Wedding Party

Brianna Rose Lonergan

Bride

Christian John Bryson

Groom

Amanda Siebern

Matron of Honor

Sister of the Bride MOHO! Amanda and Bri are 26 months apart but they like to think of themselves as twins. From growing up together, to always wearing each other’s clothes, to now living down the street from each other, they are quite literally inseparable. Manz, as she is affectionately known to Bri, often is able to read Bri's mind and finish her sentences. Despite being the little sister, Amanda often acts like the big sister. Their biggest adventure yet, their European excursion, really brought Amanda’s big sister energy out! She is the hostest of the mostest and one of the most intelligent students in the classroom being her grad school president. Both confident and sassy, Amanda seems to achieve perfection in all she puts her mind to, but most importantly in being an incredible sister, daughter, wife, and now MATRON OF HONOR!!

Patrick Fee

Best Man

Cousin of the Groom Patrick has practically been Christian’s brother ever since they were little. Whether it was playing outside of their grandmother’s house, spending countless hours playing video games or summers in Camp Jackie, they have always been inseparable. As they get older, they enjoy double dates with their ladies and getting to explore life together. Patrick is a man of many talents being both a civil engineer and now a full time firefighter!

Jackie Christenson

Bridesmaid

Sister of the Groom Jackie and Christian have the classic sister-brother relationship sharing a common past-time teasing each other while also being willing to drop anything to help each other. Jackie loved Christian so much that as a little kid she used to treat him as her baby doll, making a video recording of him called “The Christian Show.” She always watched him and their cousin Patrick in the summer which has been coined Camp Jackie. Jackie has always been Christian’s protector and one of his biggest role models, he couldn’t be prouder of her as his big sister. Now they both proudly work in the physical rehabilitation field as therapists. Bri and Jackie quickly bonded over their love for the beach and reading, working at St. Luke’s, and teasing Christian through all his quirky moments.

Andrew Simon

Best Man

Childhood friend of Groom "Your voice is stupid, you should make it sound more like mine." These are the first words kindergarten Drew said to Christian, and through scouts, band, sports, and all the adventures of middle school and high school they have been best friends ever since. Drew always stands out in a crowd due to his loud voice and hilarious sense of humor. Oh and good luck finding someone more passionate about Rutgers University, the New York Giants, the video game Megaman, and his dog Munson!

Kate Szafranski

Bridesmaid

Graduate school friend of Bride It would be hard to find a better hype woman for Bri than Kate! Although a semi-Olympic level gymnast and stellar Trauma PA in her own right, Kate has always gone out of her way to lift up those around her and is obsessed with living life to the fullest. She is one of Bri’s go-to girls whether it be for a last minute workout class, cheap concert tickets, trying a new restaurant, or just to come over for a glass of wine.

Daniel Siebern

Groomsman

Brother-in-law of the Bride Whether it’s fixing any household appliance, needing a unique hand made gift at the last minute, wanting the best latte you’ll ever have, or trying to get impossible to acquire concert tickets, Dan is a man who can get literally ANYTHING done. A true engineer at heart he uses his talents to serve those around him and there is no one better at being genuinely himself each and every day!

Katie Gohn

Bridesmaid

College friend of the Bride & Groom Katie and Bri refer to each other’s soul sisters which could not be more accurate. They share the same humor, level of charming awkwardness, party planning abilities, and have huge hearts full of love for those around them! Seemingly mimicking life paths as DeSales PA’s who love to party on Saturday and go to church on Sunday, these two were destined to be such close friends and continue to be in each other's lives every step of the way!

Mike Gohn

Groomsman

College friend of the Bride & Groom Seemingly an unlikely friendship as Mike started as Christian’s college calculus tutor, despite being a grade younger than him, and then Mike worked for Christian as a Campus Ministry work study. Mike is just as devout in his faith as he is in his belief that the Islanders are the best NHL franchise. Whether it’s playing sports, videogames, praying, or double dates with Katie and Bri, Mike is always a great time and an even greater friend to the bride and groom.

Dakota Wintrode

Bridesmaid

High school friend of the Bride Dakota and Bri had no other choice to be friends when they had the same high school class schedules. Their lives quickly became intertwined when they also were in the same extra curriculars, starting their mornings with 5am swim practice and ending the day with student council events. Since then, Dakota and Bri always enjoy going for long runs to fill each other in on every detail of their lives. Dakota has always been Bri's go to for advice on all the little and big life decisions and pushes Bri to be better everyday. Their love of exercise, travel, Noah Kahan, and the ocean will always keep an invisible string between them!

Chad Azar

Groomsman

College friend of the Bride & Groom Spending countless hours studying as exercise physiology majors, these two relied on their goofiness to make it to graduation. Their friendship came so naturally, they can go from joking around about SpongeBob to talking about philosophy in a moment’s time. Chad will likely be seen at the wedding carrying Christian on his shoulders or in the gym moments before the start to the big day.

Katie Brown

Bridesmaid

High school friend of the Bride All those that have met Katie Brown, know that she is the sweetest person on Earth. Her kind hearted vegetarian self, is always looking for ways to serve others. It makes sense that Bri and Katie became such good friends when they were in the Operation Smile club in high school and still bond over both being in the medical field. They continue to enrich each other's lives by spending days on the beach together, trading funny patient stories, looking for the best no-bake cookie dough, and listening to Taylor Swift, all while endlessly laughing throughout each activity!

Daniel Rogers

Groomsman

Childhood friend of the Groom From playing soccer together as kids, to crushing it in marching band, sports and music have always brought these two together. Daniel might be the commissioner of our fantasy football league, but he is also one of Christian’s day ones all the way back to kindergarten and they know they always have each other’s backs. Fun fact- their moms were roommates in college.

Riss Corso

Bridesmaid

College friend of the Bride & Groom We aren't sure whether Riss should be better known for making Baked Ziti that has saved Christian a couple late Friday nights or for her ability to ace Bri trivia every time. What we do know though is that Riss is as loyal a friend as they come and will always lift you up but also set you straight when necessary. She is an incredible physical therapist but is an even better person who always brings good vibes wherever she is!

Adrian Anatalio

Groomsman

College friend of the Bride & Groom From two kids last in the last orientation group to becoming Doctors of Physical Therapy, Adrian has been Christian's anchor through it all. Inseparable, Adrian and Christian faced all college and grad school had to offer them with faith in God, goofy humor, deep talks, long nights studying, participation in every intramural sport imaginable, and by being there for each other no matter what. You would be hard pressed finding a more well rounded, humble, and caring man than Adrian!

Karina Tramont

Bridesmaid

College friend of the Bride & Groom If you wanna talk all things Disney or cute dogs (especially corgis) then Karina is your gal. She had been friends with the bride and groom since the beginning of college often being the source of rolling on the ground laughter. As an elementary school teacher, she is incredibly creative and down to earth but also knows how to throw a party! Not to mention her ridiculous ability to never lose at beer pong!

Joe Freemont

Groomsman

College friend of the Bride & Groom A man of many talents, Joe was Christian’s college roommate, the bride and groom’s personal chef, super smash bros extraordinaire and one heck of a DJ among other things. Joe is the heartbeat of their friend group always bringing the humor and positivity. He is the definition of a BRO and if there is one guy you would want to go drink for drink with but also take home to your parents, it would be him!

Dan Christenson

Groomsman

Brother-in-Law of Groom When Dan came into the picture and started dating Jackie, Christian was only a 13 year old kid starting high school who was obsessed with sports and video games. Luckily for him so was his sister's new boyfriend and these became things they immediately bonded over. Dan has always been like an older brother to Christian and as of 3 years ago is now his official brother-in-law! Anyone who hangs out with Dan is bound to have a good time whether its watching sports, out back grilling, getting into discussions about history, or just cracking a cold one at the bar. He is the king of finding the best internet memes and is also a force to be reckoned with on the golf course. Not to mention that he is an amazing dad for his little boy Thomas!

Rose Nevius

Flower Girl

Cousin of the Bride Rosie is Bri's cousin, Noelle's, daughter. She holds a special place in Bri's heart and she has always considered herself as Rosie's aunt. Rosie always on the move! She is sweet, spunky, confident, determined, and full of energy! You can often find her running around asking everyone to play house with her. She will make the most beautiful flower girl sprinting down the aisle with a big smile and lots of petals!

Thomas Christenson

Ring Bearer

Nephew of the Groom The CUTEST, most loved, handsome nephew ever. Thomas will be stealing the show as he carries our rings down the aisle, with the help of his dad Dan, probably giggling at his favorite Uncle Christian making faces at him! By the wedding, Thomas will also be learning to bust out some dance moves and give high fives!

Peter Gohn

Page Boy

Katie and Mike's handsome son, Peter, will be our page boy! There is nothing like watching your best friends raise your little nephew! While we wished he lived closer, watching him grow up over Facetime has been such a gift. He is full of smiles and is very excited for his ever first beach trip as an 8 month old!
