Cassidy & Seth
Wedding Party
Heather Graham
Maid of Honor
Heather and Cassidy have been friends since before they were even born. Their brothers went to preschool together and the girls naturally have always been in the same place at the same time first by chance, then by choice. They went to pre-school together too and their friendship took on many forms throughout their lives. Their sisterhood-like friendship came with the whole package; from arguing over important matters such who has the bigger shoe size to teaming up over many important matters that put them in the dog house throughout high school. Heather and Cassidy always know all the current gossip from the Kings Grant happenings to the important Bachelor updates. The two cannot keep a secret together to save their lives- spoiler alert. They are a force to be reckoned with.
Josh Yurasits
Best Man
Seth and Josh met as Kindergarten scholars and Josh was the inspiration to Seth's wrestling career at 5 years old. You'll never meet a more devoted chef, infamously known as, "King Daddy Flavor God" for his organic melody of sauces and dishes. Seth knows his place as the sous chef and is proud to be the "Sauce Boss" to Josh's "Flavor God".
Melissa Carroll
Maid of Honor
Cassidy and Mel met as 8 year old girls who were paired together playing tennis during LBI summer tennis lessons. It only took several matches to figure out that this dynamic duo lived only about 4 houses away from one another on the same street! After that discovery, the rest was history! In their younger years, you might have found the two parading on their super cool, trash picked, "pimped out bikes". If you didn't have the privilege, you might have seen the two skim boarding or skateboarding with side brimmed hats in (failed) attempt to impress the local hunks. Or, perhaps, maybe you visited their booming business that funded all of their summer candy and ice-cream indulgences, "Beads by the Bay". Still today, you will rarely see one without the other when visiting LBI.
Phil Marano
Groomsman
Phil and Seth met in the 5th grade at wrestling practice and formed an inseparable friendship from then on. Often the crew would have sleepovers at Phil's house. One particular time, during a huge snow storm, they made the coolest snow tube slope. They shredded so hard that their exhaustion prompted Phil to masterfully negotiate getting the boys out of going to church the next day. He's a real stand up guy- someone you want by your side if ever in a pinch.
Laura Taylor
Bridesmaid
Laura and Cassidy met when Brian (Cassidy's brother) finally brought the family to a JMU tailgate and introduced his future wife to the crew. Cassidy immediately knew that La would be her sister one day after a memorable walk to the Porta Potty together during that tailgate. La and Cassidy are trouble when they are together and no matter what, they have each other's backs- especially if Brian is instigating (per usual)
Brian Taylor
Groomsman
Seth met Brian conveniently as Brian was minutes away from getting married and standing on the alter at his own wedding. Of course, Cheryl couldn't let another minute go by without introducing the two- this was a very important introductory- enough to pause a wedding ceremony. They met again shortly after, doing the "bayou" on the dancefloor. Seth has always been inspired by Brian's gnarly, "mind melting" surf shredding and he's pumped for a lifetime of lessons.
Elizabeth King
Bridesmaid
Liz and Cassidy met in elementary school and were friends ever since. It is likely that if you ever received a prank phone call in your life that these two were the culprits. Also, think twice before believing a word that they say when they team up to tell a story... chances are they're making it up on the fly and looking for the greatest reaction. These girls have zero fun together.
Austin Sommer
Groomsman
Seth and Austin have also been friends since elementary school and met through wrestling. Seth has always had a jealousy over Austin's luscious Auburn flow...especially when he was rocking the "tellum" (for those of you trying to visualize what this hairstyle looks like... spell tellum backwards... the haircut is the complete opposite of that style- party in the front, business in the back). Austin is the glue that holds the guys together and the mastermind behind all of the guys trips. He should honestly be a travel agent... but in actuality, this guy can sell a meannnn spork!
Rebecca Melillo
Bridesmaid
Becca and Cassidy met when Becca moved to the neighborhood in elementary school. The two are always a great time together and don't need a sip of alcohol for one to question their sobriety with their caliber of goofiness- true story. Typically, Becca is the voice of reason, however, if you've ever received a suspicious Christmas card from "Aunt Sherl and Uncle Bert", just know that they were definitely on the same page that day.
Bobby
Groomsman
Bobby and Seth met through wrestling in elementary school but it wasn't until high school that Seth could truly identify how cool this kid was. He drove a blacked out Honda Civic car with rims and a killer exhaust... it was to die for. Seth and Bobby would spend summers playing acey-deucy and black jack. Bobby was always better at those games but Seth still tried his best to impress. It didn't help Seth's coolness caliber when he caught Bobby's cell phone in his bowl of cereal that one day... Seth still owes Bobby a new phone for that one.
Jennifer Thompson
Bridesmaid
Jen and Cassidy have been friends since they were babies. Their brothers went to preschool together and played sports together growing up- the girls were always there to be the supportive "hockey sisters" and likely stunted their growth by drinking entirely too much French vanilla from the coffee machines during those games and tournaments. They also took on a few talents of their own together, including gymnastics and figure skating and constantly found a way to entertain themselves through their endless weird, imaginative ideas. Karaoke is one of this pair's most impressive hidden talents. Seth was lucky enough to witness this friendship in action as the three were roomies throughout the pandemic in Jen's home.
Shane Fenningham
Groomsman
Seth and Shane have known each other since the first grade. Believe it or not, they also met through wrestling and played sports together throughout their lives. Through sports, they were granted the coolest nicknames- "Slip" and "Stick" and sported the numbers 8 and 9 while running the Wing-T all day. They often shared in prayer at CCD every Wednesday that they would improve on their skim boarding skills down the road.
Sharon Deery
Bridesmaid
Sharon and Cassidy met the summer before college on the Salisbury field hockey fields during try outs. The two hit it off instantaneously and their friendship was enough to make Cassidy re-think the whole college field hockey thing... as the brilliant influences they were on each other, Cassidy and Sharon ditched practice and went straight to Ocean City, MD to live their best lives. Chances are, if Cassidy ever got into trouble, this girl was the reason... and also the reason Cassidy got out of trouble.
Jimmy Sheptock
Groomsman
Seth and Jimmy met duking it out in wrestling in third grade. The two were always great friends but nothing solidified this bond like a recent experience where the pair went on a New Hampshire hiking adventure that could have ended in a near-death avalanche experience had Jimmy's brilliant Harvard mind and Seth's instinctive wilderness skills not prompted the two to turn around. They always have each others backs! They also had a very close call on this trip when identifying a monstrous animal's footprint through use of a hiking Facebook group inquiry... thank God it was determined to be a type of rabbit and not Big Foot himself. Also, it is important to note that Jimmy holds the longest record of being "it" in the never ending freeze tag game... wonder when he'll make the next move?
Rebecca Hedden
Bridesmaid
Becky and Cassidy met on an online website (oddly similar to a dating app) as they were navigating who to dorm with as freshman college roommates. Low and behold, out of about 100 questions these girls got a 100% match and Becky was the first to pop the question. The two were roomies throughout college and instant friends. The trio: Cassidy, Becky and Sharon always promised to be a very interesting time- get ready for some good laughs with this one!
Joe Piro
Groomsman
Joe and Seth Met the summer before high school and were inseparable. The two were often confused as brothers. You could find them getting "shape ups" at the local city barber shops or catching a Giants-Bucs game in East Rutherford, NJ. Seth is proud to be the godfather of Joe's beautiful daughter, Peyten.
Madelyn Taylor
Flower Girl
Madelyn is Cassidy and Seth’s adorable 2 year old niece who brings allll the sass to the game!! She is going to be an absolute show stopper and has been practicing by picking Grammy’s flowers at the beach since 2019- she was born for this role!
Mike Wojtaszewski
Officiant
Mike met Cassidy in 2014 during Cassidy’s first year of teaching. Mike was shaking in his boots as he was sure that Cassidy was out to steal his position. As the saying goes, “keep your friends close and enemies closer” - which is exactly what Mike did. Mike and Cassidy decided to go on a road trip that year because Mike had plans to see a friend and Cassidy thought that she could hitch a ride to see Seth at Fort Campbell. The trip evolved into the three camping together in GA, a detour to NOLA and back to Nashville. Through this unusual experience, the three were solidified as friends for life. Mike has been there since the very start and is the greatest historian for Seth and Cassidy’s wild journey to marriage. Should be an interesting ceremony!
Lucy Taylor
Flower Girl
Lucy is Seth and Cassidy’s angelic baby niece and has no idea that she will also be a flower girl.
Bodie Taylor
TBD
Bodie is still auditioning for a role…
