Chelsea & Steve
Wedding Party
Chris Brito
Best Man
Can't have a wedding party without the co-host of the All Hoops podcast of course! Chris and Steve became inseparable following their study abroad trip to Paris in January 2014. Since then, six seasons of their podcast and their daily FaceTimes have allowed their friendship to blossom.
Morgan Sandler
Matron of Honor
There is no one Chelsea would rather have by her side than her best friend and twin sister, Morgan. Despite now living further away from each other than they have ever have, the two remain as close as ever. Morgan has big shoes to fill, as Chelsea did a perfect job being Maid of Honor for her during her wedding last June. All jokes aside, Chelsea is grateful to have a sister like her.
Doug Blatecky
Best Man
Despite Doug leaving New York and his Knick fandom after college to head to law school, Doug and Steve have remained best friends in the years that followed, always making time to visit each other despite busy schedules. With Doug purchasing a house in Georgia, and Steve making the move to Fort Lauderdale, the two should be able to spend more time together going forward down South.
Abby Wylan
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and Abby met their freshman year of college and their friendship has grown a lot over the years, especially once Abby moved to Manhattan after graduation. Abby has always been ready to explore new spots in NYC, and the two have had many memorable times. Chelsea appreciates not only Abby's upbeat personality, but her trustworthiness as well.
Adam Lorenzana
Groomsman
Adam is always there for Steve whenever he needs advice on anything. Despite living in far away lands like Washington DC, Iowa, and most recently New Jersey, Adam always makes time for catch up sessions with Steve. Adam is doubling up at this wedding as a Groomsman AND the officiant!
Amanda Moretz
Bridesmaid
Amanda and Chelsea first got to know each other as sorority sisters in college, and their friendship grew when Amanda moved to NYC after graduation. Amanda has always been a very reliable friend to Chelsea, and the two have had countless adventures in the city. Amanda was even one of the first friends to visit Chelsea in her new Fort Lauderdale apartment!
Chris Inman
Groomsman
The funniest of the Inman's (at least that's what he will tell you). Chris has always been the life of the party and we expect that to be the case on June 17th! While Chris is five years younger than Steve, the two have grown close in recent years and continue to support each others' big dreams.
Ashley Ring
Bridesmaid
When Chelsea decided she was going to study abroad in Florence, Italy, she knew that Ashley would be the perfect roommate. The two had only hung out a few times before the trip but bonded quickly in Europe. Chelsea and Ashley had many adventures traveling, and Chelsea was even a witness to when Ashley met her future husband in Florence. Though Ashley moved further down the East Coast after college graduation, the two always made time for yearly visits.
Estlin Link
Groomsman
Meeting on the first day of college at St. John's back in 2010, Estlin and Steve became fast friends. As Steve's first college friend, Estlin has been an older brother to Steve, helping him get his first suit and first "non-mullet" haircut. Their mutual love of baseball means the two are always trying to one-up each other in their annual home run derbies (Estlin always wins).
Beth Newman
Bridesmaid
Meeting in preschool, it's safe to say Beth is one of Chelsea's longest friendships (~30 years!). From countless playdates, sleepovers, and adventures at summer camp, Beth has always been a big part of Chelsea's life. This made Steve know he could trust Beth in helping to find the perfect engagement ring for Chelsea.
Jon Perez
Groomsman
Steve and Jon began their friendship calling St. John's basketball games for WSJU radio in college. Since then, Jon and Steve have seen their friendship grow in the "Dynasty Baseball" Fantasy League and frequenting on each others' sports podcasts.
Diana Maass
Bridesmaid
Another one of Chelsea's childhood best friends. Diana is a very important person to Chelsea, as the two shared a lot of interests growing up. Diana introduced Chelsea to many of her favorite musical artists, including her favorite, Sia. Having gone through almost 30 years of friendship with her, Chelsea knows Diana will remain a constant in her life.
Jose Benitez
Groomsman
Jose "Papples" Benitez became a fast friend to Steve during their intramural days playing for the legendary squad the "Angela's Omelettes" beginning sophomore year of college. Since then, plenty of Mets games & road trips have allowed the two to remain close after college. One of the best calls Steve gets is from Jose on his frequent updates coaching middle school basketball.
Franni Drachtman
Bridesmaid
One of Chelsea's most talkative friends (and that's saying something), Franni became a fast friend of Chelsea's when they first met in college, and they've remained close ever since. The two have made some great memories over the years, and always take the time to catch up. Chelsea has always taken Franni up on her invitation the past few summers to enjoy a pool or beach day in NJ, and now Chelsea can't wait to return the favor in sunny FL!
Kieran Lynch
Groomsman
Kieran and Steve became fast friends at the St. John's radio station, where the two spent plenty of nights watching the St. John's basketball team squander huge opportunities to make the annual NCAA tournament. Kieran also gave Steve his first-ever paying job delivering the school newspapers every Wednesday morning- a job that Kieran would often need to go to Steve's dorm to get him out of bed to do when it was cold.
Melanie Dionisio
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and Mel first met through their sorority and became close once they were both living back in NYC after graduation. As a fellow native New Yorker, Mel always knew which restaurants and bars were the best to check out, always leading the group to memorable adventures. Despite Mel ultimately moving to the suburbs of NJ and Chelsea moving down to FL, the two have remained great friends and make the time to visit each other when possible.
Mitch Petit-Frere
Groomsman
As Steve's college roommate, Mitch has always been around for the important times including birthdays, graduations and everything else in between. Mitch has also been a big supporter of Steve's sports radio dreams and has often pushed Steve to put himself out there.
Mallori Selliger
Bridesmaid
Mallori and Chelsea met sophomore year of college when they joined the same sorority. The two have built a strong friendship over the years, especially during their time at NYU Steinhardt, bonding over the challenges of their respective grad school programs. Mallori remains one of Chelsea's most reliable friends, and the two always make time to check-in with each other and meet for brunch despite their hectic work schedules.
Nick Inman
Groomsman
Despite being the youngest of three, Nick is the best athlete of the Inman's. If you get in a conversation at the wedding with Nick, he'll be sure to let you know that he is also the tallest of all the Inman's (6′6'' and growing). Steve is very proud of his younger brother as he finishes his Masters at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
