Wedding Party
Melissa Smith
Matron of Honor
Melissa is Kelly's older sister by five and a half years. They were always close growing up but have had the opportunity to get even closer since Kelly moved back to South Florida in February 2022. Melissa is getting married just two months before Kelly!
Tom White
Best Man
Tom and Dan bonded immediately at one of their first Clemson Club Lacrosse practices when they realized they both grew up in rival lacrosse towns in northern New Jersey. They quickly grew close through the team outings and their love for becoming the best Clemson Football tailgaters they could be.
Ariana Williams
Matron of Honor
Kelly and Ariana met in high school but didn't become best friends until they lived in the same apartment complex during their Sophomore year of college. They then became roommates attached at the hip and have shared countless memories since!
Dale Huettenmoser
Groomsman
Dale is Dan's older brother by a few years and somehow managed to never lose his patience through all the trouble Dan caused growing up. Dale and Dan grew up fighting over the N64 controller and still love being gaming nerds together to this day.
Chelsea King
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and Kelly met their Sophomore year in college hostessing at Amigos. They bonded over having the same area code and customers asking them daily if they were twins. They became best friends extremely fast and haven't missed a beat since!
Jesse Bernhardt
Groomsman
Like Kelly, Jesse went to UCF for college and met Dan after college in Orlando. After first connecting, they pretty much spent every weekend together after they met. Jesse was the one that introduced Dan to Tortuga Music Festival, which is where Dan and Kelly's love first sparked.
Brittany King
Bridesmaid
Brittany and Kelly met their Sophomore year of college thanks to Brittany's twin sister, Chelsea! They became immediately close, have been on countless adventures together and have been best friends ever since!
Rob Pastori
Groomsman
Rob was one of the first people Dan met after moving to Orlando for his first job after college. Then Rob lived on Dan's couch for a month before they both moved into a house with a couple other friends. Dan and Rob were able to bond over how terrible both the Jags and the Giants were at that time, but hopefully some Clemson players will change that for one of those two teams soon.
Alice Leahy
Bridesmaid
Alice and Kelly met in Chicago in early 2020 just before Covid hit. Alice and her now husband, Neil, became a bubble with Dan and Kelly during quarantine so they got very close very fast and now they're the best of friends!
Neil Leahy
Groomsman
Neil moved to Chicago with his now wife, Alice, the month before the world came to a screeching halt with the COVID pandemic. Neil and Alice quickly became some of our closest friends after spending countless hours drinking wine and playing board games throughout the pandemic. Neil, along with Alice, played a key role in making the Proposal happen as planned. Before leaving Chicago, Dan and Neil met up just about every weekend to hang out over drinks and sports
Stefanie Adamo
Bridesmaid
Stefanie and Kelly were introduced by their moms who are also best friends. Stef and Kelly both happened to be living in Chicago and although it took them a couple of years to finally meet up, they instantly connected and have been best friends ever since!
Kirk Thiel
Groomsman
Kirk moved to Dan's home town of Chatham, NJ at the start of Dan and Kirk's Junior Year of High School. Dan and Kirk first hung out after the Fall pep rally that year. Unlike many high school friends of theirs, Kirk and Dan both ultimately ended up at colleges in the south with big football programs and made it an annual routine to stay with one another for the Clemson vs FSU football games.
Megan Norman
Bridesmaid
Megan and Kelly met in 8th grade science class (hey Mr. Howard!) and were best friends from the start. They remained close through high school, visiting each other in college and now in their adult life!
Dan Garland
Groomsman
Team Dan was first established back when Clemson Dan moved into 55 West in Orlando with DG back in 2014. Dan was another die hard college football fan and Team Dan spent many Saturdays glued to the TV for college football Saturdays.
