Wedding Party
Claire Swartz
Maid of Honor
Claire and I have been inseparable since we were five years old. We grew up going to the same middle school and high school and even cheered together from age five all the way to fourteen. Nearly twenty years later, she’s still my go-to person for laughter, advice, and every little thing in between. I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her standing next to me as my maid of honor.
Franco Covelli
Best Man
Franco and I met during our early elementary days when we would meet at his cousin's house and play football. It was not until high school when we started hanging out again after he slid in my DMs which eventually grew into a great friendship. Now we golf, hang out with the guys and make a lot of questionable jokes that Maria really loves. I am pumped to have him stand next to my side on the big day.
Samantha Anderson
Matron of Honor
Sam is my big sister and someone I’ve looked up to my whole life. She’s always been that cool, older sister I wanted to be just like. From borrowing her clothes (sometimes without asking) to looking to her for advice on pretty much everything, she’s always been one of my biggest role models. I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this day and every day.
Alec Kaufmann
Groomsman
Alec is my twin brother and my very first friend with him being just one minute older than I am. Of course we did everything together as a kid like playing legos, building forts both inside and outside, mostly doing all the same sports and annoying our older siblings. Now we still hang out with the same group of friends and are always doing something with the guys. I couldn't ask for a better twin brother.
Jenna Carlson
Bridesmaid
Jenna is Matthew’s older sister, but over the years she’s become like a big sister to me too. I’ve always looked up to her and admired the way she carries herself — and still somehow knows how to make everything fun. She’s always been someone I can laugh with, learn from, and look up to — and I’m so grateful she’s here to celebrate with us.
Thomas Coffey
Groomsman
Thomas and I have been friends since elementary school with us first getting introduced through my twin brother. Even though we went to different schools for a period of time we have always maintained a solid friendship and continue to do many things together. There is nobody I would rather have next to me in the infield.
Katherine Baronsky
Bridesmaid
Katherine is my sister-in-law, married to my big brother, and she instantly became part of the family. She has this effortless way of making everything more fun — whether it’s a simple family get-together or just an ordinary day. Her energy is contagious, her humor unmatched, and I love every memory we get to make together.
Ryan Baronsky
Groomsman
Ryan and I clicked right off the bat when we first met and will always share a love for almost every sport and of course fantasy football. We always find ourselves in long conversations about sports and I'm sure there will be many to come in the future. I am thankful to call Ryan my brother-in-law and I admire how supportive, yet tough loving, he is of Maria.
Alyssa Tostrud
Bridesmaid
Alyssa has been one of my best friends since middle school, and we’ve been through just about every phase of life together. From awkward school years to where we are now, she’s been a constant in my life — the person I can always laugh with, vent to, and count on. We still talk every single day, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her.
Joey Bobeck
Groomsman
Joey and I met at a very young age and he was one of my closest friends throughout elementary school all the way to this day. We have played many games together through CYC football/baseball, travel baseball, pick-up basketball and even mini baseball in his backyard. I am thankful to call Joey a friend and he will always be my go-to man when it comes to any piece of advice.
Kassie Nunley
Bridesmaid
Kassie and I met while working at a tanning salon, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. She’s unapologetically herself, always says exactly what she’s thinking, and somehow makes every moment ten times more fun. She’s one of those friends who just gets me — and I couldn’t imagine my life without her sarcasm and laughter by my side.
Brett Buzzelli
Groomsman
Brett and I first met in college and lived as roommates when he was a freshman and I was a sophomore. We clicked right away and from there spent three years living with each other and made a lot of awesome, unforgettable (maybe with some we probably forgot) and questionable memories. He was always my right hand man throughout college and I will forever be thankful for that.
Sofia Baronsky
Flower Girl
Sofia is my favorite two-year-old and truly the brightest little light. Every time I get to see my niece, it’s the best feeling in the world — she brings so much joy, laughter, and love wherever she goes. Watching her grow and getting to share moments together means everything to me, and I can’t wait to see her steal the show as our flower girl.
Liam Carlson
Ring Bearer
Liam is my nephew, born in October. Since joining our family, he has brought so much joy, laughter, and love into our lives. We love any chance we get to spend time with him and watch him grow. It means so much to us to have him included in such an important day.
Jake Lampe
Officiant
Jake and I met when we were kids through sports and have spent many hours at games, practices and nights in hotels with each other. We have always had many things in common and now share a love for movement as medicine. There is nobody I would rather entrust to unite and commemorate mine and Maria's special day.
