Megan & Michael
Wedding Party
Julia Scanlon
Maid of Honor
Julia has known Megan since birth, considering she is her younger sister. Growing up, Julia enjoyed all the things a younger sister does, stealing Megan’s clothes, reading her diary, etc. etc. Julia knew Mike was in it for the long haul when on the night she met him, he sat through a litany of Megan’s stories without saying a word. Since then she’s seen Mike and Megan be there for one another with love, compassion and trust; and extending that to their families, friends, and most importantly her dogphew, Chase. Julia is so excited to celebrate Megan and Mike on their big day! As the Maid of Honor, she’d like to let you know that everything that goes right was 100% her idea and anything that goes wrong was definitely the co-best men’s fault.
David Brisbane
Co-Best Man
Dave and Mike met their freshman of college, and have been inseparable since. They instantly bonded over St. Joes basketball, action movies, and a love of former Phillies slugger, Pat Burrell. After college, they lived together in both Manayunk and Fairmount. Although they live in different states now, Dave and Mike continue their Maverick and Goose antics whenever they are together. You can find them on weekends convincing Leanne (Dave's fiancé and fellow bridesmaid) and Meg to watch Top Gun.
Robert Santoleri
Co-Best Man
Rob and Mike met in 1st grade and have stuck together throughout high school and college. They have been teammates on countless teams and were even both finance majors. Rob and Mike have pushed each other to succeed at every stage of life, and have managed to have plenty of fun along the way. Mike and Rob both still live in the city where they spend their weekends playing tennis and frequenting beer gardens.
Bryan Hennessy
Groomsman
Mike and Bryan met while playing on the St. Joe’s rugby team in college. After graduation, Mike and Bryan grew closer as they frequented the same gyms. Bryan is the Apollo to Mike’s Rocky. These two are constantly pushing each to set goals and conquer them. That being said, they can also be found enjoying an IPA together just about every weekend with Katie (Bryan's fiancé) and Meg.
Chrissy Malkinski
Bridesmaid
Meg and Chrissy met during their memorable years at Morris Catholic High School. Their relationship began with a common love of the same people (fellow bridesmaids Danielle and Jessika). It only grew stronger as they drank and gossiped their way through college in different states. After college, their bond grew stronger as they planned what felt like 700 bridal showers and bachelorette parties together for their closest friends. Chrissy is so proud to be Meg's friend and is so excited for her and Mike to have their happily ever after!
Connor Hughes
Groomsman
Connor and Mike’s bromance started during an AGD formal (Meg’s sorority). Connor and Mike grew closer during the Manayunk days, where they shared a love of burgers, beer, and Notre Dame football. Mike views Connor as his professional mentor and is always checking in for industry tips. Conor moved out west with his wife, Courtney (fellow bridesmaid), and Mike and Meg were fortunate enough to take part in their beautiful wedding. While they live on opposite coasts now, they manage to keep their friendship strong through texts and snapchats of their dogs and their bourbon.
Courtney (Kaska) Hughes
Bridesmaid
Courtney and Meg were in the same sorority in college (dues are the down-payment on the sisterhood that lasts a lifetime!). After college, they lived down the street from each other in Manayunk and Fairmount, before Courtney moved to Oakland, Calfornia. Mike and Meg were in Courtney and (Groomsman) Connor's wedding a few years ago in Palm Springs, California. They make #longdistancefriendship work by scheduling many cross-country visits, tons of phone calls, and exchanging photos of their beloved dogs.
Danielle (Immerso) Bercier
Bridesmaid
Danielle and Meg met in high school and became close friends in junior year gym class when Danielle lent Meg the best hair tie ever. They stayed close throughout high school and into college, with many trips to visit each other and hangouts at Applebees and Danielle's parent's basement. After college, Danielle and Meg bonded over "moving to PA." Megan and Mike have since been in Danielle and her husband Jamey's wedding. Meg and Danielle keep close with visits and text messages about podcasts, tv shows, and funny stories about Danielle and Jamey's daughter Maria.
Devin Tanney
Bridesmaid
Meg and Devin met at Saint Joseph’s University through mutual friends. Devin knew Mike prior to meeting Meg, as her then-boyfriend-now-fiancé, Rob Manley (also a Groomsman), was already roommates and best buds with Mike. Meg and Devin quickly established a friendship and before long people were mistaking them for each other! After college, they moved to Philly and lived as roommates in Fairmount with their friend and fellow bridesmaid, Kelly. Although they're no longer roomies, Meg and Devin are still neighbors and can often be found grabbing drinks or attending Philly-inspired events in the city! Devin could not be happier for Meg and Mike and their upcoming wedding! She is so grateful to have them in her life and is honored to be a bridesmaid!
Jessika (Mas) Navata
Bridesmaid
Jessika and Meg met at Morris Catholic High School and it was love at first sight. (Whoops, that's for another website...just kidding). After graduating high school, they both decided to attend Saint Joseph's University. Jessika believes Megan has been an invaluable friend throughout the years, including being part of Jessika's wedding to her husband Marc in the Dominican Republic. Jessika also recently asked Meg to be her daughter, Caliana's, godmother. She's looking forward to making more memories at the wedding and a lifetime more with Meg and Hickey.
John Pinto
Groomsman
Mike and Pinto's friendship began in college, but truly solidified when they became roommates after graduation in Manayunk. Pinto has an amazing ability to make Mike "laugh-so-hard-he-cries" in just about every conversation. Mike and Pinto love nothing more than kicking back on a Sunday while eating some of their favorite Philly food, watching the Eagles, and enjoying each other’s company. Mike and Meg are super excited Pinto and his girlfriend, Lindsey, are moving around the corner from them this summer so they can spend even more time together.
Kelly Murphy
Bridesmaid
Megan and Kelly met at Kelly’s first and last SJU club basketball practice in the fall of 2009, and for a year after shared many a “Hey, I met you that one time” smile and head nod. They became more formally introduced as two over-involved Hawks who enjoyed school spirit and kegs of Keystone Light. A decision to study abroad Spring semester 2011 and the invention of Blackberry Messenger solidified their bond. They’ve shared a lot since: a house in Fairmount, many laughs, and an affinity for politically active podcasts. Kelly is glad that Meg had to “break up” with her and their single days in 2013 so she could be with Michael, and is so excited to be part of their special day.
Leanne (Oleck) Brisbane
Bridesmaid
Leanne and Meg met through mutual friends as sophomores at Saint Joseph’s University. They remained friendly throughout college, but grew extremely close after Spring Break during their senior year (#apexparadiseisland). Leanne knew Mike prior to meeting Meg, as they were in the same group of friends along with her now fiancé, Dave (also known as the Co-Best Man), so she was beyond thrilled when Meg and Mike got together after college! Meg and Leanne lived close by one another in Manayunk after graduation and enjoyed so many great times together. Today, although Leanne no longer lives in Philadelphia, the two are closer than ever! Leanne is honored and thrilled to be a part of Meg and Mike’s wedding party and cannot wait to stand alongside them on their big day!
Matt McGeehan
Groomsman
Matt and Mike began their friendship in elementary school and continued together into high school. When college split them apart, they only grew closer. Mike loves Matt for his ability to listen to any issue he may have, and give him sound advice—very fitting that Matt is now an attorney. For years, they aspired to live in the same city, and this year it finally happened. The two of them can be found together spitballing ideas over investment opportunities over a few citywide specials on weekends.
Molly Brennan
Bridesmaid
Molly and Meg met through mutual friends at the tail end of their Freshman year. After finding out Megan was interested in joining a sorority, Molly & (fellow bridesmaid) Courtney "strongly encouraged" her to join their sorority, AGD, in the fall of Sophomore year. After convincing her to become a "sister for life," they stayed friends throughout college. Post-college, they decided to live together in Manayunk where they begrudgingly started the adulting process. During this time, Molly witnessed first hand the formation of Michael and Meg's relationship. She knew from the start it would be sure to last. Molly and Megan have since lived in Philly, never too far from each other, and enjoy grabbing beers with their fiancés and friends, and talking about their dog-children, Chase & Charlie.
Robert Manley
Groomsman
Mike and Manley were brought together their freshman years through mutual Delco friends. As the Phillies 2008 Championship hopes grew, so did their friendship. Manley’s stoic nature and love of the outdoors, reminds Mike of Ron Swanson, Mike’s favorite TV character. Manley and his fiancé (and fellow bridesmaid) Devin can often be found hanging out with Meg and Mike on weekends exploring new restaurants and beer gardens in Philly.
Shane Hickey
Groomsman
Shane is Mike’s nephew, but is only a few years younger, making him more like a brother. Shane is an aspiring attorney, and makes Mike extremely proud with how hard he works. These two love nothing more than hiking the Rocky Mountains together. They have summited multiple 14’000’ mountains together, and have plans to take on many more. Shane can be found hiding among the book stacks of Drexel Law School and sneaking away from studying for an occasional beer with Mike.
Sheila (Toomb) Pettigrew
Bridesmaid
Megan and Sheila met in Middle School over a rousing game of CYO basketball (They think? They actually can't remember). They became fast friends and have bonded over the years over a love of podcasts, cafe caramels, and the Duchess of Cambridge. Meg was in Sheila's wedding to Nate last year, and Mike and Meg have road tripped up to see their new house in Buffalo. When Sheila met Mike she knew that the two had something special and has had a blast hanging out over the years. She is so incredibly happy to be a part of this incredible day in Meg and Mike's life and looks forward to many more years of friendship.
Tim DeBold
Groomsman
Tim and Mike met their Sophomore year while playing on the St. Joes rugby team. Their friendship sparked over a friendly wager relating to the 2009 World Series. These two define friendly competition as they are constantly going at it over pick up sports, fantasy football, and running. Although Tim is moving further north into NJ, you still can find him and his fiancé, Brynn, hanging between NJ and Philly with Meg and Mike.
Vic Priego
Groomsman
Vic is Mike’s older brother. Mike grew up always wanting to be as cool and athletic as his older brother. Unfortunately, Mike will never be as cool as Vic, and is still trying to catch up athletically. Vic has always taught Mike to be both outgoing and adventurous. He taught Mike to come out of his shell and take on the world. For that, Mike is forever grateful. If you're near the Boulder, CO area, you'll likely spot Vic either working hard as a respiratory therapist or outdoors on some sort adventure.
