Wedding Party
Allison Rupprecht
Maid of Honor
Allison has been by my side, near and dear to me, since i was 18 months old. Growing up we spent countless summer pool days together, and every summer a trip to the beach together. Allison resides in Hilton Head, South Carolina, where she hosted my bachlorette trip! We have been traveling to see each other since I was in 5th grade. No matter the time inbetween, it’s like we never left. She is my gardening influencer, and my true tale of time and distance not being an issue in closeness
Kara Bozarelli
Matron of Honor
Kara is my little sister. We didn’t always like each other, but the older we got the closer we grew. She is my cove of safety, my piece of peace, and the only person who will tell me I’m batshit crazy and to get my shit together. I was lucky to stand by her side in 2021 at her wedding, and I’m even more lucky that she will stand by me for mine.
Marissa Machinski
Bridesmaid
Marissa and I met in highschool, but our friendship didn’t kick off until a few years after. We rekindled our friendship on facebook, when she asked if I knew anywhere to get good coffee. It was that moment I knew I had a lifelong friend. We have shared many laughs and cries over the years. I was lucky to stand by her side in 2022 at her wedding, and I am so excited for her to stand by mine! She is the Big Mac to my Value Meal, and the Chestnut to my Praline. One of my bestfriends forever.
Cassandra Mongelluzzo
Bridesmaid
Cassie and I were neighbors when we first met. One day I had a knock on my door and before I could get up to answer the door FLINGS OPEN and THIS MAN walks in with this little blonde girl behind him. I freeze in fear. They introduce themselves and say they work with my brother and proceed to sit down to hang out and drink coffee. Who knew that first meeting would lead to over 10 years of friendship and many stories to tell. I was lucky to stand by her side on her best day May 16th, and i’m estatic to have her by mine. Cassie is my ray of sunshine, and the brightness everyone needs in their lives.
Emily Gillie
Bridesmaid
Emily and I met back in 2019 when we were both going thru the height of the spiral of our lives. Break ups, late night talks, and dancing until the sun came up helped shape our futures into solid friends. Emily is my strong friend, in strength and mind. I was honored to be asked to stand by her side May 1st for her wedding, and I’m elated to have her by mine. If the world ever goes to complete shit, you bet your ass I’m sticking with her.
Kristie Murdock
Bridesmaid
I met Kristie in back in highschool, but our friendship didn’t bloom until a few years later. We went to go get burgers and milkshakes and couldn’t understand why we didn’t hang out sooner. Since then, our friendship has grown closer than a freezepop in a plastic wrapper. We are two craft peas in a Michaels pod. She has the kindest soul, a listening ear, and a judgement free space to just be myself.
Victoria Jennings
Bridesmaid
Victoria is my artistic friend, and my friend that started my love of plants. If you’ve traveled around the city, she has painted storefront windows and beautiful murals all around town. She is my space of comfort and relaxation, the inspiration of all things creative, and a beautiful soul i couldn’t imagine life without.
Ethan Olson
Best Man
Ethan has been my partner in crime since early on in school, courtesy of our sisters being friends before each other even knew we existed. Once we met we realized that our hobbies and lifestyle aligned almost perfectly. Throughout high school we could be found doing something together every weekend and constantly through the summer, whether it be fishing or mountain biking. We always found a way to spice it up like going kayaking when there wasn't enough water and having to get a ride back to our car from a less than sober (actively drinking and driving) and less than optimal local. Ethan has always been by my side even as he resides on the other side of the country.
Austin Alfer
Groomsman
Austin and I met through mutual friends of the automotive field. Austin has always be a stable friend who I can count on for just about everything. Whether we are just hanging out or helping each other with our latest home improvement project, or coming to the rescue and helping my better half break into our house when she got locked out and I was over five hours away. Hes someone I can rely on to give me sound advice and reminds me to stop overthinking things.
Josh Faust
Groomsman
Josh and I met in high-school working at Panera Bread where we created a solid friend group in order to survive the Sunday morning rush so people to get their bagels they so desperately needed. After Panera we stayed close and kept in touch helping each other however we could. Josh is now a fantastic dog trainer and has been able to help us with our two rats as we try to train them to be better rats. Josh is always up for the adventure loves to travel in free time to see the better parts of the world.
Jack Macdonald
Groomsman
I met Jack after about a year at working at Valley Honda. I'll never forget seeing this man come in with his toolbox and wild long hair, thinking to myself "who is that?". Everyone there already knew Jack because this wasn't his first time working there. Eventually Jack and I got the opportunity to work directly next to each other and that's how the "dream team" was born. Progressing in our careers together we have built a strong friendship in and out of work. Hes always there to lighten the mood and make the day go easier when times are tough at work.
Kevin McNamee
Groomsman
I got the honor of meeting Kevin not long into my relationship with Kelly. Kevin being Kelly's younger brother, has always been a good guy and a fun time. Its always a pleasure to spend time with him at family functions or having him over for stuffed peppers and relaxing after work. I'm thankful to be able to call Kevin my friend because at the end of the day I know that if I need someone to lean or lend a helping hand Kevin will be there in a moments notice.
Zach Palyszeski
Groomsman
I met Zach at Valley Honda after hearing many good things and hilarious stories from Kelly. Eventually I realized Zach was a great person to be around and always found a way to lighten the mood around work. Not long into our friendship Zach could be found hanging out at our house after work playing video games or watching mindless videos on YouTube until it was time to go home. Hes a quality friend who I can always count on to improve my day with a story from his latest shenanigans.
