Wedding Party

Taylor DePaola

Maid of Honor

Taylor is Brittney’s sister who loves concerts and breweries and both combined are her ideal good time. Together they love dancing to Spice Girls and Katy Perry. 💃🏼 Back in the day they rocked out some serious N64 🎮 Mario Party and Mario Golf tournaments in the basement. James Bond was a serious other favorite but only when their Dad nicknamed “Ming” would play too; and speaking of alter egos, Taylor used to go by Molly in these tournaments and Brittney Sheba.

Kaitlyn Schmit

Matron of Honor

Kaitlyn and Brittney met in middle school and through the years became the best of friends. They became experts at sneaking into the Marriott in Rosemont to use the pool 💦, frequently made “bullfrog” drinks to bring to Cubs games 🍻⚾️, and never missed an opportunity to sneak people into Brittney’s parents basement 🙊.

Kate Gelbart

Bridesmaid

Kate and I met back in 2006 at Indiana University when we both became “Chi-O’s.” 🙅🏼‍♀️🙆🏼‍♀️Our first night out together was a “wine and cheese” frat party 🥂🧀🍷and they never looked back. Kate has always been as the 3rd daughter in the DePaola family and is always considered my 2nd sister.

Maggie Presby

Bridesmaid

Brittney met Maggie working at Nordstrom back in 2012 and quickly formed a friendship. They would dance thejr faces off in Chicago until the wee hours of the morning 💃🏼 but I always knew Maggie would make us a healthy brunch the very next day 🍳🥓. When Britt was asked to moved to DC she was bummed because Maggie and her were just starting on their friendship adventure. Needless to stay that hasn’t stop us from becoming the best of friends.

Chelsea Hoenig

Bridesmaid

Chelsea and Britt met at Nordstrom back in 2013 when Chelsea walked into the back room for her new manager role. It was in that stockroom where blood, sweat, and tears was an every day occurrence. Chelsea was the one who introduced Britt to her “crew” friends and made us all form this unbreakable bond. 💖👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩💖

Eric Zapfe

Bridesman

Eric and Britt became partners in crime for the men’s team at Nordstrom back in 2014. Together, we won two contests together where we were able to head to LA; which was where the real bond formed. 👯‍♀️Eric visited Britt in DC multiple times and became someone that would always stand by her side. Eric frequently enjoys carrying Brittney’s handbags when she doesn’t care to hold them. 🤣

Chris Ciulla

Groomsman

Caitlin Wysocki

Bridesmaid

CJ and Brittney met their senior year of high school back when the girls all had bleach blonde hair. 🤣CJ was always the life of the party but over the years formed their connection over their love and obsession for working out 🏃🏼‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️ 🧘🏼‍♀️; needless to say the sweat crawl was one of Brittney’s favorite memories with CJ a few years ago.

Michelle Hofilena

Bridesmaid

Michelle and Britt became best friends during the festivities surrounding Maggie’s wedding. Whether it was the shower, bachelorette, or wedding they danced the night away together. One of the things they really had in common was their love of Asian cuisine making Michelle her “dump-ring” 🥟 (insert Asian voice here). 🤣
