The Night It All Began
Wedding Party
Kelly Keating
Maid of Honor
Sister, best friend, and designated life person. Born MOH. Kelly lives in NYC, taking names and conquering life as an Assistant DA for Manhattan. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN.
Erin Keating Widener
Matron of Honor
Sister, friend, and total beach babe. But most of all, life of the party. Erin lives in Florida, raising her two beautiful babies and coaching gymnastics.
Faye Meaden
Bridesmaid
From "big sister" in gymnastics more than 10 years ago, to being each others' life line through nursing school...Faye and Courtney are two peas in a pod that border on annoying with their incessant laughter. Faye lives in San Diego, where she works as a Registered Nurse on the Medical/Oncology unit.
Cassandra Babilya
Bridesmaid
The sister-to-be and lover of all things wine, dogs, and yoga. While not traveling the world, Sandra lives in Virginia, adventuring with her fur-child Tormund, who is a Caring Angel Therapy Dog.
Sylvie Borschel
Bridesmaid
Teammates and best friends since the day they started gymnastics - over 20 years ago. While college and work pulled Court and Sylv apart physically, it is certain that they each share a part of each others' soul. Sylvie lives in NYC, pursuing her life-long destiny of becoming an actress.
Matthew Townsend
Best Man
Larry's best friend from high school, who watched him go from college party boy to Marine to Officer Babilya. Whichever phase of life they've been in, Matt has been there 110% of the way. Matt lives in Virginia, where he is now Manager at the company he has worked at for nearly 15 years. Dedicated to work, family, and good beer, Matt is truly the Best Man.
Jared Reeves
Groomsman
Instant friends from Day 1 of the Police Academy. Which isn't surprising, because Larry and Jared could not be more alike. Jared and his wife Ali live in Manassas, VA with their baby, Grady. Over the past year, the Reeves crew has become family - they are even surrogate parents to our chicken, Annie (best gift ever). Whether grinding it out in each others' garage gyms, scouring the area for a new winery or brewery, or just kicking it at home, if our schedules coincide, we're together.
Mathew Lopez
Groomsman
Mat and Larry were stationed together at 8th and I, bonding over their misfortune of receiving such an assignment. Their friendship lasted long past the Tuesday Evening Parades, though, each sharing a love of Glocks and hitting the range on Mat's land in Charlottesville. Mat and his wife Bridgid live in Alexandria, Virginia, where they just welcomed their first baby, Elliot (who is Mat's exact replica). Mat is finishing up his career in the Marine Corps and looking forward to his next chapter.
Thomas Rogers
Groomsman
One of Larry's best friends from high school. Along with the Best Man, Tommy was responsible for putting Larry in the hospital on his 21st birthday. Believe it or not, they also both had shoulder-length curly locks in college. Shenanigans aside, Tommy has been a consistent brother to Larry for the past decade. He moved to Texas a few years ago to attend physical therapy school, where he still lives now as a practicing PTA.
Cody Thompson
Groomsman
Larry and Cody met in the police academy. Between those two and Jared, they make quite the dynamic trio. Cody's electric, fun-loving personality makes him impossible to miss and hard not to love.
Giselle Widener
Flower Girl
Our spunky, sassy, sunny niece, Miss Gigi Marie. Gigi loves the beach, gymnastics, and getting her nails painted with Aunt Courtney!
Liam Widener
Ring Bearer
Our kind, insightful, and sincere nephew, Mr. Liam Michael. Liam loves weather, sharks, and kicking the soccer ball with Uncle Larry!
Michael Keating
Father of the Bride
The first man I ever looked up to. He is the king that taught me that no matter what, always live by these 2 rules: try your best, and have fun while doing it. Michael lives in Virginia as the owner and publisher of Golfstyles Magazine. He is a true survivor and I could not be more proud to call him my daddy.
Susan Katz Keating
Mother of the Bride
The queen that taught me to never, never, never quit. Susan currently lives in Florida, but is frequently traveling to work on her writing projects, which can be found in books and magazines such as PEOPLE and Soldier of Fortune. Her journey has been inspirational and I could not be more proud to call her my mommy.
Steven Babilya
Father of the Groom
The man that planted and watered Larry's love of country and dedication to serving his fellow Americans. Steven is an esteemed retiree of the CIA and now owns his own contracting business. A former Marine, Steven has an endless amount of stories from his world travels.
Leslie Babilya
Mother of the Groom
The woman that showed Larry what it means to truly love and be present for someone's life. Leslie is known for her brilliant interior design skills and dedication to mothering both her children, both human and four-legged. Leslie and Steven live together in Virginia.
Cameron Keating
Usher
Brother of the bride; although his witty, dark, and sarcastic humor almost makes you think he's related to Larry. Cam is a rising junior in high-school, and is excellent at running and playing defense on his basketball team.
Sean Keating
Usher
Littlest brother of the bride, even though he towers above all of us. Sean is also a rising junior in high-school, and is a lover of all sports, especially basketball. His shoe collection probably beats any female in the wedding.
Mark Fayloga
Officiant
Larry's old boss at the Pentagon, fellow foodie, and most importantly, our favorite baldie. Mark and his wife Erin live in D.C. with their two fur children.
Melanie Khoury
Coordinator
Melanie and Courtney coached at Apollo Gymnastics for 4 years, while also going to George Mason together. Melanie took her Event Management degree and started a business, The Bridesmaid Aid. One of the few things about planning a wedding that was a no-brainer!
