Gina & Ben
Wedding Party
Megan Hasley
Maid of Honor, Friend of the Bride
Megan met Gina at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School when Gina moved to Iowa in 3rd grade. They became inseparable best friends in 4th grade, and have remained friends throughout the years as they attended different high schools and colleges. As kids, Megan and Gina looked a lot alike and even successfully convinced a few people that they were cousins. Gina's favorite memory of them together is the marathon weekends they would spend together with Megan's family over the 4th of July, having sleepovers several days in a row in between going to multiple firework shows and the local parade. More recently, Megan & Gina have revisited the nostalgia of their middle school years by attending several Emo Nites in Des Moines, IA, where Megan lives.
Tyler
Best Man, Friend of the Groom and Bride
Tyler first met Ben on the scorched, dusty earth of the Oregon Trail. They became instantly inseparable as they fought against all the challenges the world could throw at them, spirits never faltering, Atlantic Ocean always to their backs, moving endlessly Westward in search of a better life... Except for the fact they actually met their freshman year of college while living on the same dorm room floor, which is not as cool of a story. Soon after they became roommates, and have remained friends ever since. Tyler and Ben enjoy a friendship filled with Dungeons and Dragons, video games, and other nerd pursuits.
Analisa (Ana) Chieffo
Bridesmaid, Sister of the Bride
Ana has had many roles in Gina's life throughout the years -- mini me when they were kids, a real-life doll for playing with makeup, a built-in friend to hang out with on family vacations, and a bestie to get matching tattoos with. It was only fitting for her to stand by Gina's side on her wedding day, too. Ana is a student at the University of Pittsburgh and studying Global Management. and Spanish
Nicholas (Nico) Chieffo
Escorting the Bride, Brother of the Bride
Nico is not only the best brother in the world for walking Gina down the aisle on her big day, but also because he once agreed to go to a Shawn Mendes concert with her, despite not knowing any of the songs. One of Gina's favorite things about Nico is his taste in movies and music, and she looks forward to hearing his recommendations. Nico is a student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy.
Rachel Maggi
Officiant, Friend of the Groom and Bride
Rachel met Gina in their freshman year of college during their rhetoric class. The friendship was cemented by weekly hangouts to watch Teen Wolf in Rachel's dorm room, and they became closer over the years as they were roommates for four years afterwards. Though Rachel and Gina became friends first, Rachel actually met Ben first -- in their honors seminar, right before freshman year began. Little did she know that Ben would one day be her roommate after he moved in with her and Gina.
