Francis FerroneFrancis Ferrone

Groom

Taylor ZahnTaylor Zahn

Matron of Honor

Three pieces of one heart is how Kelsey would describe her relationship with her two sisters. Taylor, being the youngest of the three, brings joy in the form of laughter and levity. Her heart and arms are a place of rest for Kelsey. She is one of the greatest gifts in Kelsey's life and truly inspires her as a faith-filled woman, wife, and mother. She is also the reason why Kelsey and Francis ever had a chance to meet, and it was with Taylor where Kelsey decided to give his profile a like.

Clarence LeongClarence Leong

Best Man

Francis and Clarence met during orientation week at St Andrews in 2012 and quickly became friends over tennis, philosophy, coastal hikes, and involvement with the Catholic society. They teamed up to share a flat for the final two years of undergrad, and when Clarence moved to NYC for grad school, he and Francis spent the weekends exploring the city's museums, art galleries, and jazz clubs. Over the past decade Clarence has been a constant friend and one of the few people that Francis would entrust with nuclear launch codes.

Meagan KlineMeagan Kline

Bridesmaid

Meeting at UMary, post-college through FOCUS. Meagan and Kelsey became closer than friends after spending 33 days walking across Spain in 23'. As a result, Meagan knows Kelsey probably better than she knows herself! The adventure continues in the form of long road trips across states, partnering together in ministry, belly-hurting laughter, deep conversations, and the occasional walk. Ask her about miracles, seriously!

Alexander MontAlexander Mont

Groomsman

Alex and Francis started out in the same assigned study group during their first semester of UT's MBA program. This was a blessing, as Alex is a genius who got Francis through Microeconomics. Over the next 2+ years their friendship deepened over a shared love for wood fired pizza, physical fitness, and international travel. Upon graduation Francis spent several weeks with Alex and his wife, Pame, in Peru.

Hannah McCallisterHannah McCallister

Bridesmaid

Though meeting their freshman year at UMary, it was a pilgrimage to Israel in 18' that sealed what they knew would be a lifelong friendship. Today, it remains the type of friendship that distance and time do not touch. Hannah is a brilliant, creative mind, and one of the most giving people Kelsey knows. Together, they enjoy talking about philosophy, the wild west that is healthcare, and how to be saints on this side of heaven.

Carlos BedosCarlos Bedos

Groomsman

Another member of Francis' study team, Carlos and Francis took several classes together at UT and joke about the chaos of navigating Professor Doggett's Op ID team project (ask Carlos about energy drinks!). A fellow wine connoisseur and musician-turned-engineer-turned-businessman who makes parenting look easy, Carlos is a superhuman who reminds Francis to keep an element of 'play' in all walks of life.

Madeline MortensonMadeline Mortenson

Bridesmaid

Being roommates their freshman year at UMary over a choir tour turned out to be a truly pivotal moment for Kelsey. Madeline (and Carrie), to the astonishment of Kelsey, found her hilarious. Figuring this a phase, she was surprised when Mads continued to want to hang out with her. This surprise turned into four years' worth of sharing a room, staying up too late, and laughing to the point of tears countless times over. Madeline blessed Kelsey with the honor of being Godmother to her eldest, Clara, where the fun happily continues.

Parker MaysParker Mays

Groomsman

Parker is at least two feet taller than Francis and that's why he befriended him...okay just kidding. A fellow co-founder of the McCombs Aerospace Mgmt. & Innovation Club, Parker and Francis share a fascination with all things "space" and he's the first person Francis would call when forming a team for a lunar mission. He also introduced Francis to jalapeno poppers during the 2024 Super Bowl...

Abra CummingsAbra Cummings

Bridesmaid

Abra and Kelsey had known of each other for years, but not until Kelsey moved back to Helena did their friendship bloom and grow. Abra is Kelsey's ski ride-or-die, Montana outdoor partner in crime, and is just as likely to be found sitting on a couch drinking tea for hours. Together, they find joy in the little things, like wild flowers, singing around a campfire, and sharing mustard yellow as their favorite color.

Joseph AlaridJoseph Alarid

Groomsman

Joe and Francis met at a local kickboxing gym in Austin and have been romping around ever since. A recovering Californian who knows both code and hunting rifles like the back of his hand, Joe is the guy you want in your corner when **** hits the fan. He's also a blackbelt in barbecuing, floating in pools, and finding the Party.

Carrie KleinCarrie Klein

Bridesmaid

Both growing up in Helena, it's funny their paths did not cross until they decided to move to NoDak for college. But after that freshman choir tour, Carrie and Kelsey became inseparable. From a semester in Rome to late-night studies (type Bs lol) to graduating side by side because they found out they were BANs instead of BSNs (you'll have to ask), any time with Carrie was a time of easy laughter and feeling deeply known.

Kevin KroneKevin Krone

Groomsman

A classmate and fellow co-founder of the Aerospace Mgmt. & Innovation Club, Kevin is on track to be on the cover of 40 Under 40 business magazine for AI in real estate. Of all his buddies, Francis appreciates Kevin's ability to see opportunities, connect the dots, and think big about the future.
