Maggie & Matthew
Wedding Party
Zachary Reichard
Best Man
Zach is my brother and I wouldn’t want to have anyone else as my Best Man in our wedding. Zach and I started our marketing agency a few years back, MAZA Marketing, and I couldn’t be happier to finally build something with him. He has always been the person in my life I have looked up to the most and a major influence on me. Maggie and I love spending time with Zach and his girlfriend, Anna Jacobs, whenever we get the chance to see them.
Emily Faustino
Maid of Honor
Emily is my big sister. Emily has always had an uninhibited drive to create that I’ve admired my entire life. She’s the most articulate and the most emotionally intelligent person I’ve ever met. I appreciate her for her wisdom and her ability to offer different perspectives when I need them, even if I don’t want them. I’m so happy to have her stand by me on my wedding day, as I did for hers earlier this year!
Michael Beck
Groomsman
Michael is my longtime friend who has always been there for me throughout my life. We grew up playing hockey together and despite going to different schools, remained best friends and still went on family vacations together. He’s a great fisherman and a hilarious guy that I love being around. His family is like a second family to me and I am deeply appreciative of my friendship with Michael. I am proud to have him by my side on my wedding day.
Julie Roldan
Bridesmaid
Julie is basically my sister and an honorary third wheel of this relationship. Jules and I go back to the cross country team around Junior year of high school, when our favorite pastimes were rapping, playing just dance, dressing up as burritos for free chipotle, and various other largely unpopular things. We haven’t lived near each other in 10 years, but we always manage to pick up right where we left off when we get together. I love this girl so much and I don’t know who I’d be without her.
James Bud McGrath
Groomsman
Bud is Maggie’s brother and he’s incredibly intelligent, funny, quick witted, and has the best one liners. I’m excited to be his brother-in-law and I am proud of the person I have seen him become over the time that I have gotten to know him. I look forward to family vacations and spending time with Bud in the future.
Nicole Michonski
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I met Junior year of high school in Mrs. Beardsley’s English class. We will always be best friends because she knows too much. We’ve got inside jokes that have been going on for a decade now. She is my forever hype man and matches my energy- whatever that may be. When all the girls on Halloween are dressing cute, she’s my right hand man wearing a onesie with me. When I want to bring a cardboard cut out of Obama as my date to prom, she brings Austin Powers. Love you Brolo.
Ben "Aspen Xtreme" Wolfram
Groomsman
Ben and I worked together at a startup and grew to become great friends, despite Ben being my boss at one point while I was there. Ben and I have a shared interest in Washington Capitals, Formula One Racing, and dragging Maggie down black diamonds that we know she can’t ski down. I know I can always turn to Ben for advice on anything and I look forward to going to Caps games and Formula One races with him in the future.
Kasey Reichard
Bridesmaid
Kasey is Matt’s younger sister! I connected with Kasey so easily when Matt and I started dating because she is so fun to be around. She can be a clear voice of reason and she’s happy to lend an ear to listen whenever I need one. But also when I want to bring mistletoe to a Christmas bar in NYC and shake it in between random people to help spread Christmas cheer, she’s 110% down for that too.
Munif Saza
Groomsman
Munif and I connected a few years back and has been one of my best friends ever since. Between bouncing business ideas off each other and playing board games or even Dungeons & Dragons together, Munif and I always have a great time whenever we get together. I feel really lucky to have this guy in my life.
Shannon Benesh
Bridesmaid
Shan and I met in our sorority in college and then went through nursing school together at JMU. There are so many reasons why Shan feels like family (aside from the fact that we have the same birthday!). Something just feels right when I'm with Shan. I'm able to have honest conversations with her because I know she understands me better than most. I feel completely myself around her and If I’m being a “FID”, she’ll tell me. She is the nicest, most inclusive, most selfless person I’ve ever met and I continue to grow as a person because of her example.
Zack Szwed
Groomsman
Zack and I met when we played sports together when we were younger. We reconnected when Zack transferred to James Madison and ended up living with some of my best friends. After hanging out every weekend back then, we ended up becoming close friends, and now enjoy great belgian beers together, bar hopping through NYC, or trying our hardest to be Mr. Fall every year. He’s got an incredible eye for fashion, real estate, and so much more. He is a great friend and I look forward to having beers with him at the wedding.
Shelby Evans
Bridesmaid
Shelby and I were random roommates freshman year at JMU. When I met Shelb, I really admired her for her work ethic, her loyalty to others, her openness and her ability to stay in the present and enjoy a moment. Shelb has played a big part in shaping who I am today. She makes me laugh at myself until I’m crying by how she recounts some of our most memorable nights. She has seen me at my worst and at my best. We have memories from those four years and beyond that I will never forget. I can’t believe that it is a decade later and we’re with each other on our wedding days! Love you Shelb!
Antonio "Tony" Cordova
Groomsman
Tony and I grew up playing on the same hockey teams together until we were out of high school. Competing together and long bus trips to games on the weekends created the friendship that continues to this day. Tony even ended up being my coach for GMU Ice Hockey when I played for a season and we didn’t manage to rip each other's heads off. So that’s love.
Kelli Caputy
Bridesmaid
Kel and I met freshman year when she was roommates with Jordan. Kel has known me better than I've known myself many times. I can talk to Kel for hours and I know we’ll be having the same catch-up calls for years down the road. I’ve been really grateful to have such a good person looking out for me. She is so passionate about the ones she loves; her family and friends are always in the forefront of her mind. We have really grown up over the past several years, but she hasn't lost her infectious energy. I cannot wait to be reunited at the wedding!!
Jacob Braun
Groomsman
Jake and I grew up playing lacrosse together with his dad, Bob Braun, as our coach. We both played defense together and there is a close bond that you need in order to play well and reach the levels of lacrosse that we were able to reach together. I don’t know anyone that is as driven and focused as Jake is in achieving his goals. He is an inspiration for me and I’m honored to have Jake as one of my groomsmen.
Jordan Zavala
Bridesmaid
Jord and I lived together all 4 years of college, and she spoiled the hell out of me. Our house was the go-to place for Caps games and Sunday football because Jordan would make sausage dips, burgers, pulled bbq and more. To this day she’s still slinging homemade taquitos on game day in Denver. She’s fiercely loyal to her friends, constantly putting friends and family before herself. If I ever need anything at all she's always there to help. She is the logistics planner, the driver, the mom, the host, the cook, the good listener, the "don't take that bulls***" pep talker, and my bleacher buddy at Matt's hockey games. She brings the cooler and the good time, every time. Love you Jord.
