky is my ride or die. She has been there through the turmoil of middle and high school and through many life changes. She is a wonderful soul and someone I trust with my life. I am so proud of the woman she has become and am honored to be her friend. We will always be there for each other.
Ty Rushing
Groomsman
Ty and I started one day apart at the Newton Daily News. We became friends almost immediately, bonding over video games and off-the-record comments in my local sports stories. Ty is the life of the party, an immediate friend to anyone he meets and genuinely just enjoys life. His friendship meant so much as I was getting used to life after college and moving away from home. Whether it's sports trash-talking, politics or life-event discussions, I know I can go to Ty with any problem and he will give it to me straight.
Fitore Bennett
Bridesmaid
Fitore and I met during a mutual friends Bachelorette party. I remember being stressed about the drive and the girl that I offered to drive (15 hours in the car with someone I didn’t know). We ended up jamming out to Cher on the entire car ride home and have been friends ever since. She has been there for me through so much and is one of the most beautiful kind souls I have ever had the luck of meeting!
John Mastromarino
Groomsman
John and his wife Amy were a couple of my first friends after I moved to Florida. We shared an interest in watching WWE, typically laughing about how bad it is while simultaneously looking up Wrestlemania tickets. John also provided valuable advice and endured my horrible single dating stories before meeting Kelly. Some of my best times in Florida were playing golf with John, going to Wrestlemania with them and at their house and riffing in awful New England accents while the Red Sox and Pats were playing.
Kimmy Thorpe
Bridesmaid
When I moved to Tampa I was very much into triathlons. I posted on a Facebook group seeking a training partner and I’m so thankful Kimmy replied! We shared many training rides, runs and swims (she always lapped me in the pool) but got to know each other as girlfriends. Training rides turned into wine nights and she and I always end up rolling on the floor laughing!
Chris Bogey
Groomsman
Chris is Kelly's brother, and we are very excited to have him as a part of the wedding party! I have gotten to know Chris, his wife Heather and their son Ty over the past three years and they have made me feel like family. He's been great to talk golf and wine with, and he always has the best selections chilled and ready. It's been great getting to know them, spending holidays at their house and watching the little guy tee it up in competition.
Kelly Bauer
Bridesmaid
When I worked for a public accounting firm part of my role was working with interns. Kelly was an Audit Intern from FSU and I had an absolute blast the first time we hung out! She is such a kind person, and I’m so excited for her own upcoming wedding! Not only do we share the same name, we share a great friendship and I can’t wait to see what adventures we’ll have!
