Wedding Party
Payton Knauer
Matron of Honor
Hi! My name is Payton and I am Gillians Matron of honor. I’m beyond lucky to call her my sister and consider her my best friend. We’ve grown especially close thanks to a shared love of movies, sailing, our dogs and Taylor Swift. David actually lived with my husband and I when he first arrived in Houston, so he’s felt like family for a long time now. I could not have picked a better person for Gillian and cannot wait to celebrate with the both of them
Kaitlin Daniel
Maid of Honor
I have known Gillian quite literally since day one and although neither of us had any say in the matter, we are both very lucky. Maid of Honor, eldest sister, and where Gillian got her inspo for all things life… ice skating, Texas A&M, etc. I love to travel, live in Downtown Houston, and am Hobie’s designated baby sitter.
Katelyn Tomaszewski
Bridesmaid
I met Gigi when she started dating my brother, and from the very beginning I knew she was someone special. Over time, she became so much more than just his girlfriend—she became my sister. I feel incredibly lucky to have her in my life, and I couldn’t be more excited to stand by her side as she begins this next chapter with David.
Samantha Fussell
Bridesmaid
I met Gigi at sailing camp while helping out with her class alongside her older sister. For years she was “my friend’s little sister,” but somehow, after surviving sailing camp chaos and way too many FaceTimes, she got promoted to my actual friend. I’m beyond excited for Gigi and David, and I can’t wait to stand by her side on their big day!
Kylee Williams
Bridesmaid
I met gigi when we took basic sailing together (both times) throughout sailing we became closer and closer and now 11 years later she is one of my dearest and closest friends. I’m so honored that I got to watch her date David and now marry him. Excited is an understatement to get to be apart of their big day!
Maelynn Roberts
Bridesmaid
Hi, I'm Maelynn! When I first met Gigi, I was 11 years old and I looked up to her as one of the cool, older girls in sailing. Now I have the privilege of getting to call Gigi my lifelong best friend. I'm so excited for Gigi and David to continue their lives together, it's been such a special thing to get to watch from the beginning.
Callie Gilman
Bridesmaid
Hi! My name is Callie! I had the honor and privilege of being one of Gigi’s college roommates, but our friendship really began in our pharmacy tech and health science classes in high school :’) while only one of us ended up following that career path (obviously not gigi) i will always miss those days we shared together. But there was truly nothing more special than sharing the walls of an old college house that we turned into a home. Through many pets, A&M football games, becoming sisters (#aot) to Chick-fil-A breakfast runs in high school, I am overjoyed to be able to stand by her side on her wedding day! Cheers to the Tomaszewskis!
Lillie Medina
Bridesmaid
I met Gigi through another bridesmaid, Callie. I then had the honor of living with Gigi for 2 years while we went to Texas A&M. Over those two years Gigi and I watched a lot of movies, mostly her favorites, and ate a lot of Fuego queso. I also had the pleasure of getting to know David very well as he earned the title “House Boy”. Thankfully we both live in Houston now and are able to keep watching Oscar nominated movies together. So excited to celebrate Gigi and David’s next chapter of life. I can’t wait to be a part of such an incredible day
Alli Cholette
Bridesmaid
I met Gigi in 2021 when we became Kappa Delta sisters! Since then, we have shared so many memories together from traveling Europe and roadtripping to TAMU games across the country to the many days and nights spent in College Station. We have had countless adventures, and I am so thankful to call Gigi one of my best friends in the world. Anyone who knows her knows how caring and thoughtful, how funny and cool girl, and how much of an amazing friend she is. I am so thankful to have gotten to know her as a friend, sister, roommate, and now bridesmaid! I am so excited for this next chapter for Gigi and David, and I am so grateful to get to be a part of it!
Gabby Trevino
Bridesmaid
Hi I'm Gabby! I am currently a senior at Texas A&M and will be staying in the beloved Aggieland another year to get a master's degree in business. Thanks to Kappa Delta, Gigi and I met in the fall of 2022 when we went on a Big/Lil date. We both knew from the moment we met that it was a match made in heaven and I was absolutely certain that no one else would be a better big for me than Gigi. I'm always smiling when I'm with Gigi; whether that be when we're binge-watching Glee together, playing guitar hero, or talking about our shared love of rock music. She has been such a light, best friend, and sister to me throughout my entire collegiate experience. I am so thankful to have her in my life and can't wait for her and David's journey to flourish!
Nixon Chustz
Bridesmaid
I met Gigi my freshman year of college through KD and it was a friendship that felt like we had been best friends for ever. I cherish our college memories and being roommates my senior year (+ bonus roommate David). I am so excited for Gigi and David and what the future holds for them!
Emily Colby
Bridesmaid
I met Gigi back in 6th grade, and between school, band, and church, we became fast friends. It’s such a privilege to be able to call her a life-long friend. I’m so excited to celebrate Gigi and David on their special day!!
Bryson Purrenhage
Best Man
I’m Bryson, David’s cousin and best friend. We grew up side by side, spending time at the cottage, traveling, and snowboarding together making memories that I’ll always cherish. I’m honored to stand by his side on such an important day and couldn’t be more excited to celebrate as he begins this next chapter of his life.
Jordan Tomaszewski
Groomsman
Hi, I’m Jordan, one of David’s cousins. We’ve shared a lot of great memories over the years—whether it’s spending time together up at the cabin, hitting the links, or sneaking in some fishing whenever we get the chance. It’s truly an honor to stand by his side on the biggest day of his life. I couldn’t be happier for him. Congratulations, Gigi and David—I can’t wait to celebrate with you both!
Ryan Iles
Groomsman
I grew up with David, spending long hot summers playing soccer and leaning into all that life had to offer at a young age. Setting a great foundation for a friend for a long time. It is an honor to be apart of Gigi’s and David’s special day and to celebrate with all of you.
Brandon Suffel
Groomsman
I’m Brandon. David and I grew up as neighbors down the street—and later became college roommates, so I’ve had a front-row seat to who he really is. From long summers of euchre, golf, and trips Up North at Camp Tomaszewski, he’s been a constant in my life. I’m lucky to call him one of my best friends—and even luckier to stand next to him as he and Gigi start their life together.
Alex Simpson
Groomsman
Growing up David and I did everything together from playing soccer, enjoying Michigan state wins, or watching our first PG-13 movie (Happy Gilmore). I enjoy seeing David and Gigi any chance I get, and am proud to be a part of their special day.
Ryan Giancotti
Groomsman
David and I have known each others for almost 20 years! We’ve spent countless hours playing soccer together growing up. As we’ve gotten older I’ve enjoyed continuing our friendship with golf and rooting for Michigan state together. I am honored and excited to be part of David and Gigi’s special day!
Tommy Criscione
Groomsman
My name is Tommy Criscione. I met David my freshman year of college at Michigan State…..GO GREEN. Me and David got close bowling on Wednesday nights(I taught him everything he knows). David makes everyone around him feel welcome and is one of the most genuine/real friends I have. I’m very grateful for any time I get to spend talking with him. I haven’t known Gigi for as long, but it’s easy to see she is cooler than David and probably a better bowler. I am honored to be part of their big day and excited to see the things they accomplish and memories they make moving forward.
Mitchell Knauer
Groomsman
I’m Mitchell, and Gillian is my sister-in-law. I’ve known David for close to five years now and have come to know him as a roommate, golf buddy, and now as family. Over that time, I’ve come to appreciate how reliable, dedicated, and thoughtful David can be, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to call my brother. It’s been a privilege to have a front-row seat to David and Gillian’s next chapter in life, and I am so excited for their special day.
Aaron Purrenhage
Groomsman
I’m Aaron, I’m David’s cousin. Me and David spent a lot of time together growing up. David was a big part of my childhood, we had many years up at our family cottage and spent family vacations together. I’m elated to see the next part of his story, and I’m looking forward to the life that David and Gigi are gonna build together!
Henry Archibald
Groomsman
My name is Henry and I met David working in logistics in Houston. What started as a job quickly turned into a solid friendship built on rounds of golf, MLB games, and college sports weekends.
