Kiera & Zach
Wedding Party
Maddie
Maid of Honor
Lover of Chick-Fil-A, football, and Oreos. We survived college track together which is really a lifetime achievement award in itself I am not sure how our bodies are still in one piece. Big time sports fan and could probably recite more sports stats than all the guests combined at the wedding. Spent most our college Sunday's hungover watching HGTV and I would not change that for the world. Thank you for also working cool places that I can come and visit like Arizona and now Miami. Maddie has the best messed up humor and sarcasm and will always ensure a good time when around - 10/10 good at peer pressure. Most likely to find Maddie with a glass of Montezuma tequila somewhere.
Keegan
Best Man
Oh damn... this freakin' guy! To warn everyone now, he does not stop talking and speaks highly of himself. However, he's actually one of the nicest guys you could meet and if you're close enough with him, he'll always have your back and speak highly of you, too. From humble beginnings of being degenerates together pledging to a fraternity to getting blinded drunk many weekends in West Virginia on Cheat Lake. Zach and Keegan have been through the wringer, to say the least. Fast forward to senior year at Robert Morris, Keegs and Zach drove all the way from New Orleans with friends just so they could extend their spring break a few extra days. This is the trip Zach and Kiera fell in love so needless to say Keegs was a big part of that. He'll be blasted at the wedding which is no surprise.
Becky
Maid of Honor
Lover of all sports and the beach. Childhood best friends, we survived our first girls holiday in Spain at the age of 18 (Becky lied she was actually 17 but you needed to be 18 for the resort). Wouldn't know what to do without this girl. Most likely to find Becky would be with a rum and coke on the dance floor!
Adam
Groomsman
May be short in stature, but man is he a genuine dude! He and Zach have known each other since high school. We may not have been the most popular, but we were still pretty cool (in our opinion). Adam may actually be one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Zach became close with his family. They even went on a trip with them and Mainza, too. This guy loves himself some Crown Royal, appreciates good ol' exercise, and thinks he has the best abs (but Zach's are better heh heh). He may appear to look 15 instead of 13 at the wedding. Zach requested him to grow out his beard so everyone be sure to give him a compliment.
Sam
Bridesmaid
Pretty much my sister I never had. Best friends throughout college and her family is my second family - we have spent many holidays together I don't think I would still be in the USA if it wasn't for her and her family's support through the tough times of being away from home! She loves all things outdoors and will be pounding beers and showing off her dance moves for sure.
Nick
Groomsman
You're my boy, Niiick! Nah, but for real, one of the most down-to-Earth guys you could meet. Zach and Nick first met around the start of high school. They met through some mutual friends and eventually became close. Can't tell you how many fun times we had over at his parent's house. From parties, to testing out different moonshine his brother would pick up, to just having pool days and playing Xbox. A lot of good memories were had between these two damn good looking men. If you want to get on this guy's good side, mention how awesome he is at swimming. Dude is literally a walking fish; can swim his ass off and can drink his ass off! If he asks for a drink, any bourbon will do. He may also have some of the best dad-esque dance moves around so watch out on the big day!
Amanda
Bridesmaid
This girl needs some CREDIT. She survived all 4 years living with me through college. I really don't know how anyone could survive going through that so if you see her give her a high five. I am beyond lucky to call you my best friend and for you sticking by my side through all the good and bad times, and for going to AA classes with me when we got our underage haha. Thank you for the many amazing spring breaks that we have been on together and spontaneously going to live in Florida with me for 2 months after college. She is probably one of the most hard working and determined people I know. Also s/o for always helping me with my Math homework - I probably would have failed some college classes without you (: Most likely to find Amanda on the dance floor also!
Dallas
Groomsman
What a freakin' character this guy is! Zach and Dallas first met in college freshman year. He was one of Zach's first friends he made in college. He's quite the goofball, though. One of the nicest guys you could meet, but can also conjure up some good comebacks. This wannabe baseball legend of Robert Morris was always up for a good time. Zach recalls the time of Dallas' 21st birthday when everyone went down to the South Side bars in Pittsburgh to celebrate. Needless to say, Dallas was fueled to the brim with alcohol. Zach had to throw Dallas over his shoulder to carry him back and at one point had to pull his pants up as he kind of dropped them on the way back to the car to go home, haha. Dallas is a genuine person who is always looking for a good time. The original Buschhh Light advocate.
Evie
Bridesmaid
Probably the wildest friend I have and wouldn't want it any other way. Always know we will have the craziest nights out together full of laughter and memories. We actually hated each other in high school but became best friends after! Most likely to find Evie lifting some weights in the corner somewhere!
Jared
Groomsman
Jared! That son of a b... Sorry. Forgot this was open to the public, haha. Zach and Jared always say that to each other when they meet up with one another. Look up the iconic scene from the movie "Predator." Zach and Jared's arms may not be that large, but they certainly pretend they are. Zach and Jared had become close friends over the course of college. Zach always making friends who stay fit and head to the gym. If you're looking for a dynamic duo of exercise enthusiasts who can throw back multiple shots, then look no further than these two! Jared is a great guy with a smart head on his shoulders. If you start to talk with him at the wedding, remember he's an engineer so be sure to tell him to dumb everything down for you. This guy is fueled by Disaronno and patriotism.
Kat
Bridesmaid
The kindest, loyal, most artistic soul but mess with her pet chihuahua Peanut and she will come for you! I am so lucky that Zach and I's relationship allowed me to become best friends with her! She was our officiant at our last Florida ceremony and can't wait to have her by my side. Most likely to find Kat on the dance floor for sure.
Mainza
Groomsman
ZACH'S BROTHA FROM ANOTHA MOTHA! The Water Buffalo himself! Zach and Mainza actually started out hating each other freshman year of high school but soon enough became best friends. Zach recalls all the fond memories; especially the one where Mainza came to the first football practice in just shoulder pads (no jersey) and these BRIGHT orange plaid shorts. He always wants to be at the center of fashion so this is something Zach (and eventually, Kiera) would come to learn. By day, he's a part of the U.S.'s military, but by night, he's the biggest princess. It will probably take him hours to prepare for the wedding, but everyone will love this guy. He may be a bad communicator, but he has a big heart and always looks after his friends. He'll be the weirdo clinging to Fireball all night.
Marlee
Officiant
The girl who started Zach and I's whole relationship. Without this girl there would be no Zach and Kiera so we pretty much have to thank her every few weeks! Marlee is the most caring and thoughtful person I know we lived in a suite together during college and also were on the same track team for all of college. She is a big lover of sports also - if you ever need Black Hawks tickets she is the go to! I would also like to note that I helped Marlee pick out her first pair of skinny jeans and non athletic shoes since you will typically find her in strictly sports gear! Whatever you do don't give her any Vlad!!
Shane
Groomsman
The walking, talking, drinking, and singing human gazelle! Shane is one of the most spastic, whacky, and wild individuals you will meet in this lifetime. Once a former contestant on the iconic show "The Voice," he later found himself (unfortunately) becoming friends with the groom himself. They both were in the same fraternity together and couldn't even begin to tell you all of the s*** they had gotten into, haha. You'd always find these two together with some of the others in the wedding party. Even when he left us all at Robert Morris to go to Slippery Rock, we made sure to visit whenever possible. Nothing beat going to visit you and your parents back at your house. What wild New Year's Eve parties. He is one of the songbirds of this generation. We may just see him sing for all of us!
Toddy
Bridesmaid
Thankful our first job at the clothes store brought us together. Always down for an adventure and we have the absolute best memories travelling the US and Slovenia together. She is genuinely one of the most kindhearted- selfless people I know. Most likely to find Toddy drunk off a few drinks and giggling.
Ryan
Groomsman
This freakin' guy.. oh boy! Needless to say, Ryan is one of those guys that is casually there, but you come to grow attached to the little guy. He may be the biggest smartass (emphasis on both words) you'll ever meet, but love this guy to death. If you need the perfect guy to help you finish drinks while blurting insults at you, he's the prime choice. Ryan is, however, a genuine person when he intends to be. He has a good heart, but his liver maybe even stronger. Zach met him through Keegan and Shane at Robert Morris. I will say this dude is pretty good when it comes to soccer (both on and off a real and virtual field), drinking on any occasion, and passing out naked on toilets. May have flooded Keegan and I's apartment. Be on the lookout for this gem when he's cheesing and stumbling!
Mia
Bridesmaid
My sweetest younger cousin/mini me (: Mia is a judo CHAMPION - so watch out she is not one to mess with! She also loves all things outdoors especially surfing. She can cut some awesome dance moves so don't challenge her to a dance off either because you will more than likely lose.
