Sarah Ann & Matthew
Wedding Party
Rachel Rimmele
Maid of Honor
Rachel and I met on move in day our Freshman year of college at West Chester University when we were assigned to dorm rooms right next to each other. Ever since then, we were inseparable. We could be found all over campus, in the same classes, at our radio show, and tell you many ghost stories from our time living together in a funeral home. Rachel has been there for me through all of my ups and downs. We've seen each other grow from those college girls to the successful women we are today. Ten years later we're still up to the same antics but now with a little less eyeshadow and lot more appreciation for the time we get to spend together. I'm so grateful to have her stand by my side as I get married, call her my best friend, and Maid of Honor. I couldn't think of anyone more deserving of the role.
Zac Sullivan
Best Man
Zac is my cousin on my Mom's side, and growing up we spent a lot of time together. Holidays were always spent together, weekend BBQs at the pool, ski trips, and celebrations as well. Following high school we would spend a lot of our time traveling around the northeast checking out some of the best breweries we could find in New York, Vermont, and Maine. I would take trips up to visit Zac in Vermont and he would come down to New York City and Connecticut. This celebration would not be complete without him at my side.
Erica Chang
Matron of Honor
Although Erica was Matt's friend first, she's become such a great friend of mine! She's the most down to earth, understanding, and big-hearted friend that I'm thrilled to have. She's always down for an impromptu pop-in, cook out, or nail appointment with me. I'm so happy to have Erica as my Matron of Honor to have her stand by me on our special day.
Tristan Chang
Groomsman
Tristan and I met at college through the professional business organization (Alpha Kappa Psi). We quickly got to know each other and spent many nights at the Rathskeller where he would DJ. We later reconnected in the NYC after he graduated and now we both live in Stamford where we spend most weekends (and some weekdays) at Sterling Farms Golf Course.
Hannah Jeffers
Bridesmaid
Hannah is my little sister and the most loving one at that. When I first brought Matt home to meet her and the rest of the family, she lit up when she learned he also liked Mario Brothers and the Avengers. Hannah has always been a loving, kind-hearted, and sweetest kid around. I'm so happy that I can have a sister like her to have her support with this next big chapter in my life.
Dan Anderson
Groomsman
Dan and I were neighbors for years but it took until we went to Arlington High School to get to know each other. We would regularly hop off the bus after school to play pickup basketball, soccer, football, or even sometimes ultimate frisbee on the lawn of the school in our neighborhood. We got close our senior year where every weekend seemed to be spent with friends playing video games in Dan's basement, or darts and ping pong in his garage.
Morgan Strzelczyk
Bridesmaid
Morgan is another wonderful Binghamton Alum that I've been blessed to call a friend of mine. Morgan is always a great friend to lend an ear, randomly call to tell her a funny thing that happened, plan a fun night out, and make a killer cocktail. When I first met Morgan, Matt and I had only been dating a couple months, and her first question was how Matt and I knew each other and what our relationship was. Needless to say we hadn't defined the relationship but Morgan helped push us in the right direction because that same day we made our relationship official. We owe you one Morg!
Konner Smith
Groomsman
Konner is another great friend I met up at Binghamton. We quickly became friends who could endlessly bounce topics off each other, whether that was chatting sports, news, business, or any number of things. We even tried to become roommates in the city on multiple occasions and when he finally moved to my neighborhood, I moved to Connecticut. He is also the commissioner of our long standing Fantasy Football league and we regularly chat back and forth about players and games during the season.
Corinne Lawrence
Bridesmaid
Corinne is my oldest friend from home that's been with me since the 3rd grade. You could say we were polar opposites growing up, but she's always made me laugh and introduced me to most of my favorite musicians, movies, and (sometimes questionable) fashion decisions. Corinne has been a huge part of my life and I wouldn't be where I am or who I am without her friendship for all these years. She's an extremely talented musician, super smart, supportive, and such a great friend to me. Corinne, myself, and our core group of friends growing up formed an amazing bond that will always be there. I am so happy to have had a friend this long and look forward to having us all reunite together for my wedding!
Justin Petragnani
Groomsman
Justin (Petro) and I used to live in the same building in Binghamton but also got to know each other through Alpha Kappa Psi and eventually ended up living together my senior year of college where we would spend late nights after the bars up talking over beers until the early morning.
Natalia Gallagher
Bridesmaid
There isn't any better way to describe Natalia besides saying she's my soul sister. From the moment we met we were fast friends and had such an easy connection. She's such an empathetic, kind hearted, and beautiful person. Every time we see each other it's like seeing an old friend and no time has gone by. I am so happy to have a great friend in Natalia and am so thankful that I was able to meet her through Ryan and the rest of the group.
Ryan Gallagher
Groomsman
Ryan (Geegs) is the last Binghamton University alum in this group. I should probably mention that I saved his life by bringing him to the hospital when he had appendicitis in college but we have stayed close for the years following and grew even closer after graduation. We would hang out in the city and chat about our shared love of craft beers, bourbon, music, and golf.
Grace Jacobs
Bridesmaid
Grace is my future sister-in-law and it means the world to me that she can be a part of our day, especially because she was such a major part of our engagement! Matt planned for Grace to follow us to the Louvre to capture our engagement with her camera. When Matt proposed I was so surprised and excited, but then all of a sudden I saw a familiar face in the crowd of tourists and I started crying from being so surprised. It was such a beautiful engagement and I'm so grateful to Grace that she could be there.
Alex Ortiz
Groomsman
Alex (Tito) is my oldest friend in the group dating all the way back to grade school where we would always be at each other's birthday parties. Another member of the neighborhood, him and I would spend hours after school playing sports or heading back to his place to play some video games. We would spend almost every weekend at Dan's house sleeping over in the basement while coming up with plans on who we can recruit to play basketball or football the next day. Every year on Christmas Eve our families get together at his house and celebrate the holiday.
Megan Gaughan
Bridesmaid
Megan is such a supportive and loving friend who also happens to be my cousin. We've grown up with our crazy Irish-Italian family and stayed close throughout our lives. During every Christmas party, barbecue, and family gathering, we've always had each other to relate to and laugh with. Megan is the easiest person to get along with, she has the best humor, and she's so much fun. Now that we're older, I'm so happy that we still are a part of each other's lives and that she gets to be part of this next step with me.
Morgan Kille
Officiant
Morgan is our first friend as a couple. She was Sarah's roommate in New York City and when we first started dating she would hang out with us at Sarah's apartment. Morgan has always been such a positive and funny person to be around. She has seen us grow into the couple we are today from the very beginning and supported us from day one, literally. We are so thankful for her to marry us and be a part of this journey with us.
