Maren & Ryan
Wedding Party
Megan Russo
Maid of Honor
Megan and I have known each other since the 6th grade. We've been through it all together: middle school, high school, proms, and graduations. We maintained our friendship throughout college and beyond. She is the type of friend that no matter how long it's been since we last talked, I always count on her to still be there to pick up right where we left off. While she will be taking her MOH duties very responsibly, you can expect she'll be ready to have a good time at the reception!
Ross Zimmerman
Best Man
Ross and I became friends when we met in middle school. We bonded over Madden Football games, hilarious comedy movies, sports, and school projects. He is the type of friend whose family is like my own, and vice versa. Although we ended up going to a different high school and college, we never stopped communicating regularly. Ross is extremely excited to be my Best Man and I can only expect his speech to bring lots of laughter!
Ashlyn Ory
Bridesmaid
Ashlyn and I met on Bid Day 2016. We instantly became inseparable after discovering our mutual love of the local rotating sushi bar and MTV reality shows. She is one of the best people I've ever met and the closest thing I have to a real sister. I've attended a couple of her family vacations in Lake Anna, VA and even have a key to her house, so it's safe to say she knows me better than anyone! Be sure to find her on the day of for a good laugh!
Thomas Fitzpatrick
Groomsman
(Yes, he introduced the happy couple) Thomas has been my best friend since sophomore year of college. Besides sharing a last name, we've shared many memories together, including traveling and working within the same company. He is a big time talker, he can pretty much chat with anyone about anything! While he can often be the fun of the joke, he's always had my back and I couldn't be happier to have him standing by my side on our day.
Morgan Starke
Bridesmaid
Morgan was a sorority sister of mine who was looking for a last-minute roommate senior year. Upon moving in together, she (and her bunny, Ivy) quickly became one of my dearest friends. The best roommate I'd ever had, we did everything together, specifically keeping our local Greene Turtle in business! She currently lives in Charlotte, NC and we plan trips to see each other every year.
Reese Petersen
Groomsman
Reese and I grew up together back home in New Jersey. Our friendship stemmed from playing soccer together during our travel team and high school years. He is one of the most loyal people I know and we always make an effort to see each other whenever we're both visiting our hometown. Reese is such an easy-going person, so you can certainly expect him to bring life to the party!
Savannah Sines
Bridesmaid
Savannah and I met during sorority recruitment in 2017 and clicked. After joining, we started going to events and outings together and that's when I realized I wanted her in my life for the long haul! She soon became my Little Sister and we even won the Best Big and Little superlative together. She has the sweetest soul and will likely be found getting the dance floor started with wine in hand!
Michael Woitkowski
Groomsman
Mike is one of my closest cousins. We have many memories together from our family vacations in North Carolina, birthday parties, and Giants/Yankee games. We always loved to play video games growing up and had plenty of sleepovers where we spent our time tormenting our other cousin and my sister! He is an all around great person & I am thrilled to have him as part of this big day!
Nisrine Daham
Bridesmaid
Nisrine and I met in June 2019 when we were both the newest hires of our company's department. After realizing we were the only two workers that don't play video games, we became best work friends. We somehow manage to talk 24/7, and the running joke is anytime I'm laughing at my phone, Ryan doesn't even have to ask what is funny, he just knows it's Nisrine! She is my partner in crime and I can't imagine the big day without her.
Jonny Trappe
Groomsman
Jonny and I met in an English class our freshman year of college. We discovered that we shared some mutual friends and ended up living together with Thomas. We bonded over his art, our shared interest in new music, and competitive drinking games. I've spent the last couple of summers visiting "Trappe Beach" and going out on his boat! I would consider him one of my best and most supportive friends.
Karly Fitzpatrick
Bridesmaid
Karly is not only my future sister-in-law, but one of my most sincere friends. From the moment we met, she welcomed me into the family with open arms. We've since shared plenty of glass clinks and ganging up on Ryan jokes (with many more to come!). She has an infectious smile and is such a caring person. Plus, she loves our fur child, Maggie, and we can always count on her if we ever need a cat-sitter!
Blaine Fasy
Groomsman
Blaine is my future brother-in-law and car question connoisseur. We met in spring 2018 after Maren's graduation ceremony. Known for his quick-wit and classic one liners, he's guaranteed to keep the wedding party going. Like his sister, he loves to laugh but unlike his sister, he actually understands sports. He's such a reliable guy, he knew I was plotting an engagement and still kept the secret from his parents until I could tell them myself!
