Lindsey & Ryan
Wedding Party
Kassie Darling
Maid of Honor
Kassie is the middle of the 3 Darling sisters. We’ve been mistaken as twins on several occasions! We have a lot in common between our talent of talking fast, being obsessed with our fur babies, and our addiction to red wine and charcuterie.
Ashley Darling
Maid of Honor
Ashley is the youngest of the 3 Darling sisters. We’ve also been mistaken as twins! Ashley may be my baby sister, but I look up to her for advice on health, podcast recommendations and my horoscope.
Madison Devine-Donnay
Bridesmaid
Meet my best friend! Madison and I met our Sophomore year in college at Michigan State in our sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha. All of my favorite college memories, from late nights at Rick’s to EC meetings in Zeta, include Madison.
Kayla Gerber
Bridesmaid
We call Kayla the 4th Darling sister. We’re not actually related, but you wouldn’t know it. We met at a dance studio when we were 3 and our families have become inseparable since. All of my favorite vacations, from our Mediterranean cruise to California, have been with Kayla.
Brittany Robshaw
Bridesmaid
Brittany is my cousin! Some of my favorite childhood memories include Brittany. From Cedar Point, to choreographing dances on Christmas, and hiding in our parents’ cars so the night wouldn’t end, we belly laughed our way through childhood.
Cassandra Swaney
Bridesmaid
Cass and I met at Insight Global where we still work together as co-Recruiting Managers in DC. We were roommates together for 3 years and quickly became best friends. She has the best laugh on this side of the Mississippi so be sure to look out for it on the big day!
Brianna Keefe
Bridesmaid
Bri and I met at Insight Global in 2016. We had a lot in common between being Presidents of our Sorority and working on Capitol Hill. She’s a Jersey girl with a great sense of humor and knows how to make a mean cocktail.
Dana Jacobson
Bridesmaid
Dana and I met at Insight Global in 2015. She was the first friend I made in DC and has remained one of my closest friends. We bonded over our obsession with Tequila, flaming hot Cheetos, and Corgis.
Erin Gallagher
Bridesmaid
Erin is Ryan’s older sister and my future sister-in-law. She’s quick-witted, the life of the party and has a contagious laugh!
Logan Ryder
Best Man
Logan and I met our freshman year at Virginia Tech and has been my best friend ever since. He is an avid sports fan, incredibly outgoing and one of the most genuine humans I know – Logan is a proud Marylander, dog dad, and music aficionado. I have spent numerous weekends at his parents lake house in southwest Virginia and even co-own a fantasy football team with Logan.
Karl Stockdale
Groomsman
I met Karl all the way back in 9th grade and we continued our friendship at Virginia Tech, and furthermore after moving to northern Virginia after college; Karl always finds a way to make everyone laugh and is a kind-hearted individual that is a die-hard supporter of Virginia Tech football, even during times like today where there’s not too much to support.
Kyle Kupper
Groomsman
Kyle and I were both avid volleyball players in high school and have traveled all over the country playing in tournaments together; additionally, we were freshman year roommates at Virginia Tech! He and his wife own a wonderful goldendoodle named Callie whom Benny has become best friends with.
Robbie Hecht
Groomsman
Robbie and I met at Virginia Tech through our Fraternity and became very close friends as pledge brothers – I lived with him for about 3 years across multiple apartments and can honestly say he may be the first person I’ve met that is a bigger sports fan than I am! Hecht was actually my roommate when I first met Lindsey and when we first brought Bennington home – he certainly has seen Lindsey and I grow our relationship into what it is today!
Adam Tavares
Groomsman
It’s hard to not have a good time when hanging out with Adam – known for having the most contagious laugh in our friend group, Adam’s light-hearted personality is admirable and has been a close friend of mine since we met pledging Sigma Chi back in 2012. Adam is my go-to golf partner, and has an incredible knack for keeping me level-headed even after hitting a ball 30 yards into the trees!
Colin Mulligan
Groomsman
Easily the best ‘co-pilot’ you’ve ever met, Colin and I have been on countless road trips together including one trip in particular which involved driving from Blacksburg, VA to Destin, FL, then to Tuscaloosa, AL, and back to Virginia Tech. Colin is a genuine and true friend that I was fortunate enough to meet in 2012 and have remained close friends with ever since!
Dave Salmon
Groomsman
Dave and I met during our internship after my junior year in college and have been great friends ever since – whether its winning company flag football tournaments, impromptu trips to Atlantic City, or arguing about the state of Texas football, Dave has always been a kind-hearted individual that I am lucky to call my friend.
Harrison Vance
Groomsman
Going all the way back to 2002, I first met Harrison through the Tuckahoe Little League 9-year-old all-star team! Harrison and I reconnected after college and picked up right where we left off – while much of our time is spent talking about college football, Harrison has become my informal golf coach and despite his move to Columbia, SC, we have met up multiple times for golf trips and swing lessons.
Keith Kavanaugh
Groomsman
The life of the party: Keith and I met at KPMG in 2016 and became close friends that bonded over sports and were fortunately placed on the same project right out of undergrad. After leaving KPMG, Keith and I reconnected at grad-school and helped one another struggle through juggling a full-time job and a master’s program at the same time. We now ironically both work together at DraftKings (a job that Keith helped me get) and have continued our debates over fantasy football and whether JMU is better at football than Virginia Tech!
