Bride
Marissa is a lover of family, friends and food. As the love of Ryan's life, she could not be more excited to share this wonderful day surrounded by everyone special in their life, including their son.
Groom
Ryan is a lover of movies, RVA, craft beer, and Marissa. A proud Cudahy, he has told Marissa that he won't tell jokes in his vows...is he clever enough to sneak some in? (No, he is not)
Maid of Honor
Rachel is one of Marissa closest friends and co-maid of honor, since Ryan just HAD to have two best man. They met in the trenches of PA (Physician Assistant) school and have bonded ever since.
Maid of Honor
Lina, Marissa, Rachel became the triumphant trio during PA school. Following those dark years, they have remained close with their travels.
Best Man
Dylan is Ryan's younger brother, co-Best Man, and 20-time winner of Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom (as evidenced by the photo above).
Best Man
Sean is Ryan's older brother, co-Best Man, and travel afficianado (ask his advice on how to best utilize your travel points). He is one of the few to know Ryan since birth, therefore he most likely has the most embrassing stories to tell about him...but we didn't say that ;).
Bridesman
Luke is one of Marissa's oldest friends and they met during their early years of colorguard; 2009 to be exact. They spent many hours performing side by side and creating some of the best memories filled with ugly crying laughter.
Bridesmaid
Nicole is Marissa's older sister (not her twin). They have survived the typical sister squabbles over the years and have remained close. Fingers crossed she will won't share the most embarassing stories from Marissa's childhood...
Bridesmaid
Kaitie is Ryan's sister-in-law, married to Sean Cudahy; yes, one of those two bestmen. Marissa and Kaitie quickly bonded over their work in healthcare and mutual love of wine and great food. Though the Cudahy men brought us together, we have bonded more like sisters.
Bridesmaid
Grace is Marissa's previous co-worker from Fredericksburg. They quickly bonded during their many venting sessions and dark sense of humor. Though they no longer work together, their friendship continued to blossom outside of the work place.
Groomsman
Conor is Ryan's cousin and oldest friend. Almost all of Ryan's earliest memories involve Conor, including when he got his head stuck in a wooden cutout of an apple at four years old (The Cudahy's have infamously large heads).
Groomswoman
Crixell is one of Ryan's cinematic collaborators, and one of his best friends. She is a professional video editor and committed DND champion.
Groomsman
Danny and Ryan met at James Madison University, and have remained close friends. Danny is based out of LA, so we are thankful that he is flying cross-country for our special day!
Groomsman
David and Ryan met through their partners, and have formed a close friendship. David is a committed husband (to Maid of Honor Rachel!) and father, as well as an automotive expert.
Officiant
Greg, who many of you may know as 'Swag,' has not only been one of Ryan's best friends for over 10 years, but has watched our relationship grow and flourish since the beginning. We are honored that he is marrying us!
