Wedding Party

Casey Kelly

Bride

Justin Lynch

Groom

Chelsea Babcock

Maid of Honor

The first time Case met Chels she was dressed in men's clothing and cornrowed hair, emulating the former rapper and DJ "K-Fed" en route to a greek life themed party (so obviously she had to become friends with this girl). In reality, Chels is a rare gazelle now beasting her way through the NYC finance world, conquering each level of the CFA. She's an extremely reliable and trustworthy friend and is the voice of reason in Casey's life. Case and Chels enjoy the city life perks of unlimited restaurants and sample sale shopping, but even more so love escaping the concrete jungle to the great outdoors where they become one with nature.

Ryan Lynch

Best Man

Ryan has been Justin’s younger brother, roommate (growing up), and partner in crime since 1990. They’ve gotten into all sorts of trouble together and continue that trend on the reg in NYC, especially after a few sours or if Becky is in town. Ryan has a refined palette, impeccable taste, a witty sense of humor, and a nearly photographic memory — he also has night terrors.

Christin Hanley

Bridesmaid

Casey and "Small Christ" have a long rooming history spanning from college dorm life where Christ stoically put up with Casey's strange habits including late night wall ball sessions and vending machine raids, to NYC where they shared a one bedroom loft apartment in the West Village. Naturally, they became very close and are two very compatible earthlings who enjoy Pokemon hunting, skiing, and competitive board games. Christ now lives in Denver where she shreds on the reg and plays fetch with her spunky cat Babs!

Corey Garvey

Groomsman

Corey is Justin’s oldest and most trust worthy friend. They’ve always had a healthy competitve streak and have shared some of life’s most important lessons/experiences together. Growing up, they played multiple sports together, flirted with disaster on many occasions, and eventually lived together in NYC after graduating from college. They both quit their jobs in finance to go into tech at around the same time and have never looked back.

Natalie Simons

Bridesmaid

Theta sisters and roomies in college, Nat and Case both moved to D.C. after graduating where Case spent many nights crashing at Nat's abode before they both ended up in NYC! Nat is the Chihuahua Queen, she loves chocolate chip pancakes and cookies, and is a wizard who can solve any numbers problem with a quick excel sheet breakdown. She's extremely generous, especially when it comes to sharing clothes, she's prompt and exact with Venmo payments, and she knows how to throw a party!

Thomas Dodge

Groomsman

Tommy and Justin began their relationship as sworn enemies - having come from the lacrosse powerhouses of Manhasset and Garden City, respectively. It was only after meeting at Penn during NSO that they realized how much they had in common and became close friends. They lived together at Penn and in Manhattan (including in what is most accurately described as a shared hallway in hells kitchen) before Justin moved in with Casey.

Kelsey Tahan

Bridesmaid

Thanks to Ed Reed, Case and Kels serendipitously met at a Ravens football bar in NYC and immediately bonded after discovering that they both are always chosen to be at the bottom of the human pyramid. The two did not exchange contact info, but Kels being the resourceful man-chick that she is, backchanneled to find it and reached out to Casey inviting her to visit and potentially be her 4th roommate. Despite flooding Kelsey's bathroom upon arrival, the pair stayed out until 4AM where the decision was made to be roommates. Kels goes above and beyond for her "people" and introduced Case to the best things in life like China Fun soup dumplings, "The Shore," and most importantly to her husband to be!

Brett Hughes

Groomsman

Brett and Justin were co-captains of the men’s lacrosse team at Penn. Housemates throughout school and then in Manhattan, Brett and Justin regularly meet to discuss world mega-trends in business, politics, advertising, and technology as well as general strategies for world domination and ideas to cure male pattern baldness. Justin deeply respects Brett’s willingness to do whatever it takes to win, unless he’s playing against him in spike ball.

Lauren Gluck

Bridesmaid

Case and Laur became friends in high school and then both moved up to NYC after college to begin their advertising/PR careers. They spent two summers fleeing the steamy city for fresh air and ocean breeze at share houses in Manasquan, NJ and Amagansett, NY, before Lauren moved to L.A. where she now has beach access 24/7 and doesn't have to live with 20 people to afford it. Lauren is free spirited and extremely lovable and fun, she's the life of the party and has a contagious laugh that makes everyone feel special.

AJ Nelson

Groomsman

AJ is a renaissance man and true friend. He once gave up his sleeping bag without a second thought so that the soon-to-be married couple wouldn’t freeze on a camping trip after their tent got flooded. Selfless acts like these are par for the course for AJ. He’s an entrepreneur, a gifted outdoorsman (just no axes), and a savage strategist, especially when it comes to games that involve 4 resources.

Brooke Exler

Bridesmaid

Casey and "Cookie" met in high school where they first became friends during field hockey pre-season and then ended up living with each other in NYC after college where they witnessed Sandy flood their building and survived several days of no power, while preventing rats from scaling upward to their 25th floor apartment ;) Brooke is a constant source of entertainment, she always has a story to tell, and she's the perfect sidekick for a windows down, jams up car ride dance party, especially when Journey's "Don't Stop Believin" comes on (just make sure she's not driving!).

Brennan Kelly

Groomsman

Brennan is Justin’s future brother-in-law and one of the funniest, most gregarious, and most generous people he knows. Brennan, Casey, and Justin have gone on some epic hikes and will not stop until every peak has been conquered. There is nothing in life more motivating than listening to Brennan shout lines from Gladiator during the final bid for a summit.

Quyen Nguyen

Bridesmaid

Quyen is Casey’s future sister-in-law and is engaged to her brother Tyler! When Casey first met Quyen she immediately felt at ease and that she could tell her anything. Despite being several years younger than Case, Quyen is an old soul and mature beyond her years. When Quyen and Tyler moved to Brooklyn, Casey was pumped to have her “Seester” so close by for weekend hangouts, game nights, and most importantly plotting which restaurants they want to go to and studying the menu and Yelp reviews to ensure they order the perfect meal ;) The Kelly fam is very lucky to have Quyen in their lives who not only brings her medical expertise while on her path to becoming a doctor, but also because she is an incredibly lovable, calm and strong person that makes everyone feel at home.

Tyler Kelly

Groomsman

Tyler is Justin’s future brother-in-law and a fellow start-up addict. They’ve bonded over everything from the difficulties of starting a business to how great its going to be after all their plans finally come to fruition. Tyler is also a world class tennis player who somehow manages to have the patience to play with Justin when they go on vacation.

Becky Lynch

Bridesmaid

Becky is Casey's future sister-in-law, but after meeting each other, it felt like they'd always been close friends. They both love sports and played lacrosse in college (Becky, being a savage, also played on the Women's U.S. team and now continues her career as a college coach), they also both love fam time, beach hangs, flagels, and friendly competition. Becky is incredibly easy going and kind, she truly cares about her family and friends, and she's all about positive vibes and some feel good tunes on a long car ride.

Michael Watson

Groomsman

Michael is Justin’s future brother-in-law and is engaged to his sister Becky! His global travels and worldly demeanor designate him as the groups go-to foreign restaurant captain, especially if we find ourselves in the mix at a Korean bbq establishment. Michael has led brave men & women in the US Army and Justin finds great comfort knowing that his sister's future husband is an Army Ranger that's mastered multiple forms of combat.
