Keara & Jamie
Wedding Party
Tess McAndrew
Matron of Honor
Sister of the Bride and Best Friend for Life We lived together most of our lives, from the same bedroom growing up, to housemates as adults, to neighbors today! Not a single day goes by without talking or most likely sharing a meal. We are truly best friends and I do not know what I would do without her by my side (figuratively and literally). Life is done together in every aspect (definitely co-dependent), and I couldn't imagine it any other way.
Grant Kush
Best Man
Life Long Friend Grant is a good friend no matter how far away we live from each other. A wild child that has been “tamed” in adulthood. Grant is so thoughtful- from dropping everything to fly out for the engagement, to driving 2 hours down the coast to Malibu when our flight was cancelled, to buying baseball cards when we missed an inside the park home run while in line for drinks in Anaheim! A friendship that started with playing little league baseball and travel basketball turned into a lifelong friendship I can always count on.
Kaitlin McGregor
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Groom and Official Family Liasion Kaitlin is Jamie's only sibling. Kaitlin is the Cameron family glue and has welcomed me into the family. We bond over all too relatable internet memes, skincare, the cutest little kiddos, and planning our next gathering!
Jude McAndrew
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride. Food connoisseur. Jude loves good food, something we all bond over. From cooking an extravagant meal at home to ordering the entire menu at a restaurant (or the item highlighted or named after the restaurant - as he notes "it's definitely the best one"), to our continuous pursuit for the best chicken cutlet in Philly- our time with Jude is always exciting, yummy, then followed by a stomach ache from overeating!
Simone Daniel
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the Bride and Co-Founder of the Bad B*tch Club From childhood to adulthood, we find adventure in everything life has to offer. From doing our "taxes" to late nights at the Bog - becoming older has just increased the fun! We have a psychological bond that runs deep as we both exude bad b*tch energy. Just ask us why.
Mike McGregor
Groomsman
Brother in Law of the Groom. Mike has been a part of the family for 15+ years. We bond over shared love of overindulgences in food and cocktails and Philly sports. From weekends smoking meats and watching football games, to weeks at the Jersey Shore, our time together is always memorable.
Marina Daniel
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the Bride and Inseparable Childhood Companion As the last of the 7 cousins, with only a year separating us, we stuck together (attached at the hip) through it all - and I mean it all - sleepovers, barbies, preschool, even bathroom trips. Although we are in different cities for our adulthood, we have visited each other consistently from college (Polar Vortex week and NYC escapades) to the current day (Sahadi's trips and birthday parties).
Brian Courtright
Groomsman
Brother-in-law of the Bride and an official member of our 4-person best friend circle. Roughly 6 nights a week, you can find us with Tess and Brian (and the babies) having dinner, going out, or getting sick off sweets. The foursome is unmmatced - from 76ers games, new restaurants, pizza fridays, chocolate chip cookie hangovers, pasta days, to major life milestones. We do life as a unit. Peep Brian's dancefloor moves - they are exceptional.
Tyler Emery
Bridesman
College and Adulthood Bestie My favorite college memories all surround Tyler. From endless nights of beerball and chesties, "studying together", to adventures across Pittsburgh. My fondness for college is in large part due to my friendship with Tyler. As adults, we live in different cities (trying to change that) but we always make an effort to visit, FaceTime, and play Nintendo Switch online together. I couldn't ask for a better friend, I am truly lucky!
Jeff Bartash
Groomsman
Philly friend, Malone, and wine aficionado. Jeff has been a constant companion and former roommate in "the Malone house", where many nights were spent with extravagant dinners(he knows his way around the kitchen), good wine, and great times. If you want to know something about wine, ask Jeff and he will give you the most extravagant explanation (know it is both accurate and over the top). Most importantly though, Jeff is a great friend we and Murphy can always depend on.
Sabrina Afshar
Bridesmaid
Philly Friend and my Unofficial Stylist Sabrina welcomed me into the friend group when I moved to Philadelphia in 2016. Without her kindness, I would have most likely not have lasted in Philly. Sabrina is sweet, fun, and thoughtful making me instantly gravitate toward her. We have spent MANY weekdays doing happy hours in our younger years, sending links to clothes we should buy, giving makeup recommendations to each other, and traveling from NYC to Philly to visit each other.
Matt Budenstein
Groomsman
High School, College and Philly friend, Malone, and the head chef of the house. "Buddha" is a friend whom you can count on. He is a former roommate in "the Malone house" where his chef expertise would be put to work in frequent extravagant dinners. From basement poker games, to McKee place, to 76ers games, trips, and late nights at Fountain Porter, time with Buddha is fun! And you are guaranteed to eat well. He is also our celebrity friend, as he has been on the Drew Barrymore show twice for his hoagie shop, Liberty Kitchen!
Gina Park
Bridesmaid
Philly Friend and Work Wife Gina and I met in the lobby on our first day at Comcast (7+ years ago!) and said "are you new too?." In one day we went from strangers to promising to eat lunch together every day! Gina is selfless and caring, and we instantly clicked. We quickly moved into "real life" friends and my friends became hers and hers became mine! When I think of my most fun/debaucherous nights in Philly, it had to include Gina. I am officially Keara Imo (aunt in Korean) to her daughter Olivia! Pro Tip: If you try to keep up with Gina while drinking on our wedding night, just don't. I could never.
Andy "Ed" Ritterman
Groomsman
College and Philly friend. Andy "Wild Ed" is a friend from the first day of college, turned college roommate, turned life long friend. He was the first friend to move to Philly after college, leading the way for many of us to follow. Unfortunately he also lead the way with having children and moving to the suburbs. Fortunately he is still close and we love to see him whenever possible.
Madison Knapp
Bridesmaid
College Friend and Forever Confidant Madison was slow to open up in college, while I was extroverted and reckless. We bonded over our shared love of baseball and forcing her to stay on campus for the weekend (Madison was born and raised a Yinzer). Over time, we became best friends with an unspoken understanding that we were there for each other through anything. Although separated since college, we never miss major life milestones. I am officially Aunt Keara to her daughter, Quinn!
Russell Witte
Groomsman
My oldest friend. From pre-school at Kinder Works to adulthood Russell and his family have always been a special part of my life. We’ve gone to different schools and lived in different states but our friendship never wavered. These days he is one of our remaining connections to New Hope. It’s great to be in close proximity and see him and his wife Meera whenever possible.
