Wedding Party
Samantha Sullivan
Maid of Honor
Teresa and Sam met at the University of Pittsburgh during their freshman year and Teresa has not left Sam alone since! Sam is a California-raised human ray of sunshine and once-in-a-lifetime friend that has deeply impacted Teresa's life. Brilliant, kind, supportive, beautiful, understanding - Sam is the kind of friend all dream of having and only few have. She has been the best friend anyone could ask for through life's challenges and blessings and we can't say "I do" without Sam by our side.
Elaine Lipinski
Bridesmaid
Elaine (Lainey) and Teresa also met while at the University of Pittsburgh. Lainey's friendship has changed our lives and she certainly brings out the best in others. Her sense of humor, beauty (inside and out) and overall glowing personality are among her greatest traits. God's plan for Lainey's importance in our lives cannot be overlooked, as Teresa and Andrew met through Lainey. This wedding would literally not be happening without Lainey!
Camille Pince
Bridesmaid
Camille is Andrew's older sister and an unmatched baker of cookies, breads, and more! Camille's appreciation for Harry Potter and Great British Baking Show makes her our resident pop culture expert. Camille is a faithful, smart, loving, and caring sister, wife, mother and friend. If you are blessed to know Camille, her sense of humor, selflessness, and kindness will stand out!
Gabrielle Abrahamsen
Bridesmaid
Gabrielle is Andrew's oldest sister and will be making the long trip to our wedding from the great state of Hawaii! Gabrielle is a smart, compassionate, loving, thoughtful, dedicated wife, mother, sister and friend. Gabrielle has played a very important role in our lives and models faith and resilience in all that she does. We are blessed by her example and to celebrate the love and support Gabrielle shares with us, and to have her by our side!
Katelyn Wampler
Bridesmaid
Katelyn is Teresa's sister-in-law, fellow squirrel admirer (by marriage) and Matt's better half! We deeply admire Katelyn's dedication to others through her career in medicine. Katelyn's welcoming smile, warm personality, and sense of humor are just a few of the many reasons why we are thankful Katelyn is a part of our family and is sharing in our special day!
JonPaul Plesniak
Best Man
JonPaul is Andrew's younger brother and has been by his side as long has he can remember (literally)! Thus, It is only fitting to have him once again right by his side on this very special day. JonPaul is adventurous, fun, and interesting to be around (be sure to sure to ask him about his travels). Often both of us are bearded and we get mixed reactions of some people thinking we are twins and others saying we don't even look related, so be sure to let us know what you think!
Theodore Pince
Groomsman
As Andrew's brother-in-law, Teddy and Andrew don't share blood but they share an alma mater! We both went to graduate school at Carnegie Mellon University at the same time and actually lived just a few minutes away from each other in Squirrel Hill. Teddy is an all-round great guy and will be happy to share with you his love of the Bears football team despite never living anywhere close to Chicago.
Christopher Abrahamsen
Groomsman
Chris is Andrew's brother-in-law and has been all over the world! As a pilot of the United States Air Force (currently stationed in Hawaii), Chris's dedication to our country and his family have served as an example for us in an extraordinary way. Always willing to drop anything to help you out, Chris's is a both a friend and family member we are blessed to have in our lives. Also..... He's been to Antarctica!
Matthew Leatherow
Groomsman
Matt is Teresa's favorite sibling (which is more of a default when you only have one sibling)! If you have witnessed this dynamic duo, you know that these siblings share a love of squirrels, Italian baked goods, and Cedar Point. Matt is a loving, caring, and shall we say "nutty" brother, husband and friend. We asked him to clear his calendar with sufficient notice so he could join us on our wedding day!
Donovan Ashton
Groomsman
Donovan was one of the first friends Andrew met in college (our dorm rooms were right next to each other). One night freshman year, still new in our friendship, our bond was cemented when we sheepishly admitted to one another that we were both planning on going to an open practice for the University of Pittsburgh's cheer team that we had both been independently invited too (something very out of the ordinary for both of us!). Years as cheer teammates and janky college housemates later, Andrew is proud to have Donovan by his side for this special day.
Charles Pince
Ring Bearer
Charlie promoted Andrew to "Uncle Andrew". Charlie is an energetic boy who has deep appreciation for dinosaurs and enjoys canned sparkling water. Charlie can pronounce an impressive list of dinosaurs (nothing like a toddler's expertise to make you feel like you need to head to a natural history museum). We love you, Charlie!
Chase Abrahamsen
Ring Bearer
Chase is the sweetest guy at the wedding (don't tell Uncle Andrew)! Chase is an adventuresome boy and has a lot of musical and artistic talent. We are in awe of his creativity! Chase is a strong leader and will help keep everyone in line at our wedding ceremony. We love you, Chase!
