Ashley may be my cousin, but growing up she filled the void of the-sister-I-always-wanted and proved to be a particularly good/bad influence during our college years. We became "actual" sisters when I followed in her footsteps to join Theta Phi Alpha at Pitt. She's been my partner-in-crime for decades now, I'm so exited to have her by my side for this momentous occasion. I only hope she ugly-cries half as much as I did at her wedding.

One of my longest friends, Taylor and I bonded over straw Steve Madden wedges in 6th grade Sunday school. I knew immediately that she had impeccable style, which I've been trying to emulate for years. Through high school and college, we've remained each other's best cheerleaders and she's been the Tina to my Amy. When she gets married in November 2016, I can't wait to stand by her side!

I like to think that Megan and I both accidentally ended up in a sorority as fate's way of bringing us together. We're so similar it's sometimes/often scary but it makes it all the more fun. As she continues her education in clinical psych, she's gotten a lot of practice as my pseudo-psychiatrist over the years. Her rational but vibrant nature will keep us all sane.

Kate and I met moving into our freshman dorm in 2010. That year we were neighbors but soon became inseparable (sort of like an old married couple but with more pizzaz) for the next 4 years. Prior to her leap into medical school, we adventured to Dublin and Paris where we proved that carbs can and should be the center of a happy diet. Being my original "spouse" during college, I'm so glad she's a part of this big day!

Maurizia is my future sister-in-law, travel aficionado and overall hostess with the mostess. Not only does she throw a killer party, but she shares similar passions for being a dog-mom, cooking up a storm and eating assorted cheeses. Thank goodness she survived all those years of living with Jesse, because I'm excited to have her as my sister!

Jason and I met in architecture school through a shared passion... the Steelers. Both in need of Steeler support in Saint Louis we came to watch many games together, and still talk football regularly. We also spent countless weekends and nights over the course of a year building an architectural model for a museum in Helsinki Finland. From time to time Jason has been known to get hangry and need a Thai crunch bowl....hopefully the food at the reception will suffice,

DJ is a roommate from a different decade. Known for his clean Air Jordans, and his ability to drop a set of 40lb dumb bells in a second floor dorm room. We spent countless nights finishing up homework and telling jokes. Any good attributes of my golf game can be accredited to DJ.

Sam and I met during architecture school where we both shared a passion for architecture and practical jokes. Our time in school also included a summer together as roommates in Barcelona. Sam currently resides in Philadelphia where he designs cutting edge building fascades.

Known as "Pistol Pete" by many, you can often hear this guy coming from a mile away on his Harley, or catch him zipping around in his compact little orange Fiesta. After all those years of torturing his little sister, it's only fitting that he should be at the altar making goofy faces during the ceremony.
