Elle & Craig
Wedding Party
Melanie Shayowitz
Maid of Honor
Melanie is the groom's sister and a close friend of the bride. While planning the wedding, building new memories with her future sister in law has been such a gift for the bride.
Michael Vizzi
Best Man
Best friends and bandmates since 2005! From high school pep rallies to touring and music festivals, Vizzi and Craig have experienced a lot together!
Maecy Hoffman
Bridesperson
Maecy is the bride's one and only sister! Since they live in different parts of the country, the wedding has been a great opportunity for them to spend more time together and make new memories.
Charles Dunaieff
Groomsperson
In 2008 Craig decided he was tired of his own mediocre drumming and wanted to take his music to the next level. Vizzi met CJ at a ska show where a friend vouched that CJ was actually good at the drums, and he was! Craig and CJ have been playing in bands together ever since.
Kathleen Rosentel
Bridesperson
Kathleen is one of the bride's oldest friends in NYC. They met at Elle's first job in the city. 6 years and a few jobs later, they're still best friends. They love having brie and rosé nights when they can.
Andy Cabasso
Groomsperson
Andy and Craig met by attending local Long Island ska shows. That turned into a friendship filled with karaoke, speakeasies, and birthday scavenger hunts.
Dani Kass
Bridesperson
Dani and Elle became friends during their senior capstone course. After graduating from Mizzou, they ended up moving to NYC together.
Jesse Kirsch
Groomsperson
Jesse and Craig are first cousins! They both play the bass guitar. When Jesse was little Craig gave him all of his Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
Kate Masters
Bridesperson
Elle and Kate go all the way back to their days in college radio. #KCOUCrew! Kate was the news director and Elle was the music director, they formed a great friendship working together and still have the best time when they visit each other.
Joël Martin
Groomsperson
Craig and Elle like traveling to Montreal because they have so many great friends there! Craig met Joel playing a music festival and since then they've done lots of touring and hanging out.
Kyle McMahan
Bridesperson
Elle and Kyle hosted a show together on their college radio station for 4 straight years! They grew up a few towns a part, but somehow didn’t meet until they joined KCOU at Mizzou.
Samantha Campanile
Groomsperson
Samantha and Craig play in a band called Answering Machine. They've hung out and played shows at every cool dive bar in Brooklyn.
Cara Miller
Bridesperson
Cara and Elle met in college and became even closer when Cara moved to NYC. Fun Fact: She was with Elle when Chester was adopted! He still gets so excited to see Cara.
Sébastien Guimond
Groomsperson
One time Craig took his mom to the bar that Seb works at. Craig didn't realize that Seb's shift started before the bar opened, so Craig, his mom, Seb, and 3 shirtless hungover Canadian bartenders all hung out at a bar together while the bartenders prepped for the bar's actually opening for the day.
Megan Allen
Bridesperson
Megan is a great friend of both Craig and Elle (and Chester). Megan went to college with Craig and she’s also married to the best man. We have great double dates :)
Tan Uchen
Groomsperson
Tan came to a punk show at a bar but wasn't quite old enough to get in. Craig, Vizzi, and CJ snuck them in by saying they were their merch person for the night. Tan did a great job selling the merch, and also said they could play guitar better than Vizzi. They can, and they've been a great addition to our band and our lives ever since.
