Kaitlin & Matthew
Wedding Party
Aileen
Maid of Honor
It was August of 1989 when Aileen met Kate for the first time. She might have encouraged her parents to attempt a return, but alas a bond of sisters was made. Through the highs and lows of life together, they have always had each others back. Aileen is responsible for Kate's love of such shows like ER, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Law and Order, and the Real World as well as her appreciation for the slash horror genre with films like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Dan
Best Man
Dan, affectionately know as JD, and Matt have known each-other since Freshman year at Monmouth University where they were roommates in a 12 person suite. They share a love of cars, motorsports, and cycling.
Chelsea
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and Kate take their friendship wayy back to 5th grade when they had a mutual dislike of each other, until they realized that there was false propaganda being pivoted against the other by an outside source. Time has made them closer than friends and more like sisters. Kate looks forward to the comeback of DJ C$ for all wedding related activities.
Emma
Groomswoman
Emma, Matt's sister, has been ever-present in his life... well forever. Through plenty of good times and fights they still are best of friends. Through their love of Preston & Steve they share an inside lexicon that Jeff and Kate just don't understand. No sad bro, it's (a) Friday (wedding)!
Torie
Bridesmaid
Torie and Kate have known each other since around 7th grade. Quickly becoming friends in highschool, they haven't looked back since. Forever Kate's plus one to events until they met their significant others, Torie has played a pivotal role in Kate's life. Also an in memoriam must be mentioned for all of the bunnies Torie killed in her car while driving with Kate.
Will
Groomsman
Will and Matt's friendship began many years ago at Peddler's Shop in Deptford, NJ where they worked on and sold bicycles together. They were roommates for most of Matt's stint in Colorado and have remained great friends. Matt is hoping to cash in on Will's extensive woodworking experience for some pieces for the house.
Kiersten
Bridesmaid
Kiersten and Kate met while working at a local bar. They quickly became friends, bonding through their 12+ hour shifts during football season. Kiersten #Blessed Kate with the privilege of being her daughter's godmother. Kiersten remains to this day the sexiest chick that Kate knows.
Kyle
Groomsman
Matt and Kyle met almost by accident a few years ago at the Cere's Park trailhead in Mantua, NJ. They struck up a conversation about Matt's car, a VW GTI. Kyle has a VW as well and was curious about it. That lead to an exchange of numbers and promises of future mountain bike rides and brewery visits, of which there have been many with more to come.
Emma
Bridesmaid
Emma and Kate went to nursing school together, but did not become friends until they started their nursing career on the same floor. They quickly became fast friends and solidified their friendship through dark humor and nursing trauma. Kate can always count on Emma, even if it takes 2 business days for her to respond to a text.
Dean
Groomsman
Dean and Matt met in JROTC in high school where they quickly became friends. They spent lots of time working on Dean's countless amount of cars over the years that always seemed to need some amount of work. Now they commiserate over house projects, of which seem to be never ending for both.
Greg
Officiant
Dr. Gregory Bukowski has been known to be a charismatic figure in his time and seemed to be the perfect candidate in Kate and Matt's eyes to unite them in holy matrimony. Known to have a flair for the arts, we can only hope that he tops Moira Rose in his delivery of our union.
