Matron of Honor
Erica is my sister and absolute best friend. I have looked up to her my entire life and whatever she did, I did. (even if it wasn't in my best interest considering I was 5 years younger... for example, shaving my legs..) Thankfully, she is the best role model in the world, and I couldn't be luckier to have her as my big sister! She has been there for me through every big moment throughout my life and has already been so helpful throughout the wedding planning process. I obviously have millions of memories with her, but some of my favorites have been getting to watch her become a mom and the time we spend together with my niece and nephew! I have absolutely no idea what I would do without her and can't wait for the next few months of planning with her as my Matron of Honor.

Carly and I met when I started dancing at Borelli's over 15 years ago. We have created so many amazing memories together, and I am so excited to continue to make memories this year as we celebrate BOTH of us getting married! (I will be Carly's Matron of Honor in December, yay!) Getting to dance with Carly and spend hours upon hours at the studio will always be one of my favorite memories of our friendship. However, having the opportunity to travel on vacations, visit each other during college and plan our weddings together has also been SO much fun! I am so excited for this next year for us and can't wait for both of our big days!
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met at Pitt Dance Team tryouts over 10 years ago. Our bond formed immediately and we seriously have been inseparable since. From dancing on Heinz Field, dressing up as loofahs, meeting to walk up the hill together before every practice, our many nights studying at Hillman (or Peter's) and everything in between, Katie and I have created some of the best memories together. She is truly the most genuine, loyal, caring and supportive friend in the world. When I need a pick me up, Katie never fails to make me smile and assure me that everything is going to be okay. I feel so fortunate that Pitt brought us together so many years ago and can't wait for all of the amazing adventures we will have together in the future. Having her by my side on the big day was seriously no question!
Bridesmaid
Kelly Kel and I met over 20 years ago when we were in a gymnastics dance together called Macho Mozart that involved us ripping off our tutus mid-dance and busting into our best backbends and splits. Kelly and I were truly inseparable as children, so it only made sense to be roommates (all four years!) when we found out we were both going to Pitt. Kelly is that friend that just "gets" me, and I couldn't imagine my life without her. She has always had a way of staying calm in any situation and let's be real, we all know I'm not the best at that. While at Pitt, Kelly and I seriously made the best memories while on dance team, being roommates and just forming one of the closest friendships I could have ever imagined. I can't wait to have her by my side on my wedding day!
Bridesmaid
Lexie is my little cousin, but has always been like more of a little sister to me. There is truly no one like Lexie, and I feel so fortunate to have her beautiful, loving and caring spirit in my life. Lexie and I have always had SO much fun growing up together, and I couldn't imagine her not being there on my wedding day to be my personal hype girl (seriously, she's the best) Lexie makes any situation so much fun, and I know she will do the same every day leading up to the wedding! Be sure to check her out on the dance floor when Cycle comes on... you won't be disappointed.
Bridesmaid
Marissa and I have been friends for over 22 years and met at dance school when we were in elementary school. I actually had never spoke to her before, but thought she looked nice so I thought I should ask her to be my friend and invite her over for a sleepover. Turns out I was right and we are still just as close today as we were twenty years ago. Marissa and I were lucky enough to go to Pitt and be on the dance team together. After the many years of choreographing and performing dances in our basement, it felt like a dream come true to be dancing on Heinz Field together. She is one of the most genuine friends in the world, and I can't wait to have her by my side on our wedding day!
Bridesmaid
Meredith and I met on our very first day at Great Beginnings over 5 years ago when we were both starting our teaching careers! We immediately connected over the fact that we were both from Pittsburgh and both just picked up our lives and moved to Northern Virginia. I vividly remember her being willing to walk to my car with me because I forgot my lunch, and I instantly thought "wow, I really like this girl". Well, that feeling hasn't changed, and I couldn't imagine my life without Meredith. She's my friend that is always willing to go to Target, grab coffee or walk Tyson. Honestly, what more could I ask for? Other than the fact that she is one of the most supportive people I have ever met, and I just love that about her so much. I can't wait for her to be part of the big day!
Bridesmaid
Shannon is one of my older cousins and has always been my stand-in matching twin for all family occasions. (sorry, Erica) We actually already practiced our weddings as children and have some amazing home videos if you are looking for a good laugh. I was lucky enough to be part of Shannon's big day and couldn't imagine my day without her. She has continually supported me throughout my life, and I am so lucky to have her as my cousin. Also, I really hope she busts out her Foxy Cleopatra moves on the dance floor at the wedding... be on the lookout!

Grayson is my nephew and is 5 years old! Harry and I had just met when Grayson was born, so "VT" has always been a part of the family according to Gray. I was so excited to ask Grayson to be part of our wedding day and cannot wait to watch him walk down the aisle with Tyson. He also cannot wait and told me we should have a bone at the end of the aisle so Tyson knows to walk down. (Honestly, not a bad idea) We love you, Gray!

It has been my dream to have Tyson walk down the aisle since the moment we got him soooo clearly this was a MUST! Tyson told us he's very excited and can't wait to be a part of mom and dad's big day. He's definitely the most handsome member of the wedding party.
Flower Girl
Evelyn is my niece and is three years old. She was sooo excited when she found out she would get to wear a pretty dress and throw flowers in the air. She loves to dance and is sure to be busting a move on the dance floor!
Flower Girl
Aly is Harry's niece and is 4 years old. I have been lucky enough to know Aly since she was born and even got to meet her at the hospital. Thankfully, we live super close and get to spend a lot of time together! Harry and I can't wait to see Aly walk down the aisle!
