Libby & Tommy
Wedding Party
Rachel Sullivan
Maid of Honor
Rachel and I met at Penn State in 2017. She was my late-night library study buddy, and across the street neighbor. We spent many girl's nights together doing face masks, eating a PB&J, drinking wine, and singing movie soundtracks together. Rach is currently living in Philly while in vet school at UPenn, but we've always made time for each other. Rach is my best friend and the most selfless person I know. I couldn't picture this special day or my life without her. When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: animals, Penn State, Philly, and red wine.
Caroline Cipriani
Bridesmaid
Caroline and I met at Penn State in 2017. At first, we seemed like an unlikely duo but quickly we became inseparable. Caroline and I spent many nights in her apartment watching movies, drinking wine, and talking about everything under the sun. Our friendship is the definition of "no questions asked." On a weekly basis, we easily spend a few hours together on the phone and never run out of things to talk about. Caroline is someone I've always been able to confide in and open up to. I could not imagine celebrating this new chapter of my life without her. When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: her puppy Olive, Penn State, Italian food, and the new house she bought.
Cass Read
Bridesmaid
Cass and I met at Penn State in 2017 and she has always been someone I've been able to talk to about anything. Her iconic "hey buddy" is something that I look forward to every time we talk. Our friendship is built on honesty and we are not afraid to say the hard truth. I can't wait to spend this new chapter of my life with her by my side. When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: Penn State, her dalmation puppy, and nursing.
Liz Casserly
Bridesmaid
Liz and I met at Penn State in 2017 and quickly formed a close friendship. We spent many nights bar hopping together, but The Phyrst will always be home. I could always count on Liz to go out on a school night, and also help me pass my math classes. Since graduation, Liz has come to Nashville quite a few times and we always have a fun night together. I can't wait to finally go to NC and visit her new place! When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: Charlotte, NC, Penn State, and engineering.
Gabby Reiman
Bridesmaid
Gabby is my oldest friend. We met back in 2011 during our freshman year of high school in Mrs. Little's homeroom and have been inseparable ever since. Over the past 10 years we have made countless memories and even though she went to Pitt I'll always love her. Whenever I come home for the holidays, her house is one of my favorite stops- I love seeing her family and her fiance Carter. Gabby and I truly have grown up together and it's crazy to see how much our lives have changed- but our friendship has always stayed the same. When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: teaching, her multiple dogs, and her recent engagement.
Jess Attieh
Bridesmaid
Jess and I met in high school around 2013 and she quickly adopted me into her family. I used to love spending time with her family because they made me feel like I was part of their family. Her family is so generous and loving and always made the best food. Jess' mom and my mom used to watch the high school volleyball games together, and I know that's a friendship my mom cherished. I can always count on Jess to push me harder in the gym, make me laugh, and cook me breakfast when I come home for the holidays when the power goes out at my parent's house. When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: physical therapy, fitness, and volleyball.
Jen Rabon
Bridesmaid
Jen and I met after the Nashville tornado through a mutual friend, and have quickly become a dynamic duo. Jen is extremely loyal and I can always count on her to bring the best dessert to any party. I love spending time with Jen and her husband Josh at fight nights, backyard BBQs, and double date nights. Jen is a great listener, an amazing friend, and someone I can always count on to finish a bottle of wine with at girl's night. I was honored to be a bridesmaid at her wedding in September 2021. When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: her recent marriage, her dog Tank, and living in Nashville.
Andrea Linquist
Bridesmaid
I met Andrea at a mutual friend's house here in Nashville a few summers ago. Andrea and I have bonded over similar family experiences, but also our love for fitness. I love spending time with Andrea, her husband Cole, and baby Blakely. Andrea is outspoken and always just says it how it is, which is one of my favorite qualities of hers. I can always count on Andrea to walk with me to Starbucks, party on Broadway, or eat Chinese and drink wine at girl's night. Andrea is the life of any party, so watch out for her on the dancefloor! When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: her baby Blakely, her recent marriage, and living in Nashville.
Giovanna Mangino
Bridesmaid
Future wifey of Tommy's best friend Alex- G and I have become very close over our many Bota boxes, scary movie nights on the back porch, and watching our pups play together. G and I actually lived together during COVID and spent our days working out, going on a run ( yes just 1), and eating lots of pasta. G's laugh is infectious and I absolutely love that her and Alex live down the street. When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: her Jan 2023 wedding, living in Nashville, her dog Josie, and all things Nashville hot chicken.
Hannah Orth
Bridesmaid
My almost Irish twin- Hannah and I went to Penn State together and spent many nights watching Netflix in my house. Through it all, we've always been able to support each other and be there for each other. When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: nursing school, makeup, and food.
Gill Carroll
Bridesmaid
Gill and I have always had a special bond and have been very close. I love spending time with Gill and her son Clay. She welcomed me into their family with open arms and has always made me feel like I was part of their family. I am so lucky to have the best sister-in-law ever! When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: her son Clay, her wedding coming up, and dentistry.
Tara LaFevor
Bridesmaid
Tommy's oldest sister and someone I have always enjoyed spending time with. Whether it's a beach vacation, brunch, or thai food with their family Tara brings life to any party. Watch out for her on the dance floor! Tara welcomed me into their "crazy" family with open arms and has always made time to see Tommy and I when they're in town visiting. So excited to be gaining an awesome sister-in-law! When you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: traveling, her two children, and her time spent living in Nashville.
Alex Terry
Best Man
Alex and I met during the second phase of Physician Assistant school. We soon discovered that we lived in the same apartment complex and shared the passions of doing whatever we needed to do to pass PA school during business hours and never thinking or talking about school after hours. Alex and I quickly became best friends, helped each other through school, have worked almost the same jobs after school, and now live down the road from each other in Nashville. He is one of the most genuine and dependable friends I could possibly ask for and I'm honored for him to be my best man. Libby and I also love his (now FIANCE!) Gia and their sweet pup Josie.
David LaFevor
Groomsman
David is my brother-in-law. I had the honor to be in his wedding to my sister Tara years ago here in Nashville where he gave me a flask as a groomsman gift that had the inscription "007" on it. This is kinda an inside joke, but basically I've always been pretty convinced that David is not a university professor, but a CIA officer and he just can't tell me (national security an all). Feel free to delve into his life story when you meet him to see why I'm convinced of this. Sorry if I'm diming you out here, David. David has been an integral part of our family since we met him and I'm honored that he accepted my request to be a groomsman.
Justin Siegfried
Groomsman
Justin is my soon-to-be brother-in-law! He and my sister, Gill, recently got engaged (in Fall 2021) and are getting married this October back in our hometown. I have been a big fan of Justin ever since I met him for the first time. He is a genuinely great guy, fun to hang out with, and most importantly my sister and nephew Clayton love him. I am very excited to have another brother-in-law in the wedding party!
Josh Rabon
Groomsman
Joshy boy and I met relatively recently maybe two years ago at a party. We got to talking and realized that we are extremely similar. Libb is super close to his wife, Jen, and all of us hang out here in Nashville frequently. I can't say enough about how great of a guy Josh is and how much I've enjoyed all of the adventures we've been on in the last year or two (we'll fix that shoulder bro). When picking the men for my bachelor party, it was the easiest decision ever to ask Josh.
Cole Linquist
Groomsman
What to say about Cole...where to start!? I love this guy. I think I've known Cole the shortest of anyone on this list, and yet today he's one of my closest friends. I remember when I first met Cole I was puzzled because here was this frat boy looking guy that was legitimately one of the most fun people I'd ever hung out with. I mean he and now wife (then girlfriend) Andrea brought their own margarita ingredients to every party. To this day you'll typically find Cole bringing that or old fashioned ingredients to every party. Since we met I've had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Cole, his wonderful wife Andrea, and their absolutely cute beyond belief little girl Blakely. Cole is everybody's friend, you can't help but love him.
Nick Waite
Groomsman
Nick and his wife Amanda are Libby and I's neighbors and we couldn't ask for better neighbors if we had gotten to pick ahead of time. During one of my first interactions with Nick, we talked about our mutual love for whiskey, cigars, and BBQ and it was clear that we were going to be good friends. On any given weekend you can find us at the shooting range, smoking some meats on our smokers, drinking some whiskey with a cigar, and watching whatever game is on at the time. Fortunately if I get myself in trouble, he's a lawyer so I made friends with the right guy!
Billy Morrison
Groomsman
My man Billy. We met yearrrrrs ago at the same place Libb and I met...TGI Fridays. As Billy would tell you, we didn't care for each other at first. We both thought the other was kind of "too cool for school" until we hung out for the first time and quickly became good friends. I met one of my other groomsmen, Galen, through Billy and the three of us have shared some absolutely wild experiences together. If you want someone to take a shot with at the wedding, here's your guy.
Matt Hughes
Groomsman
I've known Matt the longest of anyone on this list. We met in college when we were in ROTC together and ended up being next door neighbors in the same apartment complex for for two years. We became good friends probably halfway through our time at Penn State and maintained that friendship after graduation. As anyone in the service knows, you move a lot so it can be hard to see people. I was fortunate enough to call that he would marry the girl we met on a beach vacation we went on with some friends years ago. Turned out I was right and by the time of the wedding, they will be early in raising their little girl! I can't wait to celebrate with Matt as we haven't gotten to see each other much these last few years while I've been in school.
Alex Ortiz
Groomsman
Just look at that handsome picture you see above. Alex and I met in PA school as well. We actually didn't really know each other for the first half of didactics, but made up for that time in the second half quickly becoming close (if not very competitive) friends. Alex and I shared the same viewpoint on PA school. Whereas much of our class would end our 8 hour learning days by heading home to continue studying, Alex and I were known to take advantage of the beautiful Riverwalk in San Antonio where we would go for a couple mile run and end that run at our old standby Viva Tacoland (RIP). We would grab some margaritas or dressed Dos XX and settle in with our iPads to quiz each other on content for the next test. We've shared some adventures since then, can't wait for more!
Jimmy Buczek
Groomsman
James (formal) Jimmy (informal) or J Girl Hey (Austin) as he remains in my phone became quick friends in PA school phase one where we met in San Antonio. Jimmy and I sat next to each other all 16 months, were in study group together with our other buddy Oscar, and when I could convince him to stop studying or doing yard work, we would tear down the city in San Antonio every now and again. As an Army reservist, Jimmy helped me understand the active duty and in return I helped teach him some of the course material in infantryman terms (only our military attendees will understand that one). He's always been a great friend, recently got engaged, and is getting married this October. I can't wait to make him be J Girl Hey Jimmy again at the reception.
