Wedding Party

The Bride & Groom

Tamsin Tilley
Tamsin Tilley - Maid of Honor
Tamsin and Devon met during grad school at King's College London where Devon saved Tamsin from a tree and force fed her hot dog buns to soak up a very boozy lunch. They've been inseparable, oceans aside, ever since. Tamsin was Devon's rock and saving grace during the summer of Dissertation writing and the two try to meet up whenever on opportunity, or work trip presents!
Chelsea Calabro
Chelsea Calabro - Bridesmaid
Chelsea and Devon met at Looking Glass, her first real job post-grad. Chelsea had just become a vegetarian and lunches of microwave broccoli with hot sauce were the norm so Devon did her best to provide additional vegetable nutrition when possible. Despite the distance, Chelsea is always down to visit whether it's a Halloween Party in FXBG or a trip to Cape Cod, she always makes the effort!
Jackie Herbert
Jackie Herbert - Bridesmaid
Jackie, known as short Jackie in our group, was introduced to Devon by her lovely fiancé Matt. Jackie lived next door to Matt's parents when they first started dating. Jackie is now a staple at the Sno-Blower party circuit. Just make sure you have enough 'Jackie juice' (Highclere Gin) on hand. Jackie and Devon share a love of Halloween, just make sure you watch out for Jackie lest she steal your Zombie Flamingo and take him on a whirlwind adventure.
Lindsay Cejka
Lindsay Cejka - Bridesmaid
Devon met Lindsay on her wedding day (also 10/12)!! Devon was a quasi-surprise plus 1 to the event. But luckily Lindsay forgave Matt for his lapse in communication and she and Devon have been fast friends ever since. Lindsay and her wife Ashley regularly vacation together and whether it's camping or trip to the OBX it's always a fantastic time with Lindsay!
Jeremy Cockerham
Jeremy Cockerham - Best Man
Jeremy and Matt met in sixth grade while attending St. Anselm's Abbey School. While they were sworn enemies for 3 years, their friendship blossomed in 9th grade after realizing that maybe, we were actually kind of cool. That or Stockholm Syndrome...They've maintained a strong bond and friendship ever since high-school. Matt regularly visits Jeremy in Richmond/Colorado/Miami/{insert current city here}.
Ashley Sanks
Ashley Sanks - Groomslady
Ashley and Matt met in Boulder, CO (Skooo Buffs) back in 2015. They got to know each other over many Lunchboxes at Illegal Pete's, the foundation of any strong friendship. After Matt moved back to Alexandria, Ashley followed suit, moving to Washington D.C. Ashley quickly became a regular in our D.C. friend circle, and even invited Jeremy and Matt to attend her first date with her wonderful, now-wife, Lindsay Cejka.
Giuseppe Niosi
Giuseppe Niosi - Groomsman
Another St. Anselm's Abbey School chum, Giuseppe and Matt met in 8th grade and immediately bonded over a shared love of music, sport, and middle-school-boy humor. Despite Giuseppe being the only good wrestler, Giuseppe and Matt both captained the St. Anselm's wrestling team. They maintained a strong friendship following high-school, culminating in many great memories and adventures over the years.
Joe Scholle
Joe Scholle - Groomsman
Joe is Matt's amazing brother in-law. Matt first met Joe in 2021 when he first starting dating Matt's sister, and they immediately hit it off. Joe and Matt share a love of sports, dogs, philosophy, and parlor games that confuse people more often than entertain them. He is the bestest bro and very tall and Catholic.
