Timo & Margaret
Wedding Party
Grace Prunty
Maid of Honor
Where to start with Grace? Marg and Grace have been through a lot, and have always had each other to turn to; for 22 years, Marg has had her OG soulmate by her side. Equal parts funny and fun, "Sissy" has pulled Margaret to the ground by the hair and picked her up off the ground when pineapple vodka hit too hard. She has recently been released into the world to enrich the minds of children, and Margaret can attest from a life's worth of experience that there is nobody better equipped to do so.
Keegan Jiles
Best Man
Keegbro and Timo go back to 2006, where they sat the bench together through most of high school soccer. They played sports together, would roll into school together blasting the Spice Girls in Timo's minivan, and they hung out often. Timo let his best friend from high school drift away throughout college, but when they both ended up with jobs in Indianapolis, they picked their friendship right back up where they left off. To this day you can find them prowling the bars on a Saturday night, doing everything from whipping and dabbing like children to talking about their life and career plans.
Danielle Strayer
Bridesmaid
Danielle and Marg met in eighth grade on a field trip to Six Flags. Since then, they have managed not to get kicked off the same sports teams, not to get kicked out of the same college, didn't get picked up by the Free Cannoli truck in Europe, and convinced two men to marry them. In fact, were it not for Danielle, Margaret never would have un-ghosted Timo and they probably wouldn't be getting married. Although living in different states now, Danielle and Margaret remain close and have always been able to pick their friendship up where they left it off.
Daniel Ward
Groomsman
Daniel and Timo go back to middle school. It would be an interesting comparison to see who has spent more hours actually in Timo's line of sight over his life between Daniel and Maggie. Being fellow swimmers in club and high school, as well as college neighbors and roommates have set Timo and Daniel up to be the sort of friends that no matter how far away they live, and how little they talk, they will always be able to reach out to each other when a beer or coffee needs to be bought and a important discussion needs to be had.
Val Liserdo
Bridesmaid
Margaret and Val became friends during undergrad and strengthened their friendship when they became housemates senior year of college. Though you could catch them together from Margarita Mondays to Thirsty Thursday, their friendship extended beyond binge drinking. Always making plans to do something new, you can always find Val waving you into a photo (like at a random pet show) or planning the most elaborate Halloween party in Valpo.
Sammy Loescher
Groomsman
No matter how many people in his life call him Sam, he will always be little Sammy in Timo's eyes. Regardless of if he is better at swimming or video games, if he got engaged first, if he is taller and stronger, or if he is a doctor. To Timo, it doesnt matter. The short-tempered little brother that Timo grew up with and now regularly play video games with has grown into a mustached manchild that Timo is proud of and proud to have stand by his side in his wedding.
Erin Evers
Bridesmaid
Erin has had Margaret cracking up since meeting her sophomore year of college. They had some business classes together, went to farmers markets on Saturday mornings, and only Erin was willing to stay in and do face masks when other friends were on Valentine's Day dates with (ew!) boys. Erin also got Margaret hooked on The Office, for which she is eternally grateful. The friendship is now long distance, but they remain close despite (or perhaps because of) Erin's outlandish SnapChats.
Tyler Navarro
Groomsman
Timo met Tyler at Purdue in the Engineering Honors Community. Throughout college, the two were neighbors, roommates, Battlefield and Call of Duty squadmates, study buddies, NERF war enemies, and family. There is nobody that Timo would rather talk politics, current events, weaponry, photography, or probably just about anything technical with. Tyler will be coming in from Hawaii where (in typical island fashion) he sleeps most of the day and inspires jealousy among his friends with his drone photos of Kauai.
Emily Paganelli
Bridesmaid
Although Margaret is "not engaged to HER," Emily is truly a part of Timo, Margaret, and Cooper's family. Margaret met Emily originally on their first day at work when they sat together - alone - on their first day of orientation. A year and a half later, they've moved in together and now share memories that you don't have with "just a co-worker." Only Emily truly knows and understands what happens to the wedding diet when "Friday Marge" "flies to close to the sun on wings of pepperoni", and Marg is happy to keep it that way.
Caleb Gove
Groomsman
Caleb and Timo hit it off the first day they met. Caleb was interviewing Timo, and after about 30 minutes it was clear that we weren't going to talk about much job related. We discussed TV shows, movies, books, blogs, and Purdue. After Timo's interview went an hour long, he knew that he wanted to work for this guy. Caleb has mentored Timo both in his career and outside of it, helping him grow into a leadership role at his job. He was also one of the first people Timo talked to about proposing to Maggie. Always good for a laugh, Caleb is a great friend and a respected colleague.
Rebecca Pilipchuck
Bridesmaid
Rebecca and Margaret have been family friends and neighbors for years. From walks home from school to goofing around during summer breaks, both the Prunty family and the Pilipchuck family have grown very close. Beyond that, Rebecca was Margaret's late sister, Lucy's, best friend. Although Margaret longs for her sister to be a part of the big day, she feels very lucky to have a piece of her through Rebecca; Margaret has always seen Rebecca as family.
Cooper
Groomsdog
Timo has had Cooper since 2012. As any dog owner can imagine, Cooper is more than just a pet. She is family and she is incredibly excited to be officially getting a mom (you can tell by how much her butt wiggles whenever she sees Maggie)! Unfortunately, because our ceremony is in a church and our reception will be outside (without fences), Cooper is going to have to miss most of the fun. However, she will absolutely be around the morning of as Timo and Margaret are getting ready.
