Kathleen & Robert
Wedding Party
Kristine Smith
Maid of Honor
My sister, and my best friend since birth! Since day one, she has only wanted the best for me. My mom cries tears of joy when she thinks of the bond we share together because she thinks it's so beautiful. We have been doing everything together our whole lives and I have always looked up to what an amazing sister Kristine truly is. It's only fitting to have her be by my side as I marry the love of my life.
Briana Toegemann
Bridesmaid
We first met at Boston University and even though I was only there for two years, she has remained my friend ever since. I am so grateful for our friendship because it's truly a gift. She was like a sister to me in college and moving forward! Briana is a helper by heart and she has definitely helped me in more ways than I can describe.
Shannon Epifano
Bridesmaid
From catching frogs as little girls to walking our little white dogs at Lake Ariel talking about new exciting updates in our lives together, I am lucky to have a friend like her all these years. Shannon is my cousin, is someone who understands me for all I truly am, and has always believed in me.
Siya Bhatt
Bridesmaid
We went to high school together and shared one class my senior year. I'm so happy I was in class with her because she has been my friend ever since. Siya has been such a great friend to me navigating those teenage years and then getting me out of my comfort zone as we got older and visited boujie places in New York.
Kyra Krebner
Bridesmaid
My new sister! Well, she is my new sister-in-law, but Kyra definitely feels like another sister. It has been so much fun getting to know her while I was dating Robert and we have created such a fun relationship. We both enjoy a nice cocktail and I love going on family vacations with her because this girl knows how to vacation!
Brian Heller
Best Man
I wouldn't be the person or ping pong player I am today without Brian. Since we were just five years old, I've always looked up to Brian and tried to emulate his kindness, generosity, and work ethic. A perfect candidate for best man, Brian has never steered me wrong - except that time he tried to convince me to become a New York Mets fan.
Justin Chiu
Groomsman
Another friend since pre-school, Justin has been part of my life for every major milestone - all the way from little league soccer teams to sharing an apartment during the time I met Kathleen. Justin was the first friend of mine to meet Kathleen and his approval meant a lot to me. I would trust him with anything and it's only fitting to have him be part this milestone as well.
Seth Benzell
Groomsman
Yet another friend from pre-school, Seth has been one of my most dependable friends my entire life. I owe all my knowledge of New Orleans, science fiction, and board games to him, and he has taught me more in the last 25 years than I will ever be able to teach him. I am fortunate to not only call him my friend, but to have him be part of my wedding.
Matthew Osit
Groomsman
Matt and I became close friends in 10th grade and there is no way high school would have been nearly as much fun without him. There we learned we shared many of the same interests like tennis, ping pong, Millburn Deli, and commiserating over being fans of the New York Jets. Matt has been a role model for me ever since and is as reliable as friends come. I was lucky enough to not only be part of his wedding, but to have him as part of mine.
Jonathan Kanelstein
Groomsman
Jon is one of my closest friends from the University of Pittsburgh. He not only helped me countless times with our statistics classes, but eventually came back to New Jersey with me after school and helped me not miss being back on campus. I owe most of my sense of humor and all of my racquetball skills to him, and I can always count on him to turn an average day into a great one.
