Alexandra & Andy
Wedding Party
Caitlin Phillips
Maid of Honor
Best friend of the Bride. The Bride's oldest and dearest friend. Actually, *family at this point! They had the same babysitter as kids, survived the awkward middle school years, rode every back road in Brown County (forward and reverse,) made it through their twenties, and are now living their best, bestie lives in the same city.
Mike Brizzi
Best Man
Best Friend of the Groom. Their love story starts in gym class freshman year, when Mike was “the new kid.” From there, their friendship blossomed over a love of Mario Kart, Zelda, and Super Smash Bros. Their schadenfreude and shenanigans through high school and college are too many to name. They fulfilled their lifelong dream by moving in together when Andy bought his house several years ago. Despite Mike abandoning Andy to move to the East Coast their friendship remains as strong as ever.
Carissa Discepolo
Maid of Honor
Best friend of Bride. College friends turned family. Ride or die. Drop everything to shop for wedding dresses on a whim. Always on very little sleep. Down for literally everything. Tough love. Nashville food & fun expert. 10/10 will get in a fight for you over pizza or your spot in line for the ferris wheel. Superhero of a best friend.
Michael Scott
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom. Andy and Mike were pledge brothers after meeting the first week of college. Being two of the youngest guys in the fraternity, they often stuck together while navigating the pledge process and college life in general. Despite being in two different cities, they see each other more than most neighbors, thanks in part to the woman in their lives having extreme cases of FOMO.
Rachel Salmon
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Bride. Thankful since day one that Alex's mom and Rachel's dad got together. (And had really awesome kids) Their high school selves were instant friends and have remained that way ever since!
Kyle Jarc
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom. Kyle is Andy’s younger brother and often deemed “the nice one”. Growing up, he was the target of Andy’s teasing and general “Andy-ness”. Somehow, they still get along and have only grown closer as they have bonded over their love for music and all things sports. They have always been each other’s biggest fans and are so lucky to have each other as brothers.
Jess Dias
Bridesmaid
Best friend of the bride. Some things are just meant to be... Like moving to New York and finding a life-long friend. Alex wouldn't have survived the city with out this one. No chance she could get married without her by her side either.
Alex Elsener
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom. They met playing club soccer in high school and went on to live together all 4 years of college. After much convincing, Alex joined the same fraternity as Andy freshman year. This was despite the fact that Alex wanted nothing to do with “paying” for your friends, but soon realized that these friends were the best that money could buy. Alex and Andy formed a dominate FIFA pairing throughout college years and regularly took down all challengers.
Caitlin Brumfiel
Bridesmaid
Best friend of the Bride. From friends to roommates to epic road trip companions. Not sure what's a bigger deal... seeing a wolf in the middle of nowhere Montana or getting married. Either way, she's needed for all of life's best adventures!
Kyle Davis
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom. Kyle and Andy were fraternity brothers in college, but started to bond in an unlikely setting: Statistics Class, Freshman year. From there, they worked several summer jobs together, often found themselves at the same date parties and even lived together for a brief, blurry summer.
Mary Blankenship
Bridesmaid
(Sister-) Cousin of the Bride. Cousins who share their clothes, their bed, their hammock, their underwear, their beer, their raft down white water rivers, their shoulder to cry on, their jokes, their knowledge of cows vs. bears, their home, and their wedding day together... stay together!
Derek Roath
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom. Friend of the Groom. Derek took Andy under his wing early on in his college career. He was Andy’s “aide” to getting into bars in the greater Columbus area and always provided a couch to crash on near the fraternity house. The dynamic was then flipped on its head when Andy hired Derek to work for him selling advertisements. To this day Andy still considers Derek a “big brother” and will always be known as the person who introduced Andy to Alex.
Ashlea Derkits
Bridesmaid
Best friend of the Bride. Sorority sisters at Ohio State. Residents/survivors of the Tree House senior year with 14 other girls, 3 dogs, a cat and a lot of drama! They've grown a little since spring breaks, group Halloween costumes, and date parties, but they're still the best of friends who love pretending to be as fun as they were in college by attending music festivals and group trips together.
Brennon Cain
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom. Brennon was Andy’s little brother in college. Very few people can rival Andy on the dance floor when a punk rock song hits the speakers, but Brennon is certainly one of them. They have only gotten closer since college ended and routinely spend weekends together on bodies of water, at concerts, or simply being great pup-parents.
