Wedding Party
Danielle Ackermann
Maid of Honor
You read that right! There are 2 Danielle's and there always has been! Danielle and I met each other through our Family friends, when we were still in diapers and attending the same nursery school, and well- the rest is history. Danielle is my "Sister Friend" because growing up we were inseparable and honestly not much has changed. She helped me plan and was by my side on the Bermuda cruise where I asked Meghan to marry me, and I am honored to have her by my side on our wedding day.
Britny Appel
Bridesmaid
Britny and I have been best friends since 3rd grade. Possibly the coolest part of our friendship was when we lived right next door to each other for 5 years sharing everything from kitchen gadgets to late night talks on our balcony. I was actually in the hospital room when her son Roman was born, a memory I will always treasure. Don't be surprised if you catch us laughing hysterically at seemingly nothing- we cant stop- we wish we could too!
Kyla Szemenyei
Bridesmaid
Kyla and I have been friends since 5th grade when she recognized me from class outside swinging on my tire swing and had her Aunt Issy stop the car and let her out. Kyla is good at just about everything she tries, she’s the friend you can tell anything without judgement.
Alyssia Leibensperger
Bridesmaid
Alyssia and I met in competition cheering, her Mom (Donna) was our coach and some of my best memories growing up were at her house. We would have cheer sleepovers, pig roasts, swim, tumble, build, it was a blast! I am the God Mother to her daughter and was in her wedding way back in 2015!!
Megan Casciole
Bridesmaid
Megan and I met freshman year of high school, then went on to be roommates at Temple University. We have travelled a lot together (Denmark, Italy, and Curaçao to name a few). I became daughter #3 to her family and still try to make it on as many family vacations as I can. We both have our little quirks- and we know just how to call each other on them. ________________________ MEGHAN’S BRIDAL PARTY ________________________
Jacqui Russo
Bridesmaid
Jacqui and I became friends in third grade playing soccer together. We didn’t like each other at first, but once we realized we were both about as good as any third grader could possibly be, the rest was history. Since then, Jacqui has been more than a friend — she’s been a sister, and I’ve always felt like one of the Russo siblings. We’ve been through it all together, and no matter what, we’ll always be family.
Stephanie Rivard
Bridesmaid
Steph and I go way back to the good ol days of ABVM basketball, where the short and tall duo truly thrived. She’s been one of the most steady, dependable people in my life — always showing up, always having my back, and always getting the rebound. Some things never change. (Still feel bad about breaking your toe or finger or whatever it was that one season!)
Sam Caligiuri
Bridesmaid
Sam’s and my friendship has always been the definition of mi casa, su casa — which really meant I was always at her house. We were the inseparable kind of friends, always together since 5th grade. I can never thank her enough for letting me borrow her snowboard… and immediately run it into a ditch. Without that weekend at Elk when I learned how to snowboard, Danielle never would’ve swiped right — so truly, thank you for changing my life. And thank you for always being there, through everything.
Maddie Garvey
Bridesmaid
Maddie, my niece, has always had such a special place in my heart. In a family where game night is basically every night, I can’t imagine being fiercely competitive with anyone else — especially since she’s pretty much the only one who can keep up with me on skis. I feel so lucky to have her be part of this special day.
Jack Garvey
Ring Bearer
Jack, my nephew, has always been this incredible ball of energy in our family. He’s the king of goofballs and never fails to make everyone laugh — especially when we get into one of our unstoppable laughing spells. He definitely has that competitive Garvey spirit, whether he wants to race down a mountain on skis or go head-to-head in Mario Kart. I can’t wait to race around the dance floor with him at the wedding!
Alex Weiler
Officiant
Alex is one of my best friends, and I truly can’t express how perfectly timed our friendship was. We came into each other’s lives at such a pivotal moment, and since then he’s been a constant — a rock, a sounding board, and someone I can always count on when life gets a little wacky. Thank you for always being there and for always being just a call away when we want to get wacky and say “hell yeah brother!”
