Wedding Party
Alexandra Metelow
Maid of Honor
“Delaney and I met freshman year of college, I asked her if she was crying after she woke up from a nap and for some reason she’s been putting up w me ever since! We were inseparable freshman year, and I can’t imagine getting through college and life without her. We were gym buddies, roommates, and now we’re long distance best friends. Delaneys my no judgement, always there if you need her, and always good for a laugh (and some self deprecating humor) type of friend and I’m so so stoked to be by her side on her big day!!”
Mark Chajkowski
Best Man
“I met zora in 9th grade but I guess you could say I knew him longer than that because Doc Zora was my dentist. Before I even met Matthew I already knew he wore a helmet to school and licked the windows on the short bus. Matthew and I went on to become good friends and actually lived together freshman year at Pitt (a mistake he would never make again). We’ve always been very close and because of our mutual interest in sports, 🤌 Italian Heritage 🇮🇹🍕🍝🤌 and talking crap on people who aren’t present, we’ve never been short on topics. I am very proud to be Matthew’s best man (once again a mistake he will never make again)”

“I met Delaney our freshman year of college at Pitt! Our dorm rooms were right beside each other in Holland Hall. I remember her going on her first date with Matt and it’s been so awesome watching their relationship grow over the years. She’s the most supportive and loving person and I’m so appreciative of her! From day one I knew Delaney was an amazing friend and someone you can always count on and have the best time with. We also have wayy too many fun memories from Pitt! I’m so lucky I found a forever bestie in my dorm neighbor on Floor 9!”
Nathan Burwell
Groomsman
“Matt was one of the first people I met in college on my floor and I immediately thought “damn this guys cool”. After 4 years of studying, partying, and playing recreational league football together; I got to know the real Matt Zora. A hardworking, dependable, nerd. But even without being as suave as his idol Tom cruise I am honored to be his groomsman and say he is my good friend. Cheers boss, I can’t wait to crack a cold four loko with you.”
Ashley Rebel
Bridesmaid
“Delaney and I have been friends for almost twenty years. Growing up, we went through the baby years of cheerleading and gymnastics, and even middle school volleyball together. Some of my other favorite memories of us include trips to my cabin and so many concerts. I didn’t know then just how important this girl would end up being in my life. Through high school, college, and beyond Delaney has been my biggest hype man and sweetest friend. She’s always there for a good laugh or a shoulder to lean on. I cannot wait to celebrate this special day with my lifelong friend.”
Andrew Walters
Groomsman
“Matt and I met in 2013 during our freshman year at Pitt living on the same floor and studying engineering together. We have grown as friends through our shared passion for golf. We also enjoy tailgating and watching Pitt football games every fall. Matt has become a great friend that I am happy to have met.”
Cassandra Trumbetta
Bridesmaid
“I met Delaney freshman year at Pitt living in Holland Hall together. Over the years our friendship has only gotten stronger over a shared love of Harry Potter, a shared outlook on life, and most importantly, a shared taste in alcohol. Any time I find myself drawn to something new, the first person I discuss it with is Delaney because, without fail, she has an interest in it too and is already obsessed with it and knows more about it than me. This girl understands my humor, she sends me the funniest tiktoks, and I can always count on her for a great laugh or a deep philosophical conversation. We truly are kindred spirits and I could not imagine going through life without a friend like her.”
Paul Gatto
Groomsman
“Matt and I first met in pre-calculus class, and the world was never the same. After bonding over cigars and homework, we knew we were a couple of goombas destined for greatness. Our adventures spanned from the PGA Championships to Italy and back, nothing could stop us. My life has never been the same since we became friends, and the future looks even better.”
Alyssa Shanahan
Bridesmaid
“Delaney and I had gone to high school together since freshman year but we became closest our senior year while playing lacrosse together and have been amazing friends since! Delaney is a true friend and is really someone you can count on to be there for you anytime you need something and I couldn’t be more thankful for that. I am beyond happy that she found true love with Matt because they are honestly perfect for each other, you can tell by just being in the room with the two of them. I am so excited to be a part of their special day”
Craig Jonathan Rouse
Groomsman
“Matt and I met in college and had the fortune of interning together in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. That's where we really started to get to know each other. I will never forget his late night runs to the grocery store for personal cakes. Matt and his father both took me out hunting for my first time and taught me how to fly fish. They've been my outdoor guides and I have enjoyed every moment out in the wilderness with both of them. Alas now I am living in the middle of nowhere PA and don't get to see as much of Matt as I used to, but every year I know I'll get to see him and father during hunting season and I will look forward to it for years to come.”
Mara Meyer
Bridesmaid
“Delaney and I met back in our catholic school days K through 3rd grade. We ended up moving on to playing sports together and then became reunited in high school and had the opportunity to play Lacrosse together. Ever since we were little I knew Delaney would be one of my true friends. I’m so happy life kept us together and grew our friendship. She is someone I can always count on and I’m so honored that she asked me to stand beside her on such a special day. I look up to the love Matt and Delaney have and am so excited to see what the future holds for them.”

“Here’s a pic of me and my good buddy Matthew! We met in high school and immediately bonded over our love for the finer things in life like nice cars and mild cigars”
Jana Nedic
Bridesmaid
“I met delaney in high school my junior year & her senior year! Truly I can’t believe we waited so long because after one conversation it just kicked off and I knew she was gonna be my forever friend! She’s the true definition of a ride or die, honest, loyal, most kind & true friend... & she will tell me when I’m wrong and put me in check real quick that’s what I love so much about her. I look up to her as a big sister & my life would be so dull without her.”
Jarren Kelly
Groomsman
“Hi I’m Jarren, Delaney’s younger brother. I am 19 years old. I could ramble on for a while about Delaney good and bad but all I have to say is that’s my sister and best friend that helped raise me. I couldn’t be any happier to see her get married and there’s not a better person than Matt to make her happy (and keep her in line because seriously I’ve never seen her listen to anyone until him). Im truly honored to soon be able to call him a brother. Love to the happy couple”
Katy Digovich
Bridesmaid
“We met when her brother asked me to show her around the Bay Area. She was 15 then and I was in my mid 20s, home from Southern Africa where I had been living.When I met her I was blown away - she was the coolest, most mature, pragmatic and relatable teenager I had ever encountered. It felt like I was kicking it with one of my close friends. Of course, that teen grew into the amazing force of nature that she is now. She is a breath of fresh air whose worldliness took her to Jordan over the summer, where I visited and we had our share of adventures and deep life convos. I am constantly floored by her perspective, thoughtfulness and empathy. She is wise beyond her years, I am proud to feel a kinship with her, honored to call her a close friend and lucky enough to now be dating her brother”
Carthele Kelly
Groomsman
“I don’t remember the first time I met Matt, but I certainly remember the first time I knew he was ‘the one’ to marry my sister. He invited me to play a round of golf. As the oldest sibling of Delaney, I knew I had to bring my ‘A’ game, play a competitive round with this guy. At the turn, Matt asked me for my sister's hand in marriage. I said yes, but unbeknownst to Matt, I knew my sister would never forgive me if I walked off the course and lost.. & I did emerge as victor. I’ll never forget that day, nor allow Matt to live it down. I’m so proud of the woman my little sister has become, and she deserves the best. I couldn’t be happier to see her take this next step with Matt. Thankfully he can cook; his saving grace, as golf/gambling/fantasy football have proven not to be the case.”
Kristin Malock
Bridesmaid
“I met Delaney through my brother, Matthew (aka the groom). As soon as I saw them together I knew my brother had met his match, his partner in crime, and most importantly the love of his life. Delaney and I hit it off immediately and have become so close. My entire family loves Delaney and I am beyond grateful that my brother is finally giving me something I have never experienced, a sister.”
Brian Malock
Groomsman
“I met Matt in February of 1996 when he was the ripe old age of 10 months. I originally thought Matt was a girl since he was wearing a night gown and had real long bangs. Since then, I’ve watched Matt grow and succeed at every stage of his life. Even though he is officially my brother “in-law”, I consider him my brother.”
