Lindsay & James
Wedding Party
Keagan Gros
Maid of Honor
Keagan and Lindsay met day one of college at Elon University when they moved in from each other across the hall. After becoming fast friends, they joined the same sorority and, eventually, moved to N.Y.C. Keagan works as a recruiter, and has been honored multiple times as a top recruiter at her company. She's a talented singer, and performs with an a capella group — which Lindsay loves to watch!
Paige Reckziegel
Matron of Honor
Paige and Lindsay became friends during sophomore year of college at Elon University through their sorority, and enjoyed taking classes together in the communications school. Since moving to N.Y.C., Paige and Lindsay have sweat through workout classes together, seen Broadway shows, and more recently, enjoy exploring their neighborhood on the Upper East Side. Paige, a New Jersey native, works for Estée Lauder in social and digital analytics.
Ashley Baronner
Bridesmaid
Ashley is Lindsay's oldest friend — the pair have known each other since they were toddlers. After growing up in Hollidaysburg, where they wrote each other extravagant newsletters and enjoyed taking dance classes together, Ashley went to Allegheny College, and eventually Jefferson for medical school. Dr. Baronner — an avid runner — is now in her residency in New Hampshire.
Katelyn Taylor
Bridesmaid
Kate is another Hollidaysburg friend, who Lindsay has known since their early days at Holliday Dance. From nights in her parents' famed Penn State room, to working together at the Meadows Creamery, Kate and Lindsay always had fun. Kate works as a nurse, an EMT ... and the assistant coroner in Hollidaysburg, where she lives with her husband Matt and their adorable new pooch, Tank.
Aubrey Wall
Bridesmaid
Though Aubrey didn't move to Hollidaysburg until the 10th grade, the pair became fast friends when Lindsay helped her create a secret Facebook page. Fun on the golf team followed, and countless trips to the Hollidaysburg football field to just sit and chat. Aubrey now lives in Columbia, South Carolina, with her husband Brodie. They are expecting their first child. She works as the principal of a Catholic elementary school, after teaching second grade for several years.
Rachel Moyer
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Lindsay have, too, been friends since their days at Holliday Dance in Hollidaysburg. In high school, they loved sitting in Rachel's basement and trying Mrs. Moyer's amazing kitchen concoctions, or catching up with the gang at Sheetz. Dr. Moyer is a Penn State alum, and now lives in Pittsburgh, where she's in her podiatry residency. Her love for pickles has never waned.
Tricia Palmer
Bridesmaid
Tricia and Lindsay met as sorority sisters at Elon University their sophomore year. Tricia is Lindsay's go-to shopping buddy, and knows how to plan the perfect party. Lindsay was honored to stand by Tricia's side as she married her husband, John, in May 2018. Tricia — who works in human resources — and John have left the Big Apple and now reside in Charlotte, North Carolina. Tricia is a talented singer, and was part of the Macy's singing tree in the Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2017.
Megan Van Buren
Bridesmaid
Years ago, Megan and Lindsay took a tennis clinic together — Megan was much, much better than Lindsay. The pair were close companions in high school, hitting the golf course together, spending many, many nights in the Van Burens' basement and traveling to Disney World (Lindsay's favorite place) together. Megan went to college not far from Lindsay at Wake Forest, and now lives in Denver, Colorado. Meg is an incredible athlete, and regularly tackles triathlons.
Bryan Carney
Best Man
Bryan and James have been brothers and friends for nearly 27 years. Originally roommates in Long Beach and Garden City on Long Island, Bryan also moved in next door to James in Stuyvesant Town, ensuring they would keep the fun going in New York City! A 2015 graduate of Vanderbilt, Bryan is an engineering guru, renowned health nut, and a whiz around the kitchen.
Jared Kimble
Groomsman
Jared came into James’ life by way of Lindsay, and James could not be happier to call him his brother-in-law! A fellow sports fanatic, Jared works in Orlando, but always roots for his Pittsburgh Penguins and Penn State Nittany Lions. (James and Jared plan to get matching Saquon Barkley Giants jerseys!)
Pat Bradley
Groomsman
One of James’ oldest Garden City childhood friends (more to come), James and Pat grew up minutes from each other — enabling boundless activities between the two. Between 10 years of carpooling to travel soccer games, listening to Sunday Morning Irish Radio, weekend trips upstate to Rosendale, and of-age trips to Cancun, James and Pat always have fun (sometimes too much). Pat graduated from Ohio State, works at J.P. Morgan, and lives in Houston with his fiancé Allie.
Ed Keenan
Groomsman
The one-time Captain of the Garden City Janissaries soccer team, Ed has a knack for organizing a good time with James and his friends. There’s no one James would rather suffer through a Mets and Islanders season, or enjoy a frigid Notre Dame tailgate with. Ed and James spent years as colleagues together, and both share an affinity for a Guinness at their local watering hole. Ed graduated from Notre Dame, works at Deloitte Consulting, and lives with his fiancé Katie in New York City.
Nigel Carpenter
Groomsman
One of James' oldest friends from Garden City, a young James and Nigel could be found receiving their first Communion together at St. Joseph's Church or spending summers at Grove Park. Later on in life, they would be multi-year roommates at Villanova University and then, keeping the party going, they were roommates in New York City, at an infamous apartment in Stuyvesant Town. Nigel graduated from Villanova University, where he was a generational rugby star, and now lives in Manhattan.
Mike Ripp
Groomsman
Growing up just a few blocks away in Garden City, Mike had both the best basement, and the premier New Hampshire getaway in the neighborhood. "Apocalypse Now" was watched a few times, and cold beverages were enjoyed just a few more. In their playing days, Mike and James were teammates on the renowned Eagles, Tomahawk, and Jannissaries soccer teams. Mike graduated from Boston College, works at Mizuho, and lives with his wife Mary in New York.
Will Bartow
Groomsman
Will and James were randomly-paired freshman year roommates at Villanova University and never looked back. Over time, their bond has grown and their behavior has improved. James spends each Labor Day weekend at Will's family estate in Vinalhaven, Maine, and the two can often be found hanging out and watching Villanova basketball games or classic comedy flicks from their college years ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "I Love you, Man," etc.). Will is a graduate of Columbia University (who would have thought?), and lives in Manhattan.
Anthony Pusateri
Groomsman
Anthony moved onto James’ block in 5th grade and they have been great friends ever since. James looked up to Anthony then, because he was already shaving and a foot taller than the next tallest elementary school student, and looks up to him now for his constant friendship and support. Anthony graduated from Fordham, works at Barclays, and lives with his wife Kara in New York City.
