Wedding Party
Lauren Gastgeb
Co-Maid of Honor
Most likely to: Be mistakened as twins because we are less than 13 months apart in age. From birthdays to clothes, we’ve shared it all and I’m so excited to share my big day together!
Mitch Settino
Best Man
Most likely to: Cry During Their Speech. Mitch and Mason are similar in many ways; they’re both bad at golf, and they both outkicked their coverage with the ladies in their lives. Mason was Mitch’s Best Man and sniffled his way through his speech, so Mitch crying during his speech is a guarantee.
Angelina Baroffio
Co-Maid of Honor
Most likely to: Tell the story of how we met 100x through the night. Shout out to Mrs Baroffio for making AJ sit next to me on our first day of Kindergarten! It turned into 20 years of friendship and counting.
Cody Gross
Groomsman
Most likely to: Take the Aux Cord During the Reception. Despite not living together since college, Cody and Mason have remained as close as ever via weekend trips, FaceTimes, and sharing disdain for Penn State football. At the wedding, you will find Cody near the DJ booth asking to play a song off of his playlist.
Tori Mascetti
Bridesmaid
Most likely to: Be the life of the party! Tori is by far the friendliest and sweetest person I know. She was one of the first friends I made at Penn State and we never let distance get between us!
Danny McGrath
Groomsman
Most likely to: be Cracking Jokes the Entire Ceremony. Danny is one of the funniest people Mason knows and can always get a big laugh. Mason can always count on Danny to laugh at his jokes even when Kelly doesn’t think Mason is being funny.
Meg Hahey
Bridesmaid
Soon to be Kaufman! Most likely to: Reminisce on the old days. We went to middle school through college side by side! Our moms are best friends too which gives us a good glimpse into what our future holds! (Which is apparently texting during Steeler games about how stressful being a fan is)
Nate Walborn
Groomsman
Most likely to: Have the Best Story from the Wedding Weekend. Nate is one of most interesting and fearless people that Mason knows. He is always up for anything which often leads to entertaining stories and memories later on.
Katie Malloy
Bridesmaid
Most likely to: Cry from 7 am til 2 am on wedding day. Katie is such a genuine friend and isn’t afraid to show her emotions. Katie was crying before she even fully walked into the engagement party and we wouldn't expect anything less!
Tyler Shott
Groomsman
Most likely to: be 1st on the Dancefloor. Tyler is a magnet for fun and cheerfulness which is a big reason why he is one of Mason’s oldest friends. He will undoubtedly be sporting 2 things all weekend: a craft beer & a positive attitude.
Lyss Siwik
Bridesmaid
Most likely to: Be in sync with the bride. We met while cheerleading in 4th grade and finally had to be separated because all we did was talk. To this day we haven’t stopped talking, we are so similar and always on the same page!
Mike Katz
Groomsman
Most likely to: Leave the Wedding with New Friends. Mike is like a Golden Retriever: He’s likeable, funny, and you can’t help but love him even when he steals your clothes or food from the counter. Mike is incredibly friendly and makes an impact on everyone he meets.
Paige Settino
Bridesmaid
Most likely to: Beat everyone in cornhole at cocktail hour. Paige is known for her athleticism amongst all of her other amazing qualities! Paige and Kelly vs Mitch and Mason never gets old
Brian Thalman
Groomsman
Most likely to: Be Spotted at the Cookie Table. Brian is very passionate about 2 things: The Pittsburgh Steelers, and good food. Mason and Brian have spent countless hours defending Mike Tomlin and Big Ben while enjoying the finest food Pittsburgh has to offer.
Jill Marzo
Bridesmaid
Soon to be Biondo! Most likely to: Sneak her dog into the reception. Our fiancé’s being friends made us close but our daughters becoming best friends made us even closer!
Joe Biondo
Groomsman
Most likely to: Talk Mason Out of Doing Something Embarrassing. Joe is the reliable friend that Mason goes to anytime he needs advice or sense talked into him…which is often. You will often find Mason and Joe at a local brewery accompanied by our fiances and our dogs.
Dana Bruce
Bridesmaid
Most likely to: Quote wedding crashers the whole night. Dana is one of the funniest people I know and always has the best references! From early softball days through present day, we have the best time when we're together.
Corey Gastgeb
Groomsman
Most likely to: Have On Their Steeler Jersey Under Their Tuxedo. Corey is as close as it comes to fully embodying the word “Yinzer”. Over the last 7+ years, Mason and Corey have grown close by debating Penn State vs Pitt and sharing their love for the Steelers
Kellee Gastgeb
Bridesmaid
Most likely to: Steal the brides former name! Kellee and I have proudly shared the same full name for the last 13 years. I got to stand by her side on her wedding day and now I’m excited for her to be by mine!
Michael Gastgeb
Groomsman
Most likely to: Give a Spontaneous Speech During the Wedding. From day 1, Michael welcomed Mason into Kelly’s family the way any older brother would; by making vague threats and poking fun at Mason anyway he could. This has continued to this day, and the two have become close friends.
Kaylee Brynlee Averee Gastgeb
Junior Bridesmaids
Most likely to: Be the cutest 3 girls at the party! Mason has known Kelly's nieces for most of (and for 2 of them for all of) their whole lives so they have looked at him as an Uncle for a long time. We are so excited to have them be a part of our big day!
Jimmy Vehec
Officiant
Most likely to: *Nearly* Outshine the Bride and Groom Jimmy was one of Kelly’s closest friends in high school and Mason’s freshman year roommate. We met through Jimmy and we are so honored to have him officially marry us!
