Key People

Bridesmaids

Christina Yocca

Maid of Honor

Hey hi hellooooo! I am Christina, the middle of the Yocca sisters (and also the coolest, shhh). I’m currently living in Chicago so you’ll often find me making myself at home at Kay and Austin’s…Specifically doing my laundry for free and getting to eat some good food with some even better company ;) You could definitely say they are my psedo-parents up here. I love playing video games, drinking wine, and enjoying a charcuterie board every once and a while. I’d say I’ve reached peak adulthood, am I right? I am beyond excited to stand by my big sis on her beautiful day, and I am so excited to officially call Austin my brother :) Austin had to really earn his way into my sisters life because he had to get through me first, and I can happily say he did it with ease. I love you both and can’t wait to celebrate until the sun comes up!!

Lily Yocca

Maid of Honor

Hi! I’m Lily Yocca, youngest and best sister of Kailey. I’m sure most of you know who I am but just in case, here’s a quick sparknotes on me: I am a senior in high school in Georgia and plan on attending Kennesaw State University this fall. I spend all my time working, catching up on shows, or hanging out with my puppies. I love traveling the world and learning about different cultures. Finally, I am planning on majoring in Psychology and working in social work. Now about the wedding: I am honored to be one of Kailey’s maids of honor. I can’t wait to be by her side on her special day, but I am more excited to party after!

Sylvia Aldas-Yocca

Bridesmaid

Hey, I’m Sylvia! I am from Ecuador, but raised in Northern VA for most of my life. A little about me: I am a School Counselor, I am the biggest Harry Potter nerd you’ll ever meet, and I love going to concerts! Currently, my husband (the bride’s brother) and I live in Ashburn, VA with our two doggo’s- Dora and Diego. We love a good sour beer or wine, and have been keeping busy with work, house projects, and lots of traveling. Enough about me, let’s talk about the bride and the groom. Kailey- I cannot wait to return this favor to you, seesta. You stood by me, and I will stand by you as you marry the man of your dreams! Austin- get ready because there is no bigger blessing than to call the Yocca clan your family, but if you need help, in-law to in-law, I gotchu! I cannot wait to celebrate this special day, so cheers to Kailey and Austin!

Kierra Hess

Bridesmaid

Hey Y’all! I’m Kierra Hess— Kailey’s oldest and bossiest cousin ;) I am from Pittsburgh but now live in Charleston, SC with my husband, Alex and dog, Bentley. A little bit about myself— I am a nursing instructor and love to teach! I obviously love the beach (hence why we live in the south now), shopping, traveling, and most of all my husband! Kailey and I go way back to our littler days, when we would put on dance shows in our nana and pap-pap’s basement, and then make all of our family come and watch. Of course, me being the oldest, I loved to boss everyone around (still hasn’t changed). Kailey stood to the right of me on my wedding day and I am so thankful and blessed to be able to stand by her side on her and Austin’s wedding day. I am so excited to celebrate Kailey and Austin, along with the life they will share! Cheers!

Hannah Bowman

Bridesmaid

Hey, I’m Hannah. Kailey’s crazy cousin. I currently live in Florida with my boyfriend Ryan and am attending Chiropractic school. I love to spend time at the beach and hanging with friends and family when I’m not studying. I can’t wait to be by your side for your special day Kailey and Austin!! Get ready for a good time!

Stephanie Ballis

Bridesmaid

I had the privilege of meeting Kailey in graduate school and knew within the first 2 seconds of doing so- we would be lifelong friends. I have never been good about writing a blurb about myself but I think Kailey would probably refer to me as unique - deviating from the societal norm is some discreet way. Kailey- you have been beaming ever since Austin officially came into your life and ever since meeting you Austin, It is clear to me why. For your special day, I promise to operate accordingly.

Elana Stroup

Bridesmaid

Hey everyone! My name is Elana…aka Lanie. Kay and I met in undergrad at Penn State where we practically became sisters on day one. We lived together for 2 years in a shoebox of an apartment and somehow never grew tired of each other…those two years still hold some of my most cherished memories! Then, reluctantly, but with so much excitement for the future, we split ways to pursue our dreams of becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a Veterinarian, but time and distance changed nothing. Kay, you are my best friend turned sister and now I get to stand next to you on your special day! I could not be happier or more excited for you and Austin. ♥️

Megan McGrady

Bridesmaid

Hi, I am Megan! I have been dating the best man for almost 4 years now. I consider Austin and Kailey family and got to see their beautiful relationship blossom from the start. I am so excited that Kailey asked me to support her on her big day. Congratulations to the both of you. I can’t wait to celebrate!

Groomsmen

Beau Heakins

Best Man

Hi, I am Beau. I’m Austin’s one and only brother; therefore, I’m his best man by default. Austin is not only my brother, but also my role model and my best friend. I am honored to be a part of Austin and Kailey’s ceremony and I look forward to leading the celebration. See you all on the dancefloor!

Brendan Riordan

Groomsmen

Hello! My name is Brendan Riordan and I am a groomsman of Austin’s. We first met playing junior hockey in Aberdeen, SD, and instantly became best friends when we learned we had the same birthday! It’s an honor to be standing next to Austin and watch him marry the love of his life in March of 2023!

Brock Rumbaugh

Groomsmen

My name is Brock Rumbaugh and I’m from Columbus, OH. It’s mind boggling to me that I’m going to be a part of this incredible wedding. I can’t believe it was 8 years ago that Austin, a three year vet, saved me, a rookie, a seat on the back of our hockey bus where we planned to go to college together. From that day forward I gained the brother I never had. Every college class, party and exam…you were my main man. Now I gotta let you go and let Kailey take the reigns. So excited for the two of you and I can’t wait to be the main man for the both of you.

Jimmy Resosky

Groomsmen

Hey, my name is Jimmy and I am a groomsmen and good friend of Austin. Being friends throughout the years has been a great experience, and while living life on the road Austin and Kailey have always opened their door and made me feel at home. Now being able to support Austin as he starts his married life with Kailey is a honor. Cannot wait to continue to support both of them in their new journey together!

Spencer Posey

Groomsmen

Hey guys my name is Spencer Posey. Heakins and I quickly became friends in Mr Fughs 4th grade class. Our friendship developed over time through sports, high school events and winning the first annual field lakers grape war. Whether it be going to pirate games, watching the penguins cup runs, or golfing we always seemed to have a good time. Lots of sports and competition brought us together but beer and laughter has kept us close. I’m so happy for you 2 and can’t wait to celebrate. PS - Kailey you better let us keep golfing together

Austin Dulski

Groomsmen

Hello there. If you’re reading this then congratulations, you just got to the coolest groomsman and the real brother Austin always wished he had. For those of you who don’t know who I am (so sorry to hear that) I am Austin Dulski and have been best friends with the bride and groom since about middle school, where this whole adventure really began for both of them. Austin is one of my closest friends and can’t wait for him and Kailey to begin their life together. Congratulations to you two and your parents!

Chris Panza

Groomsmen

Hello everyone, my name is Chris Panza and I’m from Pittsburgh, PA. I have known Austin and Kailey since 5th grade and I am honored to be a part of their special day. Exciting might be an understatement, I am ecstatic! Just like when I asked Austin to drive his hummer in high school and he actually said yes, it was a dream come true. Imagine test driving a hummer and not having to put gas in it. Best of both worlds! Growing up with Austin and Kailey and then seeing them now, nothing has changed. I see two amazing people working together on all their goals, while supporting each other through it all. Much love to Austin and Kailey and both of the families!

Zach Edinger

Groomsmen

Hello everyone, I’m Zach Edinger! I cannot express how excited I am for Austin and Kailey. Even though the invitation likely has my name on an international criminal list, I am extremely honored to share this special day with a perfect couple. After having a few classes with Austin in middle school, I knew it was only right we’d be friends for life. From Florida all the way to Arizona, we have sure done some damage. Congratulations to Austin and Kailey and both of your families! I can’t wait to see the wonderful life you are creating together!

Zach Yocca

Groomsmen

Hi, my name is Zach. I am one of Austin's groomsmen and the brother of the Bride. Whether she needs a brother, friend, advisor, or teacher; I always have my sister's back. As Kailey and Austin start their life together, my responsibility as a brother only extends. Austin and Kailey, Sylvia and I will always have your back, near or far.
I am so excited to help you guys celebrate your big day together!!
