Wedding Party
Sarah Kabbert
Maid of Honor
Song Request: "Thunderstruck" - AC/DC Claim to Fame: Cheeseburger Connoisseur Memory: Walking down the Christopher St. Pier, trying to act normal, and secretly pulling out Kelsey's scrunchie seconds before having the honor of watching Tyler ask Kelsey to marry him. Eyes full of tears (mine not Kelsey's)
Nicholas Kane
Best Man
Song Request: Hey ya! - OutKast Claim to Fame: Voted most athletic in the 8th grade Memory: Spending a wintery evening in NYC with Tyler and Kelsey and coming back to a slight burning smell in their apartment building. Little did we know we would be fighting our way down the steps through a group of firefighters 15 mins later. Luckily Tyler and Kelsey’s apartment was 1 of 2 units that didn’t have damage! We were very thankful to all be together and I got to meet 2 of Kelsey’s amazing bridesmaids that night as they took us in off the streets. Bonus Content: Also known as Tyler and Kelsey’s third roommate in NYC.

Bridesmaid
Song Request: "I'm Good" - David Guetta & Bebe Rexha, 1 hr loop version Claim to Fame: My jaw dislocates multiple times a day (don't worry I only have to go to the ER sometimes) Memory: Kelsey and I have never lived in the same state so we have to travel to one of our locations or meet somewhere else to spend time together. Because of that, we always make our time together count. Whether it's just the two of us, the three of us (with Sarah), a family trip, or a trip that includes the boys (see groomsmen: Eric & Travis), we are having the best time. One of my faves with Kelsey: Clearwater, FL where the security guard of the bar drove us to McDonald's and then back to our hotel in his minivan. One of my faves with the boys: Santacon 2018 where I fell asleep on Tyler's chest with a slice of pizza in my hand and he didn't even wake me up.
Jamie Bruno
Bridesmaid
Song Request: "Hips Don't Lie" - Shakira... duh Claim to Fame: Creating Mean Girls the musical with Kelsey in 9th grade dance class. We thought of this first!! Memory: Living with Tyler and Kels for 2 weeks in Florida!! I love their relationship and how amazing they get along and work together. They are a true example of an amazing relationship.
Maria Bonci
Bridesmaid
Song Request: "Dem Jeans" - Chingy Featuring Jermaine Dupri, because it reminds me of high school and it's the only song I can rap Claim to Fame: Calling Tyler "Tiger Bomb" and playing the Wheel of Fortune on Nintendo and watching Saw movies with Kelsey during our high school Friday night sleepovers Memory: Having Kelsey and Tyler let me be their third wheel during their high school dates (in particular going to a Pirate game - there's photo evidence of that one), and watching how much they love my daughter (Mya) when they come stay with us for our Frederick brewery trips!
Brian Demartino
Groomsman
Song Request: Love Story - Taylor Swift; Mr. Brightside: The Killers Claim to Fame: Never winning a Tyler fantasy league, being left handed just like Tyler!, almost beat 20+ of Kelsey’s friends in a Bachelor fantasy league but fell short at the end Memory: The back to back surprise birthday and engagement party weekends will always be absolutely iconic. The day I turned 21, Tyler and I went to the local distributor 60 seconds down the road to grab my first legal case of beer! Unfortunately because I couldn’t sign my middle name properly we had to go to the next closest distributor which was 2 miles away and carry multiple cases the entire way back. The very first time I visited NY to see Tyler and Kelsey happened to be the same weekend that NY had record high temperatures. Tyler dragging me around the city cramming in as many places to eat and sites to see as possible in 48 hours might be the hardest thing my body has ever been put through - and I’ve had multiple back surgeries. Trying to keep up with Tyler riding his bike around NYC should be an Olympic sport! Bonus Content: I would argue that Tyler is the best fantasy sports commissioner of all time, even back in middle school he would keep everyone’s money in a Ziploc bag for the entire season. He was the only person everyone trusted to be fair and well organized enough for the job. Do you know how hard it is for a 15 year old kid to be given $250 to hold on for an entire year and not spend it?
Eric Englert
Groomsman
Song Request: The Beatles - Twist and Shout Claim to Fame: I’m incredibly indecisive. (Couldn’t even land on a single claim to fame) Memory: The many Friday nights at d.b.a. in the East Village decoding the drink menu mystery fonts. And of course enjoying a celebratory shot (on the house) once we solved them. Bonus Content: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” – Ferris Bueller
Laura Crowe
Bridesmaid
Song Request: "From Now On" - The Greatest Showman!! But only once we're drunk enough to stomp on the floor and shout very loud Claim to Fame: I was a competitive Irish step dancer Memory: My favorite memory is Kelsey leaving her purse in an Uber, me running blocks and blocks in heels in NYC to chase it down, getting it back, her crying and swearing to me they stole a lot of cash she just got... just to receive a text the next morning from the queen herself that the money was on her night stand all along
Travis Joyal
Groomsman
Song Request: The Business - Tiesto Claim to Fame: I live in Massachusetts and wear flip flops year round. Memory: Ripping Fireball shots with Ty and Kels at Jenny's wedding - one of the first times we met - with Uncle Allen stumblin' in the background, circa 2014. Bonus Content: "Pitter Patter, let's get at 'er!"

Mike Teti
Groomsman
Song Request: Taylor Swift- as much Taylor Swift as they’ll let me request Claim to Fame: Tyler has been by my side every time I’ve split my head open. Running into each other with exercise balls strapped to our chests, face planting on a pile of icy logs, and he was even playing center field when I crashed full speed into the right field fence in high school. Memory: Competing against Tyler in backyard sports growing up. Whiffle ball, 2v2 basketball, make shift triathlons, homemade mini golf course, even croquet!! Lucky for me, I always had the more athletic Kane (Nick) on my team. Bonus Content: It’s about damn time these two are getting married!! Cheers 🍻🍻
Brian Torchia
Groomsman
Song Request: Pepas - Farruko, David Guetta Claim to Fame: Being the tall friend Memory: From playing whiffle ball in Tyler’s backyard as kids, to coming home to him asleep in a chair in front of our open refrigerator door in college, to him pushing my body to its breaking point (literally) on a hiking trip throughout Arizona, there’s too many over the years to pick just one. Bonus Content: I’ve always been amazed at Tyler’s ability to run the Turkey Trot hungover on Thanksgiving morning year after year. That’s just Tyler though, he’s had that dawg in him since the day I met him.
