Our Wedding

Two sides to every story!

Rielly and I first “met” on Hinge, but we both went to the same college, Point Park University! Before we ever officially met in person, we had a hilariously awkward encounter: I was waiting for class to be over when the professor opened the door… and there was Rielly, standing in the hallway waiting for his next class. I panicked and scurried away so we wouldn’t talk—after all, we hadn’t planned our first in-person meeting yet! To cover my awkwardness, I messaged him later saying, “I bet you didn’t even realize that was me,” and he replied, “Oh I knew it was you! Even though you refused to make eye contact with me as you ran away lol.” It was funny, and luckily, he thought so too! A few days later, on February 8th, 2020, we had our first official date at the Mattress Factory Art Museum and we started dating that very night. I knew immediately he was the one. From the very start, Rielly’s genuine, kind, and funny personality shone through and it definitely helped that Angel, my dog, was instantly smitten with him too! In November 2024, Rielly proposed at the Mattress Factory, the same place as our first date, and I had a pretty good idea it was coming. We had already talked about engagement rings, so I knew he had one, but the exact day was a mystery. Then, I got a text from my friend/bridesmaid Lauren saying that she and Rielly’s friend/groomsman, Dan, wanted to take some photos at the museum “just to get some new shots” and I immediately knew something was up. Deep down, I knew the moment was coming, and when it finally did, it was the perfect mix of funny, heartfelt, and utterly memorable! We started as a family of three with Rielly, me, and Angel, and over the past five years, our little crew has grown. In March 2023, we welcomed CC, our Beagle-Pitbull mix, and in February 2025, Yuki, our Shiba Inu, completing our family of five. Rielly is incredible with all of them—caring, patient, and never truly mad, even when they’re being a little mischievous. Our home is full of love, chaos, and joy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Five years, three dogs, and countless adventures later, I still know I’m the luckiest to have found a partner as kind, loving, and genuine as Rielly. I can’t wait to marry him and continue building our life together, full of laughter, love, and even more memories with our little family. Here’s to many more years of adventures, cuddles, and joy with the person who makes every day better.

Morgan's Story

Morgan and I met through Hinge while we were both attending Point Park University, and we clicked immediately. From the start, I loved how down-to-earth and mature she was, and we were comfortable enough to have real conversations about anything right away. It felt easy to be ourselves around each other from day one.&nbsp; One of my favorite early memories is when she tried to teach me how to ski. Let’s just say it did not go smoothly—I probably fell at least 20 times, including once from the ski lift, but it was one of those days that made me realize how much fun life could be with her by my side. Her patience and sense of humor in moments like that always stood out to me…She still thinks I can learn! Over the years, we’ve built a life filled with simple joys and shared adventures. From discovering new restaurants to walking all three of our pups Angel, CC, and Yuki. We love spending our days exploring together. Angel, our 16-year-old Jack Russell, maybe older now but she still has plenty of spirit. CC, our lazy, dopey Beagle mix, is all about cuddles and comfort. And Yuki, our hyper Shiba Inu, loves us fiercely and plays harder than anyone else in the house. Movie nights are a must, especially for comic-book films, and our Mario Party sessions are competitive, chaotic, and always a blast with the pups keeping things interesting in their own ways. What made me realize Morgan was “the one” wasn’t just the big moments it was the everyday ones. I started seeing her not only as my girlfriend but as my best friend, my partner in crime, and the person I wanted to share every part of life with. That kind of connection is rare, and I knew I had found something truly special. Now, as we prepare to get married, I’m grateful for all the laughter, adventures, and quiet moments we’ve shared. I can’t wait to keep building our story together, full of love, fun, and plenty more Mario Party victories (or defeats)—with Angel, CC, and Yuki right there, keeping us laughing and on our toes every step of the way.

Rielly's Story

Our Story

Lily and I met in kindergarten, and we’ve been best friends ever since. From countless sleepovers where neither of us actually wanted to sleep to screaming at the top of our lungs at One Direction concerts, we’ve shared more memories than I can count. We’ve traveled across Europe together, survived awkward teenage phases, and celebrated all of life’s highs and lows side by side. After 20+ years of friendship, Lily has truly been there for every stage of my life, always making me feel loved and supported.

At the wedding, you’ll probably find her crying, laughing, and then dragging everyone onto the dance floor.

Lily Behm

Lauren and I met in middle school, and she’s been one of the most loyal, uplifting friends in my life ever since. She constantly makes me feel like I’m something special, but if you know Lauren, you know she’s the truly amazing one. We’ve shared countless memories together, from endless car rides to blasting (our song!!), Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon (yes, we still text each other every time it comes on.) At the wedding, you’ll definitely find her on the dance floor the second our song plays.

Lauren Bridge

Danielle and I met through work, though most of our conversations quickly turned into book talk instead of work talk (don’t worry, we still worked hard too!). Our friendship has taken us to book signings and conventions, but some of my favorite memories are the silly ones—like us scaring each other at work or spotting her as she climbed over mountains of gifts like it was an Olympic sport. At the wedding, you’ll probably find her giving out book recommendations between dance floor appearances.

Danielle Connors

Evelyn and I met in middle school, and our friendship has been full of laughs, adventures, and a few bruises (and scars) along the way! On one memorable trip to D.C., we raced sliding down a monument (Evelyn won, but we just won't talk about that part!). Later that night she convinced me to jump onto a water step… I didn’t quite make it, ending up with a scar I still have today. She’s the kind of friend who makes every adventure more fun and memorable. At the wedding, she’ll definitely be lighting up the dance floor with her energy!

Evelyn Hirst

Micheline (Miche) and I met in college while serving on the executive board for the Campus Activities Board. She’s one of the most caring people I know, always thinking of others and lifting up everyone lucky enough to know her. We’ve shared so many adventures together, from emo nights and concerts to Bop to the Top tours. Watching her grow into the amazing, confident person she is today has been incredible. At the wedding, she’ll be on the dance floor all night, drinks in hand, singing along to every song and lighting up the celebration.

Micheline Rexroad

Emily and I met in college while serving on the executive board for the Campus Activities Board. We quickly bonded over our love of musical theater, though she’s far more knowledgeable than I am! She even convinced me to join show choir my last semester, and while we never got to perform together because of COVID, we did get to share a karaoke duet that was amazing for our very first time singing together! At the wedding, she’ll be dancing, singing along, and bringing her infectious energy to every moment.

Emily Rockwell

Tristan and I have been best friends since kindergarten, which means he’s had a front row seat to all of my questionable life choices (and, to be fair, I’ve witnessed plenty of his). We survived school together, got into more trouble than we probably should admit as teenagers, and somehow still turned out okay. Through every ridiculous idea, every late-night adventure in real life as well as World of Warcraft, and every high and low along the way, Tristan has always had my back. He’s the kind of friend who feels more like family. During the wedding, you’ll catch Tristan doing what he does best, keeping the vibes chill and making sure I do the same.

Tristan Roup

Kenny and I have been friends since 4th grade, where we first bonded over skateboarding and pro wrasslin’. He’s always had a quick wit and a hilarious, self-deprecating sense of humor that makes everyone around him laugh. Having Kenny as a groomsman just feels right as we always pick up where we left off as we make our way through life and Im excited to have him be a part of this milestone. At the wedding, you’ll probably find him cracking jokes, keeping the mood light, and probably attempting Stone Cold's entrance down the aisle but no matter what, he’ll be the guy making everyone laugh.

Kenny Halt

Bob is my older brother by 6 years, which meant he was always just far enough ahead to show me the ropes. We grew up close, bonding over skater phases and all the usual brotherly chaos that came with it. These days, he’s not only my brother, but the husband to my sister-in-law Lauren, as well as a dad to two awesome boys, who will be stealing the show as our ring bearers. Having Bob as a groomsman feels like bringing things full circle. I was honored to stand by him as a groomsman at his wedding, and now I get to have him by my side on one of the biggest days of my life. At the wedding, you’ll probably catch Bob keeping an eye on his two little troublemakers… or sneaking in a few extra drinks at the bar once they’ve tired themselves out.

Bobby Iirig

Dan and I met through Morgan, and we hit it off immediately once we realized just how much we have in common. From our mutual love of Deftones and all things Kojima, to our shared appreciation for a good night at the local pinball bar. In a short time, Dan has become more than just a friend; he’s someone I can always count on for great conversation, a shared laugh, and a solid recommendation for music, games, or just life in general. He is someone who’s always up for a challenge, a laugh, and a good time. At the wedding, you’ll probably find Dan talking about movies with literally anyone.

Daniel James

Zeb is my older cousin and someone who’s known me my entire life. We first bonded at our grandmother’s house playing Super Nintendo, and to this day we still love talking video games. People often say we look alike (which I’ll take as a compliment) and he even took me to my first real concert, Coheed and Cambria. Having Zeb as a groomsman feels like having both family and a lifelong friend by my side. At the wedding, you’ll probably catch him swapping music stories, talking games, or convincing people we’re actually brothers. And honestly, I couldn’t imagine this day without him standing by my side. At the wedding you'll find him being body double when needed.

Zeb Johnson

Vincenzo and I have known each other since middle school, and even if we’ve been a little off and on over the years, we’ve always picked right back up like no time has passed at all which is a pretty rare thing to find. Most of our friendship has been spent hanging out, talking video games, trading music recommendations, and catching UFC fights, usually while keeping things as laid-back as possible. Having him as a groomsman means having one of the most easygoing and dependable friends I know by my side. At the wedding, you’ll probably find Vincenzo chilling with a drink in hand, keeping things relaxed while the rest of us run around. And if you’re lucky, he might even share some of that calm energy with you.
