Stevie Baldwin
Best Man
I am Luke's older brother. I remember changing Luke's diapers. I remember dropping him off late to kindergarten. I've watched him grow up, and throughout his life, he has always given 100% to whatever he's done whether it's lacrosse or school, he's always been fully dedicated. I know that level of commitment will carry through in his marriage. While I can't quite believe my baby brother is getting married, I do believe that you two are perfect for each other, and I wish you all the happiness in the world.
Ellie Thurow
Maid of Honor
Kaeli and I met taking bio and chem classes together at Coe, but we truly became close friends when we lived together senior year. She taught me a lot about soccer (and suffered trying to coach my atrocious footwork), and she and Romeo were my biggest fans during my last two softball seasons. I can’t imagine the last few years without her, and I’m so excited to be a part of her special day!

Luke was my teammate, my roommate, and, most importantly, my best friend. The summer before my second year at Cornell, both of our original roommates left school, which led to us living together. At first, I barely knew Luke. My only real memory of him from freshman year was us joking around and making nicknames out of my last name before practice. I honestly thought he might end up hating me... and maybe at times he did. But rooming with Luke turned out to be one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I found a friend who shared my love for football and lacrosse, who could crush drumsticks while battling me in video games, who was always down for late night runs to Cane's and Lardo's, and who was simply always there for me. I didn't expect Luke to become my best friend, but I am incredibly grateful that he did.

I am Sienna Stucke, and I met Kaeli our freshman year at Coe where we went on to be teammates, roommates, and great friends! I’m currently working in Ireland where Kaeli visited me last summer.
Hartmann Marble-Wright
Groomsman
My freshman year of college, moving many states away, and being very nervous for having a roommate for the first time, I managed to get extremely lucky. Luke not only became my first friend in college, but has been the most amazing friend ever since.
Hannah Ratajczak
Bridesmaid
My name is Hannah Ratajczak and Kaeli was my first friend in law school! I would not have survived 1L without her!
Torii Greiskalns
Groomsman
I am Torii Greiskalns, I was on the Cornell lacrosse team along with Luke. We became friends pretty quickly and eventually shared a suite along with Alex and Ben.
Corinne Doty
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Corinne! Kaeli and I were roommates in college and although we had ENTIRELY flipped sleeping schedules, we still managed to get tangled up in all sorts of shenanigans at Coe. Kaeli and I (along with Sienna) could often be found playing Just Dance, True American, or live action Fruit Ninja, saving frogs that jumped inside through the window, and decorating our apartments with quite eclectic decor.
Alex Wallis
Groomsman
Hi I'm Alex. Luke and I played lacrosse together at Cornell and eventually became suite-mates for a year.
Bobby Baldwin
Officiant
I was 16 years old when Luke came into this world. Being much older than him gave me the opportunity to really appreciate every milestone he's reached in life. From his first steps, first day of kindergarten, first day of college, all these leading to his marriage to Kaeli. I am so happy for both of them and honored to be officiating the big day.
