Bridget & Daniel
Wedding Party
Diana Franceschelli
Maid of Honor
Diana is Bridget and Dan's amazing Wifey! Diana and Bridget met in college playing Ultimate Frisbee and became fast friends. Diana taught Bridget how to drink wine, and Bridget taught Diana how to run (she's doing her first half marathon in April!). Diana, Bridget and Dan live nearby in Bethlehem, so they get the chance to raid each other's snack cabinets often. Diana loves all the Philly sports teams, her doggos- Gino and Mario, crocheting beautiful blankets, a good cup of coffee and pickles! She's also a DOCTOR!
Genna Cottingham
Bridesmaid
Genna is Bridget's cousin, God-sister and half-birthday twin! Genna attends Villanova (Go Wildcats!) and loves writing for the newspaper. When she isn't on campus, she can be found at Breezy Point or Madison Square Garden. Genna is the little sister Bridget never had. They have many travel memories, from the Pocono water parks to Las Vegas! Genna loves concerts, The NY Giants, adventuring around Manhattan, and the chicken parmesan at Kennedy's Restaurant.
Jess Lagas
Bridesmaid
Jess and Bridget have been friends since they met in their First-Year hall at Scranton- Fitch 2nd floor. They also quickly discovered that Jess's house is just 40 minutes from Bridget's Nana's house in Connecticut- small world! Jess and Dan love to brag that they got to live together before Bridget and Dan did, as they became roommates during COVID. Jess is also affectionately known as Fishy. Jess loves her cat- Loki, all things Harry Potter/Star Wars/Marvel/Disney, knows everything about F1 Racing (which is apparently not the same as NASCAR) and driving for several hours on end at the drop of a hat.
Jenn Ricardi
Bridesmaid
Jenn met Bridget and Dan through Res Life at Scranton. Five minutes into their first conversation, Jenn and Bridget were already ~screaming~ about musicals and they have been close friends ever since. Jenn has the absolute best laugh you will ever hear, and if anyone starts wheezing (or crying) it is most likely her. Jenn loves her 2 cats- Olivia and Arizona, Animal Crossing, stupid jokes, and being surrounded by her favorite people.
Michael Meyer
Best Man
Michael is one of the first people Dan met through Res Life while serving meals during COVID. Dan and Bridget enjoyed bringing him on many adventures for Res Life as well as kidnapping him from campus once they graduated. Michael loves a good cup of coffee and should not be approached until he has had his first sip in the morning. He also loves his dog Dakota, bowling, and hanging out with friends. When in doubt, you can give him a coke coffee. His life's ambition is to be the first ever Doctor Lawyer Astronaut.
Wyatt Evans Gartley
Groomsman
Wyatt has been one of Dan's closest friends since 4th grade and is one of the only people known to still call him "Danny." Although there are often weeks, months, and sometimes even a year between getting together, they always reconnect as if they had talked just the other day. Wyatt enjoys running in races, musicals, and spending quality time with family and friends. He is often referred to as Dan's "brotha from anotha motha." He is most likely to go to a place he has never been before and still find someone there he knows.
Ian MacDonald
Groomsman
Ian was Dan's closest Res Life friend during his first year as an RA at Scranton. Dan and Ian would often hang out in their residence hall and also went on the Soul Men's retreat together. Some people on campus even thought that they looked like brothers. Bridget got to know Ian by joining in on Ian's lunch dates with Dan and a few other RA friends. Ian enjoys playing Smash Bros and hanging out with his cat Toast.
Jada Jimenez
Groomswoman
Jada and Dan met during their First Year Orientation at Scranton and happened to be one of the few OTs in his year that he actually enjoyed hanging out with outside of class. They would sit next to each other in the back of the room during each class they had together and would often send memes and videos to each other to pass the time. Jada met Bridget through Dan, and they ended up being roommates during their grad year. Jada enjoys dying her hair different colors, dancing, hanging out with family and friends, and her new cat Stitch. okurrr
