Samantha & Kyle
Wedding Party
Katie McVay
Maid of Honor
She was born into this role as she is the older sister of the bride to be!
Matt Yapaola
Best Man
Matt has been preparing for this role for the last twenty one years, after meeting Kyle in the first grade. He became the brother of an only child who never wanted a sibling. Their friendship has spanned numerous vacations, concerts and late night video game sessions. It's only natural to have Matt stand next to his best friend on our day.
Cara Sweeney
Bridesmaid
Cara is Sam's older cousin but is more like a sister. They've clocked thousands of hours together, traveled the world with one another, and had countless sleepovers. Sam moved Cara into college and into her first apartment and now Cara gets to stand up next to Sam as she marries the love of her life.
Austin Acres
Groomsman
Austin was the first friend Kyle made at Saint Joe's. The "Jersey kid" and "Cali boy" roomed together the next three years. Through the good times and bad times, they always had each other, and also, ping pong.
Mary Kate Latta
Bridesmaid
MK and Sam met freshman year in Quirk Hall at SJU. After rooming together both sophomore and junior years, Mary Kate knows all Sam's secrets. Life and the wedding wouldn't be the same without this best friend!
Jordan Leister
Groomsman
Jordan is Kyle's younger cousin. Having stood side by side at Nancy's wedding, Kyle knew from day one that Jordan would be by his side during his own.
Kelly Langone
Bridesmaid
Kelly is Sam's "non cousin, cousin" as they like to put it. Kelly has been a fixture in Sam's life since before Sam was even born. Sam had the honor of being part of Kelly's wedding day to Mike and Sam's wedding wouldn't be the same without Kelly standing by her side!
Connor Bear
Groomsman
As Sam's cousin, Connor goes above and beyond for his family and instantly welcomed Kyle into the fold. Through their love of sports, the two have been able to bond despite their Eagle's/Pat's rivalry. No matter which team is winning, Kyle is honored to have this Patriot's fan in his wedding party.
Julie Ranbom
Bridesmaid
Julie and Sam met in the summer of 2013 and spent the rest of their days at SJU inseparable. Spanning years and multiple states, their friendship has remained a fixture in both their lives. Sam was honored to be there for Julie and Dan on their big day, and is excited to have Julie do the same for her.
Amanda Leithead
Bridesmaid
Sam met Amanda whilst on a service trip at Saint Joe's. Anyone who knows Sam knows how much "Apex" meant to her. Amanda and Sam instantly connected through their love of sarcasm and higher learning. Sam is so lucky to have Amanda take time during a rigorous PhD program and be there for her on this day.
