Kirstie & John
Wedding Party
Brianna Orlando
Maid of Honor
Bri and I met our sophomore year at Penn State Berks. Ever since, we have been best friends. Although we have lived a country apart from each other, we remained very close. I'm so excited to have such a beautiful soul be my Maid of Honor.
Tony Treser
Best Man
Tony and I first met in the sixth grade and have been best friends for the last 16 years. You only meet so many people like Tony in a lifetime and I consider myself lucky to have him in my life. Strengths: Being Successful. Weaknesses: None. It is an absolute privilege and honor to have him standing beside me on this important day.
Caroline Stopiak
Matron of Honor
Cari, or Coach, and I met my first year teaching. We were actually set up by a coworker who said that we "would be great friends." Needless to say, she was right! We've had great memories from halloween parties to photoshoots. I was able to be with her for her beautiful wedding, and now she will stand with me for ours!
Robert Nellis
Groomsman
Robby "Buckets" and I first met during our internship at Westinghouse Electric Company. They didn't have enough desk space available for everyone so we shared a cube during our first year with the company. Even after space had become available, we voluntarily chose to continue sharing a desk because of how much fun we were having. We have continued that friendship ever since. Strengths: Wrestling John. Weaknesses: He Is Actually Perfect.
Kaitlin Bevan
Bridesmaid
Oh Katie Bevan. We met at Penn State Berks, and throughout college, she remained the responsible one of the group. No matter what, she made sure I made good decisions and stood with me through the bad ones. When she met John and liked him, I knew he had to be the one!
Timothy Rice
Groomsman
Tim and I first met pledging the Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity at Penn State University. Tim made fun of me a lot in the first few months of knowing each other and he hasn't stopped since. I spent some of the best years of my life together with Tim and we have continued to remain extremely close over the last 10 years. Strengths: Insulting John. Weaknesses: Has The Same # of Kidneys That I Do
Catherine Kriplean
Bridesmaid
Catie, Krippie, Catherine. The reason I made it through my first year teaching.. Catie and I taught together my first year and instantly hit it off. We were inseparable at Oleson Elementary and remained friends even when I switched schools and moved. She has a wonderful heart and I'm honored to have her as a bridesmaid.
Jason Masgay
Groomsman
Jay and I became very close friends while overseeing the operations of the Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity at Penn State University. During these trying times, Jay was a always voice of reason and continually helped to maintain my sanity. He has played an incredibly influential role in my life and for that I am forever grateful. Strengths: Providing Great Advice. Weaknesses: Flyers Fan.
Margaret Fitzpatrick
Bridesmaid
When I first met Maggie, she was 13 years old. I will never forget her first question being, "What's your favorite color?" Needless to say, she has truly become a little sister to me. I'm so excited to not only have her stand up for me and her brother, but also join her family.
Ian Myers
Groomsman
Ian Myers was my big brother in Alpha Sigma Phi at Penn State University. Ian has always been a mentor and role model to me and I am extremely thankful that he has literally and figuratively remained in my corner over the years. Strengths: Strength. Weaknesses: Follows Too Many Dudes on Instagram.
Thomas Fitzpatrick
Groomsman
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times.... "It is good to be Tom." Tom has somehow managed to acquire all of the positive traits of being a Fitzpatrick while avoiding the negatives. He is smart, he still has hair, he has style, and everyone loves him. It has been very rewarding to develop a friendship with him as he has grown up and I am extremely proud to be his brother. Strengths: Coolest Fitzpatrick. Weaknesses: Does Not Have a Job.
James Fitzpatrick
Groomsman
Jim and I shared a room from the moment I could remember until the day I left for college. Just to remind everyone - we lived in a four bedroom house and we were about 7 years old before Tom came around.... But when I look back at it, I wouldn't have changed it for anything in the world. I had the privilege of growing up with Jim and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything. Strengths: Smartest Fitzpatrick. Weaknesses: Returning Phone Calls.
Evan Tsudis
Koumbaro
Throughout our time together, Evan and I have engaged in a fair amount of mischievous behavior. From nearly getting kicked out of summer church camp to narrowly evading the Croussouloudis women at Thanksgiving, Evan has been by my side from day one. In a Greek Orthodox Wedding, the Koumbaro has a special role to play in sponsoring the marriage. I can think of no one else I would rather have play that role. Strengths: Extremely Handsome. Weaknesses: Can Barely Dunk
