How We Met
In 2018 at 22 years old, we both started working at the same company. I was referred by my cousin and Matt was recruited via LinkedIn. We were post-college grads, and it was a fun environment with people our age. As weird as it sounds, dating coworkers was kind of normal there. We officially met at lunch, and then later at a happy hour where they gave all employees a free drink ticket. Kylie had her eyes set on Matt that night. For a little while we tried to hide the fact that we were dating. But, we left no one guessing when we showed up to the Halloween party as old people and won best couple's costume. After both moving onto new jobs, and a little over a year and a half of dating, we moved in together to Morristown, NJ at the beginning of the pandemic. We are thankful to SHI for one reason only!

Our Wedding Party
Baylee Ryan
Maid of Honor
Baylee is Kylie's younger sister by 2.5 years. For as long as they can remember, they have been very best friends. Kylie has always tried to be the best big sister to Baylee, paving the way for her through life. Now, they are coworkers at the same company and talk daily. Since they were young, and until this day, strangers stop us in the street to ask if we are twins - sadly, no we are not! I am so lucky to have Baylee as a Maid of Honor. Not only is she creative and crafty, but she works as an event planner! It is a win win. It sounds cliche, but I am so lucky to have a sister and built in best friend.
Mat Polanco
Best Man
I first met Mat on the football field our freshman year at Immaculata and have been together ever since. We laid the ground work for a life long friendship through volunteering with Campus Ministry and serving the community in West Virginia. From Rutgers to now, we have always been there to support and challenge each other to reach the next level. "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." There is no idea too far fetched or challenging enough for us when we put our minds to it. Now, fresh off their wedding in September, Matt & Kylie are so excited to have Mat & Krista's support and lifelong friendship!
Katie Whalen
Bridesmaid
Katie and Kylie have been friends for nearly their entire lives. Growing up a few houses away, they met in preschool but became instant best friends in their kindergarten class. The amount of laughs they have shared together is unmeasured. Growing up, you rarely saw one without the other. We were kind of a package deal, and we wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I am so thankful for Katie as a partner in life every step of the way. Growing up with her has truly been a gift. I have cherished every sleepover, bike ride, and crazy night out.
Steve Charneski
Groomsman
Steve is my older brother who has been with me through it all! From Christ the King to Immaculata, it was a blessing to grow up in school and have Steve there. He is a fierce and loyal friend who you'd be lucky to have in your corner. I credit Steve with my passion for sports and love of competition. Thankfully we don't let our New York and Philadelphia rivalry get in the way...we both can agree that we hate the Cowboys equally! Steve is a family first person and we are overjoyed to have him there for us on the most important day of our lives. Looking forward to growing more together!
Erika Cvetkovski
Bridesmaid
It's my turn now, bestie! A few months ago, Erika got married and I had the pleasure of being her Maid of Honor. Now, I get to have her in our wedding. Erika and Kylie met back in the 6th grade. The rest is history! As the years have passed, the friendship has only gotten stronger. Erika is always there for a listening ear and gives the best advice. She tells it how it is, and is the best support system. The future of our friendship excites me, and I know we will have each other forever. You are so special to me!
Michael Yadvish
Groomsman
I’m beyond excited to have my cousin Mike as a groomsman. His incredible talents in film & production never ceases to amaze me. Mike’s ability to bring his creative vision to life is truly inspiring. He is not only an incredible artist, but also one of the most loyal, thoughtful, and supportive people I know. We enjoy long games of basketball, starting up football franchises, and cooking up delicious seafood meals. Having you by my side on this day means the world to me!
Abbey Powers
Bridesmaid
Freshman year random roommates turned instant soul sisters, Abbey and Kylie struck gold when they started at Bloomsburg University. Abbey came into Kylie's life when she needed her the most. The four years that we lived together were some of the best years of my life. Abbey is Kylie's only true friend from college, and that speaks to the bond we created in such a short period of time. Now, ten years later, I cannot imagine my life without Abbey. Even though we are hours away every time we see each other it is as though nothing has changed. Thank you for putting up with me!
Eric Yadvish
Groomsman
New challenger approaching...Eric Yadvish steps in as the next Groomsman! Eric's always getting the friend group together to try a new game. Not just the founder of YadCo and creator of Mycellium, but he’s also been my New Year’s Eve gaming partner for as long as I can remember. Eric currently holds the record for most rides on Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens. I'm so glad I could be there for you on your big day and I’m honored to have you!
Allison Charneski
Bridesmaid
I am so excited to be gaining a sister-in-law! I hit the jackpot with this one. When Matt and I began dating almost 7 years ago, I knew I wanted to become close with his sister. I also knew it would take some time. Within the last few years, Allison and I have become great friends. She is sweet, funny, caring, and sassy (to say the least!). Now knowing that she will be in my life forever, I feel so happy and lucky. I know one day she will make the best aunt. I have no doubt our friendship will continue to flourish. Love you so much, sis!
Nick Wanko
Groomsman
I’m pumped to have my cousin Nick as a groomsman on my special day! From being a metal rocker and chainsaw duel champion to Blurrgin, Nick’s got a personality as legendary as his party skills. He’s always bringing the fun and energy, and is a loyal friend. Glad to have you by my side on this special day and I know it’s going to be a blast!
Allison Brown
Bridesmaid
Allison is my younger cousin by 6 years. We have been close since the day she was born. Holidays have always been so fun with her, but our yearly summer vacations in Maine is what fostered our special bond. We have the same humor, similar interests, and love our sweets! We can talk for hours about everything and nothing at the same time. Seeing Allison grow up is awesome, and having her in my wedding is the icing on top of our relationship. I can't wait to experience more things together!
Ryan Wanko
Groomsman
I’m grateful to have my cousin Ryan as a groomsman. Ryan, your loyalty, dedication, and service in life and in your role with the National Guard is truly inspiring. Don't let him confuse you either, Ryan's 2K game is better than his mortar game. Having you by my side on this special day is an honor and I couldn’t imagine celebrating without you!
