Cori & Tony
Wedding Party
Amanda Buckley
Maid of Honor
Amanda has been Cori's most trusted confidant and friend since they were elected to the Chi Omega Executive Board at Northwestern. She is a fearless adventurer and planner with impeccable taste, a sharp sense of humor, a mischievous smile, and a big heart. Cori doesn't get to see her as often as she would like, but is so thrilled to have lots of excuses to see her in 2020. Cori can't wait to enjoy Bailey's and coffee with Amanda on the morning of her wedding.
Patrick Sarni
Best Man
Patrick is the eldest of Tony's younger brothers. Often confused for twins or the same person the two of them have been through it all together despite their age difference. Whether its holiday trips, trips to the condo, or just a weekend visit it always results in some 4am whiskey and some great memories.
Cristin Rodery
Bridesmaid
Cristin is Cori's older sister, who spends her days traveling the world. They were very bratty to one another throughout their childhood, but have always loved one another fiercely. They fought until one or both were in tears and an hour later would be laughing in hysterics or ganging up on their brother, Clay. They've grown closer in age and Cori is so proud to have Cristin as her sister and bridesmaid.
Kyle Richardson
Best Man
Kyle has been Tony's closest friend since his family moved down the street when they were in the 8th grade. They were lucky enough to attend UC together and even lived together for a year after Tony graduated. Kyle and his wife, Cassie, have since moved to Indianapolis which has always been an easy weekend drive and the boys never skip a chance to see each other. Tony was the best man at Kyle's wedding and despite dropping the ring they are still as close as ever. Kyle has been there for most of the important moments in Tony's life and he is honored to have him standing up with him on his wedding day.
Megan Steen
Bridesmaid
Megan is Tony's younger sister and has felt like a sister to Cori since early on in their relationship. Perhaps because they like to gang up on the boys just like Cori enjoys doing with her sister, Cristin. Whether Cori needs a supportive friend or advice about her raising her pup, Megan is always there for her. Her laugh is loud and genuine and her hugs are tight and Cori can't wait to officially call Megan her sister!
Chris Sarni
Groomsman
Chris is Tony's youngest brother and the youngest of the Sarni crew. Chris now lives and works in Pittsburgh and Tony is extremely jealous of all the Penguins/Steelers games he gets to attend. While they both have always bonded over Pittsburgh sports with the rest of the fam (besides mom) Chris and Tony have a lot of memories that stem from the nerdier side of life. Video games, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings are only a few of the topics that always come up when they get together. Tony wishes he was able to see Chris more but they always have a blast when they are together and Chris never forgets to bring a case of that sweet sweet IC Light!
Jessie Sarni
Bridesmaid
Jessie is Tony and Cori's sister-in-law. As the girlfriends (now wife and fiance) of the Sarni boys, Cori and Jessie have a special bond over loving two very wonderful but very silly men. Although they've only known one another for only four years, it feels as though they've been friends for their entire lives. Cori couldn't picture her wedding without sharing tissues with fellow crybaby, Jessie.
Jags
Groomsman
This is Jags. He likes to party. Play 2-Chainz.......you'll see.
Sammy Kaiser
Bridesmaid
Sammy transferred to Northwestern and joined Chi Omega during her sophomore year (Cori's junior year) and they became fast friends. Although they only overlapped at college for two years, they certainly made the most of their time and were largely inseparable. Sammy is now a doctor in Hawai'i and they don't get to see one another as often as want, but their friendship is as strong as ever. Cori couldn't imagine her wedding day without her constant medical and life advisor, Sammy, by her side.
Matt Cooper
Groomsman
Matt has been one of Tony's closest friends since his family built the house down the street with they were in middle school. Through hockey, baseball, skating, snowboarding, gaming, and boating the two of them were inseparable all through high school and during any college break. They have stayed close after college even while Matt was touring the country playing professional hockey. Tony was one of the best men at Matt and his wife, Sara's, wedding and even though they don't get to see each other as much as they would like they go right back to being kids again anytime they are together. Matt and Sara now live in Dayton and recently had a beautiful baby boy, Wesley, and Tony and Cori couldn't be happier for them!
Kate Butler
Bridesmaid
Kate is Cori's most pragmatic friend. Cori has always counted on Kate to keep her dramatic nature in check. She has a talent for bringing Cori back down to earth from hysterics and get her to laugh at herself. Kate knows exactly how to be the friend you need - whether you need to hug or maybe just a good stiff drink. They don't get to see one another as much as they would like, but when they do, it feels as if they picked up right where they left off.
Clay Rodery
Groomsman
It is always something a guy is a little nervous about when his girlfriend has an older brother. Luckily for Tony he and Clay hit it off right away. Over the past few years the two of them have gotten to spend a handful of weekends together all over the country and it is always fun when they are together. Whether it is texting about Star Wars theories, enjoying some craft beers, or staying up until 3am drinking and watching a documentary on Randy Johnson Tony always has a blast with Clay and hes very excited to be gaining an older brother!
Cassie Richardson
Bridesmaid
Cassie is one of Tony's oldest friends and the wife of his best friend and best man, Kyle. When Cassie and Cori first met, she made it clear that she was very protective of Tony, but Cori won her over in no time. While she may have been Tony's friend first, Cassie has become family to both of them. She and Cori have been waiting for and looking forward to this wedding for a long time!
Kyle Aurand
Groomsman
Kyle and Tony's journey as friends is a strange one. They met in 3rd grade when Tony's family moved to Perrysburg and he tried out for the travel soccer club. Kyle was the star forward in town and Tony played goalie where he mostly worked on his dance moves (YMCA usually) out of sheer boredom due to Kyle and crew never letting the opposing team get off a shot. Despite them both attending PHS Kyle and Tony did not spend much time together in high school. Fast forward to 2012. Tony had just moved to Chicago and was at a party down the street and Kyle happens to walk in the door. The two of them became very close over the next few years and Tony and Cori love setting up random weekend trips with Kyle and his wife Meg to tackle the countries hardest Escape Games...still undefeated!
Meg Aurand
Bridesmaid
Meg and Kyle Aurand are one of Cori and Tony's favorite couples on the planet. They are always game for any adventure no matter how far fetched. The Aurands reaction to the engagement was second to none and they couldn't imagine our wedding day without their joy and excitement.
Lincoln
Flower Girl
Just kidding. But wouldn't that be something?
