The I Do Crew
Mallory Morgan
Maid of Honor
Mallory is Kelsey’s one and only sister, and therefore her favorite! During their shared childhood, Mallory witnessed Kelsey eat 11 cents, stick a bead up her nose, and put Diesel in her non-Diesel car. During these times, Mallory would be reading very lengthy novels or even writing her own. Even though Mallory does make fun of Kelsey for all of these things, she (mostly) does it in a loving manner. Kelsey’s fondest memories with Mallory include speed puzzle-making contests, going camping at Bucktails, and driving around looking at Christmas lights. Kelsey is excited to have Mallory as her Matron of Honor because of her strong opinions (about everything), her craftiness, and her dessert-making abilities.
Anna Beggel
Bridesmaid
Though they first met in an accounting class, Kelsey and Anna never actually spoke! Anna would always walk in with her headphones on and sit in the back row, while Kelsey took the front to ask the professor tons of questions. Eventually, Kelsey and Anna became much more friendly with each other, and moved in together as they completed their MBAs. Kelsey loves Anna because of her fierce vegan/vegetarian ways (Kelsey couldn’t make it a day living this lifestyle), her random hugs, and her understanding of the ups and downs of studying for the CPA exam. Kelsey is so glad that Anna is her bridesmaid because of her fun, bubbly, and outgoing personality (when she is not in an accounting class, that is).
Erin Niland
Bridesmaid
Erin and Kelsey were both employees at Campus Recreation at SUNY Oswego, where Erin was the head lifeguard and Kelsey did payroll. Eventually, Erin and Kelsey lived together, which thrilled Kelsey because she could talk to Erin about her nerdy payroll passion at all times. Kelsey loves how effortlessly Erin has conquered adulthood, and she appreciates being taken under Erin’s wing. For example, Erin has a knack for preventing Kelsey from burning down the kitchen, and making sure that Kelsey doesn’t forget her money and ID before they go out. Her honesty and amazing sense of fashion will come in handy while wedding planning.
Josie Scherer
Bridesmaid
Josie and Kelsey met in the accounting program at SUNY Oswego. Specifically, Kelsey and Josie shared a very boring tax internship together. When they later moved in together though, it was anything but! Kelsey is inspired by the daily amount of water that Josie consumes, her ability to put an air mattress back into the box after using it, and her epic Spotify playlists.
Megan Steinmetz
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and Megan’s friendship goes way back to first grade. Along the way they have shared many experiences including running a half marathon, going to Paris, attending proms, and getting kicked by a fourth grader that they were chasing on the playground. Kelsey and Megan have tons of fun sharing inside jokes and writing silly little songs. Kelsey loves Megan because of how incredibly weird she is and how quickly and easily she can make Kelsey laugh, despite having a serious job as an RN at a psychiatric hospital in Nashville. Megan is hands down the funniest person that Kelsey knows. In anticipation of Kelsey’s nuptials, Megan has been watching strangers’ wedding videos and crying. Kelsey is so excited to have Megan as a bridesmaid!
Melissa Driggs
Bridesmaid
Melissa and Kelsey met in middle school and one of Kelsey’s favorite memories with Melissa is attending Lourdes Camp, where Melissa later went to become a camp counselor. Even though Melissa’s favorite activity is making Kelsey wait at Sephora for two hours as she finds the foundation that most perfectly matches her skin color, Melissa is Kelsey’s favorite person to sing with in the car and nap next to on the beach. Kelsey loves Melissa because of her fun loving personality and for her same love of Dip and Dots.
Rachel Cifaratta
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and Rachel met at an accounting event where Kelsey was helping her classmates with their networking skills. Kelsey and Rachel’s initial conversation did not go so well on Kelsey’s end as she was getting quickly annoyed with Rachel for not boasting herself as obnoxiously as Kelsey would if she had the resume that Rachel had (p.s she was the President of the Women’s in Business Club at Oswego- how cool is that). Kelsey knew that she had to have Rachel in her bridal party because of her interest in party planning, Rachel claims that this would have been her major if it paid the same as an accounting major. Kelsey loves Rachel because of how darn cute and sweet she is. They can never run out of things to say when they are together.
Shelby Stewart
Bridesmaid
Kelsey met Shelby at Campus Recreation where Shelby was the photographer. During the course of college, Kelsey has provided Shelby with lots of accounting mentorship and Shelby has given Kelsey lots of crafting advice and even a cute kitten. Kelsey loves Shelby because of her insane talent of calligraphy and revamping furniture. Kelsey also loves Shelby because of her patience. For example, when Kelsey was washing Shelby’s sweatshirt that she borrowed, she used bleach instead of laundry detergent (she thought they were synonymous) and Shelby was not annoyed when Kelsey ruined her sweatshirt. Kelsey can’t wait to have Shelby in her bridal party because of her many talents, the fact that she is always trying out a new dance move, and her one of a kind personality.
Andy Thompson
Best Man
It almost seems like Andy has been around for all of Connor’s life, which is true because he has. As the oldest brother, Andy has seen Connor at his best, and mostly, his worse. While separated by at least 3 states, Andy and Connor still love and care for each other, even if Andy does mock Connor for the stupid things he says (which is often!). The tallest of the brothers, and the first with red hair, he won’t be hard to miss!
Ben Thompson
Best Man
Ben and Connor have had a long time to get to know each other. Partly from being brothers, and partly from having to share a bedroom until Ben went to college. Being only two and a half years apart meant many fights, laughs and shenanigans along the way. The rivalry between the two is friendly, except when it comes to fantasy football (in which Ben totally sucks in). If you see a guy with red hair and shorter than Andy and Connor, you have seen Ben! Be sure to say hi, and ask him how annoying Connor was to live with (if the answer is not very annoying you found the wrong person)!
Christopher Ford
Groomsman
Christopher and Connor have known each other since kindergarten. Bonded together by their nerdy love of Star Wars, Marvel and music, Christopher has been by Connor’s side for all the big moments (including musicals that they were in together in their school days). While a groomsman by night, Christopher is also the officiant of the wedding. When Christopher isn’t busy presiding over a wedding, he can be seen in a pharmacy, being a pharmacist. If you see him, be sure to say hello- he loves to talk to everyone!
Gavin Streb
Groomsman
Gavin and Connor were not friends until they graduated high school, each thinking the other was annoying. But they quickly became close friends, bonding over hockey, their love of video games, and you guessed it, Star Wars. Gavin has gladly watched Connor and Kelsey’s cat Bug, and is a friend that is willing to help you out whenever you need it! Gavin doesn’t like to be reminded that he hasn’t been friends with Connor since kindergarten, but Connor is glad he’s got a friend like Gavin in his corner!
Jake Morris
Groomsman
Jake and Connor have known each other since kindergarten (sorry Gavin). The friendship started while playing soccer at age five, and has lasted all these years later. While Jake will gladly say he is a much better athlete than Connor (which isn’t wrong), he is an even better friend. Whether it’s Jake’s badly timed jokes, his stories of video games, or just a stupid work story, he always brings the “bang” to any party! So if you hear a slightly bad joke or pun, just know it is Jake! Connor is so glad that Jake has stuck with him through it all. Say hi to him, I’m sure he will love telling you a bad joke or two!
Mike Cicero
Groomsman
Mike is an old man. Not literally, but that was the joke amongst Connor and Mike’s Oswego friends. Nicknamed “Gramps” for being a whopping four years older then Connor, Mike has been a hockey-loving friend for the last 4+ years. Mike loves to play goalie, a position in which you need to be crazy to play it. Whether it is floor hockey, or ice hockey, he loves facing shots on the net. Off the rink, Mike is a caring friend, who supports Connor in ways no one else can. Connor and Kelsey are honored he is standing beside them on their wedding day!
Robb Locurto
Groomsman
Robb’s laugh cures even the deepest sadness. If you don’t believe it, listen throughout the wedding day, and you’ll hear it. Robb brings a smile to everyone’s faces, and is a great guy. Connor and Robb have known each other since the 7th grade, and their friendship took off after high school. Loving sports, music and of course a good brew, Robb is a friend to cherish. Connor is thankful that Robb and his laugh could be here on Connor’s big day!
Thomas Jordan
Groomsman
Thomas is a fellow man of science, which is probably why Connor and him got along so well when they were first introduced. Here is a list of the many scientific topics they discuss: weather-related phenomena, medical advances, and the what if’s. Thomas is Kelsey’s brother-in-law, and Connor couldn’t be more happy to have Thomas in his wedding party! Connor is happy to have Thomas as a part of their special day, as Connor and Kelsey were when they performed a rap on his wedding day three years ago.
