Maid of Honor
|
Robin Szypulski
|
|
 |
|
Robin is the only sister of Laura and by far the best. Even though Robin
pestered Laura continuously as children, Laura has chosen Robin to be her Maid
of Honor out of the graciousness of her heart. Robin also burst into
happy tears when Laura told her of the engagements, which Laura thinks is super
cute!

Bridesmaid
|
Jennifer "Henifa" Didio
|
|
| Jennifer and Laura first met at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
when Danika Patrick asked both of them to be her roommates. Jen and Laura
ended up being roommates for most of college. The endeering nickname
"Henifa" goes along with Laura's nickname "Laoora" which came about from their
spring break trip to Cancun. That's how their names were spoken by the
locals... it stuck! |

Bridesmaid
|
Concetta Maratta
|
|
 |
| Concetta and Laura met through Laura's father. Connie first
worked for him when she started at ESPN. When Laura went to work there,
they were instant friends. Laura's father always thought they would be
friends even before they met! |

Bridesmaid
|
Amanda Setser
|
|
| Amanda and Laura met in Maryland, shortly after Laura moved
there. Amanda's long time boyfriend (and perhaps someday husband?), Mike
Blue, works at Northrop Grumman and also was the landlord for the apartment
Taylor first lived in when he came to Maryland. It was inevitable that
somehow Amanda and Laura would meet and when they did, they clicked right away! |

Aunt Anne have always been close with Laura. Every visit promises to be
full of fun conversation and lots of laughs. Cheslea is also one of the 4
Szypulski cousins born in the same year (along with Robin)! |

Best Man

Kellen DeMarco
|
|
 |
|
Kellen an Taylor met in Shorts Hall freshman year at James Madison
University in 2002. Between hours of Counterstrike and pick-up
football, they became fast friends. Kellen was there to hand Taylor his
first alcoholic drink (at age 21) while in college. They were roommates
in school both junior and senior year and have remained in good contact
following college. Not only are they eachother's best men, but their
own weddings are only 2 weeks apart!

|
| Taylor and James met in Grafton Middle School in Yorktown,

Bobby Gifford
|
|
 |
| Taylor's oldest and and most likely tallest friend also grew up in
Yorktown, VA. Taylor and Bobby met while on the swim team for Windy Point
back when they were 5. While learning how not to drown, they became
friends. Even after going to different middle schools, they reconnected
again at Grafton High School where they both ran cross country and did marching
band. After hundreds of games of Hearts and 21 years, they are still good
friends. |

Michael Lee
|
|
| One of Taylor's only and certainly favorite male cousins,
they grew up around the same area and although Taylor is slightly younger they
became frriends. Both Taylor and Michael's mothers were very close
friends as well. Not only is Michael in the wedding, but he is a fellow
Annapolis resident. |

Kyle Woodward
|
|
 |
| To listen to Kyle and Taylor, you would not think that they're
friends. In fact, I am not sure they think they're friends. Also
meeting at Shorts Hall freshman year at James Madison University, Kyle and
Taylor were roommates sophomore year along Greek Row. Bitter rivals on
the football field, they found a common bond in the greatness of Buffalo Wild
Wings. |
