Savannah & Andrew
Wedding Party
Annie Turcea
Maid of Honor
Savannah and Annie have been best friends since freshman year at Catholic High. They played field hockey and lacrosse together and went on to be college roommates for all four years! The pair are never too far apart as they currently live in Baltimore three blocks from one another. They share a lot of fun memories and traditions, including an annual New York City weekend every Christmas time since they were 14 years old!
Katie Mitchell
Bridesmaid
Katie is Andrew's older sister. Her adorable five year old son Robby will be the ring bearer in the wedding. Katie and Andrew both share a love for music and a lot of musical talent. Katie has had a lot of fun times with both Savannah and Andrew, including activities like camping, wine festivals, and family vacations!
Carly D'Aurora
Bridesmaid
Carly is Savannah's older sister. Carly has been talking about the wedding from the moment they got engaged, always messaging people on Facebook about her excitement. We probably didn’t even need to send you a save the date because you probably already had it on your calendar. Carly is very excited to have a new Brother in - law. Savannah loves spending time with Carly when she visits her parents house on Kent Island, and they always have fun playing Uno, getting their nails done, chit-chatting, and going fishing with Dad.
Sam Moxey
Bridesmaid
Sam met Savannah in high school and became close through engineering class! Sam and Savannah bond over their shared love of country concerts, fishing, and their goldendoodle pups Pearl and Skippy. They've spent plenty of weekends together out on the boat fishing in Kent island and having fun in Ocean City!
Allison Antonio
Bridesmaid
Allison is another of Savannah's high school friends. Allison's first impression of Savannah freshman year was that she wore a lot of jewelry and she was Italian, both of which are still very accurate. Allison and Savannah have shared many great experiences together, including going to the Grand Canyon together last year.
Matt Blom
Best Man
You know you've got a best friend when you're willing to stand by waiting on every hole of the course as he tries his hardest to make contact with the ball in under 5 swings. Matt also attended OSU ... THE Oswego State University. From Roanoke to Richmond, Matt and Andrew have been each other's trusty (hopeless) wingman, roommate, boxed wine buddy, and friend who's more like a brother.
Jay Vora
Groomsman
A fellow Buckeye, Jay has been close friends with Andrew since attending college together at Ohio State. Hands down, Jay is the life of the party. He and Andrew have a lot of fun memories together, except for that one time he watched Andrew's hometown friend from Roanoke, Shorty, take out an innocent goose with a long drive during Jay's first (and last) ever golf outing. Poor "birdie"... poor Jay.
Mihir Nandkeolyar
Groomsman
"Mihir, you there" is how he will introduce himself to you. Speaking of introductions, it is this special guy who is to credit for bringing Andrew and Savannah together. Mihir introduced them at his sausage-themed housewarming party. And yes, Savannah did bring sausage to the party as well. Buy him a scotch, but be sure to remind him it's an old man's drink and thing to do. Mihir and Andrew have been best friends since OSU and he's now best friends with the happy couple in Baltimore.
Phillip Ellerson
Groomsman
Phillip "Philly Phill" Ellerson and Andrew have been close friends since college. He is a man of superstition and a source of luck for Andrew to have around, and he can back that up. Phillip once remained seated for the entire 4th quarter when Ohio State played Penn State, confident that him doing so was the luck the Buckeyes needed to come back and win the game. They did. Philly Phill and Andrew have a lot of great memories together, including one of attending Philadelphia's biggest Bowl events ... "Wing Bowl". Luck charm, avid buffalo wing sports fan, and best friend, Philly Phill.
Michael Sheffer
Groomsman
Michael and Andrew grew up together on the mean streets of Steeplechase in Botetourt County, Virginia. Basketball buddies, bees nest snipers, and amateur lawn mower racing drivers, Michael and Andrew have pretty much been through it all and spent nearly every day hanging out growing up. We're not sure if Michael can still take down a pesky nest of yellow jackets from a 100 yards away with a paintball gun, or lap you on his John Deere, but he's still one of Andrew's best childhood pals to this day.
Derek Short
Groomsman
Derek "Shorty" Short doesn't just have an ironic name, as you'll see. He and Andrew go way back to middle school days where they were football teammates, then friends through high school, and are still great buds today. If you're looking for a golf partner, Shorty is your guy. Just be sure to warn the resident course water fowl.
