Tori & Sean
Wedding Party
Talli Bertke
Maid of Honor
Talli is my older sister. We have grown up together and have always been close. I'm lucky that she still hangs out with me after all the years I copied her. Sean and I love going over to her house to hang out in the pool and watch golf!
Jay Meyers
Best Man
Jay was my fraternity big at Ohio Northern University and has been my closest friend since the start of college. He's always been down for an adventure, many of which I'm sure you'll hear about on Tori and I's wedding night! Whether he's lived in Columbus or DC, we've continued to stay in touch and plan a power hour or three.
Gabriella Keller
Bridesmaid
Gabby and I have been best friends since high school! We have spent many milestones together from high school graduation to her getting married. Gabby and I have always loved going on trips to Florida and Norris Lake together. Sean and I love getting together with her and her husband, Jacob, for some Mexican and margaritas.
Tim Chaffin
Groomsman
Tim and I met freshman year at Ohio Northern and became great friends through the fraternity. We lived together for three years in college and always had the cleanest room at the house, which didn't take much. Tori and I always look forward to visiting Tim and Danielle when they host their annual Halloween party in CLE.
Mikaela Kramer
Bridesmaid
Mikaela and I have known each other since grade school and have been best friends since high school! We have had some great times together like her infamous tight and bright party, but I know I can always count on her for a good time and an even better friend.
Eric Sims
Groomsman
Eric and I grew up together through middle school and high school, playing both golf and baseball for Fairview. We became much closer when Eric recruited me to work at Reynolds after college, living in a very comfortable 1 bedroom apartment my first 4 months in Dayton. Eventually we ended up in Columbus where we had some of the best times of our 20's.
Amanda Frost
Bridesmaid
Amanda and I skated together since I was 4 all the way through college. Sean and I love going to visit her and her husband in Florida. We've gone on a couple of trips together and we've all gotten so close. I'm so excited to have her stand by my side like I got to do for her!
John Elchinger
Groomsman
John and I grew up together through middle school and high school, playing baseball for Fairview and dominating Math Club competitions. When John attended grad school at OSU, we spent many Saturday's chugging water for Buckeye games. He's always been my biggest competition on the golf course, though I don't think he's ever beat me.
Emily Topp
Bridesmaid
Emily is my sister-in-law, married to my brother Takis. Emily is a nurse so we enjoy a passion for healthcare! We love talking about medical issues that gross Sean and Takis out. Emily and I love going to the lake together and being partners in crime on the boat.
James Elchinger
Groomsman
Hopefully you started at the top and read John's description, because Jim's is the same. One of my favorite memories with Jim was taking a trip out to Vegas for New Years a few years back. Tori's always been jealous that I've spent more NYE with Jim than I have her since then. Fun fact, Jim is probably the best OverWatch player the world has seen.
Erin Davoran
Bridesmaid
Erin was my college roommate sophomore year. While we haven't lived together since and have spent a lot of time in different states we have remained so close! Erin and I did not have the smoothest start to our roommate-ship, but we quickly learned how to get along and then became the closest friends. I'm so happy that a random roommate turned into a lifelong friendship.
Taylor Vance
Groomsman
Taylor and I grew up together through middle school and high school. He was then lucky enough to have me as a freshman year roommate at Ohio Northern. Taylor and I have always been on the same page and never had a single disagreement through all our years together. We've also been lucky enough to enjoy betting on the ponies at the Little Brown Jug.
Ashley Krause
Honorary Bridesmaid
Ashley and I met in college as teammates on the skating team. Even though she lives in Cleveland we have still remained very close. Sean and her husband Freddie became fast friends the first time they met and we can't wait to make more memories with them. Ashley recently got pregnant and is no longer able to come to the wedding, but I still want her to know she's always a bridesmaid in my eyes!
