Wedding Party
Alexis Salopek
Maid of Honor
Alexis is Ashton's younger sister and her total opposite in almost every way, which makes her the perfect Maid of Honor, right? While she’s low-key terrified that this role involves planning (don’t worry, it doesn’t - her Type A sister has it covered). Alexis has been showing up with love and support in the ways that matter most. Ashton wouldn’t want anyone else by her side, especially someone who knows exactly when to roll her eyes and when to give a hug.
Michael Buckiso
Best Man
Michael is Ty’s older brother, Hunting/Fishing partner, automatic best friend, and Best Man! He’s got the weirdest, yet funny, sense of humor known on earth. If he’s not cleaning diapers, (father of 2) then he’s perfecting a brisket on his smoker, tying flies, or checking his trail cams. Watch out for him when Levels by Avicii comes on during the reception.
Courtney Trumpower
Matron of Honor
Courtney is Ashton's cousin, but she’s basically been her big sister since day one. From giving Ashton advice, to making her laugh, she’s been a constant source of wisdom and love. Courtney is the kind of person who shows up, lights up the room, and brings snacks—and really, what more could you want in a Matron of Honor? Ashton couldn’t imagine this day without Courtney by her side -- more than likely reminding Ashton to eat something and breathe.
Alec Buckiso
Best Man
AJ is Ty’s younger brother, and another automatic best friend! He is commonly found trying to dial in his golf swing, glued to a College Football game, or analyzing the PIAA Wrestling Rulebook. AJ’s energetic personality is prime for a fun time and LOTS of belly laughs. He’s had many nicknames over the years, AJJE, AJBuck, Big AL, Midget, The Mayor, but most important Ty’s Best Man.
Hayley Salopek
Bridesmaid
Hayley is Ashton's sister-in-law and a seasoned wedding pro—seriously, she’s been in so many weddings (including her own last year) that she could probably plan one in her sleep. Hayley brings the fun wherever she goes, whether it’s with her party-starting energy or her expert-level bridesmaid skills. This may be the first time anyone sees her wearing something other than the color pink!
Trevor Salopek
Groomsman
Trevor is Ashton’s brother, Ty’s future Brother-In-Law. Trevor is the life of the party and no tequila is safe around him -- neither is a golf club because he’ll likely sell it, trade it, or break it. Having Trevor as a groomsman means there won't be a dull moment at the wedding...just wait until "Tequila Trev" makes his appearance on the big day!
Sydney Blackman
Bridesmaid
Syd literally stopped Ashton while she was watering her flowers to tell her they were beautiful -- little did she know, she was about to become one of Ashton's best friends. Syd brings the party wherever she goes, knows how to unleash Ashton's wild side, and somehow manages to make even the simplest moments unforgettable. Honestly, life’s way more fun with Syd around. Ashton can’t wait to have Syd by her side on the big day!
Cam Sawyer
Groomsman
(Read this in a southern accent) Cam is one of Ty’s best friends, and even though they are both Citadel grads, they didn’t know each other in college. Cam had a short 2.5-year stint in Pittsburgh but made it all worth it making quite the impression on the entire Buckiso family. He coined the phrase “I like to do 2 things, drink light beer and talk s**t”
Meghan August
Bridesmaid
Meg and Ashton met at a country concert while Meg was stuck on a terrible first date! Ashton's Mom always told her not to talk to strangers, but honestly, Meg turned out to be the best kind of “stranger” you could hope for! She’s now Ashton's go-to concert buddy and the calm, wise voice Ashton count on for level-headed advice. Ashton feels very lucky to have Meg by her side for the big day!
Dan Limetti
Groomsman
Dan was Ty’s next-door neighbor growing up. He thrived off convincing Ty and AJ and the other younger neighborhood kids do mischievous things throughout Timberlake. Dan moved to Charlotte right before COVID and decided to take up Jiu Jitsu. Nothing like willfully deciding to get cauliflower ear at the age of 30.
Mike Trumpower
Officiant
Mike’s response when Ty and Ashton asked him to officiate their wedding was "Can I dress like the Pope?”. That pretty much sums up why everyone loves him. Mike was the first person (besides Ashton’s immediate family) that Ty really connected with, and making him their officiant felt like the perfect excuse to lock him in for more 'wing and french fry nights'. In all seriousness, Mike is one of Ty and Ashton's favorite people, and they are so excited for him to play such an important role in their day.
