Carolyn & Daniel
Wedding Party
Nick Balog
Best Man
One of Dan's best friends from home and current fellow DC resident. Nick was there when it all began for us and has been such a great friend throughout our relationship. Although he was upset that Carolyn took his best roommate (Dan) ever away from him, he has always been by our sides creating life long memories we will always cherish.
Mary Ho
Maid of Honor
Mary and Carolyn are best friends from Springbrook Highschool A.K.A. the greatest place on earth. They originally bonded over trying to avoid a fight which landed on their lunch table, just days into Freshman year. During Covid Mary and Carolyn spent almost every night hanging out until 2am watching TV and spilling the tea. Once Dan came around Mary gained another best friend. This was unfortunate for Carolyn since from there on out Mary would always take Dan's side. Before Mary met Dan she thought people who ate ranch on pizza were disgusting....now she is one of those people.
Grant Shaw
Best Man
Grant has been a friend of Dan's since middle school and they have been through so much together. They remained friends despite him going to become a "Wahoo", a very troubling time for Dan as he was very close to convincing Grant to be a Hokie. Grant is exactly the best friend a guy could ask for and we are glad he is in our lives. Oh and he's a dentist now (congrats man), we'll set up a consultation soon.
Cami Blaha
Maid of Honor
Cami lived in 4 different countries before returning back to the states Junior year of Highschool where she become friends with Carolyn. Cami and Carolyn grew close in college where they made endless memories at College park and UVA. Cami and Carolyn have been on countless adventures together such ask jumping off of waterfalls in Hawaii and trying to walk home to Silver Spring from DC at 3am. Nowadays you can find Cami, Dan, and Carolyn hanging out almost every weekend. Side note Cami and Dan have never beaten Carolyn in Ticket to Ride.
Kevin Cooke
Groomsman
Kevin was truly one of Dan's first great friends dating back to middle school. They enjoyed many great moments and laughs over the years. The inside jokes are endless with Kevin and we always are in for a treat when he is around. Our wedding wouldn't be the same without him.
Maria Aragon
Bridesmaid
Maria and Carolyn met in Hawaii through Carolyn's college friend Justin (the officiant). Carolyn and Maria hit it off immediately. Carolyn canceled her flight home from Hawaii for the second or third time and stayed with Maria for two week. They both knew that their friendship was far more than someone you meet on vacation and never speak to again. Fast-forward, Dan and Carolyn took their first big trip together to visit Maria in Oahu. The three of them wen skydiving, hiking, and to every beach possible. Maria then moved to Maryland knowing that she had not one but two besties to hang out with every weekend.
Joe Bugas
Groomsman
Joe is one of Dan's best buddies that he met playing baseball in middle/high school. Their friendship blossomed over the years and they always stayed in touch. Joe always brings the energy and has a way with making sure everyone around him has a great time. All Dan asks is that Joe does not give up on the Hokies, because they have many VT games to attend in the future.

All of those nights were just practice for the reception.

Nicole and Carolyn both loved to play with the boys and do whatever sport or dangerous activity they were doing. As they grew up Nicole and Carolyn got closer and looks at each other as sisters not just cousins. Carolyn and Nicole have the best time when they have no plan and just make it up as they go, creating their own adventures and entertainment.

Katie Kittelberger

Katie is Carolyn's loving older sister. Katie was always worried about Carolyn when they were little since Carolyn wanted climb and jump off of everything. Katie even cried when Carolyn decided to blindly give herself a haircut at age 4 with safety scissors. Carolyn then when on to have a bowl cut until it grew out. Katie absolutely adores children so if you ever need a babysitter you know who to ask.
