Wedding Party
Kayleigh Miller
Maid of Honor
Lindsey's forever bestfriend who's stuck around through all the shenanigans that Lindsey has found herself in. From conquering UB together, to spontaneous trips, to be the first person to call with the latest gossip, every brunette needs her blonde bestfriend and Lindsey couldn’t imagine life without her. Kayleigh can be found eating anything cheesy and her party trick is rapping Headbands without missing a beat.
Ed Escandon
Best Man
Jose’s younger but wiser brother who managed to survive living under the same roof as him. Ed will do anything Jose asks him to whether it’s reading a book and writing the report or helping him write code to this day. They still share a love for shooting pool even though Ed has surpassed Jose’s skill level long ago. Jose can’t wait until Ed moves back to the Midwest so that he can hang out with Ed’s friends again.
Samantha Williams
Bridesmaid
Lindsey's childhood bestfriend and partner in crime through their awkward pre-teen years. Top memories include making funny (now cringy) videos, wearing matching outfits, binging Gilmore girls, and Sam always summarizing that night's reading assignment on the bus because Lindsey would fall asleep before getting through the first page. Almost 20 years later and still find themselves talking on the phone for hours as if they still live a scooter ride away from each other.
Mike Dragnich
Groomsman
One of Jose’s best friends from college who he enjoyed living with despite Mike’s high energy personality. You could find Mike and Jose playing ping pong in the lobby at 2am or having sobering conversations about life. Mike still doesn’t know how to cash out at a casino but he has grown up from waking up next to his bed after a long night. Jose is grateful for Mike’s willingness to jump on a plane to see him or loan him his dad’s car.
Kelly Durante
Bridesmaid
Lindsey's roommate turned bestie and also known as "Lindsey" to all their old UOP colleagues and vice versa. So much so that Lindsey was congratulated as Kelly for an award that Kelly received. Together they enjoy binging Handmaids Tale and dominating in Code Names over their fiancés. Kelly can be found injuring herself during a standing ovation Karaoke performance or dumping off her shots into other people's drinks.
TJ Titus
Groomsman
One of Jose’s first and closest friends from college who bonded over late nights filled with Call of Duty and cheap liquor. Their friendship has now grown to cheap beer and excessive fantasy football competition, in which TJ hit his peak years ago after the birth of his son. Don’t be fooled, he never stops working, whether it’s in the office, in the shop, or out in the fields.
Lauren-Kate Mahmood
Bridesmaid
Lindsey's very first friend in Chicago who she met playing softball and the rest was history. These new besties took on Chicago as single ladies, wearing NFL footy PJs to the bars on Sundays and hunted for the best tacos in the city, until they both met their forever guys. Lindsey is always blown away by LK’s creative talents, if you need anything elegantly designed to perfection she's your girl.
Tony Coraggio
Groomsman
Jose’s best troublemaking buddy from college who was always a couple steps ahead of him in life. With their love for heavy things, whether it was weights or machinery, it’s a miracle these two made it out of college unscathed. Whenever Tony’s wife Aleena was around, even more chaos ensured and the final addition of Lindsey didn’t help this squad either. Jose admires Tony’s family oriented ways and is proud to share the title of strongest engineer with him.
Kelly Vitello
Bridesmaid
Also known as Lindsey's "twin" throughout college and built in bestie through her husband, who hated that Lindsey was confused for Kelly more times than can be counted. Kelly is her ice cream obsessed sister and together you can find them teaching the dance floor the Wobble. She's a must have at any Bills tailgate from her baking treats and mixing cocktails to being the first person Lindsey would draft on their guaranteed to win flip cup team.
Stephen Vitello
Groomsman
Lindsey’s college best friend that stole Jose’s heart. Steve pushes Jose to never skip a day in the gym except when it includes a 10 mile warm up run. This easy brotherhood formed likely because Steve is the male version of Lindsey, just with a lot more dad jokes. You can find Steve up a mountain with his dog Reina or working on his newest party trick.
Rachel Reynolds
Bridesmaid
One of Lindsey's first friends in college, living just down the hall to eventually roommates. Rachel is the bestie that will say yes to any adventure, including together joining the UB Women's Crew team for the record shortest time, and likely the reason for half Lindsey’s questionable decisions. Chaos tends to follow Rachel and she has a lot of crazy stories to share, but we wouldn't expect anything less from her carefree soul.
Nick Kehl
Groomsman
Soon to be brother of the groom. Nick is Jose’s partner in trying to tame Lindsey after a late night out, including being on boxed mac and cheese chef duty. Despite their mild nature, together they’ve been know to break out in dance when the mood is right. Nick really put the pressure on Jose after he proposed to his fiancé, and Lindsey thanks him for that.
Nadia Escandon
Bridesmaid
Soon to be sister of the bride, Nadia is Lindsey's little sister she never had and her biggest competition in Catan. She is a creative dreamer always having the next big idea and will be the first to say yes to travel to any new place. You can find Nadia making amazing meals for her family or spoiling all her dogs on long adventures to the beaches of Michigan.
Brendan Kehl
Groomsman
Also soon to be brother of the groom, Brendan is the carefree spirit that reminds Jose of his little sister. Brendan and Jose often find themselves on the same side of disagreements at family game nights. They also share a love for perfecting a Buffalo chicken dip recipe, although Jose still isn’t sure how Brendan can eat so much of it. Jose is glad to have a brother close by now after Brendan’s recent move to Madison, WI.
Elias Williams
Ring Bearer
Lindsey's Godson and the most handsome little man. His memory and understanding of the world are well beyond his age of 4. He and Jose enjoy many games together including Doctor Sheepy and Hide and Go Chase. Together we are Elias' number one fans.
Whitney Kehl
Officiant
Cousin of Lindsey, Whitney couldn’t be more perfect for this job, one that can be added to the list of hundreds of jobs she’ll have done in her lifetime. Lindsey and her share the love of board games, a good soft serve ice cream, hosting events, and all things Buffalo. She is known for her creativity and excessive story telling so we are all in for a ride, but we cannot wait until she marries us on the big day.
