Allison & Conor
Wedding Party
Becky Cannon
Maid of Honor
I’m Allison’s cousin and maid of honor! We’re only six months apart, so I truly can’t imagine my life without her. We grew up side by side from being flower girls in our Aunt Pat’s wedding to watching Disney princess movies and dreaming about Prince Charming. Allison has been there through every stage of my life, and I’m beyond honored to stand by her side on this special day. I’m so excited to continue making lifelong memories with Allison and her future husband, Conor.
Patrick Sannino
Best Man
I’m Conor’s Cousin/brotha, I’ve known him for as long as you can know a person. From playing with plastic lightsabers in the old Secane house, building Lego’s at Aunt Jan's and Aunt Joyce’s, to spending an entire summer sleeping over my house in Pennsville with my buddy Tristan. I’ve tried to pick just one memory but there’s too many to choose one.
Alyssa Gostynski
Bridesmaid
Allison is truly the big sister I never had. Some of my favorite memories in life have my Alli in them — doing my hair and makeup, taking endless selfies, obsessing over whatever boy band she loved at the time, and of course our iconic sleepovers in her purple bedroom. She made everything feel magical. I never once hesitated to go to her with ANYTHING. It could feel like the worst thing in the world, and I knew that if I called Alli, somehow it wouldn’t be so bad anymore. She’s always been my safe place, my voice of reason, and my built-in best friend. Fun fact: when we go Black Friday shopping together, we truly shop until we drop. And if we go with anyone else… it’s just not the same. We are the same person, and no one shops the way we do. It’s a sport, a strategy, and a full-day event. Her nickname for me, “Monkey” came from being permanently attached to her hip — I never wanted to be more than 10 feet away. I am basically her mini version, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I wouldn’t be who I am without my big cousin, and I am forever grateful for her.

Groomsman
Some of the best memories I have with Conor are attending flyers games / drinking beer and smoking cigars with him. We’ve had countless laughs at the moose lodge and I look forward to adding some more fond memories under our belt.
Katie Bolin
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Katie, Allison’s best friend and bridesmaid! I first met Allison when we were about 5 years old through Girl Scouts and we’ve been inseparable ever since. It’s been an honor and privilege to not only grow up with Allison, but to witness her amazing love with Conor bloom through the years. From all of the school dances, birthday parties, photo shoots, shopping trips, beach days and helping me plan my wedding she’s been my rock and always by my side, and now I couldn’t be more thankful to be by her to celebrate her beautiful wedding day!
Mike Connell
Groomsman
Hello! My name is Mike. We all know this day is going to be special, so I’ll make sure Conor hits the gym the night before to get that pump ready for the photos! Over the past ten years, we’ve made countless memories together — honestly, it’s hard to pick just one. Every time we hang out, there’s endless laughter, nonstop jokes, and plenty of good-natured smack talk. But that’s exactly what makes best friends, best friends. Right?
Lindsay Koch
Bridesmaid
I met Alli at Penn State in 2021, during that magical era when online classes made us question tuition and whether sweatpants counted as business casual. We agreed to live together before knowing if the other snored or was a hoarder. The first time I met Alli and Conor, they picked me up for ice cream, and Conor drove like he was auditioning for NASCAR. I clutched the “oh-shit” handle in the backseat, questioning every life choice — but the ice cream was worth it, and I didn’t die, so moving in together felt like a reasonable gamble. For two years we survived and thrived in Penn State chaos: late-night Walmart and Sheetz runs, football games where snacks mattered more than the score, and an apartment that hosted last-minute study sessions, spontaneous Target hauls, dramatic debriefs, and trying to cook in a kitchen the size of a shoebox. What I love most about Alli is her steadiness — she’s endlessly supportive and genuinely there for me, even when I was overtired or in TJ Maxx debating between a “Live Laugh Lasagna” sign and a pointless three-foot ceramic giraffe. Watching her and Conor, it’s obvious that same steadiness is the core of their relationship. I’m honored to stand beside her — not just because we survived college together, but because she’s become one of the most important people in my life.
Austin Minner
Groomsman
Conor and I met in the summer of 2020 through my fiancée, Becky, who happens to be Allison’s cousin. What started as a simple introduction quickly turned into a friendship built on shared weekends and time spent together. Summers are usually spent fishing at the beach or competing on the golf course during the weekends, and every fall we keep the tradition going with camping trips to Jim Thorpe. No matter the season, Conor is always up for a good time and makes every weekend better.
Narmada Sanivarapu
Bridesmaid
I’m Narmada, Alli’s favorite Indian. I met Alli in college, back when life revolved around late nights, questionable sleep schedules, and an unhealthy amount of deep conversations. From the very beginning (literally within a week of meeting each other), she became my safe place and the kind of friend you can talk to for hours without realizing how much time has passed (which still happens every single time we call). Some of my favorite memories with her are the simplest ones: walking around our apartment complex counting how many Walmart shopping carts students somehow managed to abandon, clearing out the living room at 2am just so we could dance like no one was watching, feeding and bathing my guinea pigs, trying to save me from spiders in my bathroom but ultimately having to call Lindsay in to rescue both of us, and staying up on school nights talking about absolutely everything and nothing at the same time. She’s the friend who makes even the most ordinary moments feel special. She is thoughtful, hilarious without trying, deeply caring, and someone who shows up wholeheartedly for the people she loves. Overtime and very quickly, Conor and Alli became more like brother and sister for me. I’m so honored to stand by their side on this day and celebrate a love that feels just as genuine and joyful as both Conor and Alli are.
Andrew Bolin
Groomsman
Hi I’m Andrew and I’m one of Conor’s groomsmen. Conor is one of the best people I know and is always there to create memory’s like our insane golf trips were we lose many golf balls, drinking and causing havoc, and just appreciating our Phillies sports teams. I am excited to celebrate him and Allison on their special day!
Erin Renning
Bridesmaid
I first met Allison at a Florida Georgia Line concert, and what began as a fun night turned into a friendship I treasure deeply. Through every season of life, we’ve shown up for one another — sharing laughter, tears, and countless heart-to-heart conversations, always there when it mattered most. From lunch dates to driving an hour for Dairy Queen and all the moments in between, I wouldn’t trade our friendship for anything in the world. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect partner for her than Conor; together, they complement one another in the most beautiful way. We do always say that Conor is the male version of me so I can see how this turned into such a wonderful friendship. I cannot wait to celebrate their love and stand beside them on such a special day.
Chris Ottolenghi
Groomsman
I met Conor on the very first day of freshman year in high school at Penncrest. I entered my homeroom class and started looking around for a seat. As I scanned the room to find a good seat somewhere next to a cute girl, I got sidetracked because I saw this dude drawing a Mustang on a random piece of paper. I made my way over to the aisle where he was sitting and stopped myself. Once I got in front of him, I looked at his drawing, looked at him, looked back at his drawing, looked back at him and said, "Oh yeah, we're going to be friends." Then I sat down at the seat not far behind him. It's been history ever since. Car buddies meeting up at car shows, bonfires, hangouts, and now being in each other's weddings as groomsmen, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
