Alyssa & Lee
Wedding Party
Lindsey Rohde
Matron of Honor
Lindsey is my rock. She is not only my older sister but my best friend. I look up to her in more ways than one. We share a bond that no one would understand. Growing up we talked about our future and what we wanted for our families. She gifted me with the most beautiful nephew & I am obsessed with him. She is one of the strongest people I have ever met. She's been there for me whenever I need her with a bottle of wine & all the junk food I could ask for. I could not have asked for a better older sister than Linz!
Kelsey Kusch-Vargo
Bridesmaid
Kels & I have been best friends for about a decade, but have known each other for much longer. We are the weirdest people together. From being the evil girls on the soccer field to watching her beat records at Adrian in Hockey, I've loved our time together. She is one of the hardest working, most genuine people I've ever met. She definitely is the sun! She's always down to do anything & I love that about her. She is my fellow swamp demon, my twisted sister, my baffin buddy, & most importantly, she is my person.
Sara Coppola
Bridesmaid
Sara & I have known each other for roughly 16 years. We've played sports together for years. We didn't become close friends until we attended MCC together the semester after we graduated. By then we were inseparable. She is my go-to girl whenever I want to dance. She is always there for me whether it be talking our lives away or binging reality TV shows. I love our double dates with Lee & Mike. Our friendship is something that I truly cherish.
Amy Aziz
Bridesmaid
Amy & I became friends in High School but then sadly she moved away. One night in a math review course at MSU I ran into Amy. We met up the next couple days & it was history after that. We quickly became roommates as soon as we could. Living with Amy was awesome. After a long day of classes, I would just come home & gossip about everything that happened that day. We are always laughing together. She is one of the sweetest friends I have ever had. She also makes a damn good sub!
Jill Konopka
Bridesmaid
Jill is my almost sister-in-law. It is amazing how quickly we became so close. I've known Jill for a long time. In 5th grade I joined a cheerleading team Jill was on in hopes that Lee would come to the games we cheered at. That was when I first met Jill. Fast forward to the past 5+ years & now she is someone I talk to constantly. She is my travel partner, my taco bell lover, my running partner, & one of my closest friends. She has such a sweet soul. I am excited to call her my sister in the near future!
Marissa Schefke
Bridesmaid
Marissa & I met in 9th grade basketball tryouts. We hit it off instantly! We would talk about everything under the sun, especially boys. Our friendship was one of those that was so natural. It felt like we had known each other our whole lives. We don't talk or see each other every day but when we do its like nothing has changed. She is someone who I know if I need to vent, I can always call her. Marissa is an amazing, beautiful person. I am excited that this soon-to-be mommy will be right by my side on my big day!
Nichole McCauley
Bridesmaid
Nichole was my first friend. Our moms met while pregnant with our siblings when my mom was walking down the street & stopped to chat. Nichole & I were together every day during our entire childhood. We were two and a half when we met. We were friends for more than half of our lives. We did EVERYTHING together. We even got Build-A-Bears named after one another. She has made such an impact on my life. I couldn't imagine not including Nikkicola in my wedding party!
Jon Sharff

Lee & Jon have been friends for pretty much their entire lives. They grew up playing hockey together. They were always together in high school. As soon as they were both at MSU together, they immediately decided to room together. They were always talking about sports. Once they both graduated from MSU, they started taking trips to see their teams play, started their gambling partnership & they are even going on their 3rd year as Detroit Lion's season ticket holders together.
Louis Schanta
Best Man
Lee & Louis have been friends since they met in 8th grade catechism. They love to go on the boat together and just jam music. Both of them are party animals. Always staying up late and ALWAYS laughing together. When the two of them are together, you never know what is going to happen.
Mike Koptyra
Groomsman
Lee and Mike have been friends since middle school through a mutual friend. They quickly became close and joined a bowling league together in 8th grade. Their friendship didn't stop there! They love to golf together, watch cricket, and win fantasy baseball championships. They are known as Magic Man and El Diablo.
Shawn Hoffman

Lee and Shawn met way back in preschool. Lee was dressed as a cow and Shawn was dressed as a cat. They played hockey together for years. They were carpool buddies, where they loved to get into trouble. Mountain biking is another interest that they share. They roomed together their freshman year of college and continued to room together until they both graduated to become nurses.
Ryan Grafinski

Lee met Ryan freshman year of high school. Lee and a few other friends made Ryan do the chicken dance at the freshman year homecoming and they have been best friends ever since. The two of them have a very brotherly bond where they give each other crap and joke around. They love to hang around the house and watch hockey or play call of duty together.
Matthew Swarthout
Groomsman
Matthew is one of my twin brothers. We are the home bodies of the family. Always love to sit and relax, usually with some kind of food in front of us. Lee and Matthew both share an interest in gambling and playing keno. They love to be at the casino. They both love having a glass of captain Morgan and coke together, where they just talk about sports. Lee is excited to gain a brother!
Michael Swarthout

Michael is my other twin brother. We are both the weirdos of our family, always saying and doing weird things. We never care what we are doing or who is around, we are just being ourselves. Lee and Michael share a love for sports. Always talking sports, and he even got Lee interested in watching soccer on TV. They both love to party and have a good ol' time. Lee is excited to gain another brother!

Tommy Twardecki
Officiant
Tommy has been a part of Lee's family for many, many years. They grew such a strong bond with one another. Eventually, Tommy joined Lee and I at Michigan State. That is where our relationship began. The three of us were inseparable with one another. We couldn't think of a better person to officiate our special day!
