Alyssa & Christopher
Wedding Party
Malea Munger
Bridesmaid
Alyssa's sister from another mister, literally. Same mom, different dads, but that didn't stop these two from becoming closer than sisters. With a shared love of wine, California, music, and laughter nothing can come between these two.
Tessa Mungaray
Bridesmaid
Tessa is Alyssa's younger sister. She is, without a doubt, one of the funniest people on the planet. When Tessa, Malea, and Alyssa are together its constant laughter and inside jokes.
Emily Peacock
Bridesmaid
Emily and Alyssa are childhood best friends. When Emily's family moved into the neighborhood, only a backyard ally away, the hardest decision was who's house they were going to spend the night at each weekend. Although adulthood has taken them all over the globe, they remained close.
Chad Craner
Bridesman
Chad and Alyssa were most likely separated at birth. With a shared love of musicals and breaking out into song and dance at any moment they were destined to be together. They met at Starbucks, decided to be best friends, went on a 13 hour road trip to Portland, decided to move there on a whim, and change their lives forever. Alyssa may not have made it to Oregon without Chad, and if Alyssa didn't move to Oregon she never would have met Chris!
Mark Zilli
Groomsman
Mark and Chris first met as high school students at rival Catholic schools in the Dayton area, when they would play occasional games of backyard football and Axis and Allies. They both ended up at Case Western where they lived together for all four years and continued to bond over mutual love of board games, racquetball, whiskey (when they were of age), and eating blueberry blasters from the vending machines at 3 in the morning. Mark currently lives with his wife, Rachael, and their two kids in Cincinnati, OH.
Luke Cuculus
Groomsman
Stolen from Luke's wedding website (Thanks for doing the legwork, Luke): "Chris and Luke both completed their PhDs at the University of Illinois, in Charles Schroeder's lab. They spent days in the lab imaging DNA, working on projects other students would literally give their right arms for. They spent their nights at the ARC, working out and eating Quest bars. They spent their weekends drinking whiskey, smoking cigars, eating popcorn, and playing Big Buck Hunter." Luke now lives with his wife, Taylor, in the Baltimore area and works for the Boston Consulting Group.
Seth Morton
Groomsman
Chris first met Seth on his second day of work at Intel when Seth scolded/corrected Chris about how he set up his Outlook calendar sharing, so needless to say...fast friends. Over time, Seth and Chris bonded over their shared interest in playing board games, roller coasters, and drinking wiskey. Seth had to take the brunt of Chris's uncertainties and advice seeking when he started getting into the online dating scene. Ultimately, Seth helped Chris craft some of the witty messages to Alyssa that led to their first date, for which Chris will be forever grateful.
Megan Susco
Groomswoman
Megan is Christopher's favorite sister from the same mother. They grew up together sharing their love of music, family vacations, and watching Passions after school to go along with the occasional sibling fight or two.
