Wedding Party
Grace Cardamone
Maid of Honor
Grace and Kaelyn have been best friends since they were 6 years old after meeting in Kindergarten at St. Ann School. Both of them growing up with two brothers, they're sisters at heart. 17 years later, they now bond over trips to Florida, french fries, cheap wine and their ridiculous sense of humor.
Chris Kelleher
Best Man
Matt and Chris have been best friends since middle school. They never run out of things to talk about and are always bonding over new movies and reminiscing about memories like winning Battle of the Bands in high school and starring in high school musicals together. If music is involved, you can bet they're enjoying it together, one way or another.
Brittany Behling
Bridesmaid
Brittany and Kaelyn first met at the infamous "Garden Night" back in 6th grade when both of their soon-to-be stepdads introduced them to one another. After realizing their mutual weirdness fit pretty well together, they've stayed great friends ever since. The highlights of their friendship include studying abroad in Italy, sharing vegan milkshakes and making home-videos on Kaelyn's mom's video recorder.
Kurt Ballerstein
Groomsman
Even when he was on active duty in the Army, Kurt and Matt have always stayed close. They've been friends since middle school, and Kurt can take credit for being Matt's style icon and Gin & Soda connoisseur. Always up for a good time, most of Matt's best memories include Kurt and the crazy times they've had together.
Aimee Anno
Bridesmaid
Aimee and Kaelyn first met as co-workers about 2 years ago when Kaelyn started her job at an advertising agency in Syracuse. Though their friendship is relatively new, and have both since left the agency, they grew close very fast. They chalk that up to their ultra-weird sense of humor, love of memes and conspiracy theories, super transparent talks and their ability to bring out the worst in each other (in a good way).
Anthony Sciotti
Groomsman
Matt and Tony have been great friends since middle school and even transferred to the same college their junior year, living together for the next two years until Tony participated in the Spring 2013 Disney College Program. They share a ridiculous sense of humor and even though they don't get to see each other often, with Tony living in Nashville and Matt living in Syracuse, they've remained close over the years.
Ellen Warner
Bridesmaid
Ellen and Kaelyn first met through Ellen's husband, Jake when he was roommates with Matt. Originally bonding through support during difficult times, they found a priceless friendship with one another. They love to take part in DIY spa nights, find dessert recipes on Pinterest, bond over their growing essential oils collection and finding a hundred blankets to climb under and binge watch The Office.
Richie Dunning
Groomsman
Matt and Richie first met in middle school and together they wreaked havoc on the city of Hornell (RIP Gene's Jeep windshield). Richie also joined Matt and Chris in some of the high school musicals, and he's played Matt in some epic ping-pong battles over the years.
Andrea Corasanti
Bridesmaid
Andrea and Kaelyn lived across the hall from each other their freshman year of college when they first met. Over the next four years they shared their first apartment together, watched every Star Wars movie several times a semester, and ordered Insomnia Cookies on a weekly basis. They are also very fond of dancing, bubble tea and skipping class to go get nachos.
Joe Mauro
Groomsman
If you haven't figured it out by now, the vast majority of Matt's groomsmen are all part of a group of friends from middle school to high school. Joe was another one of his friends from this tight-knit group. Both Matt and Joe have an undying love for the New York Yankees and they're always up for a good time.
Tayghan Doorley
Junior Bridesmaid
Tayghan is Matt's sister, and she and Kaelyn quickly became the sisters each other never had. Watching her grow up into the amazing young woman she's becoming has been a highlight of Kaelyn's relationship with Matt. They both love painting their nails, animals and making fun of Matt.
Matthew Dessena
Groomsman
Matthew is Kaelyn's younger brother. They don't just share a name, but the same goofy personality. Their love for baseball has always been a staple in their relationship, and over the years Matt has watched him grow into the great young man he's become and considers him a brother of his own.
Winnie
Flower Girl
If you think this is a joke, we can promise you it's not. Winnie is our 2 year old Goldendoodle and she will be escorted down the aisle by Kaelyn's brother, Nicholas.
Nicholas Gray
Ring Bearer
Nicholas is Kaelyn's youngest brother. He'll be escorting the "flower girl" down the aisle.
