Wedding Party
Patti Flanagan
Maid of Honor
Meghan's ride or die since day one. The ultimate big sister who loves to throw a party of her own. Known for her affinity for a good time and type A personality, she's responsible for helping Meghan pack for many trips, keeping the entire family organized and planning double dates with Rob to the latest Marvel movie.
Emily Penn
Matron of Honor
Meghan's best friend since third grade. Their relationship did not get off to a solid start (a story for another day) but is stronger than ever and still thriving 25+ years later. They've played on countless sports teams together including college lacrosse. Their closest thing to a fight was when Meghan ignored Emily's fantasy football advice earlier this season.
Anna Flanagan
Bridesmaid
Anna, Meghan's sister-in-law, has been part of the family for over a decade. From ECU football games, to NC visits, to trips down the shore, Meghan counts her blessings that JD landed her! Fun fact: she's a world-record holder in masters swimming!
Karie McGuire
Bridesmaid
One of Meghan's lacrosse teammates at Rutgers who quickly became a best friend for life and most compatible travel partner. Karie was Meghan's near neighbor when they both lived in Old City and had a front row seat to the early days of Meghan and Rob's relationship. Karie will also be officiating the ceremony and undoubtedly leading the charge on the dance floor.
Mara Sardella
Bridesmaid
Mara was introduced to Meghan as one of Karie's best friends from home and after an epic cross-country road trip following college graduation, a lasting friendship was forged. Mara is fiercely loyal, the curator of good times and good meals and always has a good restaurant rec.
Rose Schmalzbach
Bridesmaid
Rose is Rob's sister and someone Meghan has shared many laughs and fun moments with over vacations, holidays, dominoes and memorable family meals. The only Gen Z member of the bridal party, she'll undoubtedly raise our cool factor.
Greg Heller
Best Man
Greg is Rob's oldest friend and happens to also be his brother. Greg may well be the most well-known person in Philadelphia (somehow everyone Rob meets knows him) and the father of his nephews (also our ring bearers). Fun fact: 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon is way more fun with him!
Jonathan Dougherty
Best Man
Jon AKA "Doc" is one of Rob's oldest friends and his former roommate in the "Great Northeast". King of Country music, face paint, sports number trivia, and taking Rob out to cooler restaurants than Meghan does. Doc also would probably do better than Meghan at playing the newlywed game with Rob.
Tom Bergeron
Groomsman
Tom was the first person Rob met at NYU and is the person to have lived with Rob the longest post high school. Tom is the lord of lights and very well may have designed the lights for the building you are walking by right now. Rob and Tom are also frequently mistaken for each other in photographs.
Andrew Couchara
Groomsman
Andrew AKA "Cooch" can lay down a beat, diagnose you with a single text message or photo, and allow visiting hours with his poodle Chili. Cooch has been playing poker, trivia, and hanging out with Rob since high school and may now be forgiven for beating Rob out for High School Homecoming King.
Ryan Cox
Groomsman
Ryan AKA "Cox" has been doing dorky activities with Rob for YEARS. Wrestling video games? Check. Binge watching Sci-Fi shows? Check. Making lists of most important cheesesteaks to try? Triple check! Cox is also most likely to call and check-in just when you need it.
JD Flanagan
Groomsman
JD is Rob's most recent friend of the groomsmen and probably the most ferocious Philly sports fan ever (despite now living in North Carolina). They have laser-tagged, cheesesteaked, and ghost toured together with more to come. Oh yeah...he is Meghan's brother too.
Josh Isaacs
Groomsman
Josh was the first person Rob met in theatre classes at NYU, became a regular collaborator for plays and musicals, and later became a roommate. He is now a regular visitor to Philadelphia working towards his MBA at some mediocre school called Wharton (UPENN). Can we convince him to move to Philly from NYC? We shall see.
Josh Krause
Groomsman
Josh is Rob's bestie from grad school at Indiana University. Josh definitely pushed Rob's dorkdom to new levels through anime, video games, and Epic Rap Battles of History. Josh and Rob frequently play video games together because he lives too far away in Milwaukee.
Louis Kugelman
Groomsman
Louis AKA "Sweet Lou" is the definition of a Mensch. Louis and Rob have spent many years in band, chorus, theatre, sports, and hanging for a nosh. Louis is one of the original poker group members and Rob's go to call when he needs to fix things.
