Kaitlyn & Gregory
Meet Our Tribe
Madelyn Crist
Maid of Honor
Maddy and Kait met when they were just three years old at the local playground while Maddy's brothers were playing a baseball game. They have grown-up through all the phases of their life together - from scheming on ways to acquire gum from Maddy's dads stash to plug the holes in Maddy's leaky sandbox to just hanging out to take naps together. She is Kait's longest and closest friend. At this point in their lives they are practically sisters and are often confused as such while out in public together.
Brett Warner
Best Man
Brett is Greg’s Best Man and best friend of over 20 years. They met in the Cub Scouts in the first grade and have since gone on countless outdoors trips from camping, to skiing, to a week-long canoe trip in the Adirondacks. When he’s not outdoors, Brett likes to spend his free time getting whooped by Greg in Super Smash Bros. Expect some zany dance moves on the dance floor all night long.
Sarah Zost
Bridesmaid
Sarah is Greg’s older sister and confidante. From discussing the minutiae of being an adult to venting or seeking advice, Sarah and Greg have always been able to rely on each other to lend the other an open ear. Sarah loves knitting, reading, her dog Barley, and is in pursuit of taking over the family business. Sarah’s one of the friendliest people you’ll see at the wedding, so make sure you check in with her!
Casey Koutris
Groomsman
Casey is Kaitlyn's younger brother and only sibling. They grew up together and have a lot of similar interests. You can often find them both out and about eating at various restaurants (especially sushi, hibachi, and anything & everything to do with noodles). They also enjoy playing video games of all types, especially retro video games (hello Nintendo 64). They also help keep important family traditions alive - for example before every holiday meal it is a challenge to see who gets caught first by mom eating the pickles and olives off the coveted relish tray.
Andrea Hennon
Bridesmaid
Andi and Kait first met back in middle school after Andi moved into the school district. They played the alto saxophone together in band for many years. However, it wasn't until Sophomore year in high school in their World History Class that their friendship really took off over an essay they co-authored (which led to Andi giving Kait the occasional snowboarding lesson). By the end of their senior year they had both decided to attend West Chester University to pursue their undergraduate degrees. So it was only natural that they become roommates to start this new journey together. The rest as they say is history. Today Andi is one of Kait's closet friends as they share a great deal of similar interests and have had many good laughs and memories together over the years.
Dylan Lott
Groomsman
Dylan is Greg’s younger brother and also best friend of over two decades. With 5 years between them, they shared their differences growing up, but have ultimately grown closer and closer every year. They can read each other’s minds and laugh at jokes that neither said out loud, but both understood. You’ll be able to find Dylan scavenging for seconds and thirds all night.
Kristi Davis Lynch
Bridesmaid
Kristi and Kait first met and became friends in Mrs. Smith's third grade class. During their childhood they also frequently had dance classes together, played on the same soccer teams, and both played the alto saxophone in concert band. As they grew older they continued to have similar interests in their academic pursuits and in their leisure activities. Today Kristi and Kait are both very big fans of anything related to the beach, good food, traveling, and mojitos - but especially mojitos.
Luke Noerpel
Groomsman
Luke is Greg’s investing partner, business partner, lifting buddy, and of course friend of many years. He’s dragged Greg through more workouts than he cares to admit, but the favor is frequently returned. Luke is a super motivated guy who’s always down for a new project or idea to scheme about. If you see him, make sure you ask him about his cars!
Elizabeth Dellaquila Kreiser
Bridesmaid
Liz and Kait met their first semester at West Chester University. During the second week of classes Kait's lab partner dropped the course. Kait was partnered up with her two other table-mates, one of which was Liz! Liz was also coincidentally the curly blonde haired girl that played the banjo in their Music History Class (LOL). But, it wasn't until halfway through their first semester when they became friends. Initially they bonded over the Legend of Zelda during lab. This led to many shared hours of playing video games, grabbing food in and around campus, becoming roommates (#189Forever), watching Yankees Games, and now Liz is one of Kait's closest friends!
Kyle Pancher
Groomsman
Kyle and Greg have known each other since first grade, and started becoming really good friends in High School and beyond. Kyle, another outdoorsman in the group, is always game to go hunting, camping, or backpacking, all you have to do is ask. If you’d rather just spend an evening hanging with him, he’ll more than likely treat you to a steak he masterfully grilled, or bacon he spent a week delicately curing and smoking. Kyle’s outgoing and can strike a conversation with anyone, swing by during the wedding and say hi!
Sara Luvison
Bridesmaid
Sara and Kait met during their second year at West Chester University one evening while playing a pick-up soccer game at the campus rec center. They were fast friends and played on the same co-ed IM team every semester until graduation (shout-out to P & Dat Pass). You could also notoriously find Sara and Kait around town on the weekends enjoying downtown West Chester's night life. Sara loves the outdoors, Beyoncé, and a good cranberry vodka!
Michael Camus
Groomsman
Greg and Mike go back as far as elementary school, and their friendship really started to develop in High School. Mike was always Greg’s go-to when discussing musical taste, on account of being the only two metal-heads in the group. They may or may not have permanently damaged their hearing together during improv jam sessions and heavy lifts. Mike will cheers to just about anything, so if you need a partner to take a drink with, make sure you find him!
Janel Barner
Bridesmaid
Nellie and Kait met during their time at West Chester University through their mutual friend, Liz! Nellie was a frequent visitor at their college apartment during their third year at WCU and basically was their unoffical 5th roommate (throwback to that time we binged watched a whole season of Scandal while studying for finals). Nellie officially moved into the Downingtown Apartment the summer before their last year of undergrad. During this time Nellie and Kait both became closer and bonded over their love of sweets together (Did someone say Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes?!).
Mitchel Zost
Groomsman
Mitch is Greg’s brother-in-law. Mitch is a hunter, cook, and head brewer at a brewery in Hanover, PA. Greg and Mitch like to bond over delicious food, particularly meat, smoked meats, and hunting. Mitch was even generous enough to take Greg turkey hunting, and kept all comments to himself when an opportunity presented itself and was gone before Greg could get a shot. Just like his wife, Sarah, Mitch is super friendly and always loves a conversation about beer, cooking, and hunting.
