Claire & Michael
Wedding Party
Maggie Dickinson
Maid of Honor
Maggie lived across the street from me when we were 7 and 8 respectively and our fathers were stationed at the same Air Force base in England. Despite several moves for both of our families since then, we've never let physical distance get in the way of our friendship and have remained best friends for the past 21 years.
Ham Suffety
Best Man
I met Ham through fellow groomsman, Jake Kowalski, while they were suite mates at Michigan State. Ham and Jake were hanging out so I joined them and we have been friends ever since.
Allison Kim
Bridesmaid
Allison and I first became friends when we found each other on Twitter tweeting about an FSU football game. While we were both freshmen at FSU at the time, I was studying at the London campus and she was in Tallahassee. We talked nearly every day until I moved to campus and we became in-real-life friends, and later roommates!
Terence Gipson
Groomsman
Terence and I met attending classes at Michigan State together. We had a few classes together my junior and senior years and soon began to hang out outside of class as well.
Nicole Mancini
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I met on our first day of high school in gym class and bonded over our shared love of comedy. We spent many a Saturday night having sleepovers and staying up late to watch Saturday Night Live.
Jake Kowalski
Groomsman
Jake and I met through mutual friends in high school and attended Michigan State together as well. Through the years we have enjoyed everything from game nights to fantasy football leagues to everything in between.
Moriah McLaughlin
Bridesmaid
Moriah and I met while working at Union Productions at Florida State. We quickly became friends, and later roommates when we both moved to New York after graduation!
Steven McCleskey
Groomsman
Steven is my future brother-in-law. Through the years we have bonded over football, video games, and cooking.
Addie Smith
Bridesmaid
Addie and I met in 9th grade English during an ice breaker. We had lunch after where we discussed the Jonas Brothers and have been friends ever since.
Jonathan Sherman
Groomsman
Jonathan and I originally met through a networking event in DC. We were fast friends and quickly began hanging out outside of networking events.
Jackie Viselli
Bridesmaid
Jackie is Michael's sister and my future sister-in-law! Ever since meeting through Michael, we have bonded over a shared love of pasta, Disney Channel Original Movies, and British comedy shows.
Brian Watts
Groomsman
Brian and I met when I was looking for a roommate in DC and he was looking for a room. While we did not end up living together, we stayed in touch and became close friends.
Kristen Hong
Bridesmaid
We first briefly met when I saved Kristen and some friends second-row seats at an FSU football game. We later became friends when we traveled to Charlotte to watch FSU win the ACC Football Championship together!
