Jackie & Tim
Wedding Party
Sandy Ghai
Maid of Honor
A love of dance (Harvard Crimson Dance Team), math (apparently I have a thing for Applied Math majors) and sisterhood (my KAO little!) brought me and My Brilliant Friend Sandy together at Harvard. After college we shared yet another love, life in NYC, where we wined and dined our way around the the W-illage.
Scott Fritz
Best Couple
College football teammate and later roommates, Scott and I spent many years exploring Chicago (mostly Irish Eyes) and beyond together. I also set Fritz up with his eventual wife, Liz, multiple times, including on a trip to India that I third-wheeled for two weeks.
Anneliese Ruggerri
Bridesmaid
They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendship never goes out of style. From Sex & The City nights to yoga classes, roommate time together was awesome, especially our combo of healthy activities (Bikram, Kadampa, and my 1st half-marathon to name a few) and wine nights at the apt.
Liz Paisner
Best Couple
Liz and I spent our college years together engaging in various shenanigans and cheering on Harvard Crimson football (she was a cheerleader, I was a benchwarmer). I also set Liz up with her eventual husband, Fritz, multiple times, the last time at Harvard Yale 2015.
Christie O'Hara
Bridesmaid
My Fianc-sis! It's so wonderful to gain such an awesome sister as a package deal of marrying Tim. I can't wait for all the experiences we'll share over the years to come. The bar is set high considering we've already tackled at home brewing (and exploding), sourdough bread (and pizza) making and paddle boarding (with pups)!
Alistaire Pickles
Groomsman
Alistaire was the crazy Australian in business school, and we became close friends as section mates and dorm neighbors. We have traveled the world together, tried to learn how to wakeboard, and introduced Pickles to great American traditions, like the Harvard Yale football game.
Hanny Rivera
Bridesmaid
My fellow traveler; give me some fin. From newbies joining Crimson Dance Team together, to our summer in Italy and all the scuba diving and backpacking around Australia, NZ and Fiji, we've explored a lot of the world together. Best of all, there was always a healthy dose of silliness and dancing wherever we went.
Gabby Malatesta
Groomswoman
Gabby was a partner in crime at Mather House, bonding over our shared interest in happy hours and summer patios. She has absorbed all my business school friends, and we trade trips visiting each other, despite my documented dislike of everything New York.
Jessie Jiang
Bridesmaid
My big! Jessie set the stage for our Theta lineage to hold the seat of Theta Finance Chair and generally kept me from getting into too much trouble in college. From our Harvard hang outs to our NYC, Boston, and FL weekend togethers over the years, you inspire with your fierce determination in both career and family. TLAM.
John Banks
Groomsman
John was a colleague at Oliver Wyman, and we became close friends during company soccer, basketball, and happy hours. We share both a drive for successful careers and a competitive spirit in ambidextrous sports. We plan on playing more golf now that we're getting older and can afford it.
Lexi Goss
Bridesmaid
Wow, we've been friends for 20 years! You've taught me so much since 6th grade, from finding faith and navigating teenage love (remember that time outside of gym class), to keeping in touch and being there even when miles apart. You just can't replicate the bond of growing up together; you are my Unique Boutique.
Marquis McGuffin
Groomsman
Marquis was unlucky enough to sit next to me in business school, and we became close friends as section mates and dorm neighbors. We have roamed the streets of Allston, toured breweries, and raced down the streets of New York together (ask Marquis about the scar on his shoulder).
Rebecca Vodehnal
Bridesmaid
Rebecca, our building wouldn't feel like home without you. Tim, Sky and I, and especially Sadie, always look forward to our weekly dinners. I really lucked out having such a kind, talented and interesting friend share the same front door. You're more than the best neighbor; you're our Chicago family.
Scott Dimond
Groomsman
Scott is a colleague at Oliver Wyman and we quickly became friends outside the office. He taught me how to DIY when rebuilding my roof deck (ask him about the first time I used a drill). We spend the weekends jamming on Rock Band with Jackie and Kelly among other shenanigans.
Marla Weiss
Officiant
A long-time family friend, Marla began as my 4th grade math teacher. Over the years she has guided me and shared her wisdom - from mathematics to her latest publications and most recently, wedding planning! I am inspired by all her talents and love our catch up calls and brunches!
Jayson Stewart
Ceremony Reader
Jayson has been a stalwart friend since high school, and although he rarely let me win at Madden, we grew up together teenagers. He taught me how to order at a Sonic drive-through and its been history ever since. Jayson, Max, and I spent countless nights at cardinals games, rams games, watching the Super Bowl, and playing Madden.
Sadie & Sky
Flower Girl
Our fur babies! These silly pups keep us busy playing fetch at the park (one of Tim's favorite things), going for long walks (one of Jackie's favorite things) and enjoying our rooftop (all of our favorite thing). Since they pretty much go everywhere with us, our ceremony wouldn't be complete without them!
Max Riley
Ceremony Reader
Max was one of my first friends in St. Louis when we moved third grade. He has been a consistent best friend for 20 years, and made the new city feel like home! Max, Jayson, and I spent countless nights at cardinals games, rams games, watching Super Bowls, and playing Madden.
