Meet the Wedding Party
Lydia Reed
Matron of Honor
Hi, I am Lydia Reed! I first met Randi in high school and we quickly became best friends - bonding over our love for lacrosse. We enjoy long walks on a trail with coffee in hand. At the wedding, you'll find me crying happy tears and having fun on the dance floor! If you find yourself chatting with her, topics of conversation could include babies and biking.
Keith Carter
Best Man
Hello! My name is Keith Carter, I am the brother of the groom. I am a below average handyman, and I am an even worse mechanic, but I am a GREAT brother! I met Mike on day one and no matter how hard I tried to get rid of him, Mom said we have to keep him. We share many memories together, but my favorite is watching you pitch little league baseball with Mom and Pap. If you find yourself chatting with him, topics of conversation could include fishing and boating!
Stephanie Steglik
Bridesmaid
Hey! I'm Stephanie Steglik! I met Randi at the VA. We worked together for years and kept each other sane while working through the pandemic. My favorite memory of Randi was when she scared me at work, while I had apple juice in my hand for a patient. I screamed and yelled "you mothertrucker!" And I spilled some juice. We laughed so hard and our boss yelled out that we were being inappropriate which only made me laugh more!! I was always the one scaring people and Randi finally got me good! I miss working with her! I love her so much and I am so grateful to be a part of Michael and Randi's beautiful day!!! If you find yourself chatting with her, topics of conversation could include basket weaving and dogs!
Joseph Polselli
Groomsman
Hi my name is Joe Polselli. Mike and I have been friends for a little over a decade. We met through mutual friends at the Bowling Palace where we both had worked at some point during high school. Over the years our friendship has grown and we have become very close, I’d like to think that our hobbies of working on our cars and riding dirt bikes together has been a driving factor. My most vivid memory of Mike was watching him crash his dirt bike into not one but two trees on one of our rides, this incident took him a while to recover and I’m sure he still has memories of that day and maybe a scar or two. If you find yourself chatting with him, topics of conversation could include going to the Jersey shore and amateur wine maker!
Samantha Ostrow
Bridesmaid
Hi I’m Samantha! I met Randi in high school, around 2007 or 2008? A LONG TIME AGO! Randi was best friends with my sister Lydia (and still is!) She soon became a part of our family and is like a sister to me. She has always been a sweet friend and someone you can depend on to be there… from trusty gym partner to girls nights! I am so excited to celebrate Randi and Mike! If you find yourself chatting with her, topics of conversation could include Jesus, chickens, gardening, homesteading and being a mama and wife!
Jared Jackson
Groomsman
Hi! I’m Jared Jackson! Mike and I met through our buddy Joe Polselli. Mike and I bonded over our love for fast things on two wheels. You can find us riding mountain bikes and shredding on dirt bikes! Some of my favorite memories with Mike is riding our dirt bikes at AOAA and getting schwifty on any mountain bike trail!! If you find yourself chatting with him, topics of conversation could include music festivals and volleyball!
Amanda McGinley
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Amanda McGinley. I am lucky to be married to my awesome husband Matt. We just joined the crazy (but amazing) world of parenthood in October and have a lovely daughter named Grace. We are both nurses and funny enough, nursing school is what originally brought Randi into our lives. I first met Randi in microbiology class where she was Stuck with me as her slacker lab partner and we made fond memories while collecting samples off various surfaces of the college campus (toilets, hand rails, other gross things). Little did I know I had made a forever friend. Life kept bringing us together and eventually landed us working on the same unit at the VA where I got to work along side her for the last 3 years. My best memories of Randi are our lunch dates at work where we would convince either Mike or Matt to bring us chic-fil-A and then lose track of time venting, laughing, day dreaming about finding our dream jobs and then realizing we actually had to get back to work haha. Randi is the kind of friend that you wish you had found sooner in life. I can always count on her to make me laugh and back me up. I am beyond excited that she is marrying the love of her life and so happy to be a part of their journey. If you find yourself chatting with her, topics of conversation could include wine making, snorkeling and being a mama to baby Grace!
Matthew McBratnie
Groomsman
Hi I'm Matt McBratnie I am a graphic designer and I live in South Orange New Jersey with my beautiful wife. Mike and I go all the way back to High School class of 09. I first met Mike in English class freshman year. The class only had 3 kids in it so we pretty much had to be friends. Fun fact in a school with thousands of kids me an Mike ended up being in each others English class all 4 years of High School. Some of my favorite memories with Mike are when we would come and entertain each other when we were bored at work and just drive around and go to Taco Bell to cash in on those $1 Crunchwrap supreme deals. I always have a good time when Mike's around! If you find yourself chatting with him, topics of conversation could include anything Philadelphia sports related.
Stephanie Carter
Honorary Bridesmaid
Hello, I am Steph Carter! I’m the sister of the groom! I am happiest when spending time with family, (our nieces give me life!!), out in nature or home with my two cats and a good book! I met Randi in our parents backyard when she was visiting my brother while he worked on a bike. My favorite memories of Randi are when we go to the trampoline park with our nieces! It is always an amazing time! I am looking forward to the wedding and many more memories to come! If you find yourself chatting with her, topics of conversation could include traveling and sports!
