Wedding Party
Madison Scholl
Maid of Honor
Maddi is the daughter of the bride-to-be, and mom's best friend. Maddi, you have been my number 1 girl since I knew you existed! No matter what comes at us in life, we will get through it together. I am proud of the young lady you are becoming, inspired by your artistic and creative endeavors, and so lucky to have you fill my life with joy and laughter. Thank you for being by my side today and always.
Kerry O'Brien
Matron of Honor
Kerry is the bride-to-be's older sister (much, much older). ;) Kerry, thank you for your many years of letting me tag along on dates, taking me to college at 7, and not disowning me when I laid on the roof of your car and wouldn't let you go back without me. I'll annoy you forever and ever. Love you always.
Kelly Elnick
Bridesmaid
Part of the KKE trio since early childhood, Kelly is the bride-to-be's lifelong best friend. Kelly, you're truly the most selfless and caring best friend. I am so lucky to have you by my side through every chapter of life. It's rare to keep friends from Kindergarten age through forever, and I know I don't take it for granted! You are a true supermom, energizer bunny, and always reach out for every good and bad event, day, and milestone. You're incredible, and I love and admire you always.
Emily Carroll
Bridesmaid
Emily, the other third of the KKE dynamic stooges since shortly after birth of the bride-to-be. Em, my artistic, fiery other girl soulmate. I truly couldn't imagine my life without you and Kel, cause you've both been there the entire time I can remember ;). Thank you for years of free therapy balanced with a decent amount of rebel and chaos. Love you 'til death.
Nicole Zajac
Bridesmaid
Nicole is a nursing coworker of the bride-to-be. Nicole, supermom, baking queen, nursing comrade, I am so happy we became friends 10 years after we went to school together ;). You amaze me every day with your tireless activites and spunk, and you do it all with a smile and a laugh. You understand me so well and accept me as crazy as I am, and I am so appreciative for a friend like you!
Riley O'Brien
Bridesmaid
Riley is the niece of the bride-to-be. Riley, I was so excited the day I found out I was going to be your aunt, and I am so lucky you gave me that title! I love your spark for life and watching you shine in your drama plays! You are one hard working, fun young lady! Thank you for being by my side and alwasy cheering me on! I love you!
Mairead O'Brien
Bridesmaid
Mairead is the Bride-to-be's niece. Mairead, I love teasing that you're secretly my daughter because you are so much like me! I love your sense of humor and spunk. Keep that fire, and I can't wait to see where life takes you. I love being your "fun Aunt Katie."
Deklyn Moore
Ring Bearer
Watch out everyone...future lady killer in the building. I've had the pleasure of watching Deklyn grow up and know him to be a bright, articulate, fun kid! Whether its fishing, playing video games or setting off rockets, I can't wait to get into more trouble with you Dek! Love you buddy! Thank you for being my Ring Bearer.
David Moore
Best Man
What happens when you combine the adventurers spirit of Jeremiah Johnson with the smoldering stare of Zoolander? You get Dave and it's my pleasure to call him my Best Man. Thoughtful. Generous. Funny. Those are a few of the qualities I expect him to describe me as during his speech. He is truly one of a kind. Navy Electronics Technician. Teacher. Social Worker. Baseball Coach. Scrabble Enthusiast. I'm proud to know you and grateful for our friendship. Except when you beat me in scrabble that time using the word "flavory."
Santpal Chalwa
Groomsman
Paul once introduced me to a heart surgeon as the smartest nurse on the Cardio-Thoracic unit at Northwell's Manhasset Hospital. The surgeon looked at Paul and said, "Is that right?" Paul said yes, Brian graduated top of his class...he was Valedictorian. The surgeon asked what school I went to. Paul placed his hand on my shoulder and confidently interjected, " He was home schooled." The surgeon walked away. Thank you Paul.
Mathew O'Brien
Groomsman
Every few months I'll call Matt, aka Burnsy, and say, "Alright, I have a new invention idea but you can't tell anyone." I'll ask for his discretion and he'll assure me no one is listening. I'll explain it to him meticulously thinking I've just dropped a billion dollar idea when in reality it's a stinker. Literally, half of the inventions are toilet related. This has been going on for 20+ years. We've invented nothing. But there is no better person to divulge your harebrained ideas, life changing inventions or get-rich-quick schemes to.
Brian Grillo
Groomsman
One of the hardest laughs I've ever had in my laugh is thanks to this man. Driving home from a white water rafting trip, a certain deep cut from the 90's came on the radio. It was Faith No More's, "Epic." If you're asking yourself what is it, you are exactly right! Brian, aka Foley, decided to join in with the lead singer screaming the big question in his highest falsetto, "What is it?" "What is it?" I'm not sure we figured out what IT was, but I know I was crying by the end of it.
