Kaleigh & Michael
Wedding Party
Meghan Laivanakorn
Matron of Honor
Meghan and I have a friendship that dates back to 2003. From the playground to every family get-together growing up, we have been there side by side. Now, as I enter this next chapter of my life, of course my ride-or-die would be right there with me. A little more about our history together… Meghan and her family moved to my hometown during the 2003 school year. While they didn’t live there long (and truthfully, I don’t blame them—it’s a lot like where most of us live in Pennsylvania), we instantly clicked. From that point on, we spent nearly every free moment together all the way through graduation. Our time together was filled with watching High School Musical (religiously, I might add), using our imaginations to play, spending Friday nights watching her older brother play football, roller skating at the rink (Meghan was always way better than me), and competitively playing foosball with her mom and dad for hours on end. We celebrated every birthday and holiday together with both families. Today, Meghan is a wonderful dog mom to a beautiful goldendoodle, a wife to her amazing husband, and—most importantly—the best mom any baby or child could ever ask for. Needless to say, she is the kind of friend you always want by your side, and I am so grateful she’s by mine.

Best Man
My friendship with Mike spans over three decades, and our bond is built largely around a shared love of sports and live music. One of my earliest memories together dates back to December 1996, when Mike and I attended a Pittsburgh Steelers vs. San Francisco 49ers game, in Pittsburgh I think that was the first time Mike and I had been to an NFL game. Fast forward to today, and we still making it a tradition to attend Buffalo Bills games together every year. But it’s not just football that fuels our friendship. Both Mike and I are avid live music fans, and we have attended more concerts and live music events than we can count. Fun fact: I have attended more live music events with Mike than anyone else in my life— and I plan to keep it that way! When I’m not cheering on my team or rocking out at a concert, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. There’s nothing quite like being with them, and making them laugh! A special moment for me came the night I joined Mike and Kaleigh at a Dave Matthews Band concert: I captured Mike getting down on one knee to propose to Kaleigh. What a moment - and one that I will never forget! And finally, "LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!".

Bridesmaid
My brother Michael and I share a bond that’s truly special—one that speaks to our deep connection to one another, and unwavering family ties. Some of my favorite memories with my brother are from the weekends we spent at the motocross track. Traveling to his races meant loading up the RV, setting up camp, and spending the whole weekend as a family, surrounded by the sounds of dirt bikes and the smell of campfires. Those weekends were always an adventure—early mornings and nights filled with laughter. Those weekends were more than just motocross — they were about family, adventure, and memories that will always stick with us. One of the best moments from those trips was when I told him I had gotten a chocolate lab puppy, Charlie. We kept it a secret from Mom for months, and somehow, we actually pulled it off. At the time, I was living in State College, which made it easier to hide, and it still makes me laugh thinking about it. My husband, Mike, and I are proud parents to two beautiful children Jax and Maci. We actively embrace their passions, whether it’s Jax's fascination with WWII or Maci's obsession with ribbon streamers and swinging in the spring. Aside from being a wife and mom, I spend any down time that I have indulging in my love of Netflix binge-worthy shows like Suits, diving into true crime podcasts, or staying up-to-date with all things Formula 1.

Mike and I have a bond that is as rooted as the dirt that we’ve raced on together. Our journey began when we were just 14 years old, with Mike revving up his motocross skills, just slightly behind me. Our friendship is marked by that one unforgettable race — when Mike pulled ahead and claimed victory and also won me the points after I wrecked. Of course, the wreck wasn’t my fault. The debates we’ve had over him ever beating me in a race alone could fill volumes! By day, I’m a dentist — known affectionately (I hope!) by my coworkers as the “dumbest smart kid they ever knew.” When I’m not rooting around in people’s mouths, I can usually be found spending quality time with my wife, and four daughters - very much the thorn amongst the roses!

I am Kaleigh's brother, a position I've held for her entire life. From the start, I've taken pride in protecting, mentoring, and of course whenever the opportunity arose tormenting her. I have too many great memories with Kaleigh. Yet, some of my favorites include traveling to the Grand Canyon, Dominican Republic, and camping together all over California. I cannot forget the day trips fishing and gold panning around the mountain that we grew up on. We can look back on tobogganing, sled rides, snow ball fights, shoveling snow for a walk way, and digging out parking spots for our parents (which sucked). I promise you it's no joke "walking up hill both ways in the snow". When we were inside you can guarantee it was "Mighty Morphin Time" or W.W.E. "Raw" or "Smackdown" nights in our home. Kaleigh and my wrestling match was no competition to "Mother Hen". The countless times Kaleigh got me in trouble should just go to show why we had wrestling matches. When I'm not officiating weddings which is "ALWAYS", you can catch me hanging out with my wife Nikki and Kaleigh's favorite nephews Ari, and Sameer, or at local breweries throughout Northern California. I cannot tell you how honored I am, with the little power I have vested in me by the "internet", to bring Kaleigh and Michael together in matrimony.
