Anna & Kenny
Our People
Dave Freitag
Father of the Bride
I may be biased, but he’s the best Dad ever. A true role model. I wouldn’t be half the person I am without him. He’s always been one call away, day or night, sun or snow, 6 am or 11 pm, he’s always been there when I need him most. He’s taught me so much, but most importantly about trust and honesty. I can’t wait for him to walk me down the aisle and hand me off to Kenny who possesses so many of the same qualities (selfless, caring, driven, hardworking) that my Dad has shown me makes a phenomenal partner and parent.
Karen McCann Cutler
Mother of the Bride
The most caring Mom there is, always willing to hear about the good days and the bad. She’s never judged, and has been there through the hardest times. Kenny and I appreciate all her love, support, and the Holiday dish towels that we are always gifted to keep our kitchen forever in season. It was an honor to stand by her side on her wedding day, and I can’t wait for her to be a part of ours!
Ken Combes
Father of the Groom
Anna’s BFF. It’s difficult to separate those two. She’s the only one who laughs at his jokes. Although there is a few feet height difference between my dad and I…I still look up to him. We recently went on a family fishing trip to Wisconsin which is something he’s been wanting to do for years. I can’t wait to continue the tradition with him and eventually bring my kids up there too.
Mary Jo McNamara
Mother of the Groom
A mothers love for her children is like no other in this world. It’s hard for me to describe in a few sentences the most beautiful woman that brought me into this world. Not just me, but my 9 other siblings too. She gave us the ultimate gift of life. We owe her everything. I am who I am today because of her. I will never be able to repay her for everything she has done for me, but I will live the rest of my life making her proud.
Kaley Ward
Matron of Honor
Friend of the Bride- BFF’s since 5th grade. 22 YEARS of friendship. 73.33333% of our lives. Through thick and thin. Forever & ever & ever.
Matt Combes
Best Man
Brother of the Groom- King Scag. My main dude. Been my side kick since I was 1 year old. We terrorized Maplewood Avenue for 2 decades. We roomed in college together and ran the show there too. When he’s cool enough to move back home soon maybe I’ll downgrade him to Prince Scag.
Tom Bartell
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom- My oldest brother and someone I have always looked up to since I was a kid. When I was young I knew I could run my mouth to anyone knowing Tom was my big brother. He has been there for me always and to this day.
Mary Beth (Monka) Murphy
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Groom- the person who turns her police scanner on faster than Anna and plays golf just about as good as Kenny.
Cody Freitag
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride and Kenny’s pony-league baseball teammate. Little did they both know they’d become brothers-in-law. Cody is my older and much smarter brother- he made sure that I could never become the favorite by deciding to become a DOCTOR. Even though he is a Pathologist, I go to him for any potential new diagnosis I have for myself. Most importantly, Cody is the Dad of Freddie Freitag- my first nephew!
Kaley Combes
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Groom- big heart and even bigger dance moves (which Kenny would say she learned from him). Kaley & Kenny dance off???
Dennis Murphy
Groomsman
Brother-in-Law of the Groom- AKA Glenn from The Wedding Singer. As dependable as they come. Would take the shirt of his back for us. He has done more than he even realizes for Anna and me.
Ann Freitag
Bridesmaid
Sister-in-Law of the Bride- my first sister who made me an auntie to Freddie Freitag <3– never afraid to give the tough love, but would do anything for us!
Bobby Combes
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom- Bmcbo0t, Dota master. Bobby was in the same grade as Anna and had plenty of mutual friends. Bobby was my wingman and helped Anna realize she had a huge crush on me. He has always had my back literally and figuratively— he gives the best back massages.
Daniel Combes
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom- YeahYeah. The funniest dude I know. We have spent countless hours laughing. It’s been amazing watching him as a dad too and I can’t wait for our kids to grow up together.
Rachael Dagostino
Bridesmaid
Sister-in-Law of the Bride & Groom- always thinking the exact. same. thing. at the exact. same. time. Mommy to our baby niece Cora <3
Patrick Combes
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom- Larry. Fellow Blondie. Mini-Kenny, and I mean MINI. Maaahaaaan, I can’t loo cuh. We have so much in common and I love spending time with him. Jealous Anna?
Claire Combes
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Groom- the one who’s always up on the gossip and makes a meannnnnnnn cupcake.
Tony Combes
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom- Mr Combes, Dalton, Johnny Castle. My youngest brother. This little dude as a kid was my favorite. I used to show him off to all the ladies in my grade. I can no longer do that according to Anna.
Jesicca Hughes
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride— Met as random roommates at Kent State University. We sure did get lucky!!
Danny Mackin
Groomsman
Cousin of the Groom- Danny and I growing up were inseparable. We even worked as caddies together where no one trusted us in Euchre. We worked at camp together as counselors which played a huge role developing us into who we are today. Anna and I can always count on him being there for us- especially on our special day.
Phil Vedda
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom- Not quite as scag as Matt or Rob, but it’s close. Phil first moved here in 4th grade. After stuffing him in lockers for an entire semester I felt bad and we became friends. To this day I don’t have a more loyal friend and I’m lucky to have him by my side.
Tom McGraw
Officiant & Groomsman
Friend of the Groom- I remember Tom when he was a camper and I was a counselor. I thought to myself, “man that kid is tall for his age, and man is he a die hard”. He sticks out like a sore thumb, not just because he is tall, but that voice travels for miles…I alway thought “He’ll make a great officiant someday”. Fast forward 17 years and Tom and I have become great friends. My go-to for major gossip and sabotage. Super funny, caring, and smart. With all that being said, I hope he take takes it easy on me officiating our day.
Robert Verlie
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom- A legitimate contender for the King Scag throne. I grew up with Rob in school but we became really good friends when he decided to work at camp in 2007. That year I took him in and introduced him to the squad. It’s a good thing too because he was doomed without me with those old man jeans and hiking boots. Rob serves in the Air Force currently and I’m proud to call him one of my best friends.
Ik Agusiobo
Groomsman & DJ
Friend of the Groom- My Nigerian Prince. Where to begin..I met Ik in college freshman year after I rescued him from creeping the hallways alone. Little did I know the next 3 years Ik, Matt, and I would become roommates wreaking havoc at NDC. The only dude I know who carries speakers and a laptop everywhere he goes. Ik is one of my best friends and I have always dreamed of him DJing my wedding one day. This dude is extremely talented, strap in!
