Our Wedding

It all started with a chance encounter — the kind you see in movies and read about in books. From the moment we met, something just clicked. Whether it was our shared love of the Villanova basketball team, our late-night study-sessions/conversations, or the way we made each other laugh, we knew this was something special. Over the years, we've built a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure. We've supported each other through challenges, celebrated every victory (big and small), and created countless memories — from spontaneous weekend road trips to quiet nights at home. When Andrew got down on one knee and asked Lexie to spend forever together, the answer was an easy yes. Not because everything has been perfect, but because we've grown together, and we know that love is about choosing each other — every single day. We can't wait to begin this next chapter surrounded by the people who mean the most to us. Thank you for being part of our journey. We’re so excited to celebrate with you!

Our Story

The Engagement Session

Bridal Party 

Lexie and I met at Villanova (shoutout to Shannon for the intro!) and have been close ever since. From late-night study sessions to trips to Florida and the Hamptons, we always find a way to make memories and laugh. Even living apart after college, our friendship has stayed strong—we always make time for each other, support one another, and cheer each other on.

Megan Cavanaugh

Lexie & I met freshman year at Villanova while tackling mechanical engineering and quickly became close through fun nights out and long hours in the engineering building. Lexie taught me to cherish every moment—from holidays and basketball games to senior events. Even living far apart now, we always pick up where we left off. She’s been the truest friend, and I’ve loved watching her and Andrew’s amazing love story unfold. I can’t wait to celebrate their future together!

Shannon Cavanaugh

Lexie and I are only a couple of months apart, and from the very beginning, we’ve been more like sisters than cousins. Growing up we did everything together like, dressing up to go trick-or-treating, countless family vacations and cookouts, and hours spent side by side, drawing and dreaming. Our shared love of art was one of the first things that brought us even closer — we were always creating, imagining and inspiring each other. As we got older our traditions just evolved from crayons to coffee dates and real life heart-to-hearts. We’ve grown up sharing laughter, secrets and so many milestones. She’s always been my voice of reason, my constant, the one I could count on for honesty, support and a whole lot of love and truly someone I couldn’t imagine life without.

Danielle Cannady

Lexie’s my cousin, but she’s always been like a sister to me. She has seen me through everything, from when I was just a baby in diapers to now, and she has been one of the most important people in my life. I still remember the family get-togethers where we would laugh so much and those late-night sleepovers with my sister where we stayed up all night watching movies. She is someone I can always turn to. Being your bridesmaid means the world to me because it is a chance to stand by someone who has shaped so much of who I am. I am beyond grateful for you and so excited to be part of such an important day in your life.

Emma Cannady

Lexie and I met in 8th grade when I first moved to Charlotte, NC. I was nervous about starting over, but we instantly clicked. From the beginning, Lexie has been the kind of friend you can always count on. I'm so excited to help celebrate Lexie on her special day!

Anna Gedevani

Lexie and I met in middle school! We are founding members of the peach squad (our middle school group chat name with two other bridesmaids) and have been on many adventures together both in and out of the state. Although Lexie and I have never gone to the same school and now aren’t in the same state, our connection has stayed strong for many years. We can go months without talking to each other and pick up the phone like no time has passed. Lexie is one of my oldest friends and I’m beyond grateful and ecstatic to be her bridesmaid!

Grace Guin

Lexie and I met as roommates at Villanova and have been friends ever since. We made lots of fun memories hanging out in St. Moe’s, having late night study sessions and going on spring break trips. We’ve been there for each other through every phase of college and post grad life, and I am so excited to be a part of celebrating this new chapter for Andrew and Lexie!

Jessica Hoover

Lexie and I met at our first jobs after school as engineers at P&G. Working in the same department, we quickly became friends. From early mornings, to late nights, happy hours after work, and navigating adult life after college, I am thankful we have each other. I am so excited for her and Andrew in this next chapter of their lives together!

Merrin Pickford

Lexie and I go way back—we first met in 7th grade when I asked her to be my locker buddy! She had just moved to Community House Middle School, and from the moment we met, we clicked instantly. We’ve shared more memories than I can count! I could not be more excited for her and Andrew!

Sarah Margaret Sandlin

Hi! I’m Sarah, Lexie’s cousin. We grew up just a short drive away from each other and spent every holiday making sweet memories. I recently graduated from Clemson and I am currently serving in the Navy as a Nurse Corps Officer. I cannot wait to celebrate Lexie and Andrew’s wedding!

John Geager Jr.

Andrew and I met when we were in kindergarten and he sat next to me at lunch. I won’t lie, I thought it was a little funny that his lunch of choice was a bagel with cream cheese and jelly (years later I would find out that this was excellent). Nonetheless, after a couple of days, I found out that he liked Batman as much as I did and I knew we’d be great friends. From kindergarten to high school and as time went by, Andrew and I have still remained great friends sharing common interests like sports, working out, the Yankees, going to the beach and to the city, and so on. Andrew has always been a great friend, but for those who did not know him before he met Lexie, take my word when I say that she brings out the best in him, making him the best version of himself. I take a lot of pride in being able to call Andrew one of my best friends. I can’t wait to celebrate Andrew and Lexie’s big day and look forward to seeing what else they accomplish together in the future! 

Vincent Aidala

I’ll never forget the time I met Andrew (“Ski”) during the beginning of our freshman year while living in Good Counsel, our Villanova dorm. After that night, I knew Ski was one of a kind and a funny guy to be around. Over the years, we’ve shared countless memories but some moments that stand out are Ski’s famous mojitos, Netflix nights, recruiting him to my fraternity, pickup basketball, and oh yeah—living together our senior year. Our friendship has really grown since freshman year and I’m happy to say he’s one of the few guys I’ve stayed connected with post-college. Although we don’t see each other as much anymore, we stay connected through frequent, long phone calls, joking about fun times and the good ‘ole days.

Nick Bezzone

When thinking of Andrew the word that truly comes to mind is brother, and after 20 years of friendship, there is no other way to describe what our group of friends have become. From Vin introducing us in kindergarten and now getting ready to see him marry Lexie. Countless sports games as teammates and competitors, to beach days, to baseball games and concerts, biking around town, Hamptons trips, auction pickups for his Mom, bar nights, and so much more, the memories we have made together laughs we have shared are endless. From going to different high schools/colleges to now living in different states, Andrew and I have always maintained our amazing friendship with one another and always picking up right where we left off whenever we get together, Andrew is a life long friend and brother and I can’t wait to continue to make more memories with him as he enters into this new chapter in his life.

Michael Cardinal

The groom and I have been friends since childhood, even though I was a year ahead of him in school. We first played together on a 5th-grade basketball team that his brother coached, and later we ended up on the same high-school rowing team. Our friendship really grew during the later years of high school and through college, where we spent countless hours playing video games and talking about life. We’d work through whatever challenges we were facing, or just hang out and laugh for hours. After all these years, I’m honored to stand by his side on his wedding day.

Kevin Kearney

I honestly couldn’t pinpoint the first time Andrew and I met, but I can’t remember life without him in it. From getting in trouble at St. Aidan’s to, well, also getting in trouble in high school, we always have fun when we’re together. Whether it was hanging in his backyard, taking that rough 6am drive to swim practice, lifeguarding at the pool together, or anything in between, he always made the most of any situation & never failed to crack me up. It was tough when Andrew moved away but we stay in touch like he never left & cherish those hometown bar nights every time he returns. He found an amazing fiancée in Lexie and I’m so glad to be able to celebrate them.

Quinten Murphy

I’ve known Andrew for most of our lives, and I've had the privilege of sharing many memories with him. From the early days of wiffleball in his yard, movie marathons, and annually making gingerbread houses. Sleepless nights of Xbox, playing basketball on the team his brother coached, to spending countless days of summer break at the pool. I'm grateful to not only have gone to the same high school, but to have swam together for four years, sharing with him moments that I will hold to forever. Andrew's is the kind of friend you don't find often. Where you know that no matter what, there's someone who's got your back. Who will be there during the toughest times in your life. Someone you’re willing to drop everything for no matter how long it's been since you've each other. You don't make friends like the ones you've had since you were a kid. And now, I have the honor of standing next to him to celebrate this next chapter in his life.

Kieran O’Gara

Andrew and I met at Villanova, first working together on a project sophomore year. Our friendship grew junior year thanks to our study group, filling our weeknights with studying, research, late night dining hall trips, and when the situation called for it, movies about big monkeys and robots. Andrew’s humor filled some of the most stressful times of college with the biggest laughs, truly helping us all reach graduation.  I cant wait to help two of my closest friends celebrate their love!

Jake Saunders

Andrew and I met Sophomore year at Villanova through Lexie. We all quickly became great friends working on homework late into the night and making the most of every situation that we had together. Andrew is such a funny and caring person who brought joy to even the toughest of days. While it is hard to find time to get together after college, we always make sure to stay in touch with one another.
