J.P & Kelsey
Wedding Party
Tasha
Matron of Honor
Kelsey and Tasha go all the way back to the middle school lunch table. They have traveled around the world, danced on stage, and learned many life lessons together. Their friendship has endured many things, including fights over boys, college in different states, and several bottles of wine.
Chase
Best Man
JP's best friend since freshmen year of college, Chase has been destined to be The Best Man at this wedding for over a decade now. With an unexpected but awesome shared passion for historically inaccurate war movies (300), overly violent video games (Gears) and random yet classic catchphrases (Dear Corn!), Chase and JP have shared many milestones together. From Chase's wedding to his wife Nicole, the birth of his son Owen, to JP's engagement and forthcoming nuptials...the two friends (along with Foxy) will share a lifetime of memories as best friends.
Sam
Matron of Honor
Roomates for all four years of college, Kelsey and Sam share countless memories. Late night study sessions, late night parties, and late night movie marathons sum up their college experience. Despite living a plane ride apart, the two have remained close and continue to make new memories each year.
Austin
Groomsman
The third and youngest member of the esteemed 6E1 dorm room, Austin fit into the friend group perfectly when JP met him sophomore year. Never one to say no to a party, the movies, endless video games, or fishing, Austin also turned JP into a tennis fiend for a few years. His constant beatdowns of JP led to the destruction of at least four tennis rackets but created countless stories of hilarious overreactions. The mutual friend who introduced JP and Kelsey, Austin is one of the best friends JP will ever have.
Elizabeth
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and Liz met when Kelsey was three years old and their parents introduced them. Kelsey and Liz have grown beyond sisters into true friends. They enjoy laughing at silly videos, watching TLC shows, and having game nights together.
Lindsey
Grooms-woman
Yes it's a Grooms-Woman. You are attending that kind of wedding. But Lindsey (known as Metz) has never been one to shy away from hanging with the guys. An avid football player, along with just about every other sport she gets invited to play, Metz also enjoys craft breweries, working out and Harry Potter trivia. A close friend of JP's since they met in college, they've shared many ups and downs together, but always been there for one another. Her feminine insight helped JP climb out of the friend zone with Kelsey and, for that, JP is eager to have her at his side on his wedding day.
Jennifer
Bridesmaid
Jennifer is Kelsey's baby sister, even though she is no longer a baby. Kelsey loves sharing new experiences with Jennifer including Jenn's first Steelers game and meeting Penatonix. Jennifer is also Kelsey’s unofficial photographer and Topher is her favorite model.
Matt
Groomsman
Matt is JP's older brother and consistent golfing companion. The two grew up sharing athletic interests (baseball and soccer), as well as a love of all Pittsburgh sports. Some of JP's fondest memories are watching their Dad lose his cool on the sidlines while Matt either played well or couldn't be bothered to listen to his coaches. As reliable a sibling as a brother can ask for, JP is eager to share a beer with Matt on his wedding day.
Danine
Bridesmaid
Danine was Kelsey's first friend when the family moved to Pittsburgh in 2000. They spent many slumber parties learning all of the choreography to every N*sync song and swimming at the pool. Finally, after nearly 15 years apart, Kelsey and Dani are living the same place again and their friendship has never waivered.
Bailey
Flower Girl
Bailey is Kelsey's princess of a cousin. She has perfected dress twirling, walking in heels, and eye shadow application. Who better to be a flower girl?
Topher
Best Dog of Honor
Topher is the couple's silly, chunky, loaf of a dog. He brings them so much joy, laughter, and comfort. They could not imagine their wedding day without him. Please introduce yourself and give him a pet as he makes his rounds at cocktail hour.
