Caitlan & Jon
Wedding Party
Jaclyn Smith
Bridesmaid | Bride's Sister
The bride's sister - also the beautiful and hard working mother of her three sweet nieces! Being the oldest, Jaclyn has gracefully led the way for the rest of the bunch.
Jake Ropson
Co-Best Man | Groom's Brother
He's the youngest of the Ropson clan and the groom's go-to for trivia knowledge. No surprise here, as he's majoring in engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. He's skilled on the slopes, the groom's fellow FIFA player and a loyal Barefoot wine drinker.
Macy Middleton
Bridesmaid | Bride's Sister
The sister who was blessed with the same fashion sense as the bride - you may even catch them in matching outfits. She's also the mother of two adorable nephews and the newest niece of the family. Macy’s zest for motherhood really excites the bride for little one’s of her own!
Kevin Mattson
Co-Best Man
Kevin and the groom go way back to "gorditos" days in high school, causing trouble on the swim team and producing their own albums. These two never let attending colleges 2,000 miles apart affect their friendship! It's possible that Kev was the mastermind behind the union of the bride and groom, but you should probably check with Sarah M. before believing anything.
Peyton Scheibner
Bridesmaid | Bride's Sister
The bride's sister who has acted the age she is now for the past 15 years - always ahead of her time! She's a boss babe and an Arbonne queen. Although she’s the youngest sister, she manages to inspire the whole family with her determination and fearless attitude. You’ll understand when you meet her!
Trevor Mott
Groomsman | Bride's Brother
Trev is the talented, selfless youngest sibling of the bride's family. He's got mad photography skills and consistently demands fresh-baked banana bread from the bride. He may just get a loaf one of these days...
Stephanie Otto
Bridesmaid | Groom's Sister
Steph is truly the jack of all trades - smart, trendy and an amazing cook/baker. She gives the groom a run for his money when it comes to sports knowledge and trivia. The bride is excited to gain a sister-in-law her same age!
Aaron Otto
Groomsman | Brother-In-Law
Aaron and Steph started dating when they were 15, so he's been a part of the Ropson family for quite some time! You can find this die-hard Packer fan hanging with the groom to partake in their favorite hobbies - golf and FIFA. Rain or shine, Aaron and the groom will make the most of an open Sunday afternoon.
Sara Ropson
Bridesmaid | Groom's Sister
Sara and the groom are two peas in a pod, sharing interests in game day talk and dabbing. She's the ultimate weekday roommate of the bride and groom, accompanying the bride for hot yoga, baking and reality tv shows. She's also the best pup aunt out there to Pinot & Rosé.
Mike Lauricella
Groomsman
Mike is the former roommate of the groom and the most passionate, friendly guy you'll probably ever meet. Even though Mike is a New Jersey native and still lives there today, this hasn't changed his friendship with the groom one bit. They at least make a point to plan annual reunions!
Sarah Mattson
Bridesmaid
Sarah and the bride go back to pretty much the day that Sarah was born. She's like a sister, best friend and match-maker, all in one! Being a former roommate of the bride and a good friend of the groom’s since high school, Sarah takes credit for this wedding coming into fruition. We think Kev has a different story though...
Ryan O'Shaughnessy
Groomsman
As a fellow Seton Hall swimmer and roommate, Ryan has been making the groom's life more adventurous for the past 8 years now. From pitchers of margaritas to questionable Uber rides around New York, Ryan and the groom have made a ton of exhilarating memories together.
Mallory McCormick
Bridesmaid
The bride became best friends with Mallory in the fourth grade, not only because she's a beauty with the most genuine heart, but also because Mallory is the bride’s middle name... so naturally. If you want to meet Mallory while in Hilton Head, you’ll most likely find her on the beach for sunrise or sunset - she has a fascination with views like that!
Matt Benson
Groomsman
Matt and the groom have a unique friendship that started in middle school when they briefly met at annual swim meets. Ironically enough, they both ended up at Seton Hall with swim scholarships - that's where they became acquainted on another level. Matt is an engaged man himself, and the groom is lucky enough to play a role in his big day also. In Austria of all places!
Brittany Dunn
Bridesmaid
Brittany, from Chelsea. She’s truly one of a kind! Don’t let her accent fool you though - she’s from McKinney, TX. She’s a gorgeous lady of faith who can make the bride laugh at just about anything. Brittany and the bride have been friends for the past 5 years and thank goodness not a minute later!
Joey Lacus
Groomsman
A want to be Steve Jobs, this Italian gentlemen came into the groom's life during their freshman year of college. Joey is a fun time and also an anchor for their group of guys. He and his wife, Marie, have been close friends with the groom for the past 8 years.
Jessica Saunders
Bridesmaid
Although Jessi and the bride go back to high school English class, they became great friends later in life. Jessi has an amazing light and energy about her, so it’s no surprise that the bride loves her so much! You may mistake Jessi for a supermodel at the wedding... you'll know when you see her. ;-)
Tom Gottlieb
Groomsman
SHU swim team groupie and manager of the baseball team, Tom is a special character who brings humor into everything. Early mornings at school never prevented his late night shenanigans with the groom.... which there were plenty of!
Kelsey Shaikh
Bridesmaid
People say that ABC's the Bachelor doesn't produce lasting relationships, but they're wrong. Kelsey and the bride's friendship sparked over season 18 and they've been friends ever since! Being a Chicago native, the odds of meeting without the show were slim. Kelsey is so much fun, super stylish and a top notch dog mom to her adorable pup, Henry.
Brittany Saunders
Bridesmaid
The bride was lucky enough to become great friends with two Saunders ladies! Brittany is an incredibly fun and sweet, world traveler. Brittany and the bride relate in so many ways, especially when it comes to their witty relationships with their significant others!
