Wedding Party

Maggie Risley

Maid of Honor

Sister + bestie of the bride, fellow Butler Bulldog and Chicago's newest resident. Maggie and Kerry share a love for family time, beautiful dive bars and a nice sauvy b.

Dan Teich

Best Man

Childhood friend of the Groom. From football, rugby, concerts, festivals, craft beer and stupid jokes, Dan and Sean have done it all. In all other universes, Sean and Dan are brothers.

Anna Risley

Maid of Honor

Sister + bestie of the bride. She keeps Kerry + Sean up to date on all things Gen Z and loves to share in a good scary movie marathon. She is also Tot's third favorite person.

Andy Sutherland

Best Man

Middle school band drummer (F0B1A forever) and fellow reactive dog dad. No one has more LOTR or baseball knowledge. Andy+Sean+Rock festivals = Happy Place

Ali Gattone

Bridesmaid

Childhood bestie of the bride, Ali and Kerry have played sports and laughed at stupid jokes together since the year 2006. We're hilarious, just ask us.

Alex Markle

Groomsman

Childhood friend of the groom. May actually live in concert venues more than his apartment. Only person Sean will say Rock-Chalk Jayhawk for.

Whitney VandenBos

Bridesmaid

College roommate/long-distance BFF of the bride, Whitney and Kerry ran wild through Butler's campus for 4 years and now commute between Denver + Chicago semi-annually to continue the fun.

Kurt Benjamin

Groomsman

Chicago brought Kurt and Sean together. Fellow dog dad to Lily (ears big enough she heard me say that from Denver). Unapolegetically a White Sox and Iowa State fan even if it crushes his soul. Only person Sean will go on a hike with.

Nicole Kozlowski

Bridesmaid

College bestie/roommate of the bride - Nicole (aka Koz) and Kerry met their first week of freshman year and joined the club volleyball team together. Post-college, Kerry and Koz have traveled to 4 countries together! #GoDawgs

Chris Risley

Groomsman

Brother of the bride. Dungeon Master for the groom. Craft beer, rock bands, and complex board games will be Chris and Sean's downfall.

Cass Goldner

Bridesmaid

Sister of the groom and cat-mom to 2, Cass is our in-house physical therapist and Antimony's favorite caregiver. We'll never know what she went through with Sean as an older brother, but we're glad she made it out alive :)

Danny Lawinger

Groomsman

Childhood friend of the groom. Actually a true rockstar and super dad. Danny and Sean bond over strange metalcore bands that have guitars with too many strings.

Kelsey Heffern

Bridesmaid

Childhood bestie of the bride, Kelsey and Kerry are always looking to further the plot and keep the good times going. Despite Kelsey's many world travels, the two have always kept in touch and share a mutual love for rescue pitties.

David Hartler

Groomsman

Highschool and college friend of the groom. David and Sean share an undying love of the Hoosiers (even when they let us down). David is a travel buddy extraordinaire and on the constant lookout for the next pub.

Adrienne Duhon

Bridesmaid

Cousin/stand-in older sister of the bride, Adrienne always kept the Risley girls in check and led the fun at Mocogni Christmas Eve celebrations.

George Risley

Flower Boy

Ada Risley

Flower Girl

Tater Tot

Child of the Bride + Groom

Although not an active participant in the wedding ceremony, Tot is the light of our lives and deserves her own spot on the website :)

Taylor Sheppard

Greeter

Longtime friend of the bride, Taylor and Kerry used to play travel basketball together and reconnected in Chicago after college. Taylor, Kerry and Sean love a good scary movie night at the Logan Theater + celebrating Halloween year round.

Derek Camp

Usher

Longtime friend of the Bride and Groom. Derek is always ready to have a good time. Sean and Derek's friendship developed over their love of Team Friendship and Pitbull Songs. This military man will make sure everyone gets to their right place come ceremony time.

Sean Resetar

Usher

A Buffalo native, Sean, or as we lovingly call him - "New Sean", has had the pleasure of partaking in Risley family gatherings for a few years despite his football loyalties. We also love his good and cute dog, Rex.
