Our Story

The Groom's Starting Lineup

The groom’s dad and best man: a duo who tackles sports, life lessons, and personal grooming together. Their secret? A lot of jokes, a little neck-shaving, and a whole lot of love.

Tim Hedgespeth

The brother Tate always wanted. The brother-in-law Ali never asked for.

George Kosmach

Johnny and Tate have been friends since elementary school, meaning Johnny has witnessed every awkward phase, bad haircut, and questionable decision Tate has ever made—and somehow stuck around.

Johnny Kirkland

Jake is the life of every party, and he spent most of college trying to drag Tate along for the ride. Basically, if there was fun to be had, Jake was already there… probably holding a red cup.

Jake Quere

This is Luke, Tate’s younger cousin and partner in summertime mischief. Together they spent their summers doing good ol’ redneck stuff… the kind of activities that usually start with ‘plug your ears’ and end with someone needing a bandage.

Luke Schultz

This is Seth, Tate’s older cousin and his summer sidekick at the Bureau County Speedway. The two love the Green Bay Packers, the Fighting Illini, and copious amounts of Pizza Cellar pizza. Enough to qualify as it's own food group.

Seth Schultz

And this is Frank—Tate’s stepson, groomsman, and the guy who proves family isn’t just about blood. Tate stepped up to be the dad Frank needed, and Frank’s been looking up to him ever since… mostly because Tate’s taller.

Frank Pascell

The Bride's Bench Warmers (But Hotter)

Meet Sara, the bride’s cousin and lifelong mermaid co-conspirator. From splashing around the pool pretending to be mermaids to making a pact that they’d be each other’s Maid of Honor, Sara has been practicing her wedding duties since childhood… fins and all.

Sara Dickey

This is Morgan, the bride’s cousin and caffeine queen who slangs the best coffee east of the Mississippi. A true Powerpuff Girl, Bills bestie, and all-around gem.

Morgan Farinacci

Meet (Aunt) Laurie: giver of the best advice, distributor of legendary hugs, and a full-time cheerleader who produces more laughs than a comedy club. Basically, she’s the GOAT.

Laurie Farinacci

Maria, Maria—the third Powerpuff Girl completing the squad. With twin vibes, endless laughs, and enough energy to fuel the dance floor, she’s basically a package deal of fun.

Maria Farinacci

Here's Cass! The bride’s cousin and the one Ali always looked up to as a kid. She's a certified dance floor demolition expert. Basically, she’s been setting the bar—and the moves—since day one.

Cass Knab

Kebong, Ali’s best friend since childhood - the sole reason Ali graduated high school, her ultimate adventure buddy, and the world’s second-best rapper.

Kesang Sherpa

Meet Nick, every girl needs a gay best friend. He's been her hair stylist since 9th grade (yep, disaster included), funniest human she knows, and absolute best in dress.

Nick Ortolano

Where to Stay

Niagara Falls: nature’s version of leaving the sink on full blast and forgetting about it—only with way better photo ops, a constant mist facial, and enough water pressure to power Buffalo homes for a century.

Niagara Falls State Park

This is the OG Duff’s—accept no imitations. If you’re chasing that Chiavetta’s Buffalo BBQ magic, you’ll have to make a pilgrimage to Orchard Park. Think of it as a saucy field trip.

Duff's Famous Wings

AKG: because wings aren’t the only Buffalo masterpiece.

Buffalo AKG Art Museum

The Cajun honey butter wings are mandatory—like jury duty, but way tastier. And if you want to keep it Buffalo, the Beef on Weck’s your guy.

Bar-Bill Tavern

The Buffalo Naval Park: where you can climb on warships, press buttons you definitely shouldn’t, and pretend you’re starring in your own action movie—minus the danger.

Buffalo Naval Park

The Buffalo Zoo: come see animals doing… mostly nothing, in enclosures we pretend are ‘natural habitats.’ It’s part wildlife adventure, part ethical dilemma, and all overpriced snacks.

The Buffalo Zoo

Proof that houses can be cooler than you.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House

Come see plants thriving while you struggle to keep a cactus alive. Perfect for photos, and existential guilt about your gardening skills.

Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens

Where kids run wild, parents run on caffeine, and everyone pretends to understand the science exhibits—but the real education is learning how fast a three-year-old can disappear.

Explore & More - The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Children's Museum

Where hope is eternal and fingers are frozen.

Highmark Stadium

Home of the Buffalo Sabres, where fans show up full of hope, leave full of sighs, and still come back next season because heartbreak is cheaper than therapy.

KeyBank Center

Turning mornings into miracles, one cup at a time. Tip Morgan extra, or the football gods will curse your fantasy team.

Premium Coffee Company

Parkside Candy is the perfect spot to step back in time. Enjoy beautiful old-school architecture, grab a seat at the classic soda fountain bar, and try Buffalo’s famous sponge candy. Bonus: it was featured in The Natural, so you’re also getting a little movie history with your dessert.
