Wedding Party
Carly Neal
Maid of Honor
My sister, best friend, biggest fan, and who I would spend the rest of my life with if not for Kyle! She’s my shorter, sassier twin. We’re almost always talking about Bravo, our favorite podcasts, or obsessing over our brother, Matt.
Ben Pflum
Best Man
Ben and I went to high school where we had homeroom together as freshmen, sang in choir together, and went to the State Semis in Volleyball together. We continued our friendship by going to college together, joining the same frat, being roommates, and then starting a band post-college with Ben as the Drummer and me as the Lead Singer (RIP Common Courtesy). Ben will one day be reincarnated as his spirit animal, a Golden Retriever.
Alexis Solarana
Bridesmaid
If you’ve ever dreamed of meeting Kourtney Kardashian, introduce yourself to Alexis at the wedding. Alexis and I met through Weston Warriors cheerleading and rekindled our friendship in high school at STA. Her and Carly are tied for sassiest in the wedding party.
Cody Charni
Groomsman
Cody and I met at UCF while working at the Student Union where we could both tell you horror stories about our old coworkers. We quickly became friends on an overnight shift at the All Knight Study (2 am – 7 am) and ended up renting a house together for our final year (where we also have horror stories). Cody is the jack of all trades and has bounced from one career to another, at one point wanting to be a lawyer, but he always manages to find where he fits best and then proceeds to be better than all his coworkers.
Allie Zampell
Bridesmaid
My college roomie, life of the party, and 3rd Neal sister! Allie and I were inseparable throughout college and constantly mistaken for each other. We lived together in college and even got the same jobs after and moved to Sarasota together. Allie’s now a dog mom to Peaches and lives in Tampa so we’re sadly long distance besties.
Jordan Schroeder
Groomsman
Jordan is the 2nd of the 4 Schroeder children (shoutout Alan and Leslie!) and is the finance and tech bro of the family as he worked for Robinhood in Denver, CO and now works for Apple in Raleigh, NC. Also the weirdest of the family, Jordan is a Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Braves, and Toronto Raptors fan that is climbing the ranks of the pickleball courts in Raleigh.
Amanda Jones
Bridesmaid
Amanda has been my bestie for almost 15 years now since we met at STA. She’s sunshine in human form and has been my go-to for all my bridal outfits. Amanda is definitely most likely to cry in the wedding party. She lives in California with her frenchie, Beau.
Kyle Porter
Groomsman
Kyle and I have had tons of mutual friends since high school, but never fully met and became friends until UCF where we played and won an IM Volleyball Championship together, despite KP's broken collarbone. A diehard Knights, Dolphins, and Murphy (his dog) fan, you will always find him posting about one of the three on his IG. Like me, Kyle likes to live in the moment, so we never take pictures together. Thankfully, I was able to find the one picture we took together while working in the yard!
Anna Ferraris
Bridesmaid
I met Anna at STA and we’ve been best friends for almost 15 years now. Anna's one of the most effortless funny people I know. You can tell if Anna is having a good time when her air guitar and rock sign come out which I'm sure will make an appearance at the wedding. Fun fact: I forced her to go to one of Matt’s volleyball games with me to meet Kyle and she was there the first time we met!
Matthew Zorn
Groomsman
Matt is the younger brother of the bride and the best-looking of the family. I have actually known Matt longer than I have known Hannah and it could be said that he is the reason this wedding is happening, but Carly would beg to differ. I coached Matt in volleyball at STA when he was a freshman in high school and shot my shot after one of the games that Hannah came to. Thankfully Matt was always cool about his coach dating his sister (at least on the outside).
Alyssa Schroeder
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is Kyle’s sister, the youngest of the 4 Schroeders, who is 10x cooler than I’ll ever be. I’m so happy to gain another sister!
Nick Rusk
Groomsman
Nick and I have been friends since high school and he was the captain of our volleyball team that went to the state tourney. Nick's energy, knowledge, and passion for all things in his life made me gravitate toward him from the start. You'd never guess it by looking at him, but Nick is a college athlete that played and captained Volleyball at Emerson College because he could probably jump over you. Being born in England and having done stand-up comedy, Nick is a very eccentric person that will kill you with kindness but has way better teeth than the Brits do.
Cristina Barreto
Bridesmaid
The prettiest engineer you’ll ever meet! Cristina and I have known each other since we were 8 years old and she’s basically a sister to me. We met through Weston Warriors cheerleading and have been besties ever since. Her and her fiancé Chris got engaged weeks before Kyle and I are also getting married in 2024!
Trevor Jowell
Groomsman
Trevor is the husband of Hannah's bridesmaid Samantha and one of the most outgoing and nicest people you'll meet (noticing a pattern with my friends?). We met not too far out from his own wedding and quickly grew a huge bromance over our love of rock music, beer, and Tom Brady. Unfortunately, he and Sam live in Tampa so best doggo friends Bam (ours) and Ranger (theirs) must maintain their long-distance pup-friendship by sending memes over Instagram.
Samantha Jowell
Bridesmaid
The sweetest angel and world’s greatest friend. I met Sam at UCF during recruitment week. We both rushed KD and have been besties ever since. Kyle instantly became besties with her husband Trevor who is also one of his groomsmen. Bam is also obsessed with their dog, Ranger, so it’s always a family affair.
Zack Schroeder
Groomsman
Zack is the oldest of the Schroeder children (always going to take the chance to shout out Leslie and Alan!) and is the knower of all the random facts you never thought you needed to know. Growing up, I watched Zack, and Jordan, excel in every activity they did, which instilled an overly competitive nature that is definitely both a curse and a blessing because I hate being bad at anything! Thankfully, I'm better than Zack and Jordan at most things.
Bam
Our Son
The light of our lives. The menace of our house.
