Meghan & Blake
Wedding Party
Amanda Gallagher
Maid of Honor
Amanda is my sister, best friend, and trusted confidant. She has always been there for me through thick and thin with a level head and warm heart. Don't let the cool temperament fool you, if she's got a bottle of champagne in her hands you better believe she'll make it rain.
Dalton Combs
Best Man
After meeting in Mrs. Phillips’ 5th grade class, we spent nearly every day together throughout middle and high school playing sports, Madden 2004, making YouTube videos, and eating popcorn and his mom’s famous cookies. I can always count on Dalton for sound advice and no matter how much time passes between seeing each other we always pick right back up with the laughs.
Mary Margaret Gallagher
Maid of Honor
Mary Margaret is my youngest sister, another best friend, and was also my roommate for the years I dated Blake. She has always been there for me to listen to my stories, gripes, and gushing. I'm excited to lean on her creative mind throughout our wedding planning!
Nick Cranny
Best Man
I met Nick through Dalton in elementary school and soon were best friends. We both attended Iowa and lived together from freshman year through the first 3 years after graduation when we lived in Chicago, totaling over 7 years! Nick was an awesome roommate but a much greater friend. He's always game for some fun and keeps the laughs coming non-stop.
Hannah Shaffer
Bridesmaid
When I think of compassion I think of Hannah, Blake's younger sister. She is the most selfless person I know, which she has awed me with time and time again. Her confidence in herself and what she knows to be right is inspiring. Her dance moves, which you will soon see, are also inspiring (from what I've seen from other wedding photos at least)! Can't wait to be sisters-in-law!
Austin Weisinger
Best Man
Just like Nick, I met Austin through Dalton in elementary school and were best friends throughout high school and roommates in college. Austin will tell you otherwise, but even as a former all-state wrestler I could still take him. Austin takes a genuine interest in you and is the one to get the party started and keep it going.
Haley Shaffer
Bridesmaid
Haley is Blake's youngest sister who has been so kind and welcoming to me since day one. She has the ability to tell stories that will have you laughing, not only throughout her explanation but, every time you think back on it. I'm so lucky to be gaining a sister-in-law that is so talented, spirited, and beautiful.
Ryan Gallagher
Groomsman
While he may be the youngest of Meghan's siblings, he can certainly hold his own with his three older sisters. Ryan is very insightful and intelligent and I always appreciated his curiosity. I look forward to gaining a brother and sharing some good times over a few beers.
Suzana Bjelopetrovich
Bridesmaid
Suz and I met in preschool and remained best friends over every year after that. She's my ride or die and has always been down to have a good time wherever we were and whoever we were with. Find her on the dance floor Gettin' Jiggy Wit It all night long!
Dan Freese
Groomsman
After meeting during one of my internships, Dan eventually recruited me to JLL where we worked together for a few years. Other than teaching me a ton in my professional career, Dan has taught me many other important things such as recognizing and appreciating a good old fashioned and “obscure” bands and concerts. Dan is always around to lend an ear and is always up for keeping the party going.
Colleen Ward
Bridesmaid
Colleen and I grew up together and spent many years on a basketball, softball, or volleyball court. Then many more years hanging out in our basements. apartments, and most recently her house. Colleen radiates positive energy and always makes you feel special. Her and her husband, Brian, are one of a kind and role models for what I believe marriage to be.
Ben Holub
Groomsman
Between playing snow football in his driveway, shooting off fireworks (accidentally at the neighbors' houses), and going to the pool in the summer, we were always up to some new adventure from middle school all the way through college. Ben is one of the most genuine guys I know and we always have a ton of laughs when we get together.
Erin Nuccitelli
Bridesmaid
WE ARE! Penn Staters and proud of it! Erin was my first friend in college and I am so glad she asked for my number after our WEPO (Women in Engineering Program Orientation). Although Erin and I have lived across country since graduation we have remained close and lucky for me she is moving to CHICAGO in the fall!
Ryan Hubbell
Groomsman
I met Ryan in middle school and we had a lot of great times throughout high school, including starting a rap group. One of my favorite college memories was visiting Ryan in Louisville where he was playing football. Ryan has a very laid-back attitude and a dry sense of humor that is always fun to be around, and he is my favorite rapper that I know personally.
