Daniel & Kaylee
Wedding Party
Kelsey Mathews
Maid of Honor
My sister! She has better style, most people think we are twins, and she positively knows more about cars than I do - but I still don't always trust her. She just recently accepted me on multiple (MULTIPLE) forms of social media. Regardless, she's still scored the coveted MoH spot and I would not have it any other way.
Hudson Ledeen
Best Man
Now, here's a guy who hates Joe Buck commentary, loves the Vikings, and is my antithesis in a lot of other ways, but they say opposites attract. For the past few formative years of my life, Hudson has been the most present, challenging, and endearing presence (besides Kaylee, of course).
Lisa Knapek
Bridesmaid
I met Lisa the first night of our freshman year at St. Ben's. The rest, while at times embarrassing, is history. She's a friend I can always count on to be honest, a friend who may fall asleep earlier than I want, and a friend who I could not imagine going through my wedding day without. Thank goodness for that first, very sweaty, dance in Brother Willie's.
John Cahill
Groomsman
Any positive trait that you could identify about me has to be credited to the way my older brother forged his own path. I started to love cooking because he wouldn't let me change the channel from Food Network. I got my smart ass jokes from trying to make him angry as a kid. John has always been a role model for me. Sometimes showing me what to do. A lot of times showing me what not to do.
Annie Christenson
Bridesmaid
A big shout out to Mr. Brown's 7th grade math class - we convinced a fellow classmate that the desk I was sitting in was far superior than his. (Is this true Annie or am I just happily making this up?) Either way, without that class I would have never made the lifelong friend I found in this wonderful lady.
Colin Cahill
Groomsman
Where I always tried to copy John, Colin always chose his own way. I almost convinced him to become a Johnnie, but he convinced me he found a community even better in South Ohio. Let's put some pressure on him: Colin is DEFINITELY going to be the most successful Cahill brother.
Brianna Kunkel
Bridesmaid
I may not have met Bri officially until our junior year at St. Ben's, but we share so much of a sassy kindred spirit that those lost years don't even matter. I know for a fact I do not tell her this enough but I'm excited to spend time with her, always. (And I can always count on her to indulge in one too many beers with me.)
Adam Kunkel
Groomsman
My freshman dorm room was torn apart and is now a lounge. Good thing that I spent the majority of my time freshman year in Mary 140 with Adam blasting "Working for the Weekend" and playing Yu-Gi-Oh on the original playstation. Adam has always been a gracious host, and an even better listener.
