Wedding Party
Iris Galletti
Maid of Honor
Daughter of bride. My beautiful, golden-hearted girl, whom I couldn’t be more proud of! She’s currently in her 2nd semester at Illinois Central College and sings with Morton Civic Chorus. Iris is a light and blessing that makes me smile every single day. It has been truly heartwarming for me to watch her and Chris bicker over potato chips and wage Worms Battleground wars as their relationship grows. 🥰
Pam Goede
Matron of Honor
Bride's BFF! Once my archnemesis, when I was forced into a work project with Pam in 2001, we couldn’t stop laughing and have been besties ever since. She’s my hiking companion (admittedly, the hikes end short and with margaritas), my ride-or-die sidekick, and aside from Chris, the person who knows me best in this world. I’m honored to have her stand by me on our wedding day.
Neal Rodeffer
Man of Honor
Brother of Bride. My baby brother, who’s always willing to drop everything for me! No matter how many times I ask him move me in the dead of winter, he keeps showing up! Our time together may be spent speculating on time travel, calculating how many mph a spider can go, or just hanging out in his garage. He and Chris combined are a great comedic duo and create quite the soda-out-the-nose threat during game night 😂. He's dad to my awesome niece and nephew, Emme and Milo. His wife, Jennifer, will also lend her talents to our wedding as charcuterie-chef extraordinaire!
Andrew Elliott
Groomsman
Andrew has been in my life since Kindergarten. We shared schools our whole upbringing, we've performed together on stage and competed together in sports, traveled, played and had so many good times with so many shared friends and family. I am overjoyed to be sharing this life with him and am honored to have him share this day with me. We are also so fortunate to have his lovely wife Stephanie as our photographer!
Scott O'Dell
Groomsman
Scott has been the best time since we met doing Improvisational Comedy at Bradley University. He has been an irreplaceable musical partner, a hilarious gaming companion and a trusty trivia teammate. We are also blessed to get to share such lovely times with his fiancée Sara, especially cruising around town as the moped gang "The Riscys"
Kaitlin Adams-Wenger
Groomswoman
Kaitlin has been a ride or die sibling since the beginning, always seeing the best in me, and supporting me through thick and thin. I'm blessed to get to share this occasion with her. I've loved watching Kela and Kaitlin get to be close, and have enjoyed our family outings and holidays together. We have gotten to enjoy countless fun times with her husband Tim and their two children Vincent and Olivia, and look forward to a hilarious future with our families.
