Olivia & Kip

June 18, 2022 • North East, MD, USA
Andy Woods
Andy Woods - Groomsman
Kip and Andy met on the York College swim team. After Kip transferred to Towson, Andy visited so much that our friends thought that he went there! Fun Fact: Andy loves Marilyn Monroe Strawberry Cheesecake Vodka.
Ashlyn Zikmund
Ashlyn Zikmund - Bridesmaid
Ashlyn and Olivia have been best friends and attached at the hip since high school. At the wedding, you will most likely find Ashlyn tearing up at all of the sentimental moments... and tearing it up on the dance floor!
Brandon Smith
Brandon Smith - Groomsman, Future Brother-in-Law
We are so very lucky to have Brandon joining us on Team Likes! Always ready to make an inappropriate joke (or ten) during family trivia marathons or join the crew on an all day tour of Lewes' best cocktails, Brandon fits right in!
Cam Stone
Cam Stone - Groomsman
Cam and Kip became quick friends at work, and liked it so much they decided to get a brand new job together! Cam is always up for a card game of golf, a trip to a brewery or a late-night run to Taco Bell. Fun Fact: You can tell Cam's from California because the only shoes he wears are Vans or cowboy boots.
Casey Stappler
Casey Stappler - Groomsman
Kip and Casey (and Harry!) were roommates at Towson for their senior year - and what a year it was! They quickly became close after bonding over their love of video games, beer and ordering the same entree at restaurants. Today, they are in constant communication, agonizing over the fate of the Ravens (whether it's football season or not!) and plotting to get together to relive the college years.
Di Fatta
Di Fatta - Best Man
Since they were 8 years old, Kip and Di Fatta have been best friends. After graduating from Calvert Hall together, they grew their friendship working at Philmont Scout Ranch and hiking for a million miles every day for fun. Fun Fact: No matter where Di Fatta lives in the country, he will still make the (sometimes HOURS-long) trek to celebrate milestones with Kip and Liv.
Hank Bushong
Hank Bushong - Groomsman, Brother of the Bride
As Olivia's older brother, Hank has always held high expectations for her partner. Each boy that Olivia brought home drew lower and lower marks... that is, until Kip showed up! Finally, Hank approved and Kip was in - officially invited to partake in any and all Bushong shenanigans.
Harry Walker
Harry Walker - Officiant
After meeting in college and immediately bonding over their shared criminal justice major, beer and guns, Harry and Kip decided almost immediately to become roommates for their senior year at Towson! With Casey in tow, the boys eventually found Olivia and Jaclyn and the family was set in stone.
Jaclyn Pennington
Jaclyn Pennington - Bridesmaid
The legend begins on June 25, 1993 at Lancaster General Hospital where a 4-month-old Olivia anxiously awaited the birth of her person, Jaclyn! From babies to college roommates, Jaclyn and Olivia have been best friends for over 28 years and plan to continue doing so (with Kip and Ian in tow!) for the rest of forever!
Julia Loose
Julia Loose - Bridesmaid
Julia and Olivia grew up as sisters - sharing 2 sets of parents and 2 very rude (or at least they used to think so!) brothers, living 2 houses away from each other in any given town, and even sharing in 2 Christmas mornings together because as soon as one was done opening their presents, the other would run down the street to see the others' haul. Cut to today and they are still the 2 best of friends! Fun Fact: Julia and Olivia are both very excited that they will share a wedding anniversary that will be exactly 2 weeks apart from one another for the rest of their lives.
Kate O'Brien
Kate O'Brien - Bridesmaid
Kate is the little sister that Kip never wanted and the up-for-anything friend that Olivia was searching for! On any given Saturday you can find Kate, Olivia, Cam and Kip perched up at a bar playing Golf, FTD (incorrect!) or sometimes just yelling nonsense at one another from across the table. At the wedding, you will find Kate at Olivia's side, dutifully ensuring that she always has a drink in hand and a smile on her face.
Kelly North
Kelly North - Bridesmaid, Future Sister-in-Law
When Kelly walked into Hank's life after moving to Chicago, the entire Bushong family finally breathed a sigh of relief - finally, a competent, confident girl for Hank! After meeting her in person, our sigh of relief turned into a standing ovation. Kelly is always up for a great time, a competitive game or a tour of a city and we so, so glad that Hank found the perfect person to complete our family!
Kenny Likes
Kenny Likes - Bridesmaid, Sister of the Groom
Legend has it that Kip was a mute the first 5 years of his life. But, luckily for him, it didn't really matter because Kenny used her twin-telepathy to understand his wishes and immediately get things accomplished for him! As they grew older and wiser, they learned to speak for themselves, and they both swear up and down that twin telepathy doesn't exist... however, if you watch closely, you can sometimes catch a glance between the two of them that may convince you otherwise!
Kip Likes
Kip Likes - Groom
Who is Kip? First, he has a real name... it's Christopher, weird. But more importantly, he is the perfect match for Olivia. He's the first person to hand you a beer (or ten), ask you how you want your burger (as long as it's medium-rare), the first to quote Ron Swanson, and the perfect host for Sunday game day. He is so excited to start, or more so, continue, their shared lives together. -As told by: Di Fatta
Lucy Woodrow
Lucy Woodrow - Bridesmaid
After meeting at Advance a fateful 5 years ago and immediately bonding over their shared love of Parks and Rec, Lucy and Olivia have been close… in proximity (they shared a workspace for years!) and friendship ever since! Lucy Is Olivia’s sounding board, voice of reason and her ultimate validator. At any given time they both wish that they were walking on Lewes beach, sipping leftover margaritas out of wonton soup containers and appreciating the beauty around them.
Nate Kerstetter
Nate Kerstetter - Groomsman
After meeting at York College and bonding over a shared love of late-night snacks, energy drinks and FIFA, Nate and Kip remained close all through adulthood. Luckily for Olivia, Nate began visiting Towson as regularly as Andy and they too became fast friends! Fun Fact: Nate knows more Office trivia than anyone you’ll ever meet, besides maybe the Einsteins!
Olivia Bushong
Olivia Bushong - Bride
Who is Olivia? She's the other half of every friendship; the person who cares for, loves, and occasionally mothers everyone. The perfect Kip's Chris, she is truly the most wonderful person for him. She opens her home and heart to everyone and makes sure they have a drink in hand. She will make sure you know there is room at her house, even if she wants you to leave. She is beyond excited to continue her life with Kip and perhaps more importantly Lewey. As told by: Di Fatta
Taylor Stern
Taylor Stern - Bridesmaid
Taylor and Olivia consider themselves incredibly lucky to have been with inseparable friends, Kip and Casey, since college because luckily for them, that meant their lifelong friendship could begin too! Taylor is truly one of the most compassionate and giving person you’ll ever meet. At the wedding you’ll most likely find Taylor helping someone solve a problem or making sure she and Casey are the first ones on the dance floor!
Travis Brown
Travis Brown - Groomsman
Another best friend found in the dungeons of Enterprise, Travis and Kip have talked trucks, beer and football ever since sharing a branch together years ago. Travis is the first person at the party to give up his seat (or his food, his time or the shirt off his back) to a friend in need…as long as that chair wasn’t the one he was sitting in the last time the Ravens won a game. In that case, he’s not moving!
