Erin & Sean
Wedding Party
Kelly King
Matron of Honor
Kell is my sister and has been my best friend since 1994! Thanks Mom & Dad! We always have the most fun together, from watching weird videos to rocking the dance floor. We could spend hours on the phone not even talking (which drives Sean crazy!). Kell knows what I'm thinking before I even say it. She is genuine, kind, loving, and hilarious, and I wish we lived closer because I miss her so much! (Move home soon!!)
Nick Nutting
Best Man
Nick and I met in highschool through a mutual friend of ours, John. We didn't go to the same school, but through many hangouts we became friends. Towards the end of college, we became roommates; sharing many late nights at Hemingway's together. Those years boast some of my favorite memories. Hosting countless cookouts and parties, sharing heartfelt stories of our upbringing, waking up (and sometimes not) early for golf after a late night out on the town, and sometimes just chilling on the couch after work. Nick has always been there for me and many other friends in our group and I'm lucky to have him as a best man!
Micki Pitaro
Matron of Honor
Mick is my sister and has been my best friend since 1992! We've done everything together - getting cell phones and shaving our legs at the same time, growing up dancing together, going to VT and being roommates, having the same friend group (which I used to hate but is now my favorite thing!), and now, hanging out all the time with my favorite two nephews. Though Micki is my little sister, I look up to her so much. She is the best mom & wife, and I aspire to be like her. I wouldn't trade our friendship for the world!
Drew Silinski
Best Man
For almost as long as I can remember, Drew and I have been friends. We met in elementary school and spent many summers having sleepovers, playing video games, airsoft, basketball at Hale Park, and swimming in various pools. Even though Drew and I went to separate middle schools, high schools and colleges, we've always remained close. Drew is the reason for all of the Slippery Rock additions to the friend group who I also became close with after many weekend trips back and forth. Drew is always the life of the party and sure to make you laugh. He'll likely be the third best-dressed person at the wedding behind Erin and I, of course.
Julia Denison
Bridesmaid
Jul was my first ever friend, since I was 4 months old!! She's my go-to for fun Pittsburgh stuff - from Kennywood to Steelers games, concerts, and of course - the duck! I'm so grateful our parents worked together all those years ago and have been best friends for 31 years because my life would not be the same without Julia. The Denisons are truly my second family.
Jake Kuczynski
Groomsman
Jake and I became close friends after college when we lived together at Ruth Street - the glory years. He was one of the many friends that I met through Drew from Slippery Rock. Over the past few years, we've shared a few international trips together; exploring Iceland, Germany, and Amsterdam. Spent many nights hosting dinner parties, competing over who can build the best fire, and arguing over what the definition of a "corner" is... yup. For a while there back when most of my good friends were getting married and starting families, Jake was the only one that would ever come out with us on a weeknight to play trivia at Bigham. It was a long running joke that Jake was always the third wheel in Erin and I's relationship, so it's only natural for him to be a part of the wedding party. It also helps that his new fiancé is Erin's best childhood friend and bridesmaid, Julia.
Courtney McNary
Bridesmaid
Court and I met in Ms. Reiff's 8th grade science class, and she has been one of my best buddies ever since. Thanks Moon Middle School! Courtney is always down to hang, and we've had the best times out in Southside, playing game of things til 3 am, and making the best summer bucket lists. Thank God for Court introducing me to Sean all those years ago at Mario's 3rd floor. The absolute best wing woman ever!
Anthony Conti
Groomsman
Anthony is one of my longest friends that I grew up with. I can't remember exactly what grade but it had to be at least 2nd or 3rd. Our dad's were both self-employed tradesmen so even they became great friends as we were growing up. There's way too many memories to list every one of here but I'll share a few. We spent many great after-school days playing hockey in Dan's street, amazing summers playing airsoft in my perpetually half-done addition, and shared in stories of miserable middle-aged men working at MSDG. I'm very thankful that Anth and I have stayed close after all of these years and I hope there are many, many more to come! BTW, Anth is a up-and-came videographer and photographer, so if you need one for your next event, say hi at the reception!
Sarah Yankello
Bridesmaid
Sar has been my dental school BFF since before dental school started. We met in January 2015 and decided instantly to become roomies. I could not have made a better decision. Sarah and I share a love for Shrek, the weirdest youtube videos, stuffing grapes in our mouths, and cocktail sauce. Now time for her to move back to Pittsburgh so we can work together!!!
Mike Hajduk
Groomsman
Mike is another one of my oldest friends. We became acquainted at good ole SSJ and have been friends ever since. Even when Mike went to a different high school AND college, every time he'd come back to visit his parents, we'd get together and it was like he never left. Both Mike and I spent many many summers having sleepovers and playing video games at his house and mine. Quite often we'd overload ourselves on caffeine, stay up until 4, 5, 6am, and then "call in sick" to school the next day. Neither of our parents approved of this very much. To this day Mike and I remain close even though we don't talk all of the time. Him and his family have been there for me through a lot "life" over the years and I can't begin to express how thankful I am to have him by my side for this big day!
Casey Dacey
Bridesmaid
Case was with me since day one at Virginia Tech! Somehow we ended up right next door in Slusher Tower and had almost every single class together. She luckily put up with me always being late and speed walking to class. Thank goodness, because every single college memory I have is with her. From dancing on our countertops to cruising the Caribbean, from barefoot blue jean nights to swimming in the Ionian Sea, we have the best memzZz ever!
Joe Tersak
Groomsman
Even though Joe and I went to the same high school, we actually didn't become friends until halfway through college. After Joe transferred to Pitt and began living one street over from me on Lawn, we started to hang out more and go to each others parties. Eventually, Joe's place ceased to exist (don't ask me what happened) and he moved in with me and 2 others on Ophelia. It was here that Joe and I really became close friends, even though he always ate all of my oatmeal, never threw his gum wrappers away, and never washed his dishes with soap. Needless to say we're pretty sure there was a hole in the sink when we finally moved out of that place! Joe and I have shared many good times together and some bad. We still have dreams of being part of "Seal Team 6" even though we've long passed the age of recruitment. Joe, thanks for keeping me in some sort of shape in college and always being there for a good time when times were not always good.
Bethanie Moreschi
Bridesmaid
Bethanie is my "cousin" - stay with me here - my dad's cousin's husband is her grandpa's brother... lol okay, quite a stretch. Thanks to our mutual cousin Christina, we met when we were babies and didn't see each other again til Christina's wedding. After playing kickball together and countless trips to the river, we quickly became like family again. Bethanie is the best third wheel to our dates and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Nate Moreno
Groomsman
Ah Nate, my fellow paisano! Nate and I didn't start hanging out much until halfway through college. For a while he was just a funny guy that Nick knew from the Army. Over the years, as we began hanging out more and more, we became close. Nate and I could quote movies all night, laughing to the point of tears. One night at the VFW, we were watching a Steelers game, pretending to commentate the game like Bill Hilgrove and Tunch Ilkin. Some regular bought our 2 dollar beers all night just for the free entertainment. Nate is a fantastic storyteller and does one hell of a Billy Gardell impression. I'm sure you'll hear it at some point during the festivities!
Katie Harlowe
Bridesmaid
Katie is my cousin, and I could not be happier that in our family, cousins are like siblings! Except that we don't see each other enough at all. Luckily, we were in college at the same time with weekly fam dinners, and have had our yearly trip to OBX where we fit 30+ people into one house. We've always had the best (weirdest) inside jokes and most amazing family memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.
Jimmy Knepper
Groomsman
Jimmy, as you may have guessed, is Erin's brother and the baby of the family. Unlike the other two sisters, Jimmy welcomed me into the family almost immediately (in person at least) :) and is one of the most thoughtful and genuine people that you'll ever meet. I'm extremely proud to have him as a brother-in-law and I hope that I can make him equally proud to take care of his sister. I can't wait to create so many memories together. I look forward to great milestones ahead!
