Wedding Party
Lizzy Bauer
Maid of Honor
Lizzy and I met in 3rd grade when she only wore her hair in a ponytail and never let me paint her nails. We played softball together growing up and both loved being teammates with each other. She is a lifelong friend that has been there through all the ups and downs in life thus far. She is the most loyal and present friend I have ever had!
Mark Hartman
Best Man
Mark is my older brother and has been a great role model my entire life. Our bond is very unique and a strong one. From roasting each other to sending dumb jokes everyday. I’ve also known him for years. He’s a one of a kind guy and is the most unathletic of the brothers.
Andi Slyman
Bridesmaid
Andi and I met in 3rd grade at Wilder Elementary school. We have always stayed in touch throughout our years but became particularly close when we both attended Ohio University in college. Andi is always down to have a good time and you can count on her to make the best music playlist for any occasion!
Sam Horvath
Groomsman
Sam is my younger brother who is a very kind soul. He always thinks of others over himself, I was always the protective older brother which grew our relationship. He’s the second least athletic brother.
Rohan Thomas
Bridesmaid
Rohan is my younger cousin that I have always been close to. I've watched her grow up into the beautiful young woman she is. She is truly like a sister to me and our bond will always be strong. I have never belly laughed so hard or had so much fun making jokes about our brothers with anyone else..sorry boys!
Tom Solarek
Groomsman
I have known Tom since we were kids at St. Albert. We played sports together our entire lives and turned into great friends.Tom is someone you can lean on for great advice then he will proceed to roast you about it. He’s one of the most thoughtful people I know, he mailed me a “New Knee New Me” coloring book when I had my ACL surgery. So nice, great pal.
Megan Doherty
Bridesmaid
Megan has been my rock since nursing school. From staying up late studying for exams, driving through the roads of Athens, Ohio for clinicals and struggling passing our Foley catheter placements, Megan has been there for it all. You will never find a more supportive friend than Megan!
Sean McBride
Groomsman
Sean has been one of my best friends since I met him at Alter soccer conditioning summer of 2010. We went to OU together and there is never a dull moment with him. He is the definition of “let’s just go for one beer” then it turned in to staying out until 2am on a Tuesday (sorry mom). He’s a great pal.
Lera Malaschevich
Bridesmaid
Lera and I met at our first nursing jobs on the west side at Doctors Hospital ER. If any of you have ever worked in the ER, you know what a special bond you form with your coworkers. Since working in the ER we have traveled to Alaska and Colombia together. She is the best travel buddy and most giving friend you could ask for!
Michael Hauser
Groomsman
Hauser (yes that’s what we call him) has been a great friend of mine since we met at Alter. He’s got a very unique sense of humor which is one of the reasons we got along quickly. From visiting him at Ohio state to him coming to OU every weekend (literally). He’s such a caring person, so much so when he lived in Louisville for an internship he would drive to Athens to hang out with me. Great pal too.
Brian Neville
Groomsman
Brian has been one of my best friends over the years, we also met at Alter soccer conditioning when he asked if I was playing Xbox after. Everyone that knows Brian knows he will stop what he is doing, and be there for you. I finally convinced him to utilize online banking in 2017, he refused to use Venmo and other online apps. So if he owed you money, you were getting a check or exact change. He’s a good pal.
