Wedding Party
Christina Chinappi
Matron of Honor
Christina has been Kim's best friend since high school. They have had countless adventures together and their friendship has remained strong through all of life's major milestones. Christina knows how to get Kim out of her comfort zone and encourages her to try new things and to be a warrior in all situations. Kim feels so fortunate to have a friend that she can always count on for anything.
Steve England
Best Man
Steve and Dan met in the Fall of 2004 at Nazareth College. They have been roommates twice in their life. They share passions for volleyball, golf, and sports gambling. As the Best Man, Steve will excel in his ability to keep everyone involved and ensure there are no missed opportunities for a good time. Dan is confident Steve's toast will be sweet and supportive and is not at all worried about Steve making fun of him in front of all his friends, family, and new in-laws.
Jeni Eichas
Bridesmaid
Jeni is Kim's sister-in-law. Steve not only picked a caring human being to bring into the family- Jeni is also a lot of fun. She has been an amazing friend to Kim and Dan and has been a source of support through all of life's ups and downs. We are so lucky to call her family.
Ben Drayn
Groomsman
Ben is Dan's longest and closest friend. They first met in 4th Grade at Teft Ave Elementary School while bobbing their heads to Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise.” Ben has taught Dan many things throughout his life and is the main person responsible for any hunting acumen that Dan has acquired.
Kristen Kremers
Bridesmaid
Kristen and Kim met when she first began working at Churchville-Chili. As luck would have it, they shared an interest in volleyball and have been bringing sweet dance moves and crazy sounds to the court for years now. Kristen always offers sound advice and a fresh perspective in all situations. She is always down to bring the fun and laughter.
Clede Spooner
Groomsman
Dan and Clede met in the Winter of 2006 at Nazareth College, and their friendship was almost immediately infamous after they nearly destroyed the Nazareth College Ski Club on a legendary trip to Vermont. Though Clede was once a "hockey bro," he is confident Clede will make fast-friends with the "rugby family" at the wedding.
Hadley Eichas
Flower Girl
Hadley is Kim's niece, who Kim likes to call Mufasa. This will be the first wedding that she will be attending and she is excited to celebrate with everyone. Hadley has welcomed Dan right from the start, even asking him to please be her uncle long before they got engaged. We are so lucky to have such a loving and fun niece!
Steve Eichas
Groomsman
Steve entered Dan’s life in the Fall of 2023. If there was a brother-in-law draft, Steve would be the undisputed consensus number one pick. He would have million dollar endorsement deals with Tregger, Yeti, and Cabela's. Having Steve in the wedding party was a no-brainer because Kim reports that Steve would also be a top prospect in the best brother draft.
Koda Eichas
Ring Bearer
Koda is Kim's dog and the goodest boy on the planet. He will be at the wedding ceremony to accept all the pets and attention that guests might want to give him. Koda rarely misses an opportunity to be where his people are and is looking forward to his role as the "ring bear".
Kyle Salisbury
Officiant
In the search for an officiant, Kyle Salisbury became the obvious choice and Kim and Dan couldn’t be happier that he agreed to the job. Dan has known Kyle for over 25 years and Kim and Kyle have known each other for over 10 years. Kim and Dan think highly of Kyle as a teacher, coach, colleague, and friend. There is just something near and dear about great volleyball people and Kyle is sure to elevate the ceremony with both a heartfelt and distinct style.
