Keri & Robert
Wedding Party
David and Mary Ann Seamon
Father and Mother of the Bride
May be officially called "Mom and Dad" but also Keri's best friends. Without their words of wisdom over the years this bride wouldn't be where she is today. They are an example of unwavering love and just celebrated 35 years of marriage!
Bob and Ellen Tesoriero
Father and Mother of the Groom
Robert's best friends and leading example of what love is. They are the most likely to welcome you into their home with red wine, warmth and lots of boards games. They also just celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary this year.
Amanda Anderson
Matron of Honor
Born 17 months apart, Keri and Amanda grew up sisters and best friends. They took on many the childhood adventure together--especially those that involved tormenting their little brother Austin. Amanda and Keri both went to UGA and PCOM-GA for medical school. One day they will host a series called 'The Lives of Sister Docs'...not really but maybe. Amanda has been so helpful with the planning of this wedding as Matron of Honor. You will see her son/Keri's god child, Thomas, as the ring bearer on wedding day! Keri can't imagine celebrating her special day without her sister by her side.
Joe Tesoriero
Best Man
Joey is Robert's older brother. From childhood enemies to adult best friends Robert can't imagine having anyone else as his best man. But let's be honest...he loves Joey the most for living off a golf course...and for giving him Elena and Natalie-his two nieces who were the background of his iphone for over 2 years.
Darby Seamon
Bridesmaid
Keri first met Darby when her brother Austin took Darby to a Brave's game and they stayed at Keri's apartment. Austin & Darby are happily married now and Keri gets to call Darby her amazing sister!!! Darby has the kindest soul and is the most organized person who puts so much effort into the details. Whether they are having a girls day in on the couch...or searching for porta potties on Saint Patrick's day in Savannah...when together it is guaranteed to be a good time. Keri is lucky to have Darby by her side on wedding day.
Brian Hancock
Groomsman
Cousins and best friends. Brian and Robert share the same birthday. The majority of their childhood memories involve time spent at the beach celebrating that same week every year. Even though they live many states away Robert was Brian's best man which is a testament to their relationship. These days, you can find Brian beating Robert on the golf course whenever they escape for their golf trips.
Gaby Tesoriero
Bridesmaid
Gaby is Keri's soon to be sister-in-law. She has two beautiful little girls who are the flower girls in the wedding :) Gaby is loving, kind and fun. She's also an incredible singer. She helped Robert to find out what Keri was looking for her in her dream engagement ring and brought the dream to life. Sooo excited to be sisters <3
Connor Johnson
Groomsman
What is there not to say about Connor? Robert and Connor grew up in the same neighborhood in Peachtree City, GA. They have been friends from middle school, went to UGA together and were roommates in their freshmen dorm. Connors claim to fame is being a wonderful father to two boys yet still remaining the life of the party.
Kristen Cooper
Bridesmaid
Kristen and Keri knew each other in high school...but their friendship became the strongest throughout college. Keri called Kristen the first weekend to "save her" from an off campus fraternity event and Kristen came to the rescue. They watched movies and ate pizza in the tennis courts until 2AM talking about life. Little did they know that 2am how quickly life would come. 15 years later they are still the best of friends. Keri was Kristen's Maid of Honor at her own wedding and is the god mother of her beautiful daughter, Ava.
Jay Smith
Groomsman
Jay and Robert met in Creswell, their freshmen dorm at UGA. They have become life long friends even though they are states apart. Per Keri, "Robert doesn't text much but he is always texting Jay". They can be found exchanging fantasy football strategies and frustrations.
Emma Lewis
Bridesmaid
There is too much to type about this 15+year friendship. Sidekick, partner in chaos/discipline and road trip bladder bootcamp. Emma and Keri were neighbors in their college dorm at UGA. They both continued to make every effort to stay in touch while both continued their degrees in medicine. Emma and Keri became roommates when Emma was working her nights in the PICU and Keri was finishing up her final two years of medical school. During your mid 20's there are a lot of ups and downs and figuring it out. Keri couldn't be luckier to have had Emma by her side. Even though they don't still live together...some days they might as well because they hash it all out together through their stream of consciousness texting. Especially UGA football games..."omg, DEFENSE", "what is happening", "I can't breathe", "throw the ball". Thank you UGA for giving me this incredible life long friend.
Nathan (Big Head) Robison
Groomsman
"Is that really his name??", Keri asked Robert when he told her about one of his best friends on their first date. Big Head and Robert met when they were in the same pledge class at UGA. They have been friends ever since. One of their favorite pastimes is snowboarding together in Sun Valley during closing weekend each year. He is the most interesting person in the room, and if you have a conversation with him you will not forget it.
Ashley Dundon
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Keri met on the UGA Dawg Find a Roommate website...almost like online dating but for finding a freshmen college roommate. Lucky for them it worked like a charm. They lived together for ALL FOUR YEARS of college. During these pivotal years they helped each other through study sessions, many many meals, UGA games and parties. They became not only friends but family. Ashley now lives in Savannah, GA where she is a wonderful mother to two beautiful children. While they don't get to see each other as often as they once did, whenever they do it is extremely meaningful. Keri can't imagine the past, present, or future without Ashley by her side.
Scott MacGillivray
Groomsman
Scott and Robert also grew up in the same neighborhood with Connor. Robert has known Scott since elementary school. They went to UGA and became dawgs together. It's been fun watching him become a father this year and enter this new stage of life. You will likely find Scott on the dance floor with a boombox.
Christina Rinaldi
Bridesmaid
This Florida girl is a ray of sunshine to anyone she meets. Christina and Keri met in medical school at Georgia PCOM. They spent countless days and nights together studying every artery, vein, bone in the human body to pass their exams. They were there for each other through the highs and lows of medical school and once they graduated that continued throughout all phases of residency and attending life. Christina is the friend that you can do anything with. You can take a nap, go hiking, eat a yummy brunch, lay on the couch and watch endless movies with or just discuss all things life for hours. She is the best listener, gives honest advice and is one of those people that that makes others feel comfortable being exactly who they are. Keri is so lucky to have Christina standing by her side on her special day.
Sean Cantlon
Groomsman
Sean and Robert grew up playing sports together. They were both very competitive. Some (Keri) may say they still are as they made the girls play darts an extra 30 minutes waiting for one team to score the bullseye. One of their favorite past times is playing spike ball in Piedmont Park. Sean was the first friend of Robert's that Keri met on their 4th date.
Hana Park
Bridesmaid
Hana met Keri when she was an intern in emergency medicine residency and Keri was a PGY3. Hana was Keri's "little". Their friendship truly blossomed after residency when a strange series of events reconnected them over thai food on Keri's couch. It was the best of friendship ever since. Hana is the person who sends you chicken noodle soup when you're sick. She has a heart of gold and loves her people hard. She's on the same wacky ER schedule as Keri so always down for the 2am phone calls and life talks. Together they have conquered one the toughest hikes in Banff...although Hana left Keri on the hilltop by herself in the snow and Keri will never let her live it down. Now Hana lives in PA but they still keep closely in touch...although Keri can't seem to send Hana a single piece of mail without it getting lost or stolen (move back to Atlanta!) Keri and Hana are so lucky to have each other and many adventures to come.
Austin Seamon
Groomsman
Austin is Keri's little brother. His relationship with Robert has been easy as they both have so much in common. From bitcoin to fantasy football to cheering on the Dawgs when together they know it will be a good time. Some of Robert's favorite memories with Austin include visiting he and Darby in Savannah for St. Patricks Day weekend and walking miles after the Morgan Wallen concert to get an uber home.
Jessica Grimes
Bridesmaid
"Hi--I know we just met...but do you want to go on a girls trip in 3 weekends to wineries" This is somewhat similar to the way that Keri and Jess's friendship began. The two of them, both outgoing social butterflies instantly clicked when Keri was an intern and Jess was a new ER nurse at Kennestone Hospital. They decided to take on the North Georgia wine highway weekend together where they tasted too much wine, sat in the hot tub until they pruned and gossiped about all things life. An unbreakable bond was formed. Later they went to Panama together on a medical trip and rationed peanut butter crackers and slept in mosquito nets and hammocks in the middle of nowhere together for days at a time. Jess is a girls girl. Her confidence radiates when she is around those that she loves and she can instantly hype up the mood...as long as she has her coffee first ;) Keri can't imagine her wedding day without Jess by her side.
Daniel Anderson
Groomsman
Daniel is Roberts soon to be brother in law. He and Robert bond over their love of UGA football and their inability to sit down during a rare 8 overtime game...pacing back and fourth. Daniel and Robert both like to play board games...something Keri is not particularly fond of. They both also get extremely competitive when playing. One of Robert's favorite memories is playing the murder mystery board game at Folly Beach on their family beach vacation. Next time he will know Daniel is the one who did it!
Elena and Natalie Tesoriero
Flower Girl
The sweetest nieces. They will throw flowers with grace and passion :) Most likely to request "Let It Go" from the DJ
Thomas Anderson
Ring Bearer
Keri and Robert's nephew. He likes to pretend to call and speak with both of them on the phone on his way to school. "Ring, Ring, Aunt Keri's at work-lets try Robert-he's at work too. What about pudge?" Cant wait to see him lead ring security and then dance the night away on the dance floor
Shaun MacLean
Officiant
Shaun and Robert have been friends since they attended the University of Georgia. When Keri and Robert were deciding who should officiate their wedding Shaun was an easy choice. Not only does he have a background in acting making him extremely comfortable in front of crowds of people, but he also is extremely charismatic and quickly can befriend anyone who he encounters. For this reason he and Keri quickly formed a friendship too. They are so excited for Shaun to make their day even more special.
