Wedding Party
Bailey Rasmussen
Maid of Honor
My name is Bailey and I am Kelli's little sister and Maid of Honor! Kelli and Troy's love for each other is truly inspiring, and I am so happy to witness this beautiful journey they are embarking on together. I knew I was doing something right when I brought them together (iykyk) ;). I cannot wait to be apart of this celebration!
Mike Puglisi
Best Man
Troy and I first met in middle school in a computer typing class. Once I saw him open up cool math games, I realized he’d be a fun guy to get to know. Ever since then we have been very close and I consider him as another brother to me. We both have always had similar goals and have shared great memories together. He’s also the best goalie to ever grace the eastern seaboard. I can’t wait to stand by him on his and Kelli’s big day.
Cat Demassi
Bridesmaid
“Some of us are going to dinner. You want to come?” might be the best thing I ever said. I met Kelli our first week freshman year at the Catholic University of America where I asked if she wanted to come to dinner with me at the Pryz. I had no idea that such a simple question would change my life forever. Kelli and I became fast friends, mainly because we both knew how to take a joke 😉. We spent most of our college experience by each other’s side. We started rooming together sophomore year, and let me tell you it was a trip. We laughed. We cried. We screamed lol. She continued to put up with my shenanigans all through college and even the years after. We lived together for 4 years, and I got to see her grow. I feel like we grew up together, not in the traditional sense of being friends since birth, but in learning how to live on our own. Don’t get me wrong we partied, had adventures, and maybe went to one too many bottomless brunches, but we also went to school, learned to budget, and mastered the art of Hello Fresh discount codes. I could not be more honored to stand next to her on this momentous day. The day when she says she will love Troy forever. After watching them through the early stages, I am so excited this day has come!
Brian Allen
Groomsman
I met Troy in college freshman year during orientation. Troy and I were roommates for 2 years and over the course of knowing Troy we spent countless hours studying, laughing and enjoying each others company. Im very proud to call Troy a friend and to stand by him on his big day.
Isa Salazar
Bridesmaid
Hi! I’m Isa, and I met Kelli during our sophomore year of college. We technically should have met earlier in our online Accounting Zoom class, but I was too intimidated to introduce myself—she always looked so serious and a little angry. I later learned that she just has a naturally intense face (no hard feelings, Kelli!). We instantly bonded over our faith, love of food, and missing the dry dessert heat while in the cold humid weather of DC. Over the years, we’ve been partners in crime, trying to find each other our future husbands. Now that she’s marrying Troy, I couldn’t be more thrilled to see her with the perfect match. (And yes, I’m still single, so if you’re reading this and know someone who might be a good match for me, please message me at (915) 920-4021 ... just kidding! Or am I? 😏) I’m beyond excited to be a part of their celebration and promise I’ll only cry a little during the ceremony (okay, maybe a lot).
Jacob Tribull
Groomsman
My name is Jake Tribull and I’m from Annapolis, Maryland. Troy and I met our freshman year at Catholic University during our intro to engineering design class. After that we became great friends and even invented a device together for our senior design class. To say I’m happy for Troy is an understatement. I’m so proud of my meme-sharing, beer-drinking, slightly above average golfer friend.
Trinity Cavanaugh
Bridesmaid
I am one of Kelli’s best friends from Xavier College Preparatory. We met our junior year of high school where we had an instant connection! Kelli and I were and still are mistaken for twins! Kelli has the kindest heart and most sarcastic humor. Even though Kelli and I met in high school, I feel I have known her my whole life and am so thankful for all the amazing memories we have shared such as our California adventures, fashion show dance performance, surprise birthday visit at TCU, and so many more! I cannot wait to stand by Kelli’s side for this very special moment!
Matthew Young
Groomsman
Hey! I’m Matt, Troy’s older brother and primary mentor. Over the years, Troy and I have shared several fond brotherly memories, many of which involve physical harm, emotional distress, or destruction of property. From our family trips to Florida and playing soccer together, to breaking the couch and *allegedly* cutting each other with kitchen knives, we truly shared a wonderful and spirited upbringing together. As we have grown from childhood to adulthood, I have had the pleasure of watching Troy mature from my goofy little brother into a successful, thoughtful and determined man. I am honored to be a groomsman, and I can’t wait for the future he and Kelli will have as husband and wife. Cheers!
Shannon Shields
Bridesmaid
Hey everyone! My name is Shannon Shields and I have the ultimate pleasure of being one of Kelli’s bridesmaids! I have known Kelli since I was 9 years old! From playing middle school volleyball at Saint Simon & Jude (we won everything btw), carpooling to HS, to pool parties, to picking out our colleges, and so much more. No amount of time and distance can change the fact that Kelli has always been the person I can count on to have my back. To be able to witness this amazing, selfless, most down to earth woman I know tie the knot is something I will be forever grateful for! I love you Kelli! Let’s go get you married to your dream man! P.S. I have always known that Kelli would be the first of us to settle down! I mean who wouldn’t snag this girl!
Kris Young
Groomsman
Hi, I’m Kris the groom’s oldest brother. Growing up, Troy and I shared countless memories, whether it was hanging out at home or me cheering him on from the sidelines at his soccer games. I’ve always admired his dedication and determination, and it’s been an honor to be his biggest fan. I’m thrilled to stand by his side as he marries Kelli, and I couldn’t be happier to celebrate this exciting new chapter with them.
Mia Young
Bridesmaid
Hi y’all. I'm Mia, Troy’s younger sister and one of Kelli’s bridesmaids. I am beyond excited to stand by Kelli on this special day. I first met Kelli at one of my brother’s soccer games, and from that moment, I knew she was someone special. Over time, she’s become not just my brother’s love but also a dear friend who celebrated my 21st birthday with me and has been there through so many milestones. I believe my brother is someone who truly deserves the love and happiness that Kelli brings into his life, and watching their love story unfold has been such a joy. I’m honored to be part of their big day as they begin this beautiful journey together.
Connor Rasmussen
Groomsman
My name is Connor Rasmussen and I am Kelli’s brother. I first met Troy when I went to visit Kelli at CUA in 2021, back when she had a crush on him. I’ve gotten to know Troy through school, vacation trips, and "extracurricular activities" *wink . Throughout these past years Troy has become a brother to me and we were able to get along since day one. I’m blessed to have Troy joining our family and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
