Abby & Brett
Wedding Party
Grace Barnett
Maid of Honor
My little sister who isn't so little anymore! My person, my telepathic communicator, my style coordinator, my whole entire heart. She was the little sister I prayed for, and God answered that prayer 1 million times over. If you see her at the reception, conversation topics can include: Pure Barre, Joanna Gaines cookbook, and her cat, Kitty.
RJ Moore
Best Man
I first met RJ for the Bucknell water polo pre-season training, 3-weeks before our freshman year… and despite splitting his lip a week after knowing him, he’s been one of my best friends ever since. We’ve gamed, brewed, distilled, and laughed at each other’s lamest jokes for the past eight years which I’m sure will only get worse as time goes on. If you see him at the reception, conversation topics can include: his favorite cocktails for every occasion (only using the best Bacardi / Patron products of course), his black lab Luna, the latest in NFTs
Katie Daniels
Matron of Honor
Katie took some time to warm up to me Freshman year but once I hooked her, we never looked back. She's the only person I can fill 10 consecutive days of conversation without a moment of silence. That's also why we probably talk on the phone every week for a minimum of 3 hours - much to Jesse & Brett's dismay. Long distance BFFs are hard but the reunions are so sweet :) If you see her at the reception, conversation topics can include: Big Brother, the Bachelor, and really any other reality TV Show...she doesn't discriminate!
Patrick McKenzie
Best Man
Pat and I started as Bucknell water polo players but over our 4 years, gradually transitioned to “semi-professional” long-distance drivers and top-tier home cooks. With 4 cross-country roadtrips and dozens of recipes from our college “test kitchens”, our love for Led Zeppelin stayed the same, but thankfully we became much better home cooks and less serious drivers. If you see him at the reception, conversation topics can include: up-and-coming tech companies, his black lab Boone, the latest recipes he’s mastered in the kitchen
Lauren Grady
Bridesmaid
I first met Lauren while she was living with Katie in Greenville in 2016 and I was overwhelmed with her warmth, acceptance, and fun loving nature. She was the friend I never expected and never knew I needed. No one makes me laugh harder while simultaneously pushing me to be the best version of myself! If you see her at the reception, conversation topics can include: lake life, home renovations, and her dog Penny
Sam Jubb
Groomsman
I met Sam later in our time at Bucknell but he quickly became an important person in my life. Luckily our time together wasn’t limited to Bucknell, with many miles walked (and beers drank) during his time working outside Düsseldorf, Germany and while we lived together in Queens. Whether walking to the diner down the street from our apartment or from the Financial District to Central Park we’ve always had something to debate or discuss. If you see him at the reception, conversation topics can include: any of his recent/upcoming triathlons, the latest news in space exploration, his newest discovery on Spotify
Shannon Cleary
Bridesmaid
If most people are intimidated at first by their future sister-in-law, I feel bad for them because from the moment I met Shannon I knew we would be close. Our time together is always filled with so many laughs (only about half of them at Brett's expense) and I can't wait to build our lives alongside each other in the years to come! If you see her at the reception, conversation topics can include: Boise State Football, hiking/camping out west, country music
Matt Bresnahan
Groomsman
Where to begin with Matt Bresnahan… I bet he doesn’t even know; but that’s all part of his charm. There’s never a dull moment with Brez, which is why some of my best college memories are with him. Thankfully the memories haven’t stopped, with pizza tours of Chicago and going to see Tame Impala at Lollapalooza a few years ago. If you see him at the reception, conversation topics can include: da’ Bears, the latest news from the commodities markets, the best pizza in Chicago
Mason Sanders
Bridesmaid
Mason and I were known as a "package deal" freshman year at Clemson. Where there was one, you knew the other was not far away. Even as distance separated us after graduation, Mason and I never skipped a beat. We always pick up like no time has passed at all! If you see her at the reception, conversation topics can include: Clemson Football, Branches Up Treehouse, your best book recommendation!
Mark Salvioli
Groomsman
Mark is up for anything: cross-country roadtrips in the middle of winter (including a midnight drive through a snow-blocked mountain pass), a long-weekend trip to meet Sam and I in Amsterdam, or visiting from Connecticut to try everything possible at notable restaurants. Whatever or wherever the occasion you always want Mark there and he always shows up. If you see him at the reception, conversation topics can include: the Yankees (or anything baseball really), his top picks for fantasy basketball, the latest in crypto-currencies
Morgan Martin
Bridesmaid
Morgan and I are approximately 11 months apart and had the luxury of growing up as both cousins and best friends! We have seen each other through our horse girl phase (no lie), our "full face of make up to head to the beach" phase, and college rivalry phase. I'm so excited to have her share this next phase with me! If you see her at the reception, conversation topics may include: her dachshund Winnie, comedy specials, and as much as it pains, Alabama Football (roll tide!)
Sadler Gensch
Bridesman
Sadler and my friendship has had so many iterations, from mentor/mentee to best friends to roommates. The one constant, who led us throughout all of the chaos and change of the past 8 years, is our true and rightful queen, Taylor Swift. Much like our friendship, she is our north star. If you see him at the reception, topics can include: Taylor Swift..., dance fitness, the difference between a "mood" and a "vibe"
