Meagan & Russ
Wedding Party
Rachel Terlep
Matron of Honor
Rachel is Meagan's sister and best friend. They've come a long way from the days Meagan tried to kill Rachel when Rachel was a baby and the days when Meagan wanted to die from embarrassment every time Rachel growled in public (she thought she was a cheetah, after all). Meagan could not be more honored to have her little sister by her side on the big day!
Kristin Owens
Bridesmaid
Meagan and Kristin met at Meagan's freshmen orientation for Franklin College back in the summer of 2002. It didn't take long for them to become best buddies, and it's been that way ever since! Meagan and Kristin have made the best memories on their random road trips as well as on their adventures to visit different NFL stadiums. Meagan is so grateful for this best buddy who is more like family than a friend.
Abby Jarrard
Bridesmaid
Meagan and Abby met in 2002 as members of the same Tri Delta pledge class at Franklin College. At first, Abby thought Meagan was a bit much, and Meagan thought Abby was too serious...but somehow the two ended up forming a bond that even multiple cross-country moves can't begin to shake. Meagan can never think of animal crackers, skinny dipping, or roller coaster hills without thinking of Abby, and she can't imagine getting married without Abby by her side.
Mary Zier
Bridesmaid
Meagan and Mary met in 2002, also as members of the same Tri Delta pledge class. The two were friends from the get-go, but Meagan's friendship with Mary was the special, rare kind that ended up growing much stronger after the two graduated from college and moved away. Thankfully, distance can't get in the way of conversations that span anywhere from crafting to dogs to what just happens to be on their last nerve that given day. Meagan considers Mary the most selfless, thoughtful, kind person she's ever met and she knows how lucky she is to have Mary by her side.
Jenny Cataldi
Bridesmaid
Meagan and Jenny met through, you guessed it, Tri Delta! Meagan and Jenny's friendship really blossomed as Jenny guided and mentored Meagan while Jenny transitioned out of her role as the sorority President and Meagan transitioned in. While Meagan knows that everyone needs a responsible, level-headed friend like Jenny, Jenny has also always proven to be a safe space for deep and meaningful conversations as well as the mother to one of Reece's best friends....and the guru of the best restaurants and wineries! Meagan cherishes this friendship that is sure to be life-long!
Robby Curtis
Best Man
Robby and Russ met when Russ moved to Washington and was looking for people to play Dungeons and Dragons with. Russ thought Robby looked like a nice guy on Meet Up, so he cold messaged Robby. Russ's inclination couldn't have been more spot on. Robby's kind heart and giving nature is equally matched by his love for all things RPG and gaming. Russ and Robby- as well as Robby's wife, Sabella, and Meagan- became fast friends. Russ is so grateful to have Robby's friendship and support!
Matt Terlep
Groomsman
Matt was the first member of Meagan's family Russ met and Matt's easy going nature and contagious laugh made befriending Matt come naturally. In fact, Russ enjoys Matt so much that when Matt moved across the county to Washington, Russ and Meagan joined him just a year later! Russ appreciates Matt's sense of humor and his ability to include anyone into any conversation. Russ is happy to have Matt stand by his side on his wedding day, and as Meagan's brother is one of her best friends, she, too, is so glad to have him by their sides.
RB Watts
Groomsman
RB and Russ met in Columbus, IN through a Dungeons and Dragons group. It's hard to not instantly like RB, with his intelligence, dependability, quirky sense of humor, and his ability to play a very sneaky rogue! Both RB and Russ ended up on the Pacific coast in pretty quick succession, and Russ is so glad to have RB close by again.
Tyler Hauck
Groomsman
Tyler and Russ also met through Dungeons and Dragons, as we apparently have yet another trend going here! Tyler is the type of person who could make friends anywhere he goes, and it wasn't long before Dungeons and Dragons nights with Tyler grew into board game nights, Halloween parties, etc. Russ is so grateful to Tyler for making the cross-county trek to support him on this big day.
Reece Boxley
Ring Bearer, in absentia
Our favorite kid in the whole world can't be with us on our wedding day, but we've reserved this role to honor him. When Reece visits again in November, Reece, Russ, and Meagan will have a private ceremony where the finishing touches will be put on their family unity vase. We're so excited to officially become a little family!
Carter Cataldi
Usher
We couldn't imagine a better person to greet you on our big day than Carter! Carter is the son of Bridesmaid Jenny Cataldi and he has the best smile, most contagious laugh, and biggest heart. Carter has been a great friend to Reece and we have so enjoyed being a part of his life and watching him grow.
Elliott Powers
Flower Girl
Elliott is the daughter of Bridesmaid Kristin Owens. She loves walks, baby dolls, and her mama. She is going to be three years old at the time of the wedding, and the cutest flower girl you'll ever see!
Kathy Kominiarek
Officiant
Kathy is Meagan's aunt who has always served as a wonderful example of strength, values, and love. Aunt Kathy lives her life unapologetically and gives off a light that is instantly felt by anyone she meets. Meagan and Russ are honored for Aunt Kathy to be the person who presides over their wedding!
