Wedding Party
Sarah Kabcenell
matron of honor
Meghan and Sarah met in diapers, as lifelong best friends do. Growing up mere houses apart, the two remained close throughout high school at Mount Saint Joseph Academy and thereafter. Sarah is the mom of the friend group, as anyone who knows her would assume. She is caring, thoughtful, and put together - making her the perfect Matron of Honor! Sarah recently married her wonderful husband, Dane, in October 2021 and the two have settled their family in Virginia.
Sarah Wells
maid of honor
Meghan and Sarah also met while in diapers, in the same neighborhood. The two had a lot in common growing up, competing on the same summer swim team (Go Bullfrogs!) and then club team (THY on 3!) in high school. They have had lots of adventures together as adults, including a trip to the 2012 London Olympics. She is smart, determined, and organized. Sarah is currently living in Georgia, where she is earning her medical degree.
Gillian Staudt
bridesmaid - sister of the groom
Gillian is the youngest Staudt sister, and amazingly giving friend/sibling to Meghan and Andrew. Gill is the third roommate in the house, and she happily shares her great cooking, top-tier sense of humor, and loud belches. She is very close to Meghan and Andrew, and they are grateful everyday for her friendship and honor. Gill is the proud mother of Stella, a giraffe at the Philadelphia Zoo. She also just opened a beautiful hair salon (Plume Salon!) in the Fishtown area, an impressive and commendable feat!
Lacey Daniels
bridesmaid
Lacey and Meghan met as brand new nurses together at Yale New-Haven. Their friendship quickly blossomed and they went from co-workers, to roommates, to soulmates in no time! Meghan was honored to be part of Lacey’s wedding in October of 2021 when she married her husband, Nick, who also worked with them at Yale. The two still reside in Connecticut with their lovable pup Lola, and Lacey is currently in school to be a Nurse Anesthetist. Go Lacey!
Kady Warsavage
bridesmaid
Kady and Meghan’s friendship started the most natural way possible - via an ad on Craigslist. Kady was her first roommate and friend when Meghan moved to Philadelphia from Connecticut. She fit in almost instantly, meeting all of Meghan’s siblings and friends the very first day they ever met. Now, Kady is living the good life with her men, Weston and Angus the Vizsla, in the PA suburbs.
Alyssa Acompora
bridesmaid
Alyssa and Meghan shared a special bond while at Fairfield University together. They both were on the swim team and struggling through the nursing program at the same time. Without Alyssa’s support and passion, Meghan probably wouldn’t have made it through either. Alyssa is currently transitioning in her role of travel nurse/nomad to health and wellness coach.
Katherine Kraus
bridesmaid
Katherine and Meghan also met while at Fairfield, as next door neighbors in their Freshman dorm! The two have shared countless adventures together. Katherine was also on the swim team as well, and studied hard to go on to become a successful Physician Assistant in New York City.
Patrick Staudt
best man - brother of the groom
Patchie and Andrew shared bunk beds until he moved out for Drexel. Unfortunately for Patchie, Andrew went to Drexel too and mooched off of him for his entire Freshmen year and then slept on the couch of whatever apartment he was living in in Fishtown every weekend after graduation. The two have traveled around the country together following the Eagles and took a few trips overseas to take advantage of cheap airfare and in typical fashion Andrew made it to 27 until he had to book his own airfare. That all wasn’t enough so Andrew asked him to be his best man and plan his bachelor party.
Pat recently moved to Cincinnati with his wife Taylor after taking on the role of VP of Operations at the pharmaceutical company that he has been working at since college.
Christopher Staudt
best man - brother of the groom
Chris has always taken Andrew under his wing from doing jumpshot drills every day in the summer at community park to showing him how to snowboard throughout high school. Chris has been an esteemed steamfitter since he turned 18 and has taught Andrew most of the limited hands on skills that he knows. He is always the life of the party and has been a been a big part of Andrew and Meghans relationship since they dated in High School.
Andrew Weiser
groomsman - brother of the bride
Andrew is the oldest Weiser sibling and one of Meghan’s two brothers. Andrew has always been a wonderful older brother to Meghan, including her in games as children or inviting her down to his Sea Isle shore house as young adults. Now, Andrew is close to the couple and visit for dinners, birthdays, and other fun events in and around the city. Andrew currently lives and works in South Philly.
Michael Weiser
groomsman - brother of the bride
Michael is the youngest of the Weiser siblings, and probably the most motivated out of the three. Meghan and Michael have always bonded over the love of all things goofy. Michael was close with Meghan and Andrew while they were all in high school, and they even all went to Fat Camp one summer at Core Creek park. Surely still the reigning trio for all of the water sports! Michael is now studying at Drexel Med with hopes of becoming and orthopedic surgeon. He lives close by Meghan and Andrew in Chinatown, and is Bentley’s favorite babysitter.
Jimmy Andrews
groomsman
Andrew’s favorite nephew. Jimmy and Andrew practically grew up together and Andrew was lucky enough to be in Jimmy’s wedding last year when he married his wife Amanda. He recently had a beautiful daughter Hadley and lives in Newtown where he has built a good career in sales.
Justin Power
groomsman
Justin and Andrew have been best friends since high school when they met in the Lasalle band. Visiting Justin in Ireland while he was getting his MBA from Trinity College was the first time that Andrew couldn’t rely on Pat to handle the travel itinerary. The two play golf together every week or two and coincidentally work together occasionally.
Brendan Kennedy
groomsman
Brendan and Andrew met playing basketball at Drexel between classes and have been great friends since. In fact they were such good friends that Andrew thought his first name was Kennedy for a year and a half until his girlfriend called him Brendan at a Halloween party. The same party that Kennedy and Katie have won best costumes at every year.
Kingston Lee
groomsman
Kingston is always the life of the party. He and Andrew met in the dorms freshman year and have spent most weekends together since. Kingston is generous with his friends and anyone else that he meets. A few times a year, he spends the weekend prepping a hundred well-cooked meals that he hands out to the homeless throughout the city. He says that he does this to “get some good juju” for sports betting; yet, the truth is that he is just a thoughtful friend.
Andrew Olsen
groomsman
Andrew and Andrew were roommates for all 5 years of college, with most of the apartments coming with bunkbeds. He was Andrew’s first friend at Drexel and even though they never had any of the same classes they spent most of their time together. And whenever Andrew was mooching off of Pat, Olsen was right there with him. Andrew was one of Olsen’s groomsmen last year when he married his college sweetheart Juliana.
Bentley
Best Dog
Bentley was Meghan’s first dog that she adopted 6 months after graduating college. Bentley, or Bean as he’s fondly known, has been an integral part of Meghan and Andrew’s relationship. When Bean was a puppy, Andrew offered to babysit to get on Meghan’s good side. Bean is a snuggly, good boy at the ripe age of 7 and loves his pawrents very much!
Finn
Best Dog
Finn is Meghan and Andrew’s youngest son, and is very good at doing all things puppy. He is a goofy boy, who loves to yell and slobber all over any friend who comes to visit. He is working very hard on learning manners like his brother Bean’s. His only road block is his lack of brain cells, but he sure does make up for it with his charm and friendliness! Meghan has wanted a Bernese Mountain Dog since the couple dated in high school, so Finn was a long time coming.
