Wedding Party
Laura Silverman
Maid of Honor
My middle sister. We've been by each other's side, through thick and thin, our whole lives. Her laugh is infectious, and she is the most forgiving, thoughtful, driven person I know. She makes up for her small size with her big heart and larger-than-life personality. She brings her own sunshine with her, whereever she goes, no matter the circumstances, and she shines her positive spirit on those around her in the most beautiful way. We may be very different, but we have always had each other's backs. One thing that we always have in common is how much we love each other and our family. I can't imagine having anyone else be my maid of honor. We love you, Lu!
Erik Michon
Best Man
Erik and I met our senior year of high school. We sat at a lunch table that played back-to-back games of Euchre all year long and quickly became best friends. Erik is one of the most genuinely honest people I know. He is always there for people when they need him, but he doesn't shy away from challenging you and telling you what he really thinks. It's one of the reasons we get along so well. Erik is also kindhearted and one of the funniest people we know. His laugh is contagious and always lightens up the room. I am so excited to have him as my best man.
Kate Silverman
Bridesmaid
My youngest sister. Not only the best dresser in the family and super fun to shop with, but also the kindest, strongest, most down-to-Earth person I know. She never ceases to amaze me with her grit and grace. She is truly a natural born leader. I love her so much, and no matter how much she grows up, she'll always be a baby sister to Ian and I. Although we always tease her that she's a mix of Laura and I, in reality, she's her own unique person. She can light up an entire room with her humor, and she never fails to see the value in those around her. We love you, Kate!
Mihai Radulescu
Groomsman
Mihai and I met right after moving into college. We shared a few common interests: our love of games, our hatred of calculus, and our need to laugh and make bad jokes. In Markley (our freshman year dorm), we quickly became inseparable and almost every night included a game of chess on my trunk. We lived with each other every year after. We still play games together all the time. I will always miss living with Mihai and especially remember Mihai Friday dance days and his hilarious laugh. Allison and I miss you living nearby, but we are so excited to have you in our wedding.
Tessa Raber
Bridesmaid
Ian's little sister and one of Laura's long-time best friends, Tessa is intelligent, outgoing, very dedicated to her faith, and the best friend a girl could ask for. We have shared so many fun moments together over the years, and I really appreciate how she so easily welcomed me into her heart. I feel like we became especially close on our family trip to Zoetry, and I loved every minute of it. I feel very blessed to have another sister like her. We love you, Tessa!
Matt Ramin
Groomsman
My cousin. Not only is Matt one of the most hard-working people I know, but he is always there to help his family with anything, even when they don't ask. He is kind, thoughtful, and is always down to relax. I am so proud of everything he has accomplished and am excited to see where his hard work takes him. Really, he's like a brother to me. We are excited to have you as a part of our special day.
Megan DeMarois
Bridesmaid
Best friends since middle school, she's always been by my side. Although we got off to a rocky start, we quickly grew to be close friends. From sleepovers, to walking to Rite-Aid through the woods behind Megan's house, to Cedar Point trips and many up north adventures, to Halloween costumes, to watching Gossip Girl in her parent's basement, we grew up together. Even after moving to New York, Megan still hasn't been able to shake me. I truly believe one day we'll be the old ladies wreaking havoc together in the nursing home!
Jay Pinnamaneni
Groomsman
Jay is absolutely hilarious, and the best part is, he doesn't even realize when he says something funny. People always laugh before he realizes the irony of his statements. We lived together our junior and senior year of college, and he kept every day fun. He is always down to play games or hang out. Even though he can be shy around people he doesn't know, Jay can be the most fun person in the room when he wants to be. We are super excited to have him as part of our big day.
Izabela Kosiba
Bridesmaid
Roommates at college orientation, we have been inseparable ever since! We survived nursing school together with a combination of a few unproductive study sessions and many shopping trips, several sushi dinners, and countless binge-watched TV shows. I owe staying sane over the last four years to her. She has the biggest heart and is the best listener. I miss being housemates, but I feel blessed knowing we'll be life-long friends.
Danny Maertens
Groomsman
Danny and I met our freshman year of college, through Mihai, and lived together our senior year of college. One of the most positive, enthusiastic people I know, Danny always knows how to make people smile in bad situations (usually with a dirty joke) and is always there to support his friends. Whether it be job interview prep, cleaning help, or advice, Danny has always been there for me. His charisma and the fact that he knows every word to every Disney song ever written naturally make him super fun to have around. We are very much looking forward to having Danny in our wedding.
Madeline Wallace
Flower Girl
Daughter of Tom and Nicole Wallace, Maddie is three years old and enjoys playing with her Paw Patrol toys, decorating things with stickers, and spending time with her sisters. We are so excited she is helping make our day so special.
Lucy Tafelski
Flower Girl
Daughter of John and Naseem Tafelski, Lucy is four years old and enjoys orange ice cream, playing her guitar, and being a big sister to Bea. We are so excited she is helping make our day so special.
Oliver Beeb
