Lacey & Paul
Our Wedding Party
Megan Tommasini
Maid of Honor
I've literally known Megan since the day she was born - she's my niece and godchild! It was a no-brainer picking her to be my Maid-Of-Honor. She's creative, fun, funny, helpful, and most importantly, family. No one can make this a party from start to finish like The Machine! Paul and I were thrilled that she agreed to be the biggest part of our team.
Carol Schulien
Bridesmaid
I've always said that everyone needs a Carol in their life - but you can't have mine! No one has ever had my back like she has. She'll listen to any rambling story and give honest and helpful feedback. Good news or bad news, I always go straight to Carol. She's been there for my highest highs and lowest lows and if this is a real thing, she's definitely my "Friend Soulmate".
Tessa Kinney
Bridesmaid
Tessa and I met in Kindergarten and haven't been able to shake each other yet! Being the best of friends for 30-some years (OMG!), we're definitely getting better as we get older. She knows all my secrets and will be the Mom of the bridal party who keeps everyone in line! After all these years, we're more than friends, we're family.
Alexis Cudlin
Bridesmaid
Lexi is another bridesmaid that I've known since the day she was born - she's Tessa's little sister! Over the past few years, we've become closer through our love of Disney, craft beer, and game nights. We spend a lot of time with Lexi and her husband which always leads to some sort of craziness. She's always up for an adventure...and a shot of Fireball.
Pete Wildman
Bridesman
In the words of Jay & Silent Bob, Pete is my "hetero life mate". We share a love of The Muppets and any hilarious story I tell usually includes Pete and his antics. He's the first person to call if you want to have a good time and he's always full of fun facts (they're never fun). We hope to open a brewery together one day which will no doubt be a hilarious endeavor.
Brittany Freeman
Bridesmaid
I met Brittany in nursing school (one of us actually went on to become a nurse) and we became fast friends. She is a hopeless romantic and I'm so excited to be in her bridal party when she marries her soulmate, Derek in 2022. She's a lover of animals and a super hard worker who has been busting her butt in the ER during this horrible pandemic.
Katie Mastrodonato
Bridesmaid
I'm excited to be gaining another sibling with Katie who is Paul's younger sister! I don't know a brother and sister who are as close as these two and it's always fun hanging out together. I look forward to getting to know her better and having more of her awesome margaritas! I'm so lucky to be joining her family - I better get used to being the short one!
Roman Pocztar
Best Man
I first met Roman when we were both on the same city basketball league. That led to many more basketball leagues, softball, golf, and more beers than I can count. Roman is always ready to watch Cleveland sports or THE Ohio State Buckeyes or just hang out. He’s already become Uncle Roman to Spencer and Sully. He’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and has truly become one of my brothers.
Phil Zeman
Groomsman
Phil and I met in grade school when we were on the same travel soccer team. Our team wasn’t very good, but a great friendship was born. From hanging out in The Mania, to Tootsie’s, to hitting home runs in the same game, to Golden Tee, there is no one I’d rather have a drunken heart to heart with. And we have had a lot of them.
Jesse Durichko
Groomsman
I met Jesse in high school. He was a year younger than all of us, but we all played soccer together. Once we called MTV and got him Made, he was part of the group for good. He is the funniest person I know, and a great friend. Especially when you’re on the golf course in a scramble and “need a good one here, Jess”.
Gary Steinbrenner
Groomsman
Gary is another high school friend, and my son. It’s a long story, but feel free to ask about it because it’s not that long and really funny. Gary is a great friend, and not only because he lets me drink from his great bourbon collection. And pass out at his kitchen table after drinking that bourbon. He’s always there and will tell you what you need to hear, whether you want to hear it or not.
Steve Savino
Groomsman
Steven P Savino AKA Phil Mickelso AKA dolphan. He’s best known for the Savino Sprawl, falling asleep whenever and wherever, usually in the middle of a heated game of Catchphrase. He is also the most loyal friend I’ve known. You know he will be there to make sure everything is ok. And then drink some beer
Kevin Legerski
Groomsman
I’ve known Kevin since high school, when he moved back from Texas. We lived in the same development, so it seemed like we were hanging out all the time. We played on the same high school soccer and basketball teams and then went to Ohio State, where we were roommates for three years. Even though he moved to California and we only see each other a few times a year (maybe), it’s like nothing’s changed when we get back together.
Jason Davis
Groomsman
Jason and I met when we were bouncers at the nastiest and dirtiest bar at Ohio State. Then we were doormen, then bar backs, and bouncers. By this time we were roommates too. Every year, we go to Reds opening day in Cincinnati. And every year, Jason asks if I remembered my pants. He’s funny as hell and a great friend. Oh, and I’m his parents second favorite kid, but don’t remind his sister.
Spencer Gansert
Ring Bearer
Spencer is my first born and the most amazing kid. He is truly my hero and steals the hearts of so many. He has become Paul's little shadow, following him wherever he goes. He loves spending time with our little family and new friends.
Sullivan Gansert
Ring Bearer
Sullivan is my youngest son and one of the smartest, silliest, weirdest kiddos ever. He makes every day better and is super excited for Paul to be his stepfather. He can't wait for the wedding...mostly because of the cake!
Sugar Wildman
Officiant
There's another family link with our officiant, Reverend Sugar Wildman - she's been married to Pete for 14 years! We're so honored to be the 8th couple she's joined in wedded bliss. She's an amazing musician, a lover of dogs (they have at least 5 on any given day as they foster pups), and she has a special skill - she can Chicken Dance to anything. Just ask her!
Vince Cudlin
Usher
Our usher, Vince, got married to our bridesmaid Lexi last year and is the brother-in-law of Tessa, also a bridesmaid! Everyone is related! Vince is a blast to have around on our brewery adventures. He's always ready to listen to the smooth sounds of yacht rock or to buy some great records. If you're looking for a hug, Vince is your man. We're honored to have him escort our moms down the aisle. Gabagool!
