Wedding Party
Kevin Pasulka
Best Man
Kevin has been my best friend since we met in the first grade at OLPH and was by my side in Rome the very first time I met Keara. Prior to Keara entering the picture, you could have seen Kevin on any one of our family trips, tagging along to the point where he could have been considered a brother of mine. I cannot wait to have him by my side on our big day just as he was from the start of Keara and my relationship.
Carolyn Cahill
Maid of Honor
Carolyn is not only the Maid of Honor she is my best friend and sister. We have been inseparable since birth. I was always her shadow following her around and asking for "sissy" if we were ever apart, and not much has changed today. Carolyn is hilarious, loving, and warm and I am honored to have her as my maid of honor for the big day! If you spot her on the dance floor don't forget to ask her to break out the worm!
Ryan Trueman
Groomsman
Ryan and I first met during spring Loyola Academy hockey tryouts when I was a freshman and he was a little eighth grader trying to make the varsity team. We became instant boys from then. From playing on three hockey teams together throughout high school, being assistant captains together (respect), to following in his parent's (but most importantly, mine) footsteps to Boston College. Ryan is another person I consider to be a younger brother that I never had and and I cannot wait to have him be a part of this big day!
Leah Ferrari
Bridesmaid
Leah is my cousin and built in best-friend. Even though we are technically family we are friends first! From our fun summers in Montauk to New Jersey visits, we always make it a party when we see each other. I am always the happiest when I get to spend time with her. Leah and I can most likely be found in the garden looking for a "snack", cooking together, or sending each other delicious recipes. Leah is driven, fun, and caring. Excited to have Leah as a bridesmaid!
Jake Knight
Groomsman
Jake and I became great buddies in dental school from living next door to each other the last three years of school. From grinding it out with Keara and me in our first triathlon, to being a part time father for Milo when Keara and I were busy, Jake has been a great friend and person that I can always count on to show up and work or have a great time with. Please look out for him screaming all the lyrics to any Creed song at our after party!
Madeleine Beck
Bridesmaid
Maddie is my future sister-in law and I could not be happier! I feel so thankful I get a best friend and sister built in one! Maddie and I are most likely to be found making the next delicious cocktail or getting dragged home by Matt for staying out too late (never forgot Mykonos night). Maddie is thoughtful, stylish, and loving and whenever I get the chance to see her I am always so happy! I can't wait for Maddie to be up there with me on the big day!
Tyler Osterday
Groomsman
Ty is another one of my best friends from dental school, who also lived next door to me for my last three years of school. From brainstorming recipes with Keara, to going on walks with Milo and me by the beach in St. Francis, I can also consider him to be a part-time dog dad of Milo's. Looking forward to having him up there with me on the big day!
Jessie Bailenson
Bridesmaid
Jessie has been my best friend since high school. She is more of a sister to me at this point! We have truly been through all the chapters together. From surviving Friends Academy together to the occasional "WHY ME!" Dan talks we truly have had each others backs through it all. Jessie even made the trip to Wisconsin for the engagement! Jessie is loyal, artistic, and hilarious. I feel so lucky to have her as one of my bridesmaids and closest friends for life!
Brendan Benjamin
Groomsman
Brendan and I lived next door to each other in the basement of our dorm room my freshman year at Boston College and was one of my first friends. He is one of the funniest guys I've ever met and is always ready to have a great time. Even though we live across the country from each other right now and only communicate through sending memes, I consider Brendan to be one of my closest friends and can't wait to party with him on the big day! Also ask him about Doc Emrick after his third cocktail.
Meg Sullivan
Bridesmaid
Meg is one of my best friends from Boston College! We lived together in the North End in Boston for the two years following graduation. Meg and I both love to cook and drink wine while "pretending" to watch movies together. Meg is most likely to make a new friend wherever she goes. Meg made the trip all the way to Wisconsin for the engagement and I feel so grateful to have her in my life! Meg is spontaneous, loving, and full of energy. I can't wait to have her as one of my bridesmaids.
Chris Murphy
Groomsman
Murph was my roommate for my last three years at Boston College, and fellow lover of the Chicago Cubs. We have been through thick and thin with each other and he is one of the best guys that I have ever met. Looking forward to seeing him in khakis and a BC sweatshirt at the altar on our wedding day!
Izzy Catanzaro
Bridesmaid
Izzy is one of my best friends from Boston College! We first bonded through her husband Jim and Matt being close friends, and the rest is history! Izzy and I absolutely love trying out new restaurants together and of course drinking wine. I was just a bridesmaid in her wedding in Boston and I feel so lucky to have her included in my wedding party. Izzy is articulate, caring, and has amazing taste. If you happen to spot Izzy at the wedding be sure to ask her about the time she ordered a Negroni at a dive-bar.
Ryan Swenson
Usher
Ryan and I were roommates my first year of dental school and have been best buddies ever since. From playing men's league hockey in Milwaukee together, competing in the triathlon with Keara and me, to going ice fishing, we have been through it all. Ryan has always been someone that I can count on and it's an honor to have him be a part of this big day!
Ian Friedman
Ring Bearer
Ian has been one of my best friends since Middle School at Friends Academy! It is truly impossible not to love him. He brings so much warmth, love, and humor in to any room he walks in to. From being Senior prom dates to all of our fun summers in Montauk together, I can't think of a better person to be our ring bearer. We are so excited to have Ian celebrate with us on the big day!!
Griffin Swenson
Usher
Last but certainly not least, Griffin was one of my first friends in dental school and someone who was always down to have a great time no matter the occasion. I'm excited to have him be a part of this big day and most importantly, be the life of the party!
