Brian & Alyssa
Wedding Party
Tim Utesch
Best Man
The Tim-a-nator!! This guy put up with Brian for three years living together and the rest is history. He’s been there through everything and still continues to stick by Brian’s side through all his crazy antics. These two are always up to something when they are together. Like the one time the pretended to be secret agents when picking Alyssa up from the many Megabus trips. They stayed in character the entire trip home and everyone thought Alyssa was some celebrity!
Amanda O’Guin
Co-Matron of Honor
Alyssa and Amanda met in high school and have been inseparable ever since. They’ve been on all kinds of adventures, traveling parts of the world together over the last 10+ years (well, maybe just the Caribbean-but still!). They say if you can travel with someone then you’re meant to be! Never a dull moment between these two, they truly are kindred souls. Amanda has been there through everything and is always there no matter what Alyssa needs. Amanda takes the title of Co-Matron of Honor with Linzy!
Stephanie Clark
Groomswoman
Stephanie, holy cow where does Brian begin? There are those people that are 'ride-or-die' and she is in that category for Brian! They met in college freshman year in 2010 and have been inseparable since. Four years of college and almost 7 years of adulting, they have shared amazing times from countless drunk nights all across Chicagoland to most recently traveling to LA to attend Rachael and Daniel's wedding. Brian literally could not have a wedding party without her in it and he cannot wait to celebrate the night away!
Zak Kruszewski
Bridesman
The brother of the bride! If there's anyone in this world that Alyssa would take a bullet for it's her brother. The amount of love these two have for each other is indescribable. Put these two side by side and you can tell they are siblings. Probably because one is doing something to annoy the other. Zak will claim he is smarter than Alyssa to which she will state, you better because I taught you everything I know.
Jacob O'Guin
Groomsman
Jacob is the one who has come into Brian's life more recently, but don't let that trick you, the impact he's had on Brian and Alyssa's life has earned him a spot in the wedding party starting rotation. Since moving back to MI, Jacob has been as solid of a friend as one could ask for. They really got close when he came to work part time for the Wings in the control room. Nicknamed the back row hooligans (by Brian), they always had a difficult time keeping their laughter under control and/or their eyes open. Their pregame ritual candy runs up to the gondolas and his inside the control room tweets were some of Brian's favorite memories.
Linzy Buzo
Co-Matron of Honor
Friends since they were 7, that’s a long friendship! From softball at the age of 7 to re-kindling their friendship in high school and being best friends every year after. These two have seen each other grow, they experienced the awkward teenage years to the beautiful ladies they have grown up to be. Linzy shares Co-Matron of Honor with Amanda!
Ian Cicchini
Groomsman
Family isn't defined by being related, it's defined by the bond you share. Brian unknowingly met Ian when they both played bantam hockey, Brian for Mt. Clemens and him for St. Clair Shores... Then walking the halls of De LaSalle freshman year, they realized they had faced each other on the ice. From that moment on they were inseparable. Bonding over hockey, music, women and unshielded goofy personalities, they've shared countless memories together (and with Ian's family) that Brian will never forget. The pictured shared is from their trip to Florida with him and his dad when Brian had to break into their condo through a kitchen window, because they all had locked ourselves out of the home. Specifically, that shot is from them on The Hulk roller coaster.
Katelyn Woodworth
Groomswoman
Sister of the Groom! The one on this list that has known Brian the longest... Uh oh! Kat, as she goes by, is one and a half years older than Brian and lives in Minnesota with her boyfriend Ryan! Dog lover and gin drinker - she is definitely Brian's sister! :)
Tyler Minnehan
Bridesman
Tyler and Alyssa have been friends since second grade. From elementary school all the way through college, their friendship remained solid throughout the years. A true friend is someone you pick right back up where you left off and it feels like you haven't missed a beat. From their shared love of Converse to their love of dinosaurs, Alyssa and Tyler always have a great time. Their friendship is the type that lasts a lifetime!
