Wedding Party
Katie Rasmussen
Matron of Honor
Sister of the bride and sharer of a bedroom, clothes, wonderful childhood memories, hungover holiday mornings, shopping trips, weekend visits across the country and even across the pond and all of life's important milestones. Has beautiful taste, gives great advice and can do just about anything. Approaches most things with a logical, rational and calming presence. But if you can get "Lucy" to come out, you're in for a real treat.
Wes Hyatt
Maid of Honor
East and West coast roommate of the bride & my partner in crime. Lover of the ocean, the sun and California, where we met 12 years ago. Can close down a bar and still run the show at work. Capable, easy going and always up for a good time. Has a gift of connecting with people and making everyone feel welcome. Funniest, unbelievably generous friend with a spectacular trucker hat collection. Unreal guesser and best beirut player around.
Katie Stone
Bridesmaid
College roommate of the bride & classmate from Kindergarten through Notre Dame. Studied together at sleepovers in 4th grade and for a semester in Dublin, Ireland. We had matching terrible 80's bangs, and our parents had matching minivans that hosted many tailgates in South Bend. Mother of Junior Bridesmaid Gracie and son Liam. Expert googler, listener and my co-hypochondriac. Honest, loyal, self-less and the best hostess. Small but full of fire. Huge Irish football fan.
Kelly Rozen
Bridesmaid
College, Chicago & Newport Beach roommate of the bride. Lover of life and adventure and everything fun! My voice of reason... if Kelly is doing it, so will I, no matter how ridiculous or crazy. Mother of Junior bridesmaid Lyla and son Harper. Best party planner (especially garage parties) and fellow Sprinkles cupcake, sparkling rose, shopping and salt air aficionado. Supportive, expressive and kind. Once found her shimmying up the wall into a solo keg stand. Dominates a dance floor with her signature moves and will book a trip in a heartbeat.
Megan Berger
Bridesmaid
College roommate of the bride and very first East coast friend. Best at balancing good times with good grades... parents of the bride likely wish this skill would have spread:) Lover of the beach, a long run and a nice gin and tonic. Kills it both on the dance floor, and in meetings as a lawyer advocating for those less fortunate. Fierce cups player with the kindest heart. Member of a big, wonderful family who collectively introduced me to Thunder Road, one of my all-time favorite songs.
Molly Matchak
Bridesmaid
Boston roommate & Charlestown neighbor of the bride. Expert planner of dinners, parties, trips and all things fun. Can organize flights, lodging and reservations for a large crew with her eyes closed and often has arranged back-up options, and back-up to the back-up options. Amazing guidance counselor at a high school... and a counselor for all of her friends. Boston sports fan, hockey coach, social coordinator, supportive listener, espresso martini and blackjack lover. Fellow Recchi wife.
Grace Stone
Junior Bridesmaid
First baby in the crew and I remember I couldn't wait to hold her! Daughter of bridesmaid Katie. Fully vetted Nick and was very skeptical at first; wanted to make sure I was “in the right arms”. Singer, tumbler, tennis player and just as sweet at 10 years old as she was the day she was born.
Lyla Rozen
Junior Bridesmaid
God-daughter of the bride and daughter of bridesmaid Kelly. Darling and busy 9 year old dancer, swimmer, golfer, volleyball player. California girl at heart, born in our favorite Newport Beach. Smart and caring. Fabulous artist and lover of her dog Boie.
Mila Rasmussen
Flower Girl
Niece of the bride. Lover of art projects, princesses, gummy bears and ALL things pink. Sensitive, confident and at 4 years old could run a household by herself for a week. If you hear All Star by Smash Mouth, it's because Mila requested it. Life of the party and always up for fun. Turns everything into an adventure and is the BEST baking buddy.
Tim Kozik
Best Man
High School classmate of the groom and fellow Buffalonian. He can run 100 miles, turn a garage into a bar, climb Mt. Rainier and drink a bottle of bourbon. Not quite in one day...but almost! When he's not in Seattle with his beautiful wife, Danielle, and their two incredible pups, you can find Tim spanning the globe in search of a new adventure. Some might say, he's 'The Most Interesting Man in the World.'
Dana Isola
Groomsman
Bentley classmate, Brighton roommate and all-around drinking mate of the groom. He could sell sand in the desert, ice to an eskimo and talk a starving dog off a meat truck! Yes, he's in sales, but you won't meet a more genuinely passionate person in the world and that's what makes Dana one of the very best friends a guy could ever ask for. He's also likely to have people at the wedding reception asking, "Did you see Ralph Macchio here!?"
Jeff Glassman
Groomsman
Cousin of the groom and son to Aunt Sue and Uncle Eric, who are like second parents to Nick. He's tough on crime, as he keeps the State of New York safe while serving as a Trooper, but has a heart larger than Manhattan and brighter than Gold. He's the guy you want to stop you on the highway if you're doing 90...and standing beside you when you're getting married. The 'little' brother Nick never had. Doesn't always wear sleeves but he's always got a pair of cuffs!
Steve Sherman
Groomsman
Bentley classmate, Bentley roommate and Bentley baseball teammate of the groom. Steve has been a friend since one fateful day in 1997 and hasn't left Nick's side since. There's never been a suit or a pair of sunglasses that didn't fit him perfectly. He can sing, he can dance and he's full of ro-mance! Don't blink an eye (especially on the dance floor) cause you might miss him!
Timmy Casanta
Groomsman
Brother of the bride. Lover of good cheese, good music and good times. Great party planner, errand runner, cook and karaoke singer (particularly Ice Ice Baby). Doesn’t eat anything green and is famous for ordering a salad with no lettuce. Loyal, generous and will do anything for you! Always up for fun and has some epic stories to tell (ask him about the time he was locked out in his undies)...
James Rasmussen
Ring Bearer
Nephew of the bride. Adorable, hilarious, strong-willed and sweet. Skeptical and cautious; prefers to watch from the sidelines at times. May take some coaxing to get him on the dance floor. Loves all things paw patrol. Can't wait to wear a bowtie but would prefer to be called a "ring monkey" rather than a "ring bear." Will turn 3 on 6/8 and we may have to have a wedding-sized party for him every year!
