Jill & John
Wedding Party
Savannah McCabe
Co-Maid of Honor
Jill met Savannah on their first day of Sophomore year of highschool when they were assigned to the same homeroom teacher as both being two new kids from New York State. Their eyes locked and they both simultaneously decided to keep the bit going far past when Mr. Laskowski tried to stop them from talking. Their friendship truly solidified as they sang along to Beware the Dog at the top of their lungs and boogied down the halls. Through years of concerts and shenanigans, Jill and Sav still keep bits going that they can’t remember how they started. Sav is currently in grad school in DC, getting her doctorate in psychology.
Megan Grove
Co-Maid of Honor
Meg first met Jill at her birth when she was 6 years old. Jill started following her around and stealing her clothes shortly after. Jill attests that her good music tastes come from both Ryan and Megan’s playlists, listening on repeat in the old black minivan while they drove her to school. Jill has always looked up to Meg, and can always count on her through tough times, to be groovin' on the dance floor with her, or just curled up with a dirty chai and a good book. Megan is a lawyer living in Vermont with her husband Lewis, and recently closed on their new house!
Madison Ma
Bridesmaid
Jill and Madison met in San Diego, at a Qualcomm recent-grad event. They quickly bonded over their love of soccer, crafts, and all nerdy things, and have been close ever since. Aside from girls’ nights and trivia nights, they co-founded and co-captained The Cuties soccer team, and have since led them to not one but two Championship titles resulting in some pretty cool sweatbands that say ‘Champ.’ Madison is an engineer and lives in San Diego.
Natalie Casabonne
Bridesmaid
Jill met Natalie at a Bon Iver concert in 2019, and instantly bonded over their refined taste in music, specifically Bon Iver and Maggie Rogers. Natalie was a little confused as to why John and Jill got matching Bon/Iver t-shirts, since they were just really good friends. But they reunited in 2020 and bonded over pictures of John’s fedora phase and Justin Bieber haircut. Natalie and her husband Scott live in North Carolina and recently had their first child, Theo!
Maddy Lagarde
Bridesmaid
Jill and Maddy met shortly after starting school together at NC State. From then on they were fast friends, spending hours doing engineering homework in DH Hill, joining PSP together, and studying abroad in the Czech republic. Jill, Sarah, and Maddy were an inseparable trio all throughout college and ever since, rooming together since Sophomore year! Maddy is an engineer for G&E and lives with her husband Matt in Wilmington, NC.
Sarah Schroeder
Bridesmaid
Jill and Sarah met shortly after starting school together at NC State. From then on they were fast friends, spending hours doing engineering homework in DH Hill, going to football games together, and watching the Bachelorette. Jill, Sarah, and Maddy were an inseparable trio all throughout college and ever since, rooming together since Sophomore year! Sarah is an engineer for the Navy, and lives in Virginia.
Nate Libner
Groomsman
Nate and John met in the first grade when they played soccer together at the YMCA and instantly became best friends. The two would frequently hangout at the Casabonne’s, playing Kirby Air Ride or FIFA late into the night and making delicious homemade chocolate shakes. The two attended college together, lived together for years, and could spend hours on end making obscure references and laughing until brought to tears. Even though they live in separate states, their friendship could never diminish, and John is so thankful to have his oldest friend by his side on his big day.
Ishan Jolly
Groomsman
Ishan first saw John in 7th grade on hat day, when John was wearing a Perry the Platypus hat sideways over long Justin Bieber hair. Ishan assumed John was a jerk, and ignored him until they connected in 8th grade during algebra geometry. The two quickly became best friends, playing league of legends late into the night on weekends, and spending time at the Casabonne house drinking Mountain Dew and eating way too much pizza. The two lived together for many years through and post college, and will forever be best friends no matter how far away they now live.
Kevin Carney
Groomsman
John and Kevin met initially taking the Pre-ACT when Kevin slammed his head in frustration during the test, and knocked John’s calculator onto the floor, almost causing a misadministration. A year later, John and Kevin met again after being sat next to each other during Algebra-Geometry and became best friends. Through years of friendships, Penguins games, soccer, cockroach infested homes, ruined rugs, and ghillie suit shenanigans, the two have remained best friends and look forward to supporting each other on their big days this year.
Scott Hall
Groomsman
John met Scott during Scott’s freshman year at Davidson, and John instantly thought Scott was the coolest guy ever. A few years after Scott graduated college, he started dating John’s sister Natalie, and John and Scott became friends, bonding over movies, music, and love for nerdy things. In 2021 John was lucky to be by Scott’s side as he and Natalie got married! Since then the two have only gotten closer, sharing good documentaries, beers, and lots of deep late night conversations. Scott has been instrumental in supporting John these past few years, and John is so blessed to have Scott as his brother (in-law!)
Ryan Noonan
Groomsman
John and Ryan met at an NC State tailgate in 2019 that Jill brought him to. Ryan and John bonded over a shared refined taste in music and beers, and didn’t get to see each other again until spring of 2020 when Jill and John finally started dating! Ryan has graciously given John a spot on the Bills bandwagon, and has been instrumental in growing John’s love for skiing and water sports. While John will try to avoid playing trivial pursuit with the Noonan family, he’s thankful to have the best bar trivia partner in the business as his brother.
Josh Munger
Groomsman
Growing up a short car ride away from each other, John always had the best “older brother” in his cousin Josh. He’s looked up to Josh his entire life, and owes his love of video games and soccer to the guy who would always make time to play with him. John remembers countless days playing Halo CE in the basement of the Munger’s home, and trying his best but always coming up short in ping pong. John always wanted a brother growing up, and was so thankful to have Josh around to help him become the man he is today.
