Madie & Kevin
Wedding Party
Emma "Q" McClelland
Maid of Honor
Unwinding Cable Car by Anberlin Close friends since 2008, Emma and I truly leveled up our friendship in college when we struggled through Intro to Fiction, binge drinking, and the 245 foot steps between Smith and Aikens Halls.
Victoria "Ma'am" Homza
Best Woman
Teardrop by Massive Attack For most people, you don't need a passport to be friends them, however in this case we did. She not only became my close friend, but my travel companion, my first call for doggo time, and my own personal home decorator and Land-Daddy.
Peter "Hollywood Pete" Alfano
Man of Honor
Bada Bing! Wit' a Pipe! by Four Year Strong I wouldn't call Pete and I reluctant friends. All I'm saying is, I wouldn't be friends with him if he didn't STAB me out of a TREE with two critical failures when we played Dungeons and Dragons for the first time. Thankfully, he's also rolled a critical failure on getting me out of his life.
Chris "Brother" Donaldson
Groomsman & Brother to the Groom
Dracula by Desmond Decker My favorite call to receive every Sunday, even if I don't pick it up all the time. Chris and I could spend hours watching Batman (with Adam West) and Babes in Toyland. Little known fact: his wife has played Cat Woman and is VERY patient.
Hanna "Kween" Tourney
Bridesmaid & Sister of the Bride
Remembering Sunday by All Time Low ft. Juliette Simms Twelve years apart never looked so good! Hanna has been my ride-or-die ever since she swallowed that castor bean seed and had to have her stomach pumped at 1 year old. Since then she's been kicking butt, getting straight A's, and slaying the make-up game.
Michael "Mick" Wunsch
Groomsman
gibe de pusi b0ss by Filthy Frank If you haven't gathered, it's actually Madie writing these, Kevin's direct quote regarding Mick was: "If you're going to ask me for appropriate things Mick and I have done, don't. There are none." Much to his surprise, I DID manage to get an appropriate fact out of him about their friendship: Mick and Kev took French together while they were in early High School.
Julia "Princess" Weiser
Bridesmaid & Sister of the Bride
Gucci Gucci by Kreayshawn She's the only person who I know that can explain different dimensions in mathematics WHILE dancing on the bar before successfully convincing me to get a new piercing or tattoo. Yeah. That's about that.
Ryan "Gurt" Gurtner
Groomsman
Shoot to Thrill by ACDC Gurt and I have a friendship older than Magic: The Gathering, unfortunately it was swiftly banned from 4th Grade lunchtime. We were known to geek out just a little (a complete fucking ton) about Star Wars. If he and I are hanging out chances are that I'm drunk.
Toria "T" Hutchinson
Bridesmaid & Cousin of the Bride
Knock Knock by Mac Miller When she was little she called my sister and I "My Girls," and since then she's always been my girl. Toria is always down for staying up late, Starbucks at convenient AND inconvenient times, and ridiculous selfies.
James "Jimdor" Homza
Groomsman
Home Improvement Theme Song (Remix) by: Artist Unknown You know when you get a shampoo with a little conditioner sample attached and then you like the sample so much you start to exclusively use that conditioner because you find out that it watches the same dumb YouTube videos that you do? That's kind of how Jim and I became friends.
Rebecca "Boo" Hutchinson
Bridesmaid & Cousin of the Bride
Tick Tock by Ke$ha Grandmom's second favorite granddaughter and my greatest competition in life and time. You can always count on Becca to have a smile on her face and be singing a top 20 hit to herself.
Ben "The Main Character" Maust
Groomsman
What A Wonderful World by: Louis Armstrong One day, not too long ago, Madie told me there was going to be a complete stranger and his dog coming over to our house to visit with the rest of her friends from college. It was all terribly awkward until this Grecian god walked into our little house with a fluffy Collie.
Leslie "Brat" Artiaga
Bridesmaid
I Fink U Freeky by Die Antwoord We met in Literature Circles with Mr. Johnson in 9th Grade and she quickly became family, mostly because literally everyone everywhere asked if we were sisters. She moved me out to Pittsburgh and within the first 2 hours we were at the zoo, the place that I would later meet the man of my dreams. Fate, her name is Leslie.
Steve "Fish" Kupiac
Groomsman
Real American by Rich Derringer When I think back on my past with Fish I always remember late nights watching terrible horror movies and WWF. I can also attribute my love for Dragon Ball Z to him, he and I fell super quickly into anime after that. I've never seen his penis, but he may have seen mine.
Nicole "Nico" Amos
Bridesmaid
Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol From street hockey in Layton Park to strawberry cheesecake ice cream on long toad trips. Nicole and I have been best friends since our first Flyers game. She's stuck with me through thick and thin, and that one time where Joe's mom ripped Emily out of the hot tub by her hair for being too loud... ah, good times.
Chihiro "Chichi" & Wookie
Best Puppos
You Are My Everything by Gummy Rescused from Columbiana County, Ohio from extreme rescue situations, they have been nothing short than spoiled rotten since. Just you wait until you see them in the little dress and puppy-tux we picked out for them- omgomgomgomg!
Daniel "The DM" Mack
Officiant
Ain't No Rest For The Wicked by Cage the Elephant Upon meeting Dan for the first time he got punched in the face (thanks for taking one for the team and punching him, Steve!) and then proceeded to torture us through an emotionally grueling D&D campaign which ended in super manly tears. Not only is he one of our favorite humans, but he was the immediate thought when Kev and I discussed who we would want to perform our ceremony.
