Matron of Honor
Please meet the wonderful Matron of Honor, Felicia! Felicia and Kippy have been friends since they were very little. They grew up riding together and their mutual love for horses has led to endless adventures over the years. Kippy had the incredible honor of standing by Felicia's side as her Maid of Honor for her wedding in 2020. Now we will gather again 4 years later and with the rolls reversed!
Maid of Honor
Everyone, meet the much beloved Maid of Honor, Kate! Kate and Kippy were college equestrian teammates, and more importantly roommates (well if we are being technical trailer home-mates?) in college. Their many adventures in the infamous Slippery Rock Trailer led to an unbreakable bond. From riding, to waterfall chasing, to vacations, to even fox hunting, their friendship is always finding new ways to grow!
Bridesmaid
You know how you have that one person whom you lock onto as your emotional support human? Well meet Elin, the wonderful person whom Kippy latched onto at Slippery Rock and has yet to let go of! Kippy and Elin sat next to each other in their bio chemistry class sophomore year at the Rock. They have been fast friends ever since, helping get each other through the endless hours of studying at school. Time has put a lot of distance between them (a few thousand miles and an ocean to be exact) as Elin went on to get her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine Degree in Scotland, the distance has never put a strain on their friendship.
Bridesmaid
Meet the first friend that Kippy made at Slippery Rock, Chrissy! If we are getting technical, Chrissy and Kippy became friends before either of them even moved in to their dorms freshman year. They met in the freshman class of 2017 facebook page - both of them looking to join the Rock's equestrian team. A few weeks later they learned that they were living in the same building, on the same floor! Over their years at Slip, their friendship grew and though they moved to nearly opposite ends of the country post-college they remained close. Kippy was incredibly honored to be Chrissy's Maid of Honor at her wedding in 2022. Two years later, Chrissy now gets to return the favor and stand as one of Kippy's bridesmaids on her big day!
Bridesmaid
Everyone needs that one friend that though you have nothing in common on paper, you just click with. For Kippy, that friend is Meg. Kippy and Meg met a few years ago through another mutual friend of theirs. The only common background they had was the fact that they both grew up Pittsford Kids (and hated it) and a mutual love for true crime stories. So naturally they became fast friends. They are the type of friends who call each other just to chat about life while driving, or cooking dinner, or when they are bored hanging out on the couch. Kippy is incredibly grateful for her friendship with Meg and she can't wait to have Meg supporting her on Wedding Day!
Best Man
Oh, Bones... The first day Will started courses at Honeoye Falls-Lima High School (as a junior), he had choir as his first class at a ripe 6:30 am. Bleary-eyed, he found himself at the edge of the tenor section in the back row. Next to him, as the edge member of the basses, was a skinny fellow of the same height. Conversation began, and continued, and continued, and continued... Needless to say, Will had found his best friend within the first five minutes of class back in 2009, and the two have kept-up for nearly a decade and a half at this point. Amidst the shared appreciation for history, music, and adult beverages, they have always found common ground through the years.

*Clicking* with a person, in the sense of immediately understanding and vibing in terms of interests and mentalities, is a rare thing. Chase has been one of those people to Will for years, to the point where when out-and-about together they were assumed to be either siblings or lovers; there was no in-between. For being more than half a country away for almost a decade, while yet keeping-up endlessly, there's something to be said for that sort of friendship.

It's a small world sometimes. Will has known Stefan, and his (now) wife Felicia since high school, but in that era calling Will a "friend" of theirs would be a stretch. People change over time, and Will most certainly did. Fast-forward to a few years ago, where while getting to know Kippy's best friends, Will realized that a couple were more familiar than others. The Napps are some of the kindest people he has known. He even had the honor of joining them for their own wedding in the midst of Covid.

The kindest and strongest people in life might not immediately come across that way. Though quiet and restrained, Richie is full of surprises (especially when things might involve the Buffalo Bills). But it's doubtful whether there's ever been a person so readily willing to give away the shirt off his back, the sweat from his brow, or the last Twisted Tea™ from his cooler than Richie. He has been the one of the best people Kippy and Will have ever known, and happens to be married to the lovely Meghan Lantry.
