Matt & Sara
Wedding Party
Ryan Connolly
Best Man
Ryan is my twin brother and technically older by a couple minutes - which he doesn’t mind reminding me of every birthday! Ryan lives in Toledo, OH and works for The Andersons, alongside our father. He is one of the most fun loving and kind-hearted people I know and if you need a good music recommendation, he’s your guy. I am lucky to have always had a brother and best friend from day one.
Molly Jarosi
Matron of Honor
Molly is my younger sister. She is the cleaner, more organized and most stylish of the McComish sisters. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio with her NEW husband, Cory Jarosi and their adorable golden doodle Gus. Molly works as a project manager for the grocery store Aldi. I love Molly for her huge heart, her ability to make lists (keeping me on track), and for asking me to play on the soccer team where I met Matt.
Kevin Connolly
Best Man
Kevin is my younger brother, and he put up with being dragged to all his older brother’s baseball and soccer games as a kid (I’m sure it was a ton of fun). He is currently working in sales at WTOL, where we actually overlapped for a couple years when I was in Toledo. Kevin is recently engaged to Emily and we can’t wait to celebrate their wedding next year. I can always count on him to be down for a day of board games and breweries when he visits Saint Joseph and I can’t wait to celebrate with him by my side.
Caitlin McComish
Maid of Honor
Caitlin is my youngest sister. She is kind and selfless and spends her days taking care of tiny humans in Toledo, Ohio. She too has a sassy golden doodle (Gussy's litter brother) named Sebastian. She works as a full time nurse, but is an incredible part time photographer. Caitlin is one of the most passionate people I know and I'm so happy she gets to stand by my side.
Matt McComish
Groomsman
Matt is one of the funniest guys I know, and an expert Game of Thrones soothsayer. Not only did we go to high school together at St. John’s Jesuit (class of 2005, represent!) but we were neighbors in Maumee, OH for many a years. Go check him out at Mancy’s Ideal where he is slinging drinks behind the bar. Excellent father to our mini-groomsman, Micah, and future hubbie to my future sister, Nikki. You can find us both cruising Bird scooters across the cities of America.
Nikki Hurtsellers
Bridesmaid
Nikki is my sister in LOVE. She is the wonderful mother of my nephew, Micah and will be marrying my brother, Matt McComish next year. Nikki works at Barr's Public house and can make craft cocktails that will literally blow your mind. She lives in Maumee, Ohio. Nikki is not only my future sister-in- law, but she is also one of my dearest friends. Nikki says her earliest memory of me is playing the piano, belting out Christmas carols, in the middle of summer. I am so lucky to have her in my life.
Erik Jarosi
Groomsman
You will see a lot of references to the Jarosi household with the next couple of groomsmen, and it all starts with Erik. We grew up together going to St. Rose in Perrysburg and playing soccer and he has been my oldest friend in life. He is currently bumming it in St. Petersburg, FL (lucky guy!) with his beautiful wife, Ashley, and charming son, Charlie.
Ellen Searles
Bridesmaid
Ellen has been my best friend since the age of 6. Our relationship started in the hallways of Lial Elementary and on the soccer field for the Greater Toledo Futbol Club. We have been inseparable ever since. Ellen lives across the lake in Chicago, Illinois. She is involved in all things fitness and is currently training for the Chicago Marathon. My favorite memories of Ellen always include laughing until our stomachs hurt about absolutely nothing.
Cory Jarosi
Groomsman
Look for the tallest groomsmen and you’ll find Cory Miles Jarosi. I knew Cory when he was just a little guy, but at some point hanging out at the Jarosi house he became one of my best friends. We played lacrosse together a couple seasons at University of Toledo (even though I was very much graduated from college) and we made too many (fun) trips to The Ohio State University. It was one the best decision in my life to say “Yes” to his invite to play indoor soccer on a team with the McComish sisters - I think it worked out pretty well for both of us!
Molly Wadsworth
Bridesmaid
Molly is my high school bestie. Our relationship began at Notre Dame Academy where we spent our days in plaid uniforms, gossiping in AP English. One of my favorite memories of Molly is spring break, senior year of high school when I went to Hilton Head, South Carolina with her and her parents (my Ginloo and Schmoz!). Molly lives in Washington DC with her hilarious husband, Drew.
Phil Schaub
Groomsman
Maybe the one person who was at the Jarosi house more than I was, Phil unsurprisingly became a close friend. Together with his wife, Kelsey Schaub, they both are traveling physical therapists who graduated from The Ohio State University… meaning, I never have any idea where they are living. Two of the most amazing people I know, wherever and whenever we meet up it’s like we’ve never been apart. When I can track him down, we are typically going off-trail during our hikes around Seattle and Santa Fe. Thank you, Kelsey, for putting up with our tomfoolery!
Christine Loftus
Bridesmaid
Christine "tine" barreled into my life during PT school and it's been a whirlwind ever since. She introduced me to the Moonshadow tavern, took me to my first CORTACA football game, and supported me during my grad school wine connoisseur days. I can always count on Christine to keep me up past my bedtime and listen to my woes, no matter how small. This girl is a true friend. Christine works as a physical therapist in Arlington, Virginia.
Bart Thompson
Groomsman
I met Bart at St. John’s Jesuit High School. Although he was younger than I was, we both played lacrosse and were part of the rowing team. After high school, we bonded over mutual athletic interests and a common sense of adventure. Together with Bart and a group of friends, we did multiple charity bike rides across Michigan from Ann Arbor to Harbor Springs. You might also find us snowboarding at Nubs Nobs or Colorado. Our friendship continued to grow while we were both coaching high school rowing in Toledo (Bart coached St. John’s and I was coaching Notre Dame Academy). Bart is currently the Head Rowing Coach at Adrian College.
Cella Mughetti
Bridesmaid
Cella "Banana" is another Ithaca made physical therapist living in Binghamton, New York. During PT, school her parents lived close so we spent many nights at their house eating wood fired pizzas or whatever else Denise and Mario Mughetti shoveled into our mouths. You can thank Cella for helping me show up on time, dress appropriately (jean skirts are back in, just saying), and remember where I put my cell phone and keys during PT school. She may only stand 4'11" tall, but her sassiness and generosity are the size of Lebron James.
Jose Gonzalez
Groomsman
If you took a snapshot of Saint Joseph on a random day there’s a good chance you would find me chilling with Jose. After moving knowing absolutely no one, it has been an absolute blessing meeting Jose and having him become a huge part of my life - it definitely helps that Sara has found an equally great friend in Jose’s wife, Heidi! He is a counselor and sex therapist in Berrien Springs, amazing father and husband, and has one of the kindest souls I have met. Originally from New Jersey, I’m glad he found his way to Saint Joseph.
Heidi Gonzalez
Bridesmaid
I was incredibly fortunate to meet Heidi when I moved to Saint Joseph. She started as my PT co worker but immediately transitioned into my tried and true confidant. She introduced me to Crossfit and Sammy's Arepas and I introduced her to wine and "The Bachelor." She lives a couple streets over from us with her husband, Jose and their two children Levi and Arianna "Squish." Most Saturday nights you can find us playing games or watching movies at their house, eating our standard meal of steak, kale salad, sweet potatoes, and wine.
Sam Stulberg
Bridesman
Sam "Sammy Soccer" Stulberg. As my (Sara's) cousin, we spent our Falls on the soccer field and Summers in Chautauqua. He has literally been a part of my life since day one. Sam came to visit me in PT school, during our biggest sporting event of the year (#CORTACA). It was then that I introduced him to my PT bestie and roommate, Murph. Five years later Murph and Sam got married and he made one of my closest friends part of my family. I am forever grateful for my best Bridesman. I love Sam for his passion for Southern Tier beer, his warm heart, and his ability to tell a story without an end.
Caitlin Stulberg
Bridesmaid
Caitlin "Murph" "Murphin" "Smurph" Stulberg. Our friendship started as random roommates and partners in our cadaver lab in under grad. That summer we fought a bat in my room at 3 am, watched our other roommate (s.o. to Joe Gavin) almost burn the house down, and studied the brachial plexus until our eyes fell out. We stayed roommates and best pals throughout PT school. Murph has always been my go-to study buddy, workout partner, and fellow Wednesday night wine drinker. Last year she married my cousin and BRIDESMAN Sam Stulberg, so she's stuck with me for life. Murph and Sam live in New York City with their trusty side kick/beagle Cooper.
Micah McComish
Mini-Groomsman
Micah is my 6 y.o. nephew. Not only does he have the coolest parents, but he also posseses the greatest moves on the dance floor. Micah is a huge fan of Sour Candy Taste Tests, "The Aunts" (Cheech, Moo, and Sam), and playing video games with his dad.
