Katelyn & Austin
Wedding Party
Katelyn Lauren Cutola
Bride
Katelyn is a mathematics teacher at Moorhead Junior High. She attended Point Loma Nazarene University and received her BA from Cal State San Marcos. She was born and raised in Secaucus, NJ which is actually an island! She met and fell in love with Austin while she and her family were living in Carlsbad, CA for three years. She loves to spend time with her pups, Bandit and Rambis, and her kitties, PrettyPretty and TomTom.
John Austin Bridges
Groom
I bet you didn't know his given name is John! Austin works for CVS Corporation and has been an essential employee during the Covid pandemic. He was born and raised in Southern California. He's an avid golfer and one of the few Chargers fans left in this world. He proposed at their favorite place, Disney, in front of the Epcot sphere which, ironically, looks like a big golf ball! He enjoys living in Texas as it's where his dad, Chip (Pards), is from.
Sharon Cutola
Mother of the Bride
Sharon worked as VP of Technology for Citicorp in NYC before having Katelyn. She stayed home and then began her second career as a middle school math teacher. She and Katelyn's dad were high school sweethearts at Secaucus HS and they've been married 34 years. She has a very big heart and loves animals...she's saved and/or raised many including bunnies and birds.
Kevin Cutola
Father of the Bride
Kevin was born in Hoboken, NJ but his family moved to Secaucus when he was young. He met his wife, Sharon, in middle school but they didn't start dating until after their junior year. Kevin was a Secaucus Police Officer for 25 before retiring. He now spends his days (and some evenings) on the golf course. He loves a good cigar, Budweiser, and the Yankees. He's also been a Raiders fan his whole life!
Cindy Bridges
Mother of the Groom
Lovingly known as Bunky, Cindy is an interior designer. She has always felt that Austin was a special gift in her life and on Earth. She and her husband, Chip, have lived in several states but raised their family in southern California. Cindy has even designed homes for Chargers retiree LaDainian Tomlinson. Her decorating skills are second to none.
Chip Bridges
Father of the Groom
Chip is originally from Texas. His given name is John Richmond Bridges but he goes by Chip or Pards.

Today, Chip can be found on the greens or giving short game lessons.
