Erin & John
Wedding Party
Emily Kezele
Maid of Honor
Most of you know me as Erin's baby sister. I currently live in Columbus, OH. I am a Senior at The Ohio State University where I am majoring in Environmental Science. I met John when I was 12 years old. He has been like a brother to me for nearly half of my life. Since he is another "baby" we have a special bond; we both love Erin, pugs, and sprinkle donuts. When I was born, Erin arrived at the hospital, looked at me and said, "is that baby EVER going to stop crying?" Erin loved and nurtured me, and I eventually stopped crying, though I think I will shed a few happy tears on October 17th! I am so happy for you and john and I can't wait to stand next to you as your Maid of Honor!
Marcus Carano
Best Man
I currently live in Columbus, OH where I am working towards a Master's in Public Health through The Ohio State University. John and I met at The College of Wooster where we both played on the golf team. John is a few years older than me, so we only overlapped one year in college, but we became fast friends. After John graduated we stayed in touch through golf, working at a golf course together in the summers, and John remained involved with the Wooster golf program as an assistant coach. Our friendship has grown on and off the golf course in the years since we first met.
Katie Foraker
Bridesmaid
I am originally from Cleveland, OH but my husband (Tom) and son (Elliott) and I moved to Minnesota this past September after my husband started a fellowship at the Mayo Clinic. I currently work at The Mayo Clinic as a nurse in the Operating Room specializing in cardiac surgery. Erin and I met in undergrad at Ursuline College and instantly became friends, bonding over our struggle to study biology and chemistry. We then became roommates renting an apartment together we had tons of fun that year sharing laughs and memories. We both decided to go to nursing school and even though we were in different schools this time, we got through it together! And because of all that and so many other countless reasons she is also Elliott’s godmother. Cannot wait to come back to Cleveland to Celebrate!
Kyle Wrentmore
Groomsman
I currently live in Columbus, OH with my wife Kimmy. We are parents to 3 fur children, our lab Zoey & 2 cats, Oliver & Lucy. I work as a civil engineer & nutrition coach. Most of my memories with John include playing basketball growing up & throughout high school. He always pushed me to improve every day as a player & as a person. Who could forget our weekly post-game trips to Applebee's for half prize apps with the team & cheerleaders. I remember when John and Erin started to "talk" at these post parties. Eventually it turned into dating and the rest is history! Since we met so young, I don't recall our first interaction but my favorite memory was having a birthday party at my house and John falling into the blowup pool. We were running around outside & all of a sudden we hear a splash!
Sitara Kumar
Bridesmaid
I currently live in Baltimore where I work as a nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I met Erin in 2018 when we both started nursing school. To put it simply, we went through many highs and lows over those 15 months, and these experiences brought us closer than I could've imagined. From being roommates, girl's nights and Ranchos to 6am clinicals and surviving the Dominican Republic, we've been through countless memories together. Although we have not known each other long, Erin has become family and just goes to show that time doesn't define the depth of a relationship. I could not be more excited for Erin and John and can't wait to celebrate their love. We sat next to each other in every class and now I'm so happy to stand by your side on your wedding day!
Nick Angelo
Groomsman
I live in Lakewood, OH where I work as a Test Engineer at Hyland Software. My job is to write test code to ensure that Hyland's mobile applications work as intended. I'm one of John's older brothers. We grew up together, worked together at our family's restaurant, and went to high school together. I've spent a lot of time with Johnny over the last 30 years and I can honestly say that he's one of my favorite people. I've been 'Team Erin' since I first met Erin when Johnny brought her to a family dinner in 2006. It was immediately obvious how happy those two made each other. I've had the privilege to witness their love grow and mature over the last 14 years and it'll be an even greater privilege to stand beside them on October 17th.
Maggie Behun
Bridesmaid
My name is Maggie Behun (formerly Roberts). I currently reside in Sewickley, PA with my husband Brandon and our three dogs. Erin and I met in the middle of her freshman year when we both pledged Theta sorority at The College of Wooster. We became fast friends! Erin and I have been through it all together and it has most definitely been a fun ride. John has been in the mix for as long as I have known Erin. While I’m sure he “snickered” that his girlfriend at the time had a friend who was a Steelers fan, he accepted me with open arms. He was kind enough to show me all Cleveland has to offer (but still, Go Steelers). Erin and John are the kindest, most selfless people I have ever met. I am lucky enough to stand by Erin’s side on her big day and excited for John to marry the girl of his dreams
Joe Angelo
Groomsman
I currently live in Wickliffe near Pine Ridge Golf Course with my beautiful fiancee Abbigail, my beloved dog Buddy and my two cats Snow and Stark. I've been working as an Engineer for nearly 10 years since graduating from OSU and I recently started working at a family-owned Aerospace Component Manufacturer in Ravenna. As John's eldest brother, I've have had the pleasure of watching him grow-up to the person he is today. I first met Erin when she was just seventeen years old and John brought her over to meet the family before one of their first dates. These two have been inseparable since. As John's brother, I've been there for all of his greatest achievements and biggest milestones. I cannot wait to support him and stand by his side for this next great milestone.
Cassidy Artz
Bridesmaid
I live in Atlanta, Georgia and work as a Physician Recruiter. Erin and I met when Mrs. Kezele was our pre-school teacher, and we have been inseparable since. From epic Halloween sleepovers to exciting international trips, Erin and I have grown up together. I cannot wait to see Erin walk down the aisle and become Mrs. Angelo. Ever since Erin and John met, I have been team, John! I admire and respect the love Erin and John have for each other. I love this couple with all of my heart. This couple is like family to me, and I am honored to watch them tie the knot on October 17th!
Nick Palladino
Groomsman
I was born and raised in Cleveland, OH but currently reside in Florida with my wife Leigh and our daughter Nora who we welcomed in April! I recently retired from the PGA Latin American Tour and now work as the Director of Golf Operations at Westchase Golf Club in Tampa. I met John during my freshman year at Mayfield High School when we both played on the golf team. We have remained close friends throughout college and after. John recently served at my wedding as my Best Man in 2018. Erin and I go back to the 5th grade where we met at Millridge Elementary School. We remained close friends throughout middle school and even dated in the 6th grade! We spent most of our relationship playing basketball outside and convincing our parents to drive us to unicycle club before school started.
Kiley Wasserman
Bridesmaid
I am from Toledo, OH but currently reside in Cleveland with my Fiance, Nick. I work as a Senior Stoploss Underwriter at Roundstone Insurance. I first met John when he was hired to work in my department in 2014. John quickly became one of my best friends. He finally introduced me to Erin at a Brown's tailgate party for her birthday. We hit it off immediately and have been best friends since. This couple has remained a huge part of my life and I cannot wait to celebrate on October 17th!
Adam Kezele
Groomsman
I grew up with Erin as her older brother. I went to school for acting & moved to NYC shortly thereafter to pursue a career in theatre & ended up running away with the circus. I met my girlfriend Jessie on a national tour of “Peter Pan 360”. After the tour closed I moved to LA where I work as an acrobat & coach. Ive spent the last 2 years touring as an acrobat/actor/ice skater with Disney on Ice. Ive enjoyed getting to know John over the years & especially enjoyed our group trip up to Niagara Falls. Having “John Angelo Finder of Things”(a title Erin bestowed on him) around when I visit has been great, one more person for Erin to yell at instead of me! The life of a traveling performer doesnt allow me to visit home often so I am looking forward to celebrating with everyone at their Wedding!
Olivia Kamat
Flower Girl
I live in Cleveland, OH with my mom, dad, sister, and dog. I am seven years old and in first grade. The first time I met Erin was when I was a baby. She took care of me every day after her college classes. My favorite memory was going all around Italy and Switzerland this summer with Erin. I knew she was going to get engaged and I kept it a secret the whole time. Erin couldn't believe I knew and didn't say a word! I am most looking forward to being in Erin and John's wedding as their flower girl with my sister Ari!
Arianna Kamat
Flower Girl
I am four years old and in Pre-Kindergarten. I live in Cleveland with my mom, dad, older sister Olivia and our brand new puppy, Luci! Erin took care of me and my sister ever since Liv was a baby. One of my favorite memories is when John and Erin "got in love" on the top of a snowy mountain in Switzerland. Some of my other favorite memories are going to the Kezele's house to celebrate Christmas, baking Christmas cookies, and having Easter egg hunts in Erin's backyard. I have never been a flower girl before, but I am very excited to be apart of John and Erin's wedding!
Elliott Foraker
Ring Bearer
I will be two years old on Halloween. My mom and dad are Katie and Tom Foraker. They went to college with Erin and they even lived together for a while. Most of you know her as Erin, but I know her as my Auntie and God Mother. My aspiration is to make it down the aisle without crying on their special day!
