Mary Bulford

Matron of Honor

Mary is my sister and someone I have always looked up to as a role model. I am blessed to have sisters that also double as my best friends. Mary has always been my biggest supporter and there for me no matter what. I grew up glued to Mary's side when I was younger and as we've gotten older we have become so close!

Elizabeth Dobbins

Matron of Honor

Boots is one of my sisters and best friends. She is the first person I call when I am happy, sad, need advice, or just need a listening ear. She is someone I look up to very much and I am so thankful to have her by my side. Boots is loyal and protective and has my back 100% of the time. She's also the life of the party so get ready to see her on the dance floor!

Maggie Kitzmiller

Matron of Honor

Maggie has been my best friend since we were 5 years old. We grew up down the street from each other and grew up playing soccer together. We practically lived together during summers and spent all of our free time together. Maggie has been there through all of my highs and lows in life. She is the most supportive, kind, and selfless person.

Kelly King

Bridesmaid

Kelly and I met when I moved to Pittsburgh and we became instant BFFs. She is one of the most fun, kind, and caring humans I've ever met! She is the friend that I can go to with absolutely anything and she will be there to listen and help me through it. Kelly is incredibly loyal and someone who I know I can always trust.

Kathy Ennis

Kathy is one of my cousins who I grew up spending all of my free time with. We have become so close as we've become adults and I am so thankful for her friendship! Kathy is one of the most fun, hilarious, good times you will every meet. She cares so deeply about the people in her life and I'm thankful to be one of those people!

Sammi is one of my best friends from PT school. We all went through a hard 3 years of our life together which has made us so close. Sammi is so fun, kind, and cares about her people deeply. She is one of the most generous people I have ever met and is always there for me when I need someone to talk to.

Nichole DeJesu

Nichole is another best friend of mine from PT school! Nichole is also engaged currently and it has been so fun to experience this together and chat about all things wedding. Nichole loves her people very deeply and will always make sure everyone feels important and included, which is something I love so much about her!

Ellen Robinson

Bridesmaid

Ellen is another one of my besties from PT school. She has such a big heart and always strives to make everyone feel loved. She is one of those friends who you know will always be there for you and will never let you feel sad! Ellen will always put her own needs/wants to the side in order to be there for someone else.

Katey Lump

Katey is another bestie of mine from PT school! We went though the toughest of years of our lives together and it made us all so close. Katey is so fun and she celebrates her people with so much love! Katey is always there for her friends and makes sure everyone feels special and celebrated.

Bailey Stephenson

Best Man

Bailey is my younger brother and best friend. We have been very close through childhood, college, and our early professional lives. I’ve always admired Bailey’s work ethic and discipline and have enjoyed watching him blossom into his early professional career – the sky is the limit for him. Bailey has always been there for me through thick and thin without question and I am thrilled we now live in the same city and can spend more time together and with his girlfriend Kayla. We enjoy playing soccer together, talking sports, grabbing a few beers, and golfing together.

Logan Dilik

Groomsman

Logan and I met in 5th grade playing basketball, and quickly developed a close friendship throughout middle and high school. This friendship continued growing despite college and early professional lives taking us to different states. In the Summer of 2021, I had the honor of standing by Logan during his wedding to his wife Rachael. Logan is someone who always loves to have a good time and laugh, look for him on the dance floor!

Drew Schillinger

Groomsman

Drew and I met in middle school and became best friends through multiple classes together, working together, Las Cazuela and movie dates, and now working together as Physical Therapists at the Cleveland Clinic. Drew is a man who is incredibly caring and would do anything for his friends and family. I had the honor of standing by Drew when he married his wife Courtney in 2021 and just recently has had the opportunity to watch Drew grow into fatherhood with the recent birth of his beautiful baby girl Sloan!

Chris Pike

Groomsman

Chris and I met during undergraduate studies at Gannon University and then became very close during our time in graduate school for Physical Therapy at Gannon. Our friendship grew during countless hours studying and one or two trips to The Plymouth Tavern to blow off steam. Chris is always willing to take time to make others feel welcomed and have a good time!

Paul Vojtek

Groomsman

Paul and I met during our time in Physical Therapy school at Gannon University. As the president of the class, Paul was always very busy, but he always had time to stop share a few laughs. As we continued our time in the program, we became closer and closer during countless hours studying and trips to the golf course.

Billy Clark

Groomsman

Billy and I met during our time at Gannon University and quickly bonded over our love for golf and hop-based beverages. Our friendship continued while Billy was working and I was in grad school and we could enjoy “adulting.” Billy is always the life of the party and loves to show off his dance moves, so look for him out on the dance floor!

Matt Gawlik

Groomsman

Matt and I met during undergraduate at Gannon University and quickly bonded over our love for Cleveland sports (go Browns). We continued living together when we moved to Pittsburgh. During this time in enemy territory, Matt and I became close friends as we both pursued our early professional careers. If anyone has any thoughts about the upcoming Browns season, Matt would like to hear them.

Matt Astorino

Groomsman

Matt and I met during our time at Gannon University and became close friends during our time pursuing graduate degrees – Matt in education and me in Physical Therapy. Matt’s work took him to central Pennsylvania with his fiancé Jordan. Matt and I have continued our friendship through numerous trips together and remain close. Matt is known to “boot, scoot, boogie” on the dance floor, so look for him there!

Dave Diplacido

Groomsman

Dave and I met during my official soccer visit while in high school, but didn’t become close until my time in undergrad and graduate school at Gannon University. Dave was always the first person to say hi and make others feel welcomed. Being from Erie, Dave was always willing to bring his friends over for a home cooked meal and spend time away from college life. Dave is a great friend and a better man and I consider myself lucky to call him as such.

Tyler Johnson

Groomsman

Tyler and I became friends during our time taking classes together at Gannon University. As we progressed through graduate studies in Physical Therapy and Tyler in Chiropractics, we enjoyed many conversations about professional development and our respective practices. Tyler’s graduate school and professional life took him out to Portland yet even through distance and time zone differences we always make time for phone calls to catch up and spend time together whenever we can. Known for his dance moves, look for him in the middle of a dance circle.
