Natasha & Damien
Wedding Party
Ashley Lauer
Matron of Honor
Friend of the bride Fun Fact: Ashley will be 9 months pregnant at the wedding, we suggest feeding her cookies and telling her she is glowing. We DO NOT suggest touching her belly.
Charlie Gabis
Best Man
Older cousin of the groom. Fat Bear Week's biggest fan(seriously, look it up.) If you get a chance ask him about Otis, this year's winning bear or his extensive HotWheels collection.
Emily Brenneman
Bridesmaid
Bride's favorite (and only) little sister. Fun Fact: Emily is also planning a wedding. She is set to be married on October 22.
Drew Gabis
Groomsman
Younger cousin of the groom. Drew is super smart and fixes airplanes for a living. He is thrilled to be part of the wedding and even more thrilled we aren't getting married during football season.
Krissy Everetts
Bridesmaid
Krissy and Natasha have been friends since before either of them can remember and in that 28 years they have only accidentally fist fought once.
Gregg Nemschoff
Groomsman
Grad school friend of the groom. Two of Gregg's favorite things are New York bagels and hiking. Fun fact: Gregg is one of Tucker's favorite people on the planet, and we couldn't agree more with Tucker.
Kaici McBride
Bridesmaid
Friend of the bride Perpetually late, but always brings the good times. If you want to know what a heart of gold looks like, just look to Kaici. At the wedding you’ll probably find Kaici on the dance floor being the world’s biggest hype woman.
Drew Klein
Groomsman
Grad school friend of the groom. Chicken wing connoisseur, Pittsburgh’s best whiskey sour maker and all around rad guy. Yinzer accent hobbyist.
Morgan Chase
Bridesmaid
Sorority sister of the bride. Morgan is a Ravenclaw, accountant and one of the kindest people you could ever met. She will be traveling all the way from Texas to be part of the wedding fun.
Stefan Gabis
Groomsman
Younger cousin of the groom Aussie dad who actually enjoys being from Ohio. Stefan is the star witness of Damien’s mooning incident at Snowshoe (ask him about it.)
Alyssa King
Bridesmaid
Younger cousin of the bride Natasha and Alyssa spent their childhood perfecting dance routines and fashion shows, so be prepared for a show at the wedding. Alyssa is a ride-or-die friend who has stood by Natasha through the good and the bad of growing up and becoming normal-ish adults.
Sean Tyler
Groomsman
Friend of the groom A ride-or-die friend, with a caring and kind heart for all helping those around him. Sean will likely be the only Chief’s fan in attendance at the wedding, so go easy on him and don’t ask about the Super Bowl loss
Mara Gabis
Bridesmaid
Older sister of the groom Mara is a die-hard Swiftie. She is in the Top .5% of all Taylor Swift listeners on Spotify. If you see her at the wedding, ask her about how she let Natasha dye her hair pink!
Zach Gabis
Groomsman
Younger cousin of the groom Rounding out the cousin gang is Zach, who when given the prompt for this bio gave Natasha creative liberty, so if you see him at the wedding ask how his training at the CIA Black site is going.
Joe and Sherry Brenneman
Parents of the Bride
Joe and Sherry's love is an amazing example of a Happily Ever After for the bride and groom. If you see them at the wedding, ask them how planning two weddings within six months of each other is going,
Barbara Gabis
Mother of the Groom
Wife of the late Father of the groom. Fan of big belly laughs, sitting at the bar for dinner and always going above and beyond for those she loves(her cats included.)
Tucker Gabis
Honorary Best Boy
While he won't be attending the party, he couldn't be happier that his Momma and Dad are getting married. He heard there will be cookies at the party and volunteered to eat any leftovers. Tucker will be getting all the love and tennis ball throws he could possibly want during the wedding with his best friend and beloved dog sitter, Thomas (the real MVP of the entire day.)
