Bridal Party
Sadie Kitchen - Maid of Honor
Ivy's (aka Jingles') sister and Maid of Honor. Friendship established 1993. Bossing her around and providing unsolicited advice, and generally being the best older sister a girl could ask for ever since! Heard about this 'Kyle guy' Ivy's freshman year of college and have adored him ever since.
Gabrielle Bardfield - Bridesmaid
Best friends since sophomore year history class at Yarmouth High School. I knew the moment I met her she was the one (sorry Kyle). 14 years and still going strong!
Kristen Cardella - Bridesmaid
Ivy and I met the first day of our freshman year at Clarkson. We lived on the same floor and the rest is history. We played club hockey together, became DZ sisters and then somehow convinced our parents to let us go to Africa at 18 years old. We've been travel buddies ever since. I was with Ivy the night she met Kyle freshman year and witnessed them picking each other as "dates" during a game of kings. Who knew "pick a date" would turn into a wedding date! 9 years later, somehow we all ended up living on the same street in Nashville and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Abby Charbonneau - Bridesmaid
Childhood best friends ever since fighting over a plastic toy horse in preschool circa 1995. From fairy-themed birthday parties as kids to unicorn-themed birthday parties as adults. Many younger years of softball games, horseback riding, Girl Scouts, and swapping pillowcases full of Halloween candy. Followed by years of high school football games, long drives, Eric Church concerts, and study hall trips to the bakery. Now Kyvy's roommate in Nashville for many football Sundays and witness to some very amusing conversations. First heard about Kyle during the summer of our freshman year of college when I told Ivy "you're totally going to marry him." ... nine years later, here we are!
Kaylie Merriam - Bridesmaid
Ivy's sorority 'little' and friend since 2015. Ivy taught me the value of balancing working hard and having fun, and to never take life too seriously! Kyle and I are both from just outside of Buffalo, NY, so what's not to like about him? - Go Bills!
P.S. Kaylie is from Clarence, NY where Kyle's Dad grew up and many of his relatives still reside!
Kara McTamaney - Bridesmaid
My name is Kara, I currently reside in Austin, Texas. I met Ivy when I joined DZ in 2014 and we quickly bonded over causing (fun) trouble all over Potsdam. I had the pleasure of then being Ivy's roommate for a semester where I learned so much about her and Kyle, and after finally getting to meet him I knew he was a force to be reckoned with!
Emma VanDelinder - Bridesmaid
Ivy and I have been friends since we joined our sorority together at Clarkson in 2012. Throughout the years we have often had many miles separating us but our friendship has remained strong. When we get together it is a guaranteed good time; whether we are playing a game, drinking wine, or just hanging blinds.
Groomsmen
Davy Smith - Best Man
Kyle's brother and father to his first nephew!
Mike Mailhot - Groomsman
Best buds since sophomore year of college. Worked together at Cheel Arena and Streets.
Anthony Ruggiero - Groomsman
Still debating who was who's boss at Backstreets Night Club in college. Many nights of bouncing, "bar tending" and shenanigans together (both in Potsdam, NY and Norfolk, VA).
Michael McGinniss - Groomsman
Chirping each other since they met in Virginia Beach in 2016. Have been following each other in their careers ever since. The reason Kyle and Ivy ended up in Nashville!
Danny Butler - Groomsman
The older wiser cousin.
Steve Henry - Groomsman
Kyle's cousin- accompanied Kyle in the engagement ring shopping process!
