Wedding Party
Jessica McLaughlin
Maid of Honor
Jessica is my older (littler) sister. She is my first friend, my biggest supporter, and an incredible force of love and strengh. From sharing a bed as kids (adults), to celebrating every milestone, she’s always been there for me. Inspiring and hardworking, she balances her dedication with a joyful, silly spirit that lights up every room. She doesn't know it, but she is a badass. As a mother, she’s nothing short of amazing, and I’m so grateful for the littles that call me, "Aunt Maggie." I’m lucky to call her my sister and thankful every day for the bond that we share. I have the most beautiful, fulfilling relationships in the world- my love, my parents, my friends, but there is nothing I feel deeper and harder than my sistership.
Liam Stenson
Best Man
Liam is one of the most impressive people I know. Normally, it's the older brother who is looked up to by their siblings, but in my case, it's the opposite. Liam has taught me how to be a better brother, a better football player (I'm still not great), and a better person. When Liam asked me to be his best man, it was one of the proudest days of my life. I am beyond honored to have Liam by my side as my right-hand man on the most important day of my life. Liam, Madison and I are so excited for you to be my best man at the wedding. I promise we'll move in right next door to you (just kidding... or am I?). Love you, Liamo!
Morgan Kok
Bridesmaid
Morgan and I met through volleyball, but what started as a simple connection on the court quickly turned into a lifelong friendship. We’ve been through it all together—childhood milestones, growing pains, and countless moments of laughter that only someone who truly understands you can bring. Morgan is not only one of the smartest, most driven people I know, but she has an incredible ability to get me in a way that no one else does. Watching Morgan meet the love of her life has been one of best moments of our friendship, and now, as she stands by me while I marry mine, I feel this deep sense of gratitude for all the moments we've shared. Our friendship has been a constant through every season of life, and I know there are so many more memories waiting for us. Morgan, you are more than just my best friend—you’re a sister. I’m beyond lucky to have you by my side on this day and every day.
Ruairi Stenson
Best Man
Ruairi, aka Rooster, is the best little brother I could ask for. His maturity level is crazy at times; I forget he's only 21 because he's way more mature than I could ever be at that age, and even now. Ruairi keeps me young and constantly tells me about his fits and music. Ruairi, you're so impressive, and Madison and I are beyond excited to have you as our Best Man 2 at the wedding. Love you, Rooster!!
Catherine Stansbury
Bridesmaid
If I had to sum up my friendship with K$, as she likes to go by professionally, it’s the perfect mix of hilarious chaos and deep comfort. We lived together for two years in Manhattan, navigating the ups and downs of city life with laughter, takeout, and a lot of wine-fueled chats. Kate is, hands down, one of the funniest people I know. But beyond the jokes, she’s been my rock, always there with a listening ear, a laugh. We’ve spent hours (mostly K$) talking about life, love, and everything in between, and there’s no one else I’d want by my side for all the big moments. Love you, K$!
Gia Gladden
Groomswoman
I met Gia playing kickball. She wasn't even on the team when I met her, and we instantly clicked. Gia is my best friend; whenever we hang out, I always know it's going to be the best. I can call Gia at any moment, and she'd be down for whatever. From a "Gia and Eamon Messaround" day to going to the movies, G is always there and always down to hang out with me. My favorite moment was when I helped Gia move into her apartment during COVID. I won't retell the story because IYNYK, but I still owe you a mason jar, which is on the registry, and I'll give it to you, G. I love you so much, G, and we're so beyond thankful to have you in our lives. Go Birds!
Devon Rowles
Bridesmaid
In the summer of 2014, Devon messaged me on facebook messenger inquiring about being roommates. We lived together freshman and sophomore year where we learned to be independent (together), navigated new studies and fraternity parties, shared literally everything-- clothes, shoes, homework, stories, and MOST importantly, became best friends. After four years of all things Penn State and best friendship, we decided we should move to Manhattan and take on the next phase of our lives (together). In addition to our beach time, we still love to frolic around NYC, taking in the best it has to offer- Wine, Nets Games, Girl Dinners, and endless chit-chats like girly girlies. ~608 Brumbaugh Hall Forever~
Robert Merone
Groomsman
Robbie is my BIL, friend, and cheerleader. He knows no judgement. He supports and loves the most important people in my life, unconditionally. He is an incredible father, husband, and friend. He is patient, funny, thoughtful, and sneaky good at games. Although its only been 12 years, I feel as though Rob has always been apart of our intimate family. The bond we’ve built is something I will always cherish, and I am so grateful to have you by our side as I marry the love of my life. Thank you for being a constant source of love and strength, not only for me but for our little family. Rob is a new friend I'm grateful for. Rob, I'm currently taking notes on being a dad because you're an amazing father. When John was missing, even though you had to get up early with the kids, you came up to me and said, "Let's go to the bar" in Sea Isle. Love ya, Rob!
Emily Dumont
Bridesmaid
Aka Emily Sweigart, aka Em Swag, aka Swag Daddy, aka Swagalicious. Emily is my fearless, beautiful, driven, courageous best friend. Em and I share so many similarities. We met our best friends at Penn State, found our passion in hospitality, fell in love in Manhattan, and value family above all else. We have the same sense of humor, same outlook on life. When we are together, you count on laughs, tears, sushi, wine, candles and gushing over Em's most beautiful bebe, Brody.
Karley Edwards
Groomswoman
I met Karley playing kickball (I think there's a common thread). Karley quickly grew into a support system I thought I never knew I needed. Karley is the funniest person I've met; her quick wit and dry attitude always make me laugh. I can call Karley at any moment for a chat or to hang out, and if she's not at the bathhouse or gym, Karley is always down for a Delirium. We're so excited to have you in the wedding! Love you, Karley!
Christine Sibley
Bridesmaid
My Philly girl! Christine is bubbly, beautiful and always down for a good time. Whenever we see each other, no matter how long its been, it starts with a scream, embarrassing dance, and wiggling eyebrows. We became sisters at Penn State and have taken on so many adventures since then. Christine is an artist, always finding the beautiful in the mundane. My apartment in Manhattan was her second home the years after college, and now her house in Philly is becoming mine. I love doing life with Christine. xx
William Gaffney
Groomsman
Although *technically* Billy is my cousin, he has always felt like my brother. He has brought two beautiful women into my life, Les and Sophia. We have so many childhood memories together- holidays, family vacations, falling asleep at restaurant tables. Now, we get to be apart of each others special days! Love you brother <3 I met Billy the day before his wedding to his wife, Leslie. Billy quickly introduced himself and told me he was a Liverpool fan, which I found amusing since I'm an Everton supporter. On his wedding day, Billy saw that I was by myself while Madi was getting ready with the bridesmaids, and he invited me to hang out with him and the guys. I knew instantly that he was a unique Liverpool fan. Billy often texts me during derby days and throughout the year to talk about football. I'm excited to upgrade our friendship from "my guy" to "my brother." We love you, Billy!
Jenifer Maurer
Bridesmaid
Penny and I met by pure luck freshman year of high school when we were seated next to each other in homeroom. We had almost every class together junior year, and senior year was filled with endless sleepovers. After high school, we both ended up at Penn State, where we spent weekends cheering on the Nittany Lions and making more memories that still make us laugh today. Our adventures didn’t stop there—one of my favorite trips in life was to Amsterdam with you, where we explored the city’s food, artistry, and journaling. Later, I visited you in Austin, and you returned the favor in New York. Through it all, we’ve remained the best of friends, sharing laughter, stories, and experiences that will last forev. No matter where in life, I know we will always pick up where we left off.
Kieran Ridge
Groomsman
Kieran, aka BSG, is my oldest friend in New York, and I met him playing kickball. Kieran is the best guy to grab a beer with and is always down to watch sports and hang out. Kieran has an uncanny ability to bring up things that happened on a date, which to this day is still so impressive. I have too many stories that would crack anyone up, but we'll leave those for another time. To one BSG to another, we're so excited for you to be part of our special day.
Erika Maximuck
Bridesmaid
Erika is one of my best friends, and I’m so lucky to have her in my life. From our time together at Penn State to our unforgettable trip to Budapest, we’ve created memories that will last a lifetime. Erika is smart, hot, and I love how she always knows how to make me laugh. Erika takes planes, trains, and cars to stay on our couch regularly. We love to laugh, and hold each other's confidants, as well as accountabilities. No matter where life takes us, I know we’ll always be best friends, sharing the big moments and the small ones, eating amazing food along the way.
Christopher Ashmore
Groomsman
Chris and I went to high school together, but we didn't exactly get along back then. During covid I was attempting my Beerio Kart (which I have retired from) run and Chris messaged me on instagram and goes Eamon you have to join our fantasy football (soccer) league. I am so grateful that Chris added me to this group as I have 10 very close friends in the lads. From that moment on, we became close friends, and Chris has introduced me to many new people who are attending the wedding. I'm grateful for Chris and his sense of humor. Love you, Commiss!
Victoria Gammons
Bridesmaid
Vicki and I became instant best friends in college, and we were obviously "twins" in our sorority. We despise ketchup-- get spicy or get out! Whether we were laughing, or sharing buffalo wings at 2 a.m., every moment with you was full of fun. Our friendship is the kind of bond that lasts a lifetime. No matter where life takes us (you), I know we’ll always be the best of friends, sharing memories and creating new ones. I’m beyond grateful for you, Victoria Louise Dominque Gammons.
William Sullivan
Groomsman
I met Will playing kickball. Will is the ultimate outfielder and down-to-clown guy I could know. He's El Capitan and has opened my mind to being way more calm (still not calm) on and off the field. Will, who is the president of NYU Penn State (follow them), has included a non-Penn Stater like me in all the gatherings and events. I'm so beyond grateful for what Will has done since we lost John. Will was one of the people who really helped me get back out there, and I'll forever be grateful for you. I love you, Will.
Ashley Khorassani
Bridesmaid
Ashley and I met in college, and I knew right away that she was someone truly special. Ash and Eamon's friendship makes me smile and laugh. I cannot imagine marrying the love of my life without her behind me. She is the most honest person I have ever met. She’s genuine, striking stunning, intelligent, and, of course, hysterical. She does not settle in any aspect of life. What I love most about Ash is how we bond over one of my greatest passions in life: food. Whether we’re trying a new restaurant, or cooking up something together, I know it’s going to be a memorable experience filled with the best conversation and plenty of laughs. I truly treasure the friendship we’ve built.
John Colwell
Groomsman
John is the most spontaneous guy ever. How John and I became friends was that we both love to stay out and "have one more." We quickly bonded and grew as close friends. John and I are always out late having one more in the Red Lion and always sending funny memes. John is my guy, so much so that when I lost my keys, I texted the Cabinet (IYKYN), and John was the first to respond, saying, "My bed is your bed."
Anna Duemler
Bridesmaid
Anna Banana, my neighbor next door freshman year of college. Banana is beautiful and smart. When I think of her, I hear her laugh. Banana looovvveesss a comedy show. She is an amazing friend, and an even better listener. I cannot wait to dance the night away with my girl on my big day!
