Jack & Carly
Wedding Party
Molly Betts
Maid of Honor
Molly and Carly have been best friends since the denim fringe vest wearing days of 5th grade. Some little known secrets about Molly include she is a recovering Bath and Body Works candle addict (..."recovered"...), a Top Chef quality chef, and has been known to put on a killer Celine Dion performance at weddings (everyone, you are in for a treat). Molly's corgi, Pip, is also BFFs with Jack and Carly's dog, Freya. *cue The Fox and the Hound theme song*
Kaitlin Iulo
Maid of Honor
Kaitlin, also affectionately known as Dr. Squid, is sister of the bride and The ORIGINAL Dr. Iulo. Kaitlin is certified in veterinary acupuncture and is currently working towards becoming certified in veterinary chiropractic. Also featured in her picture for your viewing pleasure is Kaitlin's kitty, Mrs. Pancakes, who was caught at a gas station using....you guessed it...pancakes!
Alysha McGrath
Bridesmaid
Alysha aka Little Debbie or Lil Lysh, is Carly's veterinary school roommate/best friend, fellow iced coffee and cat enthusiast, and future veterinary surgeon (aka Wonder Woman). Alysha is currently completing a small animal surgical internship and will be heading to Ohio State next where she will be continuing her adventure towards becoming a surgeon. Alysha loves surgery *almost* as much as she loves Taylor Swift and Barberitos.
Lily Greener
Bridesmaid
Lily was Carly's veterinary school roommate (232 forever) and best friend for 4 years. Carly and Lily's friendship FIRST started with a love for cookies and a hatred for sneaky networking opportunities. After meeting each other at the new student open house day, they immediately knew they wanted to live together and spent the best 4 years together. During their time living together, Carly became very good at killing spiders, modifying recipes to make them vegetarian, and learning how to use a door bar on the front door (SAFETY FIRST). Fun fact - Lily is a theater minor who has the voice of an angel and could have been on Broadway (you heard it here first, folks).
Kaycee Cash
Bridesmaid
Dr. Kaycee Cash aka Jubilee Wang is Carly's veterinary school best friend and Georgia Bulldawg enthusiast (SIC 'EM). Kaycee and Carly spent a lot of time "studying" together, which mostly consisted of watching college football and laughing too hard over things they should have spent more time learning (like Pizzle Rot and soft ticks). Kaycee currently practices in Texas and lives with Carly's favorite crooked face boxer nugget niece, Bella.
Madison Bednar
Bridesmaid
Maddi "no prisoners" Bednar is Carly's first Hilton Head friend and has always held a very special place in Carly's heart. When they were younger, Maddi and Carly got in many arguments about what state was better - Carly's home state of NJ or Maddi's home state of SC. Jokes on Maddi now though because she's been living in the beautiful Garden State for the past few years with her husband, Parker. Also for the record - Coke is better than Diet Coke. Bring in the dancin' lobsters!
Alex Brooks
Bridesmaid
Alex is Carly's childhood soccer BFF. Fun fact: she once single handedly caused her Division 1 college soccer team to lose a conference game by convincing everyone to eat cupcakes before a game..tsk tsk. Alex currently lives in Oregon with her husband, kitty cat Noah, and is about to be a new dog mom! (and yes, for anyone who remembers Alex as the girl who was terrified of cats and dogs, she now not only has one animal, but two!)
Rachel Sorensen
Bridesmaid
Carly and Rachel (aka Woomz) have been friends since Clemson where they lived together for 2 years and had probably too much fun wreaking havoc on Downtown Clemson. Rachel is currently a pediatric ICU nurse, but back in Clemson she had an even more important job - being the Easter Bunny.
Genna Opatut
Bridesmaid
Genna and Carly met while playing club soccer at Clemson. On the first date of tryouts, Carly found out that Genna was a fellow New Jersey native and their friendship blossomed from there! Over the next 2 years, Carly and Genna spent (A LOT) of time eating too much food in the dining halls and rescuing Genna's dog Tate from soccer nets at practice. Genna currently lives in DC with her perfect pup who she rescued from overseas.
Annie Tillman
Bridesmaid
Annie and Carly have known each other for (too many) years to remember, with one of their earliest memories including almost bringing Annie to tears playing Lego Indiana Jones on the original Playstation (can't show mercy, even to a 10 year old). Annie is a teacher by trade, sister of the groom, and (almost) as big a fan of The Office as her older brother.
Reed Steinbauer
Best Man
Reed and Jack met in California in 2015, when they both began working in the medical device sales industry. While Jack left sales for PA school (and student loan debt), Reed has flourished in the absence of the superior salesman. An avid outdoorsman, former bush league hockey player (a real "duster"), and Jack's most trusted companion, Reed's friendship is outclassed only by his flowing locks.
Robbie Iulo
Groomsman
Brother of the bride and Charleston's newest dentist, "Fob" has been in Jack's life long enough to be ridiculed for the one time Jack beat him 1 on 1 in basketball. A college track star at Lehigh, Robbie now runs only to escape the problems of his New York Giants.
Nick Petrus
Groomsman
Known as "Peaches" by his military buddies, the nickname carried into PA school, where Nick and Jack became weekend (and early morning test day) study partners. Not long afterward, the Bro Row appropriately upgraded his title to "Papa Peaches," as Nick and his wife Carrie are currently expecting daughter number two, a truly terrifying thought for those who know Nick.
Matt Hrvatin
Groomsman
Matt and Jack were roommates in PA school, only until Matt's sneaker collection grew until the point of requiring a second bedroom. Half of the affectionately nicknamed "Bro Row" by PA school classmates, Jack and Matt survived a month-long women's health rotation in the sketchiest part of West Palm Beach, spending more time golfing and avoiding locals than actually studying.
Ryan Riordan
Groomsman
The most interesting man in the wedding party and the colloquial Mayor of Charleston, Ryan fills out another 1/4 of the Bro Row from PA school. Never met a joke he didn't like, Ryan is great audience for wannabe funny guys (looking at you Hrvatin), as well as the officially unofficial "Mr. MUSC." When he's not surfing (when he should be taking exams), you can find him currently completing an Emergency Medicine postgraduate PA fellowship at Yale University.
Brandon Traver
Groomsman
Living in all the luxury that Clemson had to offer freshman students (RIP Johnstone), Jack and Brandon somehow survived the first of four years of college. A mechanical engineer, Brandon rose quickly through the ranks of the appropriately named family company Traver IDC (he'll tell you it stands for Industrial Drives and Controls, but everyone knows it's really I Don't Care). Brandon also serves as Jack's unofficial swing coach, and shares a large portion of the blame for his golfing addiction.
Tim O'Neil
Groomsman
Jack's sophomore year roommate and the absolute last person you would ever expect to graduate a math and economics double major with a 4.0 GPA, Tim went on to bigger and better things in the Peace Corps after somehow parting with his beloved corporate job at Kroger. Entertaining all with his stories from his two years in a remote village in Peru, Tim's silky mane is only the beginning of his eccentricity (ask him who he thinks could eat the most soap).
Tad Schrader
Groomsman
Two years ahead of Jack in PA school and two years behind in everything else, Tad was roommates with Jack and Matt during their first year at MUSC. More importantly, with Tad came Bo, the first dog Jack ever got to live with (RIP buddy). An orthopedic PA living with his new bride (also an ortho PA) out in Colorado, Tad serves an essential role as snowboarding partner and golfing adversary.
Michael Donahue
Groomsman
With Icy good looks and a Naturally easy going demeanor, Mike and Jack met in Charleston through mutual friends. While he's been reminded that his place in the wedding party can be revoked if he continues to embarrass Jack on the golf course, he makes up for it by losing admirably on Xbox. An athletic trainer by trade, Mike recently accepted a job in the field of medical device sales (under Jack's much-desired tutelage).
