Wedding Party
Gabriel Gessler
Best Man
I met Gabe at a bar while I was interning in Washington D.C. through Jeremiah. He was very excited to meet me (not sure if this was an affect of the booze or not haha) asked for my number and said we'd hang out sometime. Later that week I got a text from him saying he prayed and felt we'd become really good friends if we hung out. I got that same sense, and as we got to talking he told me about spending a previous semester studying abroad in Austria. I saw a picture of him serving Mass at the Vatican and how I wished I could have that same experience. Gabe would help me apply for the program, offered me a $1000 scholarship our school was going to give to him, and kept in touch with me ever since that summer. He challenges me to grow spiritually and is currently discerning the priesthood.
Julian Gregorio
Groomsman
Julian and I met at a journalism conference the summer of my freshman year of college. We'd see each other in these circles and he'd end up asking me to room with him the summer I interned in Washington D.C. In between working out and his studies for law school, one of us would grab each other to sit down and read a chapter of the Bible every day. He's a great guy, and has a great family. His twin brother is Dominic. Julian's currently studying at the University of Notre Dame Law School.
Dominic Gregorio
Groomsman
Dominic didn't pose for this picture. It's just pure Dominic haha. I met him at the same conference I met his twin brother Julian, and the two of these knuckleheads know how to have a good time. Julian and I would visit him in Philadelphia the summer of my Junior year, we'd see each other at journalism conferences and they'd come to visit me while I was working in New York. Dominic is a goofball, but a deeply holy person. His family somewhat jokingly referred to him as Father Dominic growing up, but he is currently studying to become a medical doctor.
Jeremiah Poff
Groomsman
Jeremiah is a man of strong opinions and takes his faith very seriously. We got to know each other while he wrote for one of the student publications I ran in college, and continued to support one another in our journalism careers and faith. I've learned a lot from our debates, and his perceptiveness for political issues is an excellent source for consulting. Though our friendship I met my Best Man, Gabe. Today Jeremiah's graduated from Franciscan University of Steubenville and works in Washington D.C.
