Wedding Party

Meet our wedding party! We decided it would be fun if everyone introduced themselves. The bridesmaids and groomsmen all wrote these little bios themselves, and they hope you have fun reading them!

Brendan O’Keefe
Brendan O’Keefe - Best Man
Brendan is Peter's brother. His profession is accounting, but as boring as that may sound, Brendan is perhaps less boring. His interests include quality time with friends, the outdoors, and writing - particularly in the 3rd person.
Hannah Diley
Hannah Diley - Maid of Honor
I am in my graduate program studying to become an OTR/L. In my spare time I enjoy writing, particularly poetry, and am an avid fan of board games and most outdoor adventures. Dani and I have been buddies since elementary school so I am super excited to see her shine on her and Peter's big day!
John Andrews
John Andrews - Groomsman
I met Peter so many years ago I can't even recall. He has always been a part of my life from what I can remember. He even attended my 6th Birthday party, and if I could find the picture, I would have attached it above. Peter is a great man with great morals and I would take him to Mordor with me over Samwise Gamgee any day. I cherish Peter as a friend and I look forward to watching Peter and Danielle unite in this sacrament and grow old together.
Morgan LeVea
Morgan LeVea - Bridesmaid
Morgan is a second grade special education teacher in Western New York. She loves dogs, Church, and all things crafty. Danielle got stuck with Morgan in college and now Morgan won’t leave her alone. However, Morgan also got stuck with Danielle in college and now Danielle won't leave her alone. They’re stuck in an eternal loop of not being left alone, and are both very happy about the arrangement.
Sean Gareau
Sean Gareau - Groomsman
Sean Gareau is one Peter's weirdest but most memorable friends. But most shocking is that Peter trusts him most with cooking for the group.
Helena Fahey
Helena Fahey - Bridesmaid
Helena is from Erie, but currently resides in Iowa City, having moved there for college. Her and Dani met halfway through 1st grade, the first day that Dani took the bus to school. It's thanks to a mutual friend and the kind bus driver uniting them that day, that they've been friends ever since. Even despite their inabilities to text and the few, never long enough, meet-ups they have during school breaks, the best kind of chaos always ensues whenever they hang out.
Steven Gareau
Steven Gareau - Groomsman
Steven is an MBA student studying Accounting at Adelphi University. He is known as the Groom's best friend and he and Peter both wear matching Bestie rings at all times. Steven has a plan to unveil a trap door under Brendan during the wedding and take his rightful place as best man.
Zoe Gilbert
Zoe Gilbert - Bridesmaid
Zoe teaches first grade in central Kentucky. She met Danielle at Franciscan University, where they bonded over their shared enthusiasm for caramel lattes, poetry, and birds. Their friendship blossomed during their time spent as household sisters. Also, a rubber chicken was involved.
Conlin Jennings
Conlin Jennings - Groomsman
Conlin is an electrician, scrap metal hoarder, and one of God's silliest gooses. He has been traumatizing Peter since early childhood and has no regrets. He will be on his best behavior for Peter and Danielle's special day.
Sara Pimentel
Sara Pimentel - Bridesmaid
Sara is a Youth Minister from Arizona, but before she was a Youth Minister she was a Transfer Student at Franciscan University. Danielle found her in the depths of her newfound seasonal depression and after getting her first and only Midterm deficiency. Danielle reaching out on a whim on that day caused a beautiful and enduring friendship over a shared love of drawing, animals, prayer, and sharing warm drinks on a cold winter's day. She's absolutely honored to be Danielle's friend and bridesmaid.
Joe Jennings
Joe Jennings - Groomsman
I'm happy to have known Peter for most of my life, and we've been through a myriad of comedic misadventures together. I know him to be a great friend and a wise man, and as an electrical engineer I find it shocking how fast the years flew by. Congratulations to him and Danielle on their special day.
Katie Power
Katie Power - Bridesmaid
Katie is an aspirant for the Carmelites of St. Thérèse of Lisieux in Loretto, PA and currently lives in Steubenville, OH. She and Dani met early freshman year of college, were roommates for as long as they could, and have been found engaging in various shenanigans ever since.
