Marisa & Kurt
Meet The Wedding Party
Katie Abbott
Maid of Honor
Marisa met Katie in cosmetology school their junior year of highschool. Marisa, Katie, and Maddie all lived together in college and have been through just about it all together. If you whisper " I need fun" three times in the bathroom mirror, Katie will magically appear
JJ Laseak
Best Man
The brother of the groom, so he was obligated to be the best man. Kurt and JJ have known each other for almost 29 years now. If missing from the dance floor at any point, than something is urgently wrong, please call his wife, Brittany.
Maddie Baldwin
Maid of Honor
Marisa and Maddie go back to the good old Brecksville Bees days and also all of the Bobcat days as well. You typically won't find Maddie without Katie and that's when things get dangerous (-ly fun :D)
Tony Mancuso
Groomsman
The oldest & wisest brother of the bride... you will often find Kurt and Tony on his back patio in deep conversation over a cigar and bourbon. Don't worry when you see these two in confrontation, it's not a fight... it's a dance off.
Macayla Mancuso
Bridesmaid
Marisa's younger sister, currently an Ohio University Bobcat with two open bunks in her dorm reserved for the bride and groom on the weekends. She is following in the footsteps of the bride for what it means to have a good time.
Mike Mancuso
Groomsman
The 2nd oldest brother of the bride. It would have been rude to have all the Mancuso siblings and Mike's wife in the wedding and not include Mike... so here we are. Sparks will fly on the dance floor, it's not the groom and the bride... It's the groom and Mike.
Maria Mancuso
Bridesmaid
The youngest sister of the bride. An up and coming Lacrosse all star and Ashland recruit. Please refrain from asking for autographs.
Mario Mancuso
Groomsman
The youngest sibling in the bride's family, up and coming on his teenage years, he is often described as the most popular and reasonable of the 6 Mancuso siblings. Public vote has him as the favorite, we would have to agree.
Shannon Laseak
Bridesmaid
the first born of the Laseak siblings. If you need someone to depend on, it's this girl and she does it in style. Guaranteed to make sure you and everyone else are having a good time.
Trent Kusar
Groomsman
Member of the "West C", which stands for West Concord, where Kurt and his other 5 friends grew up together and have self proclaimed themselves as the "West C". Retired player for the "Gators". Trent's Dad coached their childhood football team, the Gators, and Kurt is still trying to kiss up.... so now Trent is in the wedding party. Trent will be flying in from Texas where everything thing is bigger including the good times.
Margo Laseak
Bridesmaid
The 3rd born of the 4 Laseaks. We are convinced the movie "27 dresses" was made after this girl, as she is now a professional bridesmaid. Absolutely could not miss out on her expertise and killer dance moves. After you hang out with her for a night, you'd want her in your bridal party too.
Kyle Sparacia
Groomsman
Member of the "West C". Retired player for the "Gators". Kyle proposed to his fiance, Amanda, on Kurt's birthday. They then had their wedding on Marisa's birthday. So Marisa and Kurt are seeking revenge on this couple by one upping their wedding. Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.
Hannah Mancuso
Bridesmaid
Meet the new Mrs. Mancuso! Hannah tied the knot with Tony in October 2021,, making Hannah the bride's sister-in law. Don't let her poise-ness and politeness fool you, she is no stranger to dropping it low. Don't believe us? Ask the dj to play A-milli by Lil' Wayne.
Tom Strobel
Groomsman
Member of the "West C". Retired athlete from the "Gators". He played 4 years as a Michigan Wolverine before transferring for one final season as an OU Bobcat where Kurt and Tom terrorized the MAC conference and also Riverpark Apartment complex. People still talk about their legendary apartment, people being only Kurt and Tom.
Michaela Mancuso
Bridesmaid
aka, "KK" to not be confused with Marisa's sister, Macayla Mancuso. KK is Marisa's sister in law, who married Mike back in 2017 and are expecting their first little one this spring! Her laugh is infectious and will definately brighten up your day.
Jack Hanley
Groomsman
Member of the "West C". Retired athlete from the "Gators". A lot of people don't realize he goes by "Jolly Jack" and that's because nobody calls him that. I just made that nickname up but it could apply because I can't recall ever seeing a frown on this man.
Lexi Bender
Bridesmaid
The brides friend since undergrad, and frequently getting friday night dinners in medical school. Marisa stood next to Lexi on her big day and now it's her turn :D
Sam McGiffin
Groomsman
Member of the "West C". Retired athlete from the "Falcons", the rival of the gators. Despite all odds he was able to remain friends with the rest of the group. Legend has it, saying "it's time to party" three times in the mirror will summon Sam. Mr. Reliable when it comes to a fun night.
