Alex & Katie
Wedding Party
Christina Cordell
Maid of Honor
Christina is my amazing sister that I'm lucky enough to call my Maid of Honor. Even though she is two years older than me, everyone always thought we were twins growing up. Although the miles have grown between us since she moved to NYC, we are closer than ever. I'm thankful that I get to call her my sister and my friend.
Brian O'Shei
Best Man
Brian is my cousin and really close friend. A friesen, if you will. Growing up, we didn't get to see each other too often because he lived in Virginia. We got closer and closer as we got older and he moved to Buffalo and now to Margaretville, NY. We enjoy disc golf, video games, beer pong, and long, drunken, walks in the snow at 3 in the morning as we teehee our way to wreak havoc on members of our own family. When I tell Brian that he's my best friesen I can always count on him to say, "No you".
Kelsey Conniff
Bridesmaid
Kelsey is one of the sweetest people I know. We became friends in high school and she even played a small role in Alex and I getting together! Our friendship is one that I cherish so much because of how genuine it has always been. She is someone that I will always be able to count on which is why I'm so excited to have her by my side at our wedding.
Danny Segur
Groomsman
Danny has been my best friend since elementary school. Growing up, his house was the place to be. Video games, tons of junk food, and hamperball into the wee hours of the morning. As we got older, it turned into hours upon hours of basketball every single day during the summer and after school (or even work eventually) whenever we could. We don't get to see each other too often anymore since he moved to Louisville, KY, but we text almost every day about the latest video games or his growing family - but mostly video games. I consider myself lucky to have such a close friend like Danny.
Erin Weigel
Bridesmaid
I met Erin when she starting dating Alex's Best Man, Brian. For years I couldn't wait for Brian to find a great girl so I didn't have to be a third wheel in his and Alex's bromance anymore! I couldn't have asked for someone better than Erin. I knew from the first time I met her that she would fit in perfectly. We love drinking Malibu and pineapple together and lately we have been having so much fun planning our weddings together.
Tommy Smith
Groomsman
At first glance, Tommy might seem like an odd choice to have as a groomsman in our wedding party because nobody really knows how close we are. I met Tommy when I was a kid and was visiting Brian, my best man, in Buffalo as he was visiting his family and friends. Ya follow? Tommy and I reconnected when I was visiting Brian, again, in Buffalo a few years ago and we've been great friends since. Now, we play video games online together and talk all the time. He's a fun-loving friend and all around great person and it made perfect sense for me to have him as one of my groomsmen.
Renee Cordell
Bridesmaid
Renee became my third sister when she married my brother Tim. I was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid in their wedding down in Florida. She is the mom of four beautiful, silly children. She is such a caring person and a lot fun to hang out with.
Tim Cordell
Groomsman
Tim is Katie's brother but has also grown to be a great friend of mine. He is the father of four amazing, hat-stealing, kids (well, not Arya yet but I imagine she'll get there) who I love hanging out and spending time with. Even with these little animals, Tim is the chillest, most laid-back guy I know. He's a great person to watch some UFC and have a drink with and I'm excited to be able to call him my brother in law.
Deanna Diliberto-Cordell
Bridesmaid
Deanna is my sister in law who is married to my brother Matt. She is also the mom of my lovable niece Maddy. Most of our family game nights are hosted by her which is great because she provides the best snacks and is always fun to spend time with.
Matt Cordell
Groomsman
Tim's twin, Matt, is a great friend of mine who I also get to call my boss. I spent a few years after college breaking my back in warehouse work but Matt plucked me from my own personal Hell and hired me at Custom Logo. Now I get to break my back printing t-shirts for him instead! I owe a ton to this guy for helping me find my passion as a screenprinter and am even more grateful because the opportunity has brought us so much closer together than we were before.
Kira
Flower Girl
This is our sweet, loving, Flower Girl Kira. She will be four years old at the wedding.
Chase
Ring Bearer
We're so lucky to have this little guy as our Ring Bearer. He will be seven years old at the wedding.
Alonna and Maddy
Junior Bridesmaids
These cuties were my first two nieces. We have a special place in our hearts for these girls so we couldn't imagine our wedding day without including them!
