Lexi & Simon
Wedding Party
Kiera Przygoda
Maid of Honor
Kiera and Lexi met during Kiera’s freshman year of college at UTK. They were suitemates that quickly bonded over their shared love of Disney, reality TV, Justin Bieber, and watching the Vols sometimes win. Over the years, Kiera and Lexi have remained close friends. Although distance keeps them apart, Lexi is thankful for daily FaceTime calls that sometimes last all day. Lexi is thrilled to have Kiera as her Maid of Honor and can’t wait to celebrate!
David Chapman
Best Man
Simon met David working at Starbucks in Murfreesboro in 2013, and the two have remained close friends ever since. They bonded over their faith, and mutual appreciation for at-work shenanigans. Starbucks also brought David and his wife Kelsey together, and Simon was honored to be a part of their wedding in 2014. In 2015, David and Kelsey moved to Colorado Springs, but kept in touch, ultimately leading to their return to Middle Tennessee in 2021 (not really, but Simon likes to think David missed him). Simon is honored to have David as his Best Man, standing by him and supporting him as he has for the last decade.
Corey Clancy
Man of Honor
Lexi met Corey while working at Disney and they became fast friends. They spent many days running around the parks talking about love and life. If it wasn't for Corey's words of wisdom, Lexi's relationship with Simon would be non-existent. Corey is someone you can be your true self around and is always there if you need a shoulder to cry on or a laugh! Lexi is so thankful for her friendship with Corey and is so excited to have him by her side!
Caleb Franklin
Groomsman
When Simon moved to TN in 2011, he had no friends and was living in an apartment with his Mom… but then he met Caleb. Like David, Simon met Caleb working at Starbucks while both attended MTSU for undergrad. The story goes that Caleb’s first impression of Simon was not a great one; A northern, lax bro, arrogant type, that was sure to clash with most southern, hipster baristas. In an act of desperation (likely), Caleb was in need of a third roommate, and gave Simon the opportunity to leave the nest. Over the next 2 years, Caleb and Simon formed a unbreakable bond, experiencing all that being a broke college student has to offer. Simon is honored to have a friend like Caleb by his side on such an important day.
Paige Hasson
Bridesmaid
Lexi and Paige met while working together at Pizza Planet in Disney. They were covered in Caesar salad dressing and homesick. Paige asked if Lexi wanted to go to Cracker Barrel after work and from that moment on, she knew they would be best friends. Here they are 6 years later and Lexi is so excited for Paige to be standing by her side.
Matty Thomas
Groomsman
Matty is Simon’s oldest friend. Their moms were introduced shortly after the Kinderknecht family moved to Middletown, Maryland - both expecting boys after having three girls. Because of this, Simon and Matty have been friends their entire lives. Matty has always loved planes; He taught Simon how to fold a paper airplane, he introduced Simon to Microsoft’s Combat Flight Simulator, and he remained friends with Simon after Simon got his toy plane stuck in a tree behind the Kindergarten. Fast forward more than a few years and Matty was able to take Simon flying for the first time. He is now a fighter pilot in the US Navy. From late night in the basement playing Halo, all the way to Switzerland and Paris, Simon is grateful to have Matty present for another major milestone.
Chelsea Turner
Bridesmaid
While Lexi knew Chelsea in elementary school, they didn’t really become friends until their freshman year of high school. Chelsea and Lexi were partners-in-crime through high school and after, they both went to college at UT. They have seen each other through the best and worst of times and are still the best of friends.
Trenton Wright
Groomsman
Simon and Trenton met at Nissan when Simon began working in Product Planning. Trenton took Simon under his wing, getting him up to speed and tolerating days worth of stupid questions. At the office, many of their coworkers have a hard time telling them apart, and often call them by the other’s name. From hot chicken at Bishops, to work trips to Canton, Trenton has always been a positive influence and encouraged Simon in his career and personal life. We don’t get to choose our coworkers, but some are blessed to find their best friends at work. #poocrewforlife
Haley Robinson
Bridesmaid
Haley is one of Lexi’s oldest friends. They met in 3rd grade and would ride to and from school together every day. A fun fact about them, they are the originators of carpool karaoke. Every morning, they belted out Martina McBride and Shania Twain while playing the highly-skilled leg guitar. Over the years, they've remained the best of friends and Lexi is so thankful for their 20+ year friendship.
Lee Delulio
Groomsman
Simon and Lee have been friends since Elementary School, first meeting on the Lacrosse field. Lee was indirectly a major influence in Simon’s relocation to Tennessee. It all started one day after High School when Lee picked up Simon in his Dodge Durango with a new “instrumental beats” playlist. From there, Simon and Lee gained a reputation around school for free-style rapping pretty much all the time. Lee’s love for old-school Hip Hop inadvertently led Simon to pursue a degree in audio engineering, moving to Murfreesboro to join the recording industry program at MTSU. Simon’s music career was cut shorty by reality, but in some small way, Lee is responsible for Simon being in the right place at the right time to eventually meet Lexi.
Gracie Boyd
Bridesmaid
Lexi has known and loved Gracie since the day she was born. Lexi has watched her grow into the smart, loving, and beautiful person she is today. She knows that Gracie will be killing it on the dance floor and teaching the bridal party TikTok dances, but most importantly she’ll be by Lexi’s side on the big day!
Andrew Molnar
Groomsman
Simon and Andrew met at Nissan when Andrew was an intern in the Product Planning department. Since then, Simon and Andrew have become good friends outside of work, despite Simon’s fireworks mishap at Andrew’s Bachelor Party in 2020. Andrew and Simon spent a lot of time working together planning the new Frontier program, and traveled across the country together on multiple work trips. It’s an honor to have Andrew alongside Simon on this momentous day.
Lilly Boyd
Bridesmaid
Lilly is Lexi’s fun-loving cousin and sister to Gracie. Lexi would like to think that she’s responsible for her excellent taste in music, but Lilly is cool all on her own. She’s so fricken’ excited to have her stand by her side!
Andrew Perez
Groomsman
Andrew and Simon met through a mutual friend in 2018 and have been close friends ever since. In June of 2018, Simon, Andrew, and two other friends took a memorable trip to Myrtle Beach, SC. On that trip, Andrew was introduces to his now wife, Abby. Simon was a part of their big day in 2021 at the same wedding venue where he will marry Lexi. Andrew is one of the most genuine, kind spirited people, and it is an honor to have him be a part of Simon and Lexi’s big day.
