The Bride Tribe and The Grooms Crew
We are so lucky to have the best, most badass group of people by our sides for our big day.
KATIE LEE
MAID OF HONOR
Katie is the bride's sister and best friend. She relocated to Traverse City in 2016, and is mom to Hanna's fur-niece, a lemon beagle named Phoebe Rae. Katie is the most wonderful Maid of Honor a bride could ever hope for.
ZACH GEIST
BEST MAN
Zach and the groom met freshmen year of college. They lived together in the dorms, traveled abroad, and are so inseparable that people often confuse them with each other.
DINA DONDIEGO
Bridesmaid
Dina and the bride first became friends at a sleepover in 4th or 5th grade when Dina was making Hanna laugh too hard and they were keeping the other girls awake. Not much has changed since then. Hanna often refers to her as the funniest person she knows.
KRISTEN FORTINO
Bridesmaid
Kristen and the bride met in elementary school and were roommates in their mid-20s in Hoboken, NJ where they spent many nights drinking too much wine and loyally watching Grey's Anatomy in it's millionth season when no one else was still into it. She is a true blue friend, and the "Meredith" to Hanna's "Christina."
HELENA GEIST
Bridesmaid
Helena and the groom went to high school together, and the bride likes to joke she's so happy to have met Nick because it made it possible to become friends with Helena. She gives the best advice and listens to the best podcasts. Fun fact: she is married to Zach, the best man.
CHRISTINE RAITT
Bridesmaid
Christine and the bride met at field hockey practice the summer before 9th grade. They're both Jersey girls who went to college less than an hour away from each other, and visited often. Christine loves a good heart to heart.
JEN RIBEIRO
Bridesmaid
Jen and the bride met in college at Rutgers when they were sorority sisters (#ZTA). Jen also lived with Hanna and Kristen, in their Hoboken Bachelorette pad. Jen now lives in Seattle.
KYLE KLEB
GROOMSMAN
Kyle is the middle Kleb brother and a soon-to-be New York City fireman!
TYLER KLEB
GROOMSMAN
Tyler is the groom's youngest brother. He is fondly known as DJ Tyler Kleb and loves a good playlist. His favorite pastime is baking muffins and brownies for Nick and all his friends. We fully expect him to cater the after party.
GIDEON LEE
GROOMSMAN
Gideon is the bride's little brother and is about to graduate from Michigan State! He and the groom first bonded over their love of video games and Game of Thrones.
EUGENE RUTIGLIANO
GROOMSMAN
Eugene and the groom went to High School together and were roommates in Jersey City. He currently lives in Ohio but talks to Nick most days to keep him updated on the goings on of his cats, Molly and Dexter.
